It is said that the people are revolting.

You said it! They stink on ice!

That pretty much sums up the attitude of the Kossacks at the Daily Kos. However, unlike the Mel Brooks version of King Louis XVI in "History of the World: Part I," the Kossacks are fearful, deeply fearful, of the people. They are worried that the Tea Party protesters who show up at the town hall meetings conducted by members of Congress might derail Obamacare due to the large turnouts and vehemence of their protests as you can see in this thread posted by Kossack icebergslim:

Sure, it is a bunch of nuts or really UNINFORMED constituents who are buying into the argument of the NON-ARGUMENT of the Republican Party for health care reform.

The Obama White House needs to get out of the bubble and get real here. We all know that the lobbyists and insurance companies are ARMED TO THE NINES to defeat any health care reform, UNLESS THEY WRITE IT. Since they can not WRITE IT, they will destroy it. Simple as that.

Why is this dangerous?

These folks are ON TELEVISION, getting eyeballs, and making traction. Worried yet? Sure, it may be just a few, but a few can rollerball into many. The Democrats have not sold the health care reform argument because there is no f---ing bill by them. Are we shooting the bullets into our feet yet?

The people are revolting! And that has the KOmmies worried.

A conspiracy theory about fraud.

The Healthers need to be ridiculed in the media. They make the Democrat party look stupid.

[PJ-Comix]

PING!

what do you mean look stupid.

They are called DUMS for a reason.

. . . Claim Protesters Are Paid Agitators

WHAT? We're PAID agitators? Hold on--if we're paid agitators, where's my check? So far nobody has paid me! ;-)

KKKosters are so entertaining. These guys have no grasp of reality and live in a fantasy world.

[freeangel]

“protestors are paid”

They must be mixing up those who can think and reason for themselves with the ACORN people who are bussed in to harrass people.

Worried yet? Sure, it may be just a few, but a few can rollerball into many.

I can understand why they are afraid of rollerball.

Methinks the KOS Kids are projecting.

I got my check from BushCheneyHaliburtonPalin last year and one from the KATRINA project. Didn’t get one from the 9/11 exercise.

“The Healthers need to be ridiculed in the media. They make the Democrat party look stupid.”

As if the Dems need any help in this regard...

ARMED TO THE NINES

I'm familiar with the long used phrases, "dressed to the nines" and "armed to the teeth", but what does "armed to the nines" mean?

LOL at icebergslim.

"Protesters Are Paid Agitators Or Lobbyists"

That is the definition of ACORN... paid with your tax dollars.

[a fool in paradise]

I didn’t get my check yet. Karl Rove must’ve been busy with his weather making machine again yesterday causing earthquakes.

[reagan_fanatic]

The Kommies just can't wrap their stunted little minds around the fact that this is a genuine anger brought on as a direct result of Obama’s disastrous policies.

We don't need to be paid or hired - we're more than happy to do it to show that there are still people left in this country who love it and are willing to stand up for it.

[a fool in paradise]

The Left can’t believe that American born taxpayers are “down with the struggle”.

We are bitter and cling to their earnings.

Outside agitators? Where have we heard this before? Shame on the Daily Kos. Someone needs to send them a copy of "Letter from a Birmingham Jail."


Charlton Heston (Conservative “Outside Agitator”)
"Letter from a Birmingham Jail"
“…I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. Just as the prophets of the eighth century B.C. left their villages and carried their "thus saith the Lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns, and just as the Apostle Paul left his village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greco Roman world, so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid. Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds…

In the future there will be no health care. There will only be Rollerball.
