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.”

De-humanizing your enemies is a required step before you can send them to the concentration camps.

This “anyone who disagrees with us is a crazy lunatic” thing is really catching on with the lefties.

If Congressman Doggett and his comrades believe that this is not grassroots but just organized by local Republicans, I hope they remember it next November (2010) when they lose their jobs.

But a guy that assaults President Bush by throwing his shoes at him is a liberal hero. I am tired of these hypocritical douchenozzles and their “free speech for me but not for thee” horse crap.

dangerous, oh geez, using ridicule and defamatory allegations to make a point. Let’s remember what was dangerous was when the liberals congregated around the country with anti-war protests, shutting down the senate bldg because they wouldn’t get off the floor - chanting anti troop and USA slogans, enticing hate towards our country - now that was dangerous.

I get it

group of folks are paid or told to protest is good

group of folks who just go to these protests because they really care about the country is bad

get it one is right one is left
the right are angry
the left are passionate even though they get told what tom say wit their daily talking points

the hypocrisy is astounding

Hey if he won’t come out to you, go to him! There is nothing wrong with standing on the sidewalks/side of roads near where he lives with signs stating your opinion. Remember Cindy camped in a ditch and was allowed to be there!

you never got the daily talking points then

the left are passionate
the right are angry

Even people in Europe(which you lefty’s like to be loved ) do not like him as much now and are saying he is over his head

IOW, "Just shut up and take it."

I wonder where these people were when...

There is a Tea Party type protest at Boozman’s office on August 22nd at noon (it’s a Saturday). If you want some more details, check the AR state board. I’m on the email list for the Fort Smith area Tea Party organization. We (my husband), the 4 kiddos, and I) are probably going to go.

because bozo has big ears and purple lips one lefty sheep said on a website that it was racist to say that

It is racist for asking for his past records

well ;lefty sheep, hear this loud and clear.

The time of name calling as come to an end.
You can call me what ever you want as I do not give a crap

I care what my family thinks of me and that is it.
You seriously need to look more closely and stop being sheep as you will remember the hate coming from your side.
You feed lies all the time just here’s a thought for you.

Just say what your plans are instead of lying to the public

we don’t so why not just give the north east and let them have their liberal utopia.

On one condition and that is they take all the left sheep,illegals and homo’s with them.

All conservatives not republicans can move here .

Nah the left wouldn’t likle that because they would have no tax money to support their liberal agenda
