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.

I have had my freedom of speech disrupted and stepped upon for years by leftist environmental activists. Somehow THAT was ok, but these citizens trying to communicate to their representatives that this Reform bill as written is garbage and not wanted is “un-American”?
Film at 11!
I think tarring and feathering was part of the American tradition too...
> good cop? He launched a snitch line!
Yes, and the good cop held the gun to your head while the bad cop cuffed your hands behind your back.
But the good cop was only doing what he had to do, right?
"I think there's actually a pretty long tradition of people shouting at politicians in America,"
He still has not apologized for the flag@WH.theyRMarxists.gov.
“good cop ... bad cop
Head games.”
That’s it exactly.
This hits several nails right on the head.
order up a visit from SEIU

The latest tactic of the libtards, is to blame Kenneth Gladney and other victims of the SEIU violence. I kid you not. You can be completely innocent, get beat up for selling flags, and in the next day or two, they will comb through your life and somehow, in complicity with the PRAVDA press, find a way to ‘blame you’ for the beating you took at the hands of thugs and goons.
Welcome to Amerika.
Support Kenneth Gladney against ad hominem attacks on the ABC blog and on Washington Independent blog:

Right. Talking out of both sides of his mouth - in the SAME WEEK. He’s a total con man - well suited to the dim bulb party.
then saying this makes me think hes looking for a scrap- one hes confident will turn out favorable to him.

PRAVDA and the city judges (?!?) will make sure of that.
There are a few dims who are getting the message:

I think our target are the indies that voted bammy - and some somewhat sensible dems.
Yes. It is psy war. But we have more brain power than those maroons, hands down.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
- Sun Tzu
Also:
If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.
- Sun Tzu, the Art of War
good cop? He launched a snitch line!

Right. It is such a farce. Do NOT believe one word that comes out of this man’s mouth.
You can get superglue in 500 ml bottles now.
I recommend all of these, in doing political battle (and maybe street battle as the case may be with SEIU) with the White House and Official American Liberaldom.
