Comments on: Mob Rule & Health Care Reform

By laying out those ground rules from the beginning, the tea party plans of rattling the speaker and getting him off script will fail (ignore the block head and resume the statement when they are done). Also, it inspires sympathy from the crowd. If itâ€™s clear that people shouting out opinions hurts everyone elseâ€™s ability to participate and receive information, then the tea baggers will look like the jerks they are.

Once again, the left projects its own tactics and goals onto its opponents – incorrectly.

The goal of these protestors is to vent their anger, because they feel nobody in the power elite has been listening to them. It isn’t so much a political goal as an emotional one.

They have nowhere else to turn, and they are angry and scared. They need to vent their anger at their “representatives” – they are not (and need not) be interested in what the representatives will “explain” about the health care bill – hell, it’s on the net for everyone to read. They want their representatives to know they are unhappy, so they are making their message clear.

If this intrudes on the usual boring propaganda event known as a town hall, tough beans.

reg continues to….ZZZZZZZZZZ….oops. Sorry. Since driveler snuck a tired comment between my two links, links that he’s not competent to engage with any depth or seriousness, (click the second for some excellent insights and info – the first was just for laughs) I guess it’s incumbent upon me to suggest that the misogyny reeking from Woody’s response might be the clue Oakwood was looking for.

Heres’s an excellent discussion of the realities – rather than the lies and hysterics – inherent in any discussion of rationing health care, from the Business Week website.

A breath of fresh air:

An self-proclaimed uninterested reg continues to show interest.

Oakwood, no time right now. I have to have some tax returns and financial information completed for a divorce hearing tomorrow. Wish me good luck on helping my client to beat his money-grubbing, soon-to-be ex-wife who didn’t mind spending the money that he earned but wants no part of the taxes due on that.

Woody, I’m curious (God knows why): why do you think Nancy Pelosi hates America? Please include definitions of “hate” and “America” in your response, just so I’m clear on what the terms mean to you.

I won’t bother with the driveler, but here’s a hilarious bit from one of his favorite “information sources.” Another window into the world of intellectually-challenged wingnuts that folks might get a kick out of:

reg, assuming that you meant us, John and I never cared about what you had to say, which has been nothing of substance and was based on ad hominem attacks.

I find it completely ironic that Nancy Pelosi, a leader of the “Hate America” crowd, says that ordinary citizens participating in public discussions are “un-American.”
