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 bloggers message.
Yes, there is now much energy on the right, Politicos Jonathan Martin wrote on Monday afternoon, adding there is danger in such raw passion.
Martin mentions Rep. Lloyd Doggetts 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 youll 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.

Change history? Isn't that impossible?
The utopian vision that is sold is never manifested.
Revisionist history means never having to acknowledge the lessons of the past.
the police said that 8000 to 10,000 folks turned up to protest DC
the video confirms this and yet the state run media fail to report any of this and the local media said 300.
This is the kind of NAZI news Hitler would be proud of.
The left are truly shocking in their lies, they actually know deep down that most folks are waking up to their lies and false info so they resort to what they always do.
name calling and label folks with names
well I couldn’;t give a crap
Lobbyists, the Republican Party, Joe Sixpack, who cares....
If the people are angry, the politicians will just have to take note.
Its still a free country.
Stand up to the politicians, they are planning these “town hall” events everywhere.
A state representative is running one in my town tomorrow.
But New Black Panther operatives yelling racist slurs and intimidating white voters at a polling station on Election Day is NOT DANGEROUS.
If labeling us “organized” by the insurance companies and “dangerous” doesn’t work...I suspect they’ll plan an event to prove it. I think this may be what Beck has been concerned about. Thus far, however, they’re whining about nothing...since when is shouting “Just say NO” dangerous? Considering the tactics used by their “organized” folks, like Acorn and the like, our protests are tame.
Depends on just how passionate they get & just how much ammo I have with me at the time.
This is how you know when you have an arrogant, out-of-control, out-of-touch Congress - they make these kinds of idotic threats against the same people they represent - REGARDLESS of which party they support!!!
Alinsky needs some new tactics, the old ones are so over
Bump to post 21
Democrats have a warning for Republicans: Angry constituents who berate their congressional representatives at public forums are dangerous people.Here's a hint demoncRATS; You ain't seen dangerous yet.
Right now the pot's starting to boil and the lid is rattling. When it reaches boiling point and the lid comes off, then you'll see dangerous. And its called the US Constitution and restoring the rule of law..
The sh!t hasn't even begun to hit the fan. I hope they are ready because it's comin.
Call, fax, write (get post cards). Use www.faxzero.com to send two free faxes per day.
Alternate between their in-state and DC offices.
We need to get bigger crowds to these town halls.
This is Alinsky’s “ridicule” your opponent tactic. They hate it when you use it against them. Witness the Obama Joker poster.
Whatever you do, don’t let ANY accusations of racism stop you from criticizing a leftist.
It’s why they use it - it’s their “Race Shield”.
Better yet, when given the opportunity, let them know you know why they use it, and that it will no longer work.
