WH Disputes Pelosi Contention that Town Hall Protests are "Un-American"(Disinformation steams ahead)
Political Punch ^ | 8/10 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 08/10/2009 7:32:44 PM PDT by SeattleBruce

The White House disagreed this afternoon with the contention by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, that the disruptions at town hall meetings are "un-American," as the Democratic congressional leaders contended in a USA Today op-ed this morning.

"I think there's actually a pretty long tradition of people shouting at politicians in America," White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton told reporters on Air Force One when asked about the comments.

"The President thinks that if people want to come and have a spirited debate about health care, a real vigorous conversation about it, that's a part of the American tradition and he encourages that, because people do have questions and concerns ...And so if people want to come and have their concerns and their questions answered, the President thinks that's important.

So is Obama such a lightweight, that when he sees his side is going to lose, he’ll switch to the other side?

“And so if people want to come and have their concerns and
questions answered, the President thinks that’s important.”

OK, I have a concern and question: where were you born, Dear Leader and where’s your damned birth certificate?

Perhaps he’s saying “Bring it on?”

Maybe he want shouting that leads to violence. Putting his union thugs and his various “volunteer” groups on the front line then saying this makes me think he’s looking for a scrap- one he’s confident will turn out favorable to him.

Get the message out to liberals...  They've been LIED TO and USED by RICH DEMOCRAT LAWYERS WHO THINK THEY ARE STUPID!  They are being LIED TO so that their RICH LAWYERS they elect can get richer while they are being used to wreck America.  

Start playing the victim card with the left.  Start explaining to them how the media is using propaganda to support them being manipulated by the RICH DEMOCRAT LAWYERS in Congress.

This, as the left is reminded of the behavior of their Acorn/anarchist pals at the RNC in the Twin Cities last year.....

I’ve heard nor read anything about these townhalls that included bags and buckets of thrown feces and urine.

I’ve heard nor read anything about these townhalls that included sandbags being dropped from bridges to prevent attendance.

I’ve heard nor read anything about these townhalls that included molotav cocktails being constructed to burn police alive in their cars.

Don’t forget this one....

During the election, he told his supporters to confront those who did not support him:

Obama: “I want you to argue with them and get in their face!”

Since Pelosi and Reid’s approval ratings are in the dumpster, they were asked by Rahm Emanuel to take one for BO. By his magnanimous attitude toward the protesters, he hopes to pump up his own sagging polls. This is just a political game to them, as they play with the life and death issue of our health care. After all, they’ll still have their gold-plated Cadillac plan paid for by we tax drones.

Obama is the one that sent out the union goons to attack american citizens that don’t agree with his policies! Obama is the one operating a fascist tip line! Obama is the one telling our side to ‘shut up’. Obama is the one telling folks to ‘get in our faces’.

His internal numbers must be sinking like stones!

He is a marxist liar!
