DRUDGE: Pelosi/Hoyer op-ed in Monday USATODAY calls townhall protesters 'un-American'

Developing.No details yet. Drudge only has the headline.

This ugly attack on average Americans exercising their free speech rights may prove to be the Democratic Congress's Stalingrad. I guarantee you Pelosi would not have published this without Obama's approval. This contempt for political opposition and Americans uneasy about the Democrats's healthcare plans goes all the way to the Oval Office. Is this the kind of "bipartisanship" and "unity" Obama and the Democrats promised, attacking hard working Americans as being "un-American?" Is this the change we can believe in?

Democrats regularly attacked Bush and Republicans for intolerance to opposition when Bush was president. I sure never heard any leading Republican governing official call the president's opponents "un-American" or to publish an ugly broadside to that effect. The media would have gone crazy on any Republican who did. But I'm sure the media will ignore this and go back to obsessing about Rush comparing Obama's logo to a swastika. It seems now not a bad observation now that we're seeing the administration and the Democrats's fetid intolerance to political opposition beginning to come into bloom.

“I’m sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we’re Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.”

— Hillary Clinton (2003)

RACE: Sorry, it’s only a Drudge headline with no link yet. It’s just one of those developing headlines with no article yet. I’m watching though for Drudge to provide some details! I’m guessing they’ll have some after midnight eastern when USAToday publishes online.

That’s right...mock them, and mock them mercilessly.

Turn Alinsky’s rules back on them.

Piece: I like your idea. These people have become arrogant to the point of being imperious. We need something like this to remind them of who they serve...and it’s not us serving them or at least shouldn’t be.

>>> That’s really the question, isn’t it? I really can’t believe that the Dems are that out of touch...or can I? <<<

If you believe that Obama's purpose is to destroy the U.S. capitalist economic system using the principles of "Cloward-Pivin" and Saul Alinsky, then maybe the Dems are not "that out of touch".

Ya know, this is the same old playbook from the dems. They falsely accuse the good of doing the exact evil things they are in reality, doing themselves. Is it called deflection? They always do this. If they call us unAmerican, it just means they know they are actually unAmerican. There is no doubt about that fact. They hate America and all she stands for. Why else do they tirelessly strive to destroy her?

I participated in Operation Chaos (Rush Limbaugh) by voting for Hillary in the primary here in Texas. As a result, I made some PUMA friends. They were treated essentially the same way by Obama when they tried to speak out in support of Hillary. They were told to “get over it” because “he won” and they needed to “get in line” and “unite” behind Obama.

Nothing new for them. Dissent isn’t tolerated. Get on board or get steamrolled. Typical Obama thug politics. The PUMAs tried to tell the McCain campaign what Obama’s tactics were and would continue to be, but McCain wouldn’t listen to them.

"... in an odd way he sometimes seems not to have fully absorbed the awesome stature of his office. You really, if you’re president, can’t call an individual American stupid, if for no other reason than that you’re too big. You cannot allow your allies to call people protesting a health-care plan “extremists” and “right wing,” or bought, or Nazi-like, either. They’re citizens. They’re concerned. They deserve respect." - Peggy Noonan

Rush is starting to look prophetic, at least to me. He has been pushing an angle that says Obama is purposely destroying the economy and creating division. This anticipated Drudge headline could be proof. The dems seem like they are going to go all in and go for our destruction.

The obvious thing for Pelosi to do is to create a committee to investigate the protestors—call it the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
