Astroturfing run amok

Lefties tried to organize astroturf protests for a meeting in Washington and the meeting was cancelled over safety concerns.

Why? Because the meeting wasn’t even about health care. It was about the Mt. St. Helens volcano monument.

Hey, astroturfers! Get it together, people!

Bean in hot soup

It seems that congresswoman Melissa Bean took a beating for charging $25 admission to her town hall meeting, so they simply changed the name of the event.

Later, after having to change the name of the event, she decided to do a telephone town hall meeting. Of course, the details leaked out rather slowly, and people were not able to find out about it in time, others did not get called as they were supposed to in time, and yet others did get to listen in but were not able to ask any questions. They did not allow a lot of people to call in, saying only those who had asked prior to the announcement were on the list to be included.

In other words, they put up a ton of hurdles for everyone to have to jump over just to get to talk to their representative.

Typical leftie response.

You can read about all these details at Michelle Malkin's website.

On what does she blame the lefties who pay thugs to be bussed in and attack normal people?

Media lapdog Katie Couric blames “fear” and “ignorance” for the town hall protests by normal Americans who are simply concerned for their liberties.

Who's a good widdle lappie dog? You are, perky Katie, yes you are.

The violence from the left continues and the media is blind

More violence at a town hall meeting. Again, it’s lefties who attack a normal American who is simply concerned with the loss of his liberties.

Why is Youtube becoming the only way to view these videos? Why are the networks not on this story? Why do the media lapdogs content to curl their tingle-laden legs under their glassy-staring eyes and bask in the radiance of their master?

As the man who was attacked by an Obama supporter (according to reports, a black female) is leaving, you can hear other leftie thugs taunt him by laughing and asking if he has health insurance.

Classy all the way.

At least she stayed off the phone during the interview

I’ve never been a huge fan of Rick Sanchez of CNN. But, I have to give him his due for interviewing Sheila Jackson Lee and taking her to task over the town hall incident of talking on the cell phone while a constituent is asking her a question.

Lee tries to make up some bizarre story about the video being doctored, and Sanchez presses her on it to explain herself.

Finally, Lee gives up and refuses to comment on the video by saying she has never seen it.

Understand? She can’t comment on her own actions at an event that she was present for, because she has not seen the video.

What a colossal waste of oxygen.

It was certainly not the happiest place on Earth

Congressman Alan Grayson from central FL announced he was hosting a town hall event. Funny, the announcement did not mention the fact that it immediately followed a Democratic party meeting, allowing the lefties to pack the hall with their followers.

The meeting was held in a union hall on top of everything else. Watch the video of the Vietnam veteran who is disgusted with the way the matter was handled.

Here’s how the Orlando Sentinel reported on the farce.

Do you think it was mere coincidence that this meeting was scheduled at the exact same place and immediately following a meeting of lefties?

According to first hand accounts, only about 30 people were allowed in, after the lefties packed their people in. They were also checking ID’s to ensure attendees actually lived in the district (also after the lefties had taken up over 90 seats). However, six people who were denied access because of that were escorted in by a campaign worker who referred to them as family. It’s a good first hand report, and sounds to be objective.

Voting? No ID required, just step right up. Town Hall meeting? Two forms of ID and a notarized statement, please.

Someone…anyone…please explain this one to me.

Congressman Eugene Green, DEMOCRAT from TX, has repeatedly voted against requiring photo ID’s for voting.

Congressman Eugene Green, DEMOCRAT from TX, has decided to require photo ID’s for entrance into his town hall meeting.

Are there two different democratic congressmen from TX named Eugene Green?

Or…could it be? Might he just kinda sorta actually be….a HYPOCRITE?

Okay, there is a third option. He might actually believe that getting into his town hall meeting is more important than voting.

That's one way of trying to keep the rabble out

Meanwhile, Senator Sherrod Brown didn’t exactly publicize his town hall meeting, but people found out about it anyway. Bad news for him.

She had to answer it, she thought it might be Michael Jackson calling

You just have to love Sheila Jackson Lee, the arrogant piece of something from congress, who answers a call and talks on her cell phone while a person is speaking to her at a town hall meeting. I guess the woman asking the question had it reaffirmed that her representatives could care less what she thinks.

Thanks, Sheila.

Racist, Nazi, KKK, Angry Mob Road Trip! Pack Your Brooks Brothers!

Well, at least we now know why there were no people at the Obama town hall meeting opposed to government run health care.

They had all traveled to PA to get in Arlen Specter’s face.

Question 11 - Why?

Tom Coburn is a Senator from Oklahoma. He writes and gives answers to ten questions that he says people from congress will not answer at town hall meetings. Good read.

Dems shooting themselves in the feet

Democrats took over the White House much as they did when they elected Bill Clinton, by demonizing Republicans sufficiently enough to fool a lot of people - people who are basically stupid and ignorant of things to an extent where they will vote for an emotion without thinking of cause and effect.

In fact, if you look at how the Democrats have won the White House since Nixon, what do you find? Carter won because Nixon imploded. Clinton lied and snaked his way in, and still could not have done it without the vote being splintered by Ross Perot. Obama won because the Republicans desperately wanted to kowtow to everyone and abandoned their base to try and be "inclusive" which led to McCain, who is a hero and a very nice man, but was not my first, second or third choice for Republican nominee.

So, with the unabashed help of the media lapdogs and union thugs, the liberals overtook congress and the White House again. The media trumpeted their deepest wish that the Republican party is dead. Let the Pax Obama begin.

And then a funny thing happened. As Jimmy Carter did, and as Clinton did, Obama has begun to show his true side. He is not for the little people. He is not truly concerned with any reform. He most certainly is not worried about reaching across the aisle and being generous.

No, he has grandiose plans that basically revolve around this concept - "give me all your money and I'll decide where you live, how you live, and every other aspect of your life, because I know better than you."

The only thing is the American people are not completely idiots, although there are sufficient numbers who can be fooled long enough to vote for a socialist without realizing what they've done. People are beginning to open their eyes. Buyer's remorse is hitting America hard.

Look around you. Go to Michelle Malkin's website or Neal Boortz's page. look at the videos of union thugs being bussed in to terrorize average people who are simply concerned that the government is overreaching its powers. There is a groundswell of anger building in America, and it's directed at government.

I will not sit here and say that it's only Democrats who deserve the anger. Republicans have done some pretty stupid things over the last few years as well. But, as they keep reminding us, the Democrats won, and they have all the power, and these grandiose ideas are their ideas. So they get the brunt of the anger.

Would it be anger if they would simply listen to us? Of course not. Most of the people at these town hall meetings simply want to be heard. Look at the video from Dallas. The AARP mouthpiece starts by saying, "we can all agree that health care is broken and has to be fixed." When the people begin mumbling, no we don't agree, she gets snitty with them. She was expecting trouble and her mindset was to pounce on it before it got out of hand. What she achieved was to further rile these average people. When she unplugged her microphone and stormed out, it was a hilarious moment. Sadly, the other videos of innocent people being attacked and basically mugged by union thugs was not hilarious.

Liberals think that only they know what is best for you. They think you are stupid. They think they have all the power and will never lose it. If they get to enact all of their dream laws, they might be right. They are already hijacking the census in order to illegally secure more power.

Liberals don't want democracy. It's too messy. Free enterprise and capitalism leads to some succeeding and some failing. But socialism or facism - now there's a system you can depend on. No one succeeds, but no one fails either. A total nanny state from womb to tomb. Just hand over all your money, all your intelligence, and all your freedom, and the liberals will take care of you for life. Just do everything they tell you.

There is a revolution brewing, people. I have not seen this much discontent and anger boiling just under the surface in a long time. It's about to erupt. It will only take a few more of these events like they held in St Louis or Tampa yesterday. Or an appearance by Nancy Pelosi like in Denver. Just a few more liberals need to open their mouths and call average people nazis again. Just a few more media people need to show utter disdain for "the angry mobs" waving "swastikas" and causing "riots."

The silver lining in all of this is Democrats are setting themselves up for a huge round of defeats in the next congressional elections. Pelosi won't lose, because there's too many moonbats in San Francisco. She may well indeed lose her majority, however. And then maybe we can stem the tide of this administration trying to steamroll their way Chicago-politics style right into a utopian world of socialism (their view, not mine).

At least one newspaper is admitting that Obama is beginning to look like Jimmy Carter II. I think it's great, because it shows that people are beginning to wake up.

There may be hope for this country yet.

You can't have opposing views at a town hall meeting, that would be chaos!

What’s the purpose of a town hall meeting?

Is it to gather info and insight on what the average people are thinking? Is it to gain knowledge from a constituency? Or is it to stack a hall full of people who support you and your views in order to have a great photo op?

According to Dick Durbin, it must be the latter. He is warning lefties to avoid getting a “sucker punch” like Arlen “RINO No Moro” Specter and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius got when attending a town hall meeting this past weekend in Philadelphia and they forgot to only allow in ACORN members and Democrat Party staffers.

Who Does He Think He Is Still Fooling? Oh Yeah, Everyone Who Voted For Him

Obama goes on the stump again, this time at a community college in Virginia. He holds a little get-together for a few people who just happened to wander into the room, evidently.

He even calls on three members of the audience, gracing them with the ability to ask the Big O a question on health care. One questioner even won the Obama hug lottery. Then there were questions from twitter and such.

Funny thing is, all of the people he allowed to question him were later revealed to have ties to either ACORN, SEIU, the DNC, or similar leftie organizing groups. What are the odds?

And the questions from online? Pre-screened and hand selected.

This is getting to be too much even for the lapdogs in the White House briefings, who are turning on the Obama administration. Even Helen Thomas got into the fray. Very interesting.

Oops, My Bad - Vol 3

Word has leaked out that during Bush’s last town hall meeting, all of the people he picked to ask questions were plants who worked on his campaign.

The networks reacted in a predictable manner. Perky Katie Couric and Jolly Charlie Gibson attacked the President on their shows, decrying the obvious conflict of interest. Keith Olbermann called for the President to be impeached, even though he’s already out of office. Jon Stewart and Bill Maher made the predictable unfunny jokes. Hollywood celebs decried how power could be misused in such a manner. The wacky girls at the View spent almost an hour on how deplorable this act was.

Oops, My Bad.

Actually, it was Obama’s town hall meeting, and the questioners were all involved with his campaign.

The silence from Couric, Gibson, Olbermann, Stewart, Maher, the View chicks, and other celebs has been palpable.
