Liberals Paint Health-Reform Protesters As Dangerous Nuts Tuesday, August 04, 2009 By Susan Jones, Senior Editor

(CNSNews.com) – Democrats have a warning for Republicans: Angry constituents who berate their congressional representatives at public forums are “dangerous” people.

“These are the sort of excessive displays that breed a backlash,” wrote a Politico.com blogger on Monday. The national press secretary for the Democratic National Committee linked to the Politico item in a mass email on Tuesday, effectively endorsing the blogger’s message.

“Yes, there is now much energy on the right,” Politico’s Jonathan Martin wrote on Monday afternoon, adding “there is danger in such raw passion.”

Martin mentions Rep. Lloyd Doggett’s recent encounter with protesters at an Austin area grocery store. Some of his constituents were captured on videotape shouting “just say no” (to the Democrats’ health care plan).

Two minutes into the YouTube video of the Doggett protest “you’ll find a guy carrying a kid on his shoulders and hoisting a sign with the Nazi ‘SS’ lettering,” Martin wrote. (The hand-lettered sign appears to read “SS Stop SS Socialized” ?? health care.)

The New York Times quoted Doggett as saying that he was “ambushed,” not by grass-roots protesters, but by “a very coordinated effort where the local Republican Party, the local conservative meet-up groups sent people to my event.”

Obama sees this as the counter revolution to the revolution.
These are the 25 million for the weather underground deathcamps.

Oboma actually believes he and his friends are the rightful owners of the United States. He must have something planned for all us evil non citizens who are not his buddies.

Just because we don’t want to see this country go bankrupt and/or destroy the finest medical system in the history of human kind - we are nuts?

I will be “nuts” then!

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

Okay, where are they? Haven't seen hide nor hair of 'em, have you? Bring 'em on!

As Hillary Clinton famously yelled...“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic, and we should stand up and say, ‘WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DEBATE AND DISAGREE WITH ANY ADMINISTRATION!’” Free speech. It might be the very best thing about America, even when it irks.

BTW, this from Michelle Malkin. I remember Hill saying it and it needs to go around the world...keep it going....

this is a sheet from their game plan....those terrorists in DC:
‘Change,’ for Alinsky, invoked radical socialism and meant the redistribution of wealth. [For] Obama [it] means the same, but by hiding the reference he avoids having to be explicit about the radical goal behind the theme.”

Some Key Alinsky Code Words

Change - Eliminating the free enterprise system and replacing it with socialism, and peacefully overthrowing the present government and replacing it with communism.

Community Organizer - One who (1) agitates by identifying and magnifying the real or imagined failings of the establishment as they supposedly apply to the target group, (2) organizes the target group into a political force, and (3) turns that force into “change”.

I will never forgive that sub-human Bono for what he did and said. The left are a bunch of hypocrites (Geldorf excepted). Pres Bush walked the walk and they couldn’t stand it:

That means "Social Security", you mental midget! When Liberals try to describe Conservatives, they end up describing themselves.

Where were the Dims when this stuff cropped up in antiwar protests???

The Dims INVITED these groups into their rallies (ANSWER, World Can't Wait, other Commie groups). And yet, they are flipping out about an Obama Joker poster!

What irony!

Dear Leader was Organizer Extroidinaire and now they have the balls to complain that the GOP organizes these ‘protests’?
You can’t make this stuff up.

the left doesn’t know what to do since nobody is angry at bush anymore...just obama. And there is no passion *for* obamacare. What are they going to say? “I want you to pay for my health insurance and I want it now!”???

Yesterday, HUMAN EVENTS reported the leaked House Democrat Communication Strategy memo that included a paragraph that is now at the center of a dispute: “The Leadership is working in close coordination with the White House and outside groups (including but not limited to HCAN, Families USA, AFSCME, SEIU, AARP, etc.) to ensure complementary efforts during August. The President, Secretary Sebelius and other principals in the reform debate will be working throughout the month to hold events, promote the message in the press and move the reform effort forward.”

So much for Dems opposition to organized protest/

You ain’t seen nothing yet!

This brings to mind the first Mission Impossible movie.

Kitrich: I understand that you must be very upset.

Ethan Hunt: You haven't seen me very upset.

Looks like you may have missed this thread:

Call For Informants: If You Oppose Obamacare, Even in ‘Casual Conversation,’ WH Wants to Know

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2308048/posts


Call me crazy, call me paranoid. I spent 15 years married to a 1st generation German-American. His grandparents from both Germany and Hungary (both sides of family) came to America too.

There is a dangerous mind-set afoote. The next voting generation will have been born after the fall of communism. Essentially they have grown up in a world without ever knowing of its ills. China for all its trade is still a pretty closed country when it comes to internal strifes and this particular generation is more concerned with their cool gadgets from China, than their politics.

You and I may turn around in as little as a year or two and find ourselves...? These people, these informants will be the firsts to sign on and will be the hardcore elements. The ACORNS etc. will encourage their shadow groups to join. The encouragement will turn to requirement.

I wish I had your bravado about what is happening, but I willing admit I don’t.

No, I am not paranoid. I’m downright scared.
