Obama PACs Bus Protesters To GOP Town Halls
The Daily Caller ^ | February 12, 2017 | By Phillip Stucky

Posted on 02/12/2017 2:30:14 PM PST by Brad from Tennessee

Political action committees that fundraised for President Barrack Obama during the 2012 presidential election, bused protesters to Republican town hall events nationwide earlier in February, according to a Sunday report from The Washington Post.

Democrats nationwide continue to search for ways to oppose President Donald Trump after the 2016 election, and they are digging deep into funding from years ago. An unnamed pro-Obama super PAC organized protests at several town halls, going so far as busing protesters outside the member’s districts.

Since super PACS were legalized in the 2010 Citizens United Supreme Court decision, this marks the first time that money raised to elect one president was used to undermine another. The town hall protests largely opposed the executive order that limited travel from seven nations identified as potential sources of terrorism.

Former staffers of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton are also pouncing on the opportunity. . .

I knew as soon as I saw Jason Chaffetz town hall meeting on FOX.

IMO, the “protests” accomplish nothing except make these protesters feel like they are doing something...

When the “protests” turn violent and end up destroying things, it does less than any good they think they are doing...

It will burn them in the end...

Communist front groups trying to disrupt GOP Town Halls, this cannot stand or be tolerated.

Trumps victory is a win for the anti-communists that must be consolidated and made PERMNANENT by destroying the marxists ability to lie, cheat, and steal their way into office.

Trumps victory means nothing if the press, the propaganda organ of the CPUSA and the WASHINGTONINANS, is not intimidated into playing it straight less very bad things happen to them.

Trumps victory means nothing if the voting rolls are not purged in every state and the electoral process is standardized and made fraud proof.

Trumps victory means nothing if the “Congressional Progressive Caucus” and other marxist politicians at all levels of government are not investigated, indicted, and incarcerated.

Trumps victory means nothing if marxist agent provocateurs and “social media” platforms that use them like Twitter and Facebook are fined, arrested , and imprisoned.

Trumps victory means nothing if the military and government agencies are not purged of every single person and policy implemented by the marxists.

Trumps victory means nothing if the INTENTIONAL DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFT PERPETRATED BY THE MARXISTS is not stopped and reversed.

No more business as usual, it will take ruthless aggression and no mercy on the part of the right wing to do what needs to be done to keep these communist animals hands out of our pockets and keep us safe from enemies foreign and domestic.

Its not going to happen solely through legislation and debate.

This is a GODDAMNED CIVIL WAR , and the left needs to be fought employing all means necessary to ensure our survival.

Why these lowlife GOP rinos have not repealed obamacare already in January.

they are getting elected repeatedly campaigning against obamacare since 2010 election.

they don't have any shame/ honor.

they are giving enemy time to regroup and using stalling tactics.

It is an ongoing mystery to me why no one on Trumps team seems to be interested in doing anything about that evil prick Soros. Let’s swap him for Snowden at least the Russian want to lock him up let em!


He is fighting the entire establishment, including the Establishment media.

He has to play by the rules of the Constitution.

He has been in office three whole weeks.

You are expecting miracles. Give President Trump some time.

Yes, people should email their representatives and suggest this. Real constituents only, photo ID required to get in the door.

In ‘95/96 they did the same thing. Bused in protesters to disrupt. They went into hiding during obama’s reign.

1995 – October 16 - Million Man March - A gathering and atonement of men from across the U.S. The United States Park Police officially estimated the crowd size at 400,000 while a Boston University study put the number at 837,000.

1996 – October 12 -Immigrant Rights March - First national march in D.C. for equal rights for immigrants.

I would say this was more tied into Soros and Globalist. But it wouldn't surprise me if these PAC's are controlled by Globalists as well. Or was that what you were suggesting?

Exactly.

The fact that they have to bus people around tells me that there is very little support for their actions.
