Our country was founded on dissent, so to label any portion of the citizens of this country as an “angry mob,” is nothing more than a policy of division. A policy of demonization and ridicule to those who don’t agree with the Administration is not a policy to unite the country.
Contrary to what the DNC says, they adhere to the very principles that they want to distance themselves from, socialism. Barack Obama has in six months followed almost every single idea Saul Alinsky professed in the “Rules for Radicals.” The most classic rule being used now is Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame. They accuse us of manufactured anger, and that the Town Hall disrupters are all paid by the insurance companies. They refuse to believe that this can actually be individuals that don’t agree with them. They want to make you believe in their little short sighted conspiracy theories.
Yesterday two of my articles were attacked on the Examiner.com. An “ad hominem” attack was perpetrated by a deranged left winger, which intended to hi-jack the whole article to give him an earpiece to the internet, ignoring normal manners, he used sexual innuendo, and personal insults to be heard. I must admit I was. He posted under many different names, and even tried to disguise him or herself as one of my loyal readers, and even multiple times posing as the Examiner administration unit.
Every situation to me acts as a “learning situation” and I have after this issue! At first I deleted the whole article, falsely assuming I would eliminate the problem. That wasn’t to happen, as he then invaded other articles. You might think……well either you or the Examiner could just delete the offending posts. Well that is true, but the offender was on a mission to destroy the message and the credibility of the article. I personally removed over 140 comments in less than 4 hours, so his obsession is obvious! This will not keep me from speaking my piece, or watering down my article to appease him/her. I will try my best to separate his comments from the real comments, even if they are ones that disagree.
This clearly shows the intent of the left wing. I post articles on here that include 80% news and then include my personal feelings and comments, based on those news articles. For those who have no clue, we call these COMMENTARIES. I know you don’t see the procedure involved in posting an article on here, but you need to make a declaration as to what type of article you intend to post……everyone of my articles are self declared as COMMENTARY.
I for one am damned tired of being referred to as part of an “Angry Mob.” I am an angry individual, I am angry because of where our country is headed. I am angry because the government sees it necessary to call the right a bunch of crazies. I am tired that the talking head of the Obama Administration, Robert Gibbs, who laughs constantly at anyone who criticizes the Administration, and belittles them. All this bad behavior seems to be spurned by the similar behavior of the President, and gets carried like the plague to articles like mine, and some deranged individual thinks it’s ok to bash me personally, because his President does the same thing. (“The police acted stupidly”)
We won’t be laughed at Mr. Gibbs; we are the other side of the aisle, not a leper colony! We have a voice; we can string 10 words together without saying……Uh, uh, uh, uh.
I know that I for one am not giving into the new status quo, when I have a question or a point I don’t agree on I will ask it, and I will NOT be silenced.
See how the DNC seeks to demonize us!

I cannot remember any time in my life the US Government saying such things against the American people. NEVER!
It is a terrible move on their part but I hope they keep it up. 2010 is just around the corner. And being called a swastika carrying Nazi by Pelosi will NOT be forgotten.
Did Pelosi or Reid have a statement on this group assault on our last SoS?

You are right about the crazies on both sides.
I DO NOT TRUST THE GOVERNMENT with anything much less my health.

When you are continually and repeatedly hosed by your own elected officials, and they REFUSE TO ANSWER SIMPLE QUESTIONS there is a tendency to get upset!
Refreshing, @ a citizen that fights back, and all of the other little characters living in your head; you need serious help dude. Not only has your personality splintered into a million little pieces, your common sense took a hike a long time ago. Take it from Dr. Phil, check yourself into the Rubber Ward and leave the politics to those with more space in their head for clear thinking!
Who are the “organized” ones?

A COMMUNIST Party USA publication. But no, we can’t associate Obama with the Communists now can we?
“The AFL-CIO has called on its union affiliates to defend lawmakers’ health care reform Town Hall meetings from “Corporate…mob rule” in recent days.”
“AFL-CIO President John Sweeney sent out a memo this week outlining a blue-print for union members to counter the campaign of fear and intimidation in which hired thugs are infiltrating health care town hall meetings to heckle, disrupt and even physically assault health care reform advocates.
Obama is getting his unions and fellow Communists to counter us. Bring it on.
The health insurance companies are bloodsuckers that need to have their every move regulated. They'll deny your claims whenever they like, raise your premiums outrageously year after year, and deny you coverage for any "pre-existing conditions". It can't get any worse than that no matter who is running the thing.
And if you're 65 or over, you're already getting solcialized health care, so sit down and shut the hell up.
CNN did a live poll last night. Here are the results on Obama’s first 200 days.
Not what they expected I am sure. I do not believe too many conservatives were watching CNN either.
ONLY 29% give Obama an A and 52% an D or F!!

WHO is being paid to organize?
Dear MoveOn member,
It’s getting ugly out there.
All across the country, right-wing extremists are disrupting congressional town-hall meetings with venomous attacks on President Obama’s plans for health care and clean energy.
We’ve got a plan to fight back against these radical right-wingers. We’ve hired skilled grassroots organizers who are working with thousands of local volunteers to show Congress that ordinary Americans continue to support President Obama’s agenda for change. And we’re building new online tools to track events across the country and make sure MoveOn members turn out at each one.
But we need to scale up our efforts quickly to make sure this plan works. To really swing into action during this month’s congressional recess, we need to raise at least $250,000 immediately. Can you chip in $15 to support our work?
Wow, guess you really struck some of his nerves…proves you are doing what you have every right to do and need to do for people who just don’t have the time or means to research these facts. He obviously doesn’t realize he can’t fight ‘the truth’ or change it with his words!!!
ITS WORKING AND WE ARE BEING HEARD!!!
KEEP UP THE PRESSURE.
Obama Open to Creation of Health Cooperatives
President Barack Obama may accept nonprofit health-insurance cooperatives in place of a new government-run plan as long as consumers are guaranteed more choice and competition in buying insurance, a top aide said.
“We would be interested in that” if those conditions are met, Nancy-Ann DeParle, director of the White House Office of Health Reform, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television’s “Conversations with Judy Woodruff” airing today.
Frankly, U are Courageous! Keep Your Offenses Up - you never know who or what is gonna coming gunning for traditional American values!
We are labeled and angry mob, but they conveniently forget how the Liberals act if they are unhappy about something. Here is a refresher for the Libs: Last November the Black Panthers, who are Obama supporters, it was even mentioned on Obama's website during the primaries but it was later taken down, were standing in front of a voting place in Philadelphia armed with clobs intimidating white people. What about all the noise the Code Pink crowd, the Cindy Sheehan crowd and the Hollywood types are and have been making.
They have to label us angry mobs and much worst because they ARE AFRAID we might succeed. Afraid the messiah wont get his way.
And I say "its about time people stepping up and fighting back" Lots of American people are FED UP!!!!! Both Republicans AND even some Democrats. The American people are not as stupid as Obama and company thinks we are.
As for Robert Gibbs, he needs to take a lesson from Tony Snow or go back to Journalism school, its painful!
S
Marcus,
MD health insurance is heavily regulated by the State Insurance Laws, as I am sure every state is, which they regulate any premium increases must be approved by them. They also mandate what benefits they need to offer. Did you know, that in MD, invitro fertilization is mandated as well as abortions. Medically necessary? What could insurance companies save if they didn't have to pay for non-medically mandated procedures?
I am a voter acting on my own who plans to attend town hall meetings to ask some very well tought out questions. You can call me an "angry mob" but a better label would be "VOTER"!
Got something to say?
