VIDEO: Durbin On Town Halls: "This Is Clearly Being Orchestrated"
Real Clear Politics ^ | August 9, 2009 | Real Clear Politics

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,” Sen. Dick Durbin 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.

Kiss up to them all you want - they’ll glady accept your “kisses” and then leave you and yours to die - less of you, more of them.

The librals have been irrationally angry for a long time and have not met resistance. They’re like a teenager who just keeps whining and whining, expecting to get their way. If they don’t get it, they try to show how angry they are in immature ways.

As long as only one side gets angry, not problem. It takes two to tango! Now, for the first time in a long time, the opposing side is getting tired of being pushed and pushed and is not getting angry. The problem here is angry people are meeting with angry people. That’s a recipe for disaster.

And many of then think posting to Mr. Flagg will somehow cause the list to fail - They are self-selecting to be Hussein’s ememies. And when he gets too many, then they will be marked for some “coaching”.

When the so called “health care” passes - and doctors are powerless - and our employers are powerless - and we can’t appeal to insurance companies that need our business - WE’LL be left with one option to get the medical care we need for a loved one - fall in line - and kiss up to any corrupt dem who has the power to give out “favors”.

Which is the whole point of Democrat politics, particularly Chicago-style Dem politics -- to create an environment where nobody can do anything without Dem politicians and their friends getting a piece of the action.

No they are obviously just average citizens who were not told where or when. Any one can see that! Just a coincidence they are all wearing pink and bought the same gloves - how embarassing!

Can’t wait until 2010 when we ‘orchestrate’ these Dem fools right off the stage in DC

You don't understand the deeper meaning behind the "it's orchestrated" line. "Orchestration" is little different than "conspiracy", which is little different than "plots" against the "elected "legitimate" authority. That is just another name for "rebellion" , "insurrection" or even "terrorist threats" (Like threatening to vote their ashes out of office?) . Plots, rebellions and insurrections are "necessary" reasons for "postponing" elections, which cannot be held in such an atmosphere of "hate", and "terror".

For our good of course.

That's just a way of saying "Bush's fault", without actually mentioning the guy who lives just off the Tollway in Dallas.
