The White House disagreed this afternoon with the contention by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, that the disruptions at town hall meetings are "un-American," as the Democratic congressional leaders contended in a USA Today op-ed this morning.
"I think there's actually a pretty long tradition of people shouting at politicians in America," White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton told reporters on Air Force One when asked about the comments.
"The President thinks that if people want to come and have a spirited debate about health care, a real vigorous conversation about it, that's a part of the American tradition and he encourages that, because people do have questions and concerns ...And so if people want to come and have their concerns and their questions answered, the President thinks that's important.

L!Just a few ground rules before we begin.
1) Do not interrupt President Obama when he is speaking, even when he speaking out of turn.
2) Do not verbally or physically show or demonstrate dissent, disagreement, or any variation of dissent or disagreement to anything President Obama may say, regardless of accuracy or inaccuracy.
3) If you must disagree, you must do so by publicly agreeing with President Obama and you'll be given the opportunity later to disagree in private. We promise.
lol is that a translation?
I think you are right!
Yup...very close.

I guess Pukosi and holeinthehead didn’t clear it with The Joker before spouting off to the press. It’s ok for him to sic Union thugs on protesters but you can’t call them Un-American!
I’ll use it. Hope it works out better than my Japanese tattoo, though.
Is anyone supposed to be impressed by this? After the Administration praises the SEIU for their “good work”?
The Democrats have been demonizing and vilifying their opponents for years, and will keep on doing it, unless it is made to stop working for them.
It is fun watching Obama stab Pelosi, et al, in the back.

SUre he can. He can have it both ways. That way the people who want to overlook his “punch back twice as hard” statement say ‘he’s just sticking up for his side’, he still wants others to have their say.
It’s so transparent. He’s gong to let his goon squads totally do the opposite anyway. HCAN, ACORN, MoveOn, SEIU and the other unions thug everyone who disagrees.
Whtie House said Policie acted stupidly
by “vigorous conversation” he means a conversation on the best way to praise Obama and impose his will upon the peasantry.
American tradition??
It is the right and duty of every American citizen to petition their Govenment for redress of greviences. It's not like hanging popcorn balls on a Christmas tree. It's serious business.
As another freeper mentioned, his numbers must be nose-diving. "encourages that" my a$$. Wonder how Limbaugh's numbers are doing?
I just HAD to post that again!

Fascism and Paganism: A Brief Comparison of Nazism, Communism and Islam; (Hardcover)
by Craig, Read (Author)(2006)
Synopsis
Fascism is not a ‘modern’ era phenomenon nor is it unique. It has been the de-facto organizing principle of mankind for most of history. Paganism is a form of pre-modern fascism. Most religious orthodoxies are of course premised on pagan cults. Modern fascism uses the guise of spirituality in the form of paganism to spiritually justify its assault on civilization. When the two are fused - spiritual paganism with modern fascism - you have a violent and hate-filled philosophy that finds its expression in Hitlerism, Communism and Islam. This book compares these three modern forms of an age old evil that has been the main obstacle to human progress. This book was written after extensive research, travel, interviews and help from others more knowledgeable on certain topics. I don’t pretend to be an expert in all the areas of historical political and economic development. Nor am I posing as the expert investigator on any of the chosen themes that populate the work. Thousands of more competent analysts exist in each area. I wrote this book to objectively narrate a common thread and threat in human history, namely that of Fascism and its ‘orientalist’ genetic composition. It is important in life to impartially record reality, to see the world for what it is and to defend our civilization against utopia’s, fantasies and evil. In this regard we need more literature and expositions which make the link between the various ideologies which are in essence pagan cults; their commonality throughout history; and their threat to civilization. It is the threat posed to civilization by immoderate Islam - another type of pagan cult - that prompted the creation of this summary work. Let me explain as well what this book is not. It is not a diatribe against individual Muslims; it is not a declaration of hate against any non-Western people, lands or empires; it is not intended to be the most detailed study of any of the fascist cults past or present; and it is not intended to supplant any of the existing literature on Nazism, Stalinism, or Islam. The book does intend however, to show a common framework amongst the pagan ideologies that have tried to end mankind’s development and extinguish liberty. To keep the book short and concise I have chosen to focus on three primary cults, namely; Hitler’s Germany, Lenin-Stalinism in Russia, and Islam. I could have discussed other cults and movements but the essential points I want to make can be given by examining these three ideological fascisms. The conclusions formed by such a comparison can be extended to various other criminal ideologies and regimes throughout mankind’s history. I hope the book clarifies some ideals, opens some minds and gives some food for thought. You can read the book in its entirety or skip to a chapter that is of more interest. I have tried to keep all the footnotes down to a minimum, though I do source all ideas that are not my own. If you have any questions on sources, content or where my ideas come from then please ask. As for people who constantly harp that criticism is akin to hate speech, do some reading, live in a fascist state and understand what freedom really means.

(And I believe the “peace sign” can also be traced to communism, nazi-fascism and paganism).
