Not only is Pelosi lying when she says protesters are bringing swastikas to these town halls, not only is she suggesting that American citizens are Nazis for having the effrontery to get in the way of Obamacare, but she's also saying that the alleged swastikas are obvious proof that these protests are manufactured by slick P.R. gurus.
Meanwhile, Sen. Barbara Boxer insists the protests have to be fake because the protesters are too "well-dressed." Likewise, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says this is all "manufactured anger" because the protesters - he calls them the "Brooks Brothers Brigade" - are too tastefully appointed to be authentic protesters. Apparently only filthy hippies can petition government.
The DNC has put out an ad claiming that the "right-wing extremist base" is out to "destroy" Barack Obama, so it has unleashed "angry mobs . . . mob activity straight from the playbook of high-level Republican political operatives. They have no plan for moving our country forward, so they've called out the mob."
But wait: It gets better. As of this writing, the entire BarackObama.com site was dedicated to "Organizing for America," with a special page dedicated to "Organizing for Health Care," where supporters are asked to flood town halls and "make certain your members of Congress know that you're counting on them to act."

The best part:
“How does that work? What public-relations genius says: “Okay, we need these protests to seem like an authentic backlash of real Americans. Make sure everyone has enough Nazi paraphernalia!”
Lawyers, guns and money. This would cover #1 and #3.
In the 90s the Clintons claimed that people like us who listened to Rush were “mind-numbed robots.”
Orwellian.
Ping!!!
same playbook they used in 1939
To all:
I drove 200 miles through a blue state, and saw ONE bumper sticker supporting Obama, but ZERO voicing any personal viewpoint (except my own). Occasional flags, Marine and NRA stickers don’t count.
What is it with people, that they cannot create a tasteful, non-inflammatory message and glue-stick it to their rear window? Something like, “Please Help Defeat Obama’s Nationalized Health Care Plan.”
Please get with it; democracy is not a spectator sport.
I like the comment about the protesters being “too well dressed”.
Hey Democrat-Communists, maybe something has never occured to you. MOST OF US WORK FOR A LIVING! Do you understand the concept of work? Do you understand the necessity to bath, shave, and otherwise be somewhat presentable? Do you have a grasp of the fact that we pay taxes which in turn pay YOU? And you have the nerve to call the people, your bosses, the ones who pay YOUR SALARY stupid. How rude of me to point out your arrogance.
Democrats delenda est!
The lib reaction is right out of the same playbook they’ve used for years - slander, lie, humiliate, and bully.
The Left always accuses its opponents of what the LEft itself is doing.
“The lib reaction is right out of the same playbook theyâve used for years - slander, lie, humiliate, and bully.”
I’d llike to know what happened to the liberal mantra during the BUsh years that “dissent is the highest form of patriotism” — apparently that is only true when they are dissenting, when the American people dissent, they are “Nazis” and “an angry mob”.
Thanks for the ping!
Jonah Goldberg is calling them on it!
Whatever became of “Baghdad Bob.”
He endeared himself to millions of Americans.
I hope they didn’t hang him.
Please join the “You’re Fired” Campaign putting politicians in office on notice. The American people have been betrayed. Arrogant Elitist Politicians care about nothing but personal power. Please read the details of this campaign and forward this to your email address book. Print it out and hand it to your neighbors and friends. Our country and our freedom are at stake as well as your children and grandchildren’s futures. If you do nothing else, forward this to everyone and forward it to your elected Elitist. Time to clean out the Congress and start over with patriotic Americans with integrity that love this country more than their own personal power.
