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.”

That’s the goal, as it historically always has been,

the left brands ideological opponents as terrorists, or dangerous, or mentally ill,

and use the power of the state to kill or punish them.

The security person is leaving and now it appears Obummer’s top lawyer is getting ready to jump off the plank. Is the water starting to fill up in the ship of State?

I think they understand the powder keg they’re sitting on.

There hasn’t been a surge in the “target shooting” sport to explain the guns and ammo sales since november...

Strike the spark, you SOB’s, and you’ll reap the whirlwind.

I’ve missed a number of discussions on FR lately even though I read it regularly.

I had to hear quotes about 2 news items on talk radio to find out about them today.

One was the “racist” Obama as Joker poster.

The other dates back to around July 16th when Barbara Boxer told a black CEO business leader to shut up already about the pending legislation on climate change. He was told that the NAACP has already come out in support of it. The man told her quite clearly that was a racist statement and that the NAACP’s stated mission in no way qualifies them to speak for him on the matter of climate chagne.

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

There is no one on the left that will, or even can, be honest about their intent.

This is one of the major reasons that they hate Palin - she CAN speak from her real core beliefs without alienating 80% of the population.

Sure, it would be great to divorce them.

But that’s not what they want.

They want to CONTROL you. And letting you go live without their control is antithetical to their core beliefs.

That’s because liberals define anyone who disagree with them as nuts. But, of course, it’s the liberals who are nuts, because they subscribe to views that are unsustainable in the real world and they want to give away everything under the sun to their pet constituencies. I hate them all.

I really think 0bama loves this. Never before has this country been more at war with each other and infiltrated from within.

The right vs. left cultural warfare is flamed by 0bama.
It is out of hand.

0bama is definitely a racist who is fomenting a race conflict on a grand scale. He wants the power of the state to be against whitey, though, and is manipulating things to that end. All the while, he’s still painting whites as racist. Why not? It’s worked so far to deflect any and all criticism.

Gibbs stating something about the “commonalities” of the protesters was a veiled reference to “racist white conservatives”.

“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”

Liberals are the proverbial monkey wrench in the gear set, there is no good that can come from them.

I checked the DUmpster last night and they are furious. Saying these people need to be stopped, they have no right to do this at those meetings. What it’s really all about is that the Obummer team planned to use videos of those town hall meetings on You Tube. Instead it’s backfiring because the videos show people mad and shouting no! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Their paid bloggers are out in force working the You Tube comments on health care videos with their talking points. I have a screen shot where someone admitted they were just paid to post what they were given. Just like they did during the campaign, they’re back, we need to do the same..... not just a few of us, we need to do it in numbers because we know the RNC didn’t learn their lesson last year and they still don’t understand the power of the internet. Sadly, the community organizers do. We need boots on the ground and teams of bloggers.

It was none other than Hillary Clinton who famously screeched,

"I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration"?

Hey DUmmies, up yours.

this is war...it is the war of the Democratic against the Baby Boom...who have paid into and now are poised to reap the “benefits” of Social Security and Medicare...it is the war of those who created these fraudulent programs ...which have fleeced 45 years of taxes from the Baby Boom..and never intended to grant them the “benefits” they were conned into allowing to be withheld from their paychecks. It is a personal war...because by hastening them to their graves...they intend to fleece their descendants of their estates.

Everyone who disagrees in any way with the messiah is being labeled as a dangerous nut. As always, accusing others of what they themselves are.
