When so many con bloggers are posting these videos and gloating, there's a reason.<br /><br />No, perhaps Bob there isn't the ringleader, or even a major player, but his memo--and more importantly, the behavior we're seeing at these town halls--is still more than a little troubling.<br /><br />And before anyone responds about my stifling dissent; shit no, I love dissent. But one can dissent without turning the meetings into shoutfests, and making it impossible to continue. One can dissent with respect for the elected reps on stage (as people, anyway) and for one's fellow citizens. Everyone has the right to hear and be heard, even the folks who disagree with you. <br /><br />No one has the right to stop the speaker from speaking until the clock runs out, or otherwise make it impossible for others to ask their questions/make their statements--for or against--and hear the response, too. No one should be hounded by a mob all the way to their car.<br /><br />Bob's memo isn't the smoking gun; the carbon copy behavior tells the real tale.<br /><br />As far as reporting you, it depends... Are you attacking it with truth, or are you just makin' shit up, like the forced termination of old folks that is voluntary living will counseling? (There's certainly legitimate gripes one can have about the bills, but forced sex-changes are not among them, y'know...)<br /><br /> If the story's fantastical enough, I'll be glad to "rat you out." (so that the stupidest falsehoods--& the media folks & other "experts" pushing 'em, I hope-can be exposed for the dumb shit they are...)repsac3https://www.blogger.com/profile/15458282944035344707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835778370448164083.post-56886849743560140452009-08-06T17:16:39.723-04:002009-08-06T17:16:39.723-04:00Ah, Bob MacGuffie.

Even checked out his sites on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=98691129921&ref=search" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a> (108 members) and <a href="http://twitter.com/rightprinciples" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a> (45 followers). And that was <b>after</b> being mentioned on talk radio today (prior quoted numbers were 23 members, 5 followers). It's entertaining, but if this is the best the Left can come up with as an "enemy" of government health care, they're desperate.<br /><br />But stick to the talking points <a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2009/08/think_progress_msnbc_manufactu.asp" rel="nofollow">no matter how ginned up it may be</a>.<br /><br />Also, as I'm one of these people attacking health care "reform", could you let the White House know? flag@whitehouse.govPatrick Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16377933168305160179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835778370448164083.post-11330886928595807882009-08-05T16:45:29.139-04:002009-08-05T16:45:29.139-04:00My premise is that these jokers think they're ...My premise is that these jokers think they're going to be rewarded by those that sent them. They're not. In the end, the joke will be on the chump carrying the sign that says socialist or some bull sh!t like that. This guy/gal is probably some working stiff that got an earful of propaganda from the boss and decided to show him what a good, America loving employee he is. This same idiot voted against union representation. When his employer shuts off the health insurance, and we have a good blogger friend who's husband went through this so I'm not making this shit up, he will wonder why the boss is being such an asshole after all he did.Joe "Truth 101" Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875151516978133598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835778370448164083.post-69412429881236235792009-08-04T19:45:51.315-04:002009-08-04T19:45:51.315-04:00I don't know...

I ...I'm a self admitted political hack Repsac. I also agree with the late Mayor Daley who said "If they don't like it, they can kiss my ass."<br /><br /> What the fools schilling for the anti health care lobby don't get is there is nothing in it for them. They can get a bunch of idiots together and have them convinced no health insurance is better for them. This hows their stupidity. Then to firther prove how ignorant they are, for a lunch of hot dogs, chips and kool-aid at a local park, these fools go to a serious health care symposium and shout down the very people who are working to make their lives better.<br /><br /><br /> The rich and powerful don't do the dirty work. They get deluded fools that think they will get something for being deluded followers. In the end, the little guy once again gets the shaft. And in the case of the chumps that are raisnig hell at town hall meetings, it is they themselves that are pushing the shaft deeper and deeper into their own asses.Joe "Truth 101" Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875151516978133598noreply@blogger.com
