This is the actual headline at the home page of the Huffington Post tonight

VIOLENCE BREAKS OUT AT TAMPA TOWN HALL ON HEALTH CARE Protesters Say They Had Been Spurred On By Conservative Activist Group, Fox News Host

Clicking on the headline, the article drops the subtitle but goes on to say within the article: Many of the hundreds of protesters said that they had been inspired by a conservative activist group promoted by Fox News host Glenn Beck and some received emails from the county Republican party, according to the St. Petersburg Times: Instead, hundreds of vocal critics turned out, many of them saying they had been spurred on through the Tampa 912 activist group promoted by conservative radio and television personality Glenn Beck. Others had received e-mails from the Hillsborough Republican party that urged people to speak out against the plan and offered talking points to challenge supporters.

We will surround them. They are lucky they aren’t drug into the streets and strung up for their crimes against freedom.

The Huffington Compost is working overtime trying to promote Zero’s socialist agenda.

saying they had been spurred on through the Tampa 912 activist group promoted by conservative radio and television personality Glenn Beck.

So would that make Beck a "community organizer"?

President Obama’s top priority for Congress is health care reform. Insurance companies are spending over a million dollars a day lobbying against the reform, while feeding myths and fears to America. It will take the same grassroots energy that got Obama elected to see the change we voted for. Our work isn’t over.

Build support for health care reform with U.S. PIRG. Mobilize activists to cut the cost of health care, expand coverage, and stop sick from getting dropped by insurance companies. Go out in your community and make change happen. Make friends and money along the way.

Earn $400-$600 per week. To apply for a job, call Chris at 612-331-1434.

The Fund for the Public Interest has been working for over 25 years with organizations such as Sierra Club, Environment America, Human Rights Campaign, Progressive Future and U.S. PIRG to win concrete victories for the public interest. We are the nation’s premier nonprofit for raising money, building membership and winning grassroots campaigns.

And the problem with that is?

God Bless Glenn Beck! But they are giving him too much credit. People who don’t even own a TV are showing up to protest the Obamacare Bill at their local venues. Word of mouth...the internet...local radio...

How is Obama going to shut ALL of them down?

I would hardly consider Glenn Beck an organizer -

However, Organizing for America and HCAN/Health Care for America are working overtime - organizing hard throughout the country to disrupt the voices of sincerely upset Americans. THey are planning, holding meetings, camps, lectures, wearing their name badges and holding clip boards, and told what to say and do.

What we are seeing at the town hall meetings are hundreds to thousands of individuals who have finally had enough.
