There was an interesting article posted today in Wall Street Journal called “Lawmakers Rethink Town Halls”
Is this really surprising? We have already been seeing local politicians that have switched from public to telephone/conference call THM. I think the Democrats are shocked that people are actually doing what Americans were taught that freedom is about … Letting our public officials know how we feel with the job they are doing to “us”, the people they are supposed to represent.
I just don’t believe how opposed the “people” are to having the government take over our health care and plan our future for us. People are angry, they don’t trust the government to make better choices for them and they feel they are being lied to. They are looking for answers and becoming more angry every day because nobody is listing to them. For those of us that are concerned and speak up, the Democrats/News Media are depicting as Crazed Angry Mobs, or people being organized by some fringe group or worse yet supported by a political party, maybe even drug companies??? … this is just making people angrier.
The people I know are normal middle class Americans, not being controlled by anybody. The politicians are really helping that matters when people like Dick Durbin calls health care oponentes IDIOTS! It is sounding like “a scripts or talking points” to me with the lineup of Liberals that are coming out and saying to same thing to try and intimidate/ dismiss any questions from Senior Citizens. Barbara Boxer Objects To Health Care Protesters’ “Attire”
The media is suggesting that the questions being asked by Seniors are all scripted and that it stems from some deep hatred of a black president. That it doesn’t matter if the subject is Health Care or anything else .. we are just a bunch of hate filled puppets. What a bunch of BS. Of course our questions all sound similar, it’s because most seniors are afraid of the same things we see happening and we are not getting answers to our concerns about Health Care Reform. But these questions are certainly not scripted … I can talk to anybody my age that has the same fears/concerns as to how this bill will affect our future health care … and guess what, we talk about the same points in the bill that are causing our concerns! I’t President Obama, Liberal Media and Liberal Politicians that are trying to intimidate Seniors to not spiel. Here is what Mark Levin said last night: “Obama will be responsible is anything happens to ObamaHealth care protestors”.
Obama talks about wanting the people that created the mess to just quit talking and get out of his way … ah, hasn’t government run health programs and health care been in a mess through both Republican and Democrat Leadership? Here is Obama : ‘Don’t Want the Folks Who Created the Mess to Do a Lot of Talking’
To see how the media is bending Senior concerns to meet their purpose of suggesting we are an angry mob controlled and scripted (It’s Insulting) … here is a video: On CNN, Media Matters’ Boehlert Discusses Coordination Behind Town Hall Disruptions, Rick Scott
Notice most of these people protesting/speaking are nothing more than the average Senior Citizen!
The majority of people protesting, and I really don’t think it protesting when they are trying to get their questions answered in a THM, are getting angry and shouting become nobody is listening to them or answering their questions. Gee, I can’t think of anything more frightening that a mob of angry Senior Citizens? How about some mobs and intimidation that I do find scary, like: Vote at your own risk? DOJ Dismisses Charges Against Black Panthers or maybe ACORN Demonstrators as posted by jcncnc’s Channel who says: “How rigged are these protests? With their professionally made signs and pre-written chants, THESE are what “orchestrated” protests look like” … ACORN PROTESTORS . Do you see the media labeling the Black Panthers or ACORN as being scripted, hired and orchestrated protesters? Do you see something unbalanced and just wrong here?
