Politics Often Requires Stitches...

Remember people - if Obama or ACORN does it then it's a sedate "community organized" meeting. If a conservative or conservative group does it... IT'S A MOB! RUN! RUN!

Mob Rule or Democracy in Action? Health Care Debate Focuses on Opponents Over Substance

Democrats are stepping up their campaign against opponents of health care reforms, depicting town hall audiences protesting a Democratic-sponsored bill as angry mobs duped into hostile actions by special interest groups.

The Democratic National Committee released a Web video and e-mail on Wednesday blasting opponents of the 10-year, $1 trillion plan.

Titled "Enough of the Mob," the ad warns that the "right wing extremist base" is back after losing the presidential election, a series of legislative battles and the confidence of Americans. [...]

Republicans have seized on the charges.

"Instead of acknowledging the widespread anger millions of Americans are feeling this summer toward Democrat-controlled Washington, Washington Democrats are trying to dismiss it as a fabrication," House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in a statement. "That isn't likely to sit well with Americans outside of Washington who are struggling and wondering when their elected leaders are going to wake up and change course."

The Republican National Committee fired back with an e-mail titled "THE MOB? Hey Democrats, They're Called The American People." The e-mail goes on to list a series of links to stories and polls revealing growing doubts about Obama's top domestic priority and his economic policies.

And the Libertarian Party said Obama, a former community organizer, should think twice before approving a campaign that attacks communities for organizing, even if it's against him.

"Libertarians find it ironic a community organizer is now using the government to try and stop people from organizing their communities," Libertarian National Committee spokesman Donny Ferguson said in a statement.

"Instead of using official edicts to smear, slander and intimidate everyday Americans into silence, Democrats should listen to the majority of Americans and drop their plans for a radical government takeover of their health care."

My opinion? If these are organized groups getting out to protest this health care scam - it's about damn time! that conservatives & libertarians got their act together. How long have Democrats used Unions as a personal "flash mob"? Decades? A century? Not to mention ACT, Moveon.org, the Kossacks, and other Soros funded armies. Politics is rough and tumble - and filled with dead smelly fish as Rahm hath shown us - so if Dems can't stand the sight of needles and scalpels... and blood... maybe they should get out of the operating room.
