‘manufactured Protest’ Is Charged As If Only Gop Object 2 Obamacare, But Did U See How Theyre Eating Their Own?

There is a whole bunch, then it concludes: “Even the Democratic National Committee is trashing Democrats, presumably with a green light from Mr. Obama and Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Mr. Obama’s political arm, Organizing for America, which is officially a wing of the DNC, is running ads to press Democratic Senators in Arkansas, Indiana, Florida, Louisiana, North Dakota, Nebraska and Ohio. The outfit has also staged demonstrations outside Senator Bill Nelson’s Florida offices. The campaign is heavy-handed enough that even Majority Leader Harry Reid denounced it as “a waste of money.”
This intraparty smackdown is all the more remarkable because, by winning in swing or GOP-heavy districts and states, these Members have given Democrats their governing majorities. If there’s a voter backlash in 2010, these Members will also be the first to be washed out to sea. Yet it’s becoming clearer by the day that Democratic leaders view these moderates as mere cannon-fodder footsoldiers in the great liberal revolution of 2009. And if you have to shoot a couple of them yourself to keep them all marching straight, so be it. ”
And these are the ones saying our citizen protests are ‘manufactured’? What do you think?
I think they are running out of options and are swooping in to make sure that the truth cannot be disseminated. Sad, very sad. Too bad more Americans can’t see these politicians for who they are.
Any protest has to be organized in order to be effective. Very rarely to people just snap in an orchestrated fashion.
Hence, all organized protest is ‘manufactured’.
The buzzwords among the right wing reactionaries are ‘conspiracy’, ‘agenda’, and ‘propaganda’. When you hear these words you will know you are dealing with one.
2009: Mock outrage from the Right when they are called on the carpet for busing in a bunch of teabaggers to disrupt town halls.
2005: Real Outrage from the Right that anyone would question the President when he had the Secret Service drag out anyone that dared wear an anti-Bush T-shirt to his town halls.
What a difference an election cycle makes.
I have found very few people that is for Obama’s new plans. He doesn’t even know what is in them so why is he trying to rush them through? I asked them what they liked about it and they don’t know either.
