CNN: The Senates 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, Sen. Dick Durbin told CNNs 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.

This was a spontanious protest. /s
I wonder who gave them access to the hearing room dressed like that?! Especially since it isn't 'Brooks Brothers'! /s
No mention of 'orgainized mobs' from lying MSM either!
Ahh yes.. the citizen volunteer band leaders are directing the orchestra to play a symphony of rebellious sounds and lyrics filling the rooms of the nation’s Town Halls. The music of the conservative revolution is beautiful and uplifting to the ears, minds and hearts of the patriot citizens everywhere. Does Pete Seeger or Bruce Springsteen wish to participate in the ‘orchestra’?
The Democrats have an “orchestrated” talking point here.
Democrats are easy to predict. One says something then they all repeat it. Orchestrated is the talking point for today.
Just keep up ignoring the people of the United States and you aint seen nothin’ yet Durbin.
Does this mean we’ll be getting t-shirts?
Beautiful. “Leah” said it best.
FUDD!
Leaderless resistance, which is what this is, defies alinsky rules. With no obvious leader you cannot freeze personalize and destroy. This is the problem the fascist dems have, it’s totally out of their comfort zone and they don’t know how to react. In a way it’s similar to their reaction when Sarah Palin resigned.
Wow. That first caller was awesome!
He is full of arrogance and bullshit. Congress is headed out. Those new planes will be for new members.
unless the accused happens to be conservative. In that case, the reverse is true and no proof is sufficient to exonerate.
My “brave” congressional representative, Diana DeGette, is simply going to phone in her townhall so-called meetings. She has asked that any questions from her constituents be called in and they will decide which ones are addressed. How’s that for arrogant? These brain-dead Dems are up for one hell of a shock come 2010, I can’t wait to vote in that one! Buh bye DuhGette!
“Orchestrated” is their talking point—so what? Of course it’s orchestrated: WE ALL AGREE THAT SOCIALISM IS STUPID!!
We should take that out of their playbook.
Read Fred Barnes recent article on Plan B.
This simply states that there will be a type of reform to celebrate no restrictions on pre existing conditions, and this will be celebrated as reform.
He offers that this is a semi done deal with the insurers as they see this option as being one step short of takeover.
The article details how costs will rise even with this supposed improvement.
Watching the dems , especially Sebilius/Spector, I had the feeling they were too calm in their meeting, and already had a cooked deal in their minds.
After all the Dems can pass what they want with any Rep support.
UP THEIRS!
Cool then...How do we contact Texas lobbyist and get paid already? The Dems pay their mobs so why are we conservatives left out of the reparations and stimulus funds for our Town Hall efforts? (:
There's a whole chapter in Atlas Shrugged devoted to that. Part 2, Chapter 2: The Aristocracy of Pull.
Heard Ann Coulter say what liberal Dems accuse conservatives of is what they are secretly hiding themselves. All this talk of ‘orchestration’ is what THEY do instead. And accusing us of being on the take from insurance companies? Most likely that is because they themselves are manipulated by bribes from special interest groups and dirty hidden money influences. Think about that!
