You have to love it. Washington comes up with costly, unpopular Health Care reform bills, and Americans are pissed off. They don’t like it. Some call it a simple state of fear. Others call it confusion — who can blame them when there’s five version in the House of Representatives? So what do Democrats do? Nancy Pelosi says you’re carrying swastikas. Like the CIA lied to Congress remark she made several months ago, she’s provided absolutely no proof. John Dingell compares protestors and anti-Health Care reformists to the KKK. Representative Brian Baird calls protestors “brown shirts”. He cowered away from holding a Town Hall meeting; opting for the opposition-silent conference call in which the Congressman will not be forced to answer questions he doesn’t want to answer (or more accurately, can’t answer if risking bribe donations from Democratic leaders muscling other Democrats to support the bill for an outside shot at re-erection) Pelosi calls protesters and the act of protesting unAmerican.
Madison County Democratic Party Chairman T. Robert Hill, a dope by all measures of common sense, wonders why he should apologize for calling Republicans “brown shirts”.
“I want to know where they get off telling me I should apologize for calling them ‘brown shirts’ and them calling my president Hitler and my congressmen Nazis,” Hill said. “Where’s the difference? … Where do they get off asking for an apology? Where do they get off asking anybody for an apology?”
I guess you could first point out that anyone using an initial as a first name, is an immediate assclown. But wondering the difference between Brown Shirts and Republicans? That’s just not a stretch, but it’s embarrassing negligence on one man’s intelligence and obvious ignorance to history.
So remember, if you appear at a Town Hall, speak your position against Health Care Reform as the Democrats see it. Be prepared, however, to be associated with Nazis, KKK and the mafia. It’s the Democrats we’re talking about. What are they going to do? Actually persuade us about Health Care reform or just throw out names because they can’t fend off a few pissed off people who likely voted for them?
President Obama attended a “town hall” this week, that was very clearly staged. The White House banned anyone that was against Reform, writes the Boston Globe:
As usual for such events, the White House controlled the distribution of the free tickets to get into the gym at Portsmouth High School. And, per usual, the Secret Service will take care of any unruliness.
This was the same event in which Obama said:
“I mean, if you think about it, UPS and FedEx are doing just fine, right? No, they are. It’s the post office that’s always having problems.”
Obama just tried persuade you that privately-run companies are much better than government-run organizations. This is what happens when we fall of the teleprompter wagon. This is also what happens when we momentarily lapse into a coma of common sense.

One television anchor said that Socialism is the new N word.
Today I want to talk about a word that we’re hearing more and more, and that’s the word socialist. You hear it from a lot of conservatives these days, that’s usually critiquing the President, or more broadly Democrats. And while that’s certainly a legitimate critique, there certainly is an ideology that can and should be critiqued at certain times, it also some times is just a kind of a generic conservative bludgeoning tool. And that’s alright, too, because you hear it on the Democratic side as well: rightwingnut, what have you.
But what concerns me is when in some of those town hall meetings including the one that we saw in Missouri recently where there were jokes made about lynching, etc., you start to wonder whether in fact the word socialist is becoming a code word, whether or not socialist is becoming the new N-word for frankly for some angry upset birthers and others. I hope that’s not the case, but it sure does say to you what David Brooks said the other day on T.V. which is that more credible conservatives have to stand up and say that there’s a line that has to be drawn, that there’s a line of responsibility that’s important, and that extends to the words that we choose including how choose even legitimate words like socialist.
You have the creative intellect of a bull frog in heat, sir.
