no author stated - coward? How do these people think that the American People watching the videos of ordinary, patriotic Americans at these town halls are going to swallow such tripe -

[ksm1]

Occasionally you’ll get someone on the fringe at those rallies.

I am still waiting though for the mainstream media to call out the fringe elements who are the CORE, not just a few individuals, of the pro-Obamacare protests.

If people are continually told that their government is plotting against them, a few may decide to fight back.

The author is from the government and is here to help.

[maine-iac7]

This is how they depict the ordinary, evryday Americans at the town halls.

Protesters should read some history before making Hitler comparisons.

Where was this nitwit when the left was painting Bush as Hitler?

[dragnet2]

A recent report by the Southern Poverty Law Centre describes an uptick in the number of “Patriot” militia groups since Mr Obama’s election and frets that some could turn violent.

Reading this BS, this suddenly jumped out...

This is a garbage article that uses extremely questionably sources, such as this leftist poverty law center hysteria.

AND IT BEGINS...

“They” suggest that if anything happens to Obummer,
a conservative did it. It is really “they” who plot
against their own man - because he is failing to
accomplish the deed they put him in office to do.

... DESTROY AMERICA.

Hitler was elected too, wasn’t he? Slowly, though, he built his power and it’s too difficult to topple him. If Bush was a hitler, the Dims wouldn’t have taken the Congress and no zero would be in Martha Vineyard today.

Tripe it is. Cooked well it is tasty but not nutritious in the long run.

Pity about the Economist - it's become a sounding board for old ladies far more ignorant than the people at whom they're pointing their scrawny editorial fingers. They used to know a little more about the United States than this current batch of pablum-spouting typists apparently does. Attrition, I suppose.

[popdonnelly]

I don’t advocate violence, and I certainly don’t advocate assassination. But what about those politicians and news media people who continually demonize the opposition to this health care reform legislation? Where’s the criticism of them? What good does that do in the debate? Make it easier to dismiss the opponents? Make it okay to take away their rights? Maybe even justify an assault, which has happened? The protestors may be loud, but they haven’t been violent and aggressive.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Ummm, yeah, I'm gonna have to tell the Economist "journalist" to cram it up sideways, 'kay?

[snowsislander]

I dropped my subscription to this magazine a number of years ago; when I see the swill that it now publishes, I am certain that I made the right decision.

[Lancey Howard]

LMAO!!!

[AmericanVictory]

Is it part of economics not to bother witih facts and just thorize?

[Brugmansian]

as Lee Harvey Oswald showed, even one man with a violent sense of grievance can do a lot of harm.

I agree with the Economist. But Oswald was a marxist. That is what they do. Cause harm. It is their nature.
