The response from the White House about the citizens attending town halls, angry about threat of ObamaCare, is to call them "manufactured" while people in attendance say they have not been organized but appear at their own volition.

The people speaking out at the town hall meeting are reflecting the growing public doubts and unease about Obama and the Democrats program trying to force them into a medical system they don't want: the government running their health care program.
The White House is joined by that of the Democratic National Committee in dismissing the protesters against the "public option plan" for health care reform. However, it appears that the more people learn about it, the less they like it. "Just say no!" and "No, he can't" which was shouted by many at the town meetings, is beginning to catch on across the nation.

A Rasmussen poll in late July showed 53 percent opposing the Obama-backed plan. That is up from 45 percent opposed in June. In August, 48 percent of U.S. voters rated the U.S. health care system as good or excellent. The latest Rasmussen Reports shows that just 19% rate it as poor.
Some Democrats are aware that the protest could carry over to the 2010 election. After facing the protesters at a town meeting, Sen. Alan Specter of Pennsylvania, said that in spite of the commotion, he thought there were some individuals there with serious concerns and that
I wouldn't be surprised if that's the harbinger of things to come....as lawmaker face voters on the divisive issue of overhauling health care.

Do you live in a bubble of hate and ignorance? The town hall harrassments were not organic events. This was part of a scripted plan. We know this because they left their plans on the internet. Sad. Republicans don't even make good criminals.
HE IS TRYING TO FORCE US IN TO A PROGAM THAT HE WOULD NOT ENROLL HIS OWN FAMILY IN TO. IF HE WANTS US TO SIGN UP, THEN HAVE CONGRESS AND ALL WHITE HOUSE ADMINISTRATION HAVE THE SAME POLICY AS WE DO.
Bob their you go again PROJECTING YOUR OWN HATE AND IGNORANCE. Maybe you should try those LIEberal sites like the Daily Kos or The Huff, they would suit WEANERS like you better. Oh before you ask, a WEANER is someone who refuses to let go of obamacare despite all facts against it.
Bob, no more than the left has done.

Are these tactics solely the property of the leftists?
But then we had Obama saying this not very long ago.
""Argue With Neighbors, Get In Their Face"

Bob:
You have a very short memory. Don't you remember Barack Obama himself telling supporters to "get in their face", confront doubters, in short harass them? Please, go back to the DailyKos cesspool where you will feel more comfortable wallowing in the filthy ugliness of the far-left.
You will see that Barack Obama and the democrat party have awakened a sleeping giant, and don't like what they are seeing and hearing. Karma is a bitc*...
Bob, Re: "Do you live in a bubble of hate and ignorance?" Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
A sleeping giant? I doubt it.
The giant that controls the party of hate, fear and ignorance is the corporate puppetmaster. And you all seem to like being the little dancing puppet without an original thought in your empty little racist heads.
So, now you agree with Obama? If he said get in their face, now you want to get in "their" face?
Truth is, you have no idea why you do what you do or why you think the way you think. You have ingrained patterns of fear living inside yourself that manifest itself outward with hateful and meaningless rhetoric. You really don't like yourself.
You don't even know why you're against health care reform. You just know you're supposed to be against it because you've been told to be. You do what you're told to do. Very Un-American. Are you just "following orders"?
You're not conservative and you've stolen the name of Republican Party.
Bob, is it possible for you to argue the issue without name calling like a 7 year old?
It destroys your credibility.
This column is a "vent on issue", chock with rhetoric with no susbstance.
Obamacare, for example, is technically name calling, thusly creating the rule for same.
Know the game and how to play it.
The point of this cloumn's tirade was to refute the claim against the organized nature of the Town Hall rabble rousers. Though, as sly as they would like to believe they are, the organizers of the aforementioned left the directions to do so on their websites. Even Fox news reported and pundits confirmed. John Boehner as much admitted collusion.
And talk about short memories, at the summation of the column, it is stated that "Democrats have forgotten that the voice of the people can grow". Well, it seems that the voice of the people spoke in November of 2008. Ohh, that stung. Didn't?
The use of Rasmussen polling numbers only adds to the skewing. They are not known for their unbiased numbers.
And now the FASCIST Obama and his Brown Shirts are out in force using the full weight of the Federal government to come down on all dissenters.
THIS IS FASCISM FOLKS. THIS IS CHANGE you all voted for.
"Macon Phillips, who asked on an official White House blog for members of the public to forward questionable claims to the administration.
"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation," said Phillips.
"Since we can?t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we?re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov," said Philips."
Bob,
anytime anyone disagrees with conservatives, they are told they are "spewing hate"...so just pat a conservative on the head, say, "no your not crazy like everyone says" and back away while they rabidly bark and bark and bark.

how bout you take the "happy" out chor name there bubba
Bob. So what if they are organized. Is that somehow wrong? Are not ACORN and SEIU organized?
As for ObamaCare, it is HIS wishes for the overhaul that he has told Pelosi and Reid is it not?
This is HIS initiative not anyone elses.
walrus, how about you discuss the issue?
BS Zone says:
"walrus, how about you discuss the issue? "
which issue? the one about how Martha totally lies about the 86% happy with their healthcare? or the one where she lies about the thugs that are being bussed in to townhall meetings to totally disrupt the democratic process?
Bob:
What you are missing is that folks who are against Obama ramming his leftist agenda down America's throat are not just GOP or conservative voters. It would behoove you to check it out. This is an awakening among the so-called "independents" and working class and more conservative democrat voters. Check the numbers. We have them, your side does not, plus we have right on our side, and people, even previously misinformed Obama voters, are beginning to see that.
I know exactly why I am against Obamacare - it is a means to control the control the populace and create an invulnerable democrat party voting bloc. Further, I will wager I and my family have far, far more to lose than you do under Obama and his leftist agenda.
Disagreement and protest against Obama is racist and hatred? It was "patriotic" when you and your ilk aimed the worst vitriol and hatred at President GWB. Please, grow up.
Ole Wally "walrus" and Bullet "Bob" are a couple of WEANERS. Let go of that gubmint teat boys, and start becoming men. You're starting to sound like a couple of quakebuttocks.
So, you admit they are an organized group, with a specific agenda of disruption and not an organic representation of the sentiment of the people who wish to conduct civil discourse of a proposal?
And it's referred to as "Obamacare" only in a mean spirited fashion by the author and her ilk. That's name calling. Plain and simple.
Last, for now. The health care reform proposal has been created in order to level the playing field against the health insurance industry, whose sole concern is creating an escalating profit margin at the expense of services that it provides to it's members. In other words, Obama is fighting against the corporate bureaucracy of the health insurance industry that determines what doctor you can use and what services it will provide.
Choice is what Obama is trying to give to you. The current system is limiting your choice and handing you a bigger bill. Get the facts straight. Open your ears and think for yourself.
George W. Bush comes from a long line of war profiteers. He is Un-American. The no bid contracts awarded to Halliburton prove this out.
walrus, is THIS the way we should do it then?

Bob says: The no bid contracts awarded to Halliburton prove this out.
Name another company who could have done what Halliburton did in Iraq!
Bob: You are truly incorrigible...
Bob, I didn't admit they WERE organized, I jut asked what if!
I have been working with and for different people to organize to go to these meetings and have YET to be contacted, called, or sent any talking points or lists or signs by any "group".
Bob is a WEANER.
That's right. We'll never know. I thought part of the conservative platform was for business to be allowed to be competitive. Well, between 2000 and 2008 that ideal was never realized for the greatest government expenditure of the period. We'll never know who could have done it better or more efficiently. Because, Bush Co. & Friends saw an opportunity to profit from the war they created from wholecloth.
Can you not admit you were duped by individuals who stole your party?
the real left is running obama is shooting blanks and dont worry bob we on the right still are at the wall
Happy Indep...uh I mean BS Zone could you stick to one screen name please?
I have to laugh when I hear all these obamatards cry about the town hall protesters. These are the same people who elected a community agitator named obama. These are the disciples of that 60's loser Saul Alinsky, the same people who have systematically infiltrated our government, media, and financial institutions for the last 50-60 years, and have brought a decline in our quality of life with it.
