Durbin on town hall chaos: ‘This is clearly being orchestrated’ Posted: August 9th, 2009 11:04 AM ET

From CNN Political Producer Rebecca Sinderbrand

WASHINGTON (CNN) – The Senate’s second-ranking Democrat slammed recent town hall protests Sunday as organized disruptions of the democratic process.

“We have these screaming groups on either side. That isn't helpful. Let's be honest about this. Town meetings are not bean bag, I've had hundreds of them and sometimes folks get upset. And that's part of America, part of our process,” he told CNN’s John King on “State of the Union.”

“But this is clearly being orchestrated and these folks have instructions. They come down from a Texas lobbyist in Washington…" he said.

It isn’t, but even if it were, so what?

I sure hope the 2010 elections are similarly organized.

That’s right - it’s that ONE Texas lobby who is telling EVERYONE what to say, think, and how to act!

Yes, Durbin, I’m proud you think its a Texas lobbyist. Texas, on the whole, distrusts, dislikes, and disdains your ilk.

This is how out of touch Dems like Dick Durbin really are. They don't realize that organizing free-thinking conservatives is dang-near impossible? They are used to their sheep that they keep on a financial leash doing whatever they ask of them.

We don't operate that way, DICK.

I ti being orchestrated. By millions of individual Americans who are fed-up and angry.

They are downloading the Dem Health Care Plan HERE and elsewhere and educating themselves.

They are also reading the cited quotes of the main architect of the plan and Chief Advisor to Obama on Health Care HERE and elsewhere, and seeing the context of the plan from the designer of it.

So, when Sarah Palin callis it evil, they know for themselves that she speaks the truth.

So they are taking their feelings...and their own documentation...to their reps and getting in their faces about it.

Do republicans ever make crazy accusations like this?

Do you want people who make things up against you when it suits them, controlling your health care?

“People aren’t unhappy about their wait for heart/cancer treatment. That’s all made up as part of an organized effort.”

Yes. it’s a “right wing conspiracy”!

LOL!

They are so OUT OF TOUCH!

The next election, provided ACORN hasdn’t taken over the vote, will side line them.

That's some desperate logic. The town hall meeting that I went to in Cherry Hill, NJ was held by john adler (D). My wife, children, and I attended after receiving an automated phone call notifying us of the meeting- just a couple of hours before the meeting was held. The majority of those in attendance, including adler, were against the health care bill.

No Senator, this IS the democratic process.

And the pro-health care groups were orchestrated even more dangerously, even incited to riot by the President of the United States. That’s some high level orchestrating, from the world’s top celebrity ‘community organizer’.

While we all knew where a lot the anti-war fanatics came from during the Bush years, I can't recall any elected republican congresscritter,, senator nor the administration, commenting, whining, bitching about their overtly orchestrated opposition.

The gangs of thugs with identical shirts and printed signs. They’re the grassroots. Right, Lord Durbin?

These elites don’t get it, these people are getting made because no one is listening.

Locked out, Beat up by Thugs, Won’t answer our phone calls

This isn’t like code pink durring bush years, they were <1%, this is more than 50% of the population.

We have 15% of the population engaged deeply in contacting Congress.

G.O.P. couldn’t organize itself out of a paper bag.

I only WISH the Republicans were this vocal.
