DNC Attacks Those Who Disagree

Unbelievable! The DNC has just put out an ad as an obvious counterattack to protesters who have been showing up at various townhall meetings around the country lately. Unhappy with dissent, the DNC is taking to painting protesters as being part of a well-organized and funded "mob" as a feeble attempt by the RNC to regain control.



Boy, the Dems get vicious if anyone disagrees! You have some that want to paint those questioning ObamaCare as being "astroturf" rather than grassroots, such as the quintessential Obamatron Nancy Pelosi:



Then, Obamatron #2, Barbara Boxer, says that the protesters are "too well-dressed" to be authentic:



Notice how the Dems and the White House really are not counterattacking with substantive arguments, but rather are lashing out at opponents and, in typical mode, are resorting to playground ridicule and slander. FoxNews reports on how the Republicans are responding to these attacks (emphasis added):

"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."

Yesterday, I posted what you've probably seen by now on the news: that the White House's webpage now invites people to turn in anyone who is disseminating false information about ObamaCare. The words are: "If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov." (Go here to read more.)

This all reminds me that I need to go back and re-read George Orwell's "1984." Things are getting weirder by the minute!!! (Speaking of which, I found that you can download the entire movie from Google Video here. Or, you can click below and watch it through my blog.)
