White House to Dems on town halls: “If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard”
posted at 6:39 pm on August 6, 2009 by Allahpundit
Let me remind you again: They can pass any bill they want any time they want. Conservatives can scream their heads off at these things and there’s not an ounce of good it’ll do if Democrats are united. This whole partisan “war” Obama and Axelrod have concocted is kabuki theater against an enemy they’ve already (momentarily) defeated; it’s the Blue Dogs’ fear that they’ll be thrown out of office if they vote for this travesty that’s put the left in the predicament they’re in. The cowardice they’re showing in not wanting to face their constituents is actually obscuring the deeper cowardice of the the party stalling on a landmark bill they finally have the numbers to pass for no better reason than that doing so will jeopardize their hold on power next year. They want ObamaCare and they want their permanent majority, and if the only way they can get both is by calling conservatives Nazis then that’s what they’re a-gonna do.
Top White House aides gave Senate Democrats a recess battle plan on Thursday, arming the lawmakers with tips for avoiding disastrous town hall meetings while showing them polling on popular aspects of the reform effort…
They showed video clips of the confrontational town halls that have dominated the media coverage, and told senators to do more prep work than usual for their public meetings by making sure their own supporters turn out, senators and aides said.
And they screened TV ads and reviewed the various campaigns by critics of the Democratic plan.
“If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard,” Messina said, according to an official who attended the meeting…
“They are just helping us understand the fringe that is trying to mess up our meetings,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
What does Reid mean by “fringe”? It’s come to this:
Instead of appearing in person, where “extremists” would have “the chance to shout and make YouTube videos,” Baird said Wednesday, he’s holding what he calls “telephone town halls” instead.
Baird said he’s using the new system because he fears his political opponents may be planning “an ambush” to disrupt his meetings, using methods Baird compared to Nazism.
“What we’re seeing right now is close to Brown Shirt tactics,” Baird, D-Vancouver, said in a phone interview. “I mean that very seriously.”…
Pam Benson of Larch Mountain, 62, said she realizes Baird disagrees with her on health care reform…
“He’s supposed to be our representative,” said Benson, a purchasing manager for Portland Cascade Architecture and Engineering in Portland. “He’s supposed to listen to us, whether he’s on our side or not.”…
“We are not nut cases that disagree with this issue,” she said. “There are a lot of very well-informed people that are against this health care thing.”
Luckily she won’t have a chance to face down Baird and then be “punched back twice as hard.” Exit quotation: “Despite the legitimacy of the public’s concern, demonizing democracy has become pretty common these days for the left… By dismissing the anger of conservatives, moderates, libertarians, conservative democrats and independents the administration looks out of touch and appallingly arrogant. In fact, it will hurt them even more because Obama promised to listen to the concerns of the citizens, not operate with a tin ear.”

Kind of funny isn’t it. Up through 2006, the Dems were always screaming about how the Republicans needed to “listen to the minority and work with them”. Now that they are the majority? Not so much.

How amazing is it that the guy who told his supporters to verbally assualt people, the guy who’s supporters attacked old ladies in NYC, the guy who grew up with a passion for trying to cause civil unrest, is trying to call these people Brown Shirts.
Wasn’t it Obama who said he wanted to start a civilian protection service? Wonder what color they’d wear? Guess they could just wear their Black Panther uniforms.

Those 0bamanations are making a big mistake. They are pulling this crap too soon. They may have consolidated enough power in Washington, The college campii, the union halls and in places like Chicago and Detroit.
But out here in ‘flyover’ country, we don’t much cotton to such tactics, and push comes to shove, we will shove a lot harder than they can push.
And if 0bama thinks he can ignore Posse Comitatus and sic the army on us, he might find out, to his dismay, that 95% of the will side with us.
He really should have waited a year or two more and gotten his 0bama National Civilian Security Force organized and trained and armed before pulling this crap.

I don’t understand why the majority of Democrats in Congress, governors and state legislators aren’t backing away from this crew as fast as possible?
I would expect sane people from either party to denounce what’s going on regardless of who’s president and which party is in power.
These Dems are digging a deep hole for this country and they better start thinking of how to dig us out.

Mr. hope and change has got Americans fighting each other in the streets over his socialist policies.
What a disaster this President is turning out to be so quickly.
Who is the genius in Obama’s administration that has it’s leadership calling out for their special interest groups to punch back and get in people’s faces.
Who is the genius that thinks Americans being attacked and having their free speech shut down for wanting answers to how THEIR money is being spent is going to reflect well on the leadership on the Hill.
The White House has seriously underestimated the will of the American people.
We will not back down.
We are not Chicago

The brown shirts were tasked with preventing any opposition to their political ideas from being expressed in meetings and press. The Democrats are actively trying to prevent any opposition to their political ideas from being expressed at meetings and press. Who are the “brown shirts” ? How are the people who go to the meetings anything like the brown shirts? They are not there preventing a political discussion. They are asking for one with honest answers and discussions. What they are finding is a one sided discussion that has nothing to do with their concerns, and they are angry, and rightfully so. In democratic discussions both sides are considered. In socialistic discussions, only the ruling side needs to be discussed so that the people will understand what is expected of them. In this case it is more important than anything thing else the Obama administration has to do; more important than the economy, the national debt, the crippling of our industry, or what it purports to be; nationalized one payer, one provider health care. What is at stake is the New Party Democratic goal of establishing the foundation for socialism.
Franklyn on August 7, 2009 at 4:56 AM
That’s exactly what a lot of people who supported and voted for Barry are asking themselves now. The ones too busy to pay too much attention until election time and are now having a bit of buyers remorse. I’m starting to hear about a lot of them now (most are my friends parents in MN). Makes me want to tear my hair out, but better late than never. The Democrats are going to go too far very soon. Just wait. People are paying attention now.

Over at Politico, someone posted that a lot of people the the person knew were either disappointed or feeling out right foolish for voting for him.
What’s going to happen?
I can’t believe how stupid the democrats and the WH is for acting like this in the face of these protestors.
I’ve thought for a few years that the dem party was taking stupid pills but this is having stupidity injected IV style.
These people just don’t know how to handle dissent.
I don’t think this will end well either. The admins thug-like attitude will only inflame the people. Wait till 10% hits; it’s like a black cloud on the horizon.
Chicago style politics on national display.
B Man on August 7, 2009 at 6:22 AM
It is interesting to see the lefties try to justify this behavior. They do try you know. They say that the right demonized them so yada yada blah blah….but the truth is they are demonizing their own people. Rush Limbaugh could not stop this thing if he tried.
And by the way, if Bush had used this kind of language to describe citizens who did not support his policies, these same hypocrites would have been demanding impeachment and public apologies.
Terrye on August 7, 2009 at 7:13 AM
It’s just common knowledge that the left has utter contempt for anyone they disagree with.
Everyone knows that. Even a political people. This just takes that to an extreme. A total desire to SHUT THEM UP And make what the protestors are saying seem stupid and racist.
I’ve been watching msnbc a little more lately and Lawrance O donnell looked like his head was about to blow up the other day.
These “smart” people, right…they just don’t know how to handle people that disagree with them.
Of course they try to justify their behavior. In their minds what they are doing is absolutely right.
I mean, the seniors are terrified that their medicare is going away under Obama’s future plan that will be in congress. I don’t know the specifics but even if the seniors are WRONG, the admins and DNC attitude towards them is insane.
We have a gov’t run by douchebags and a-holes.
B Man on August 7, 2009 at 7:25 AM
From Thomas Paine and the Rights of Man.
Hence, by simply standing up and being heard back in the late 1700′s, Patriots sent a shock to despots around the world. Today, like yesterday, we are sending a shock somewhere, and that somewhere is in Washington DC.
Continue to stand–for this is a continuation of what began back then. It is in our blood, it is in our history, it is clearly demarcated in our Declaration and our Constitution. Liberty has been bought and paid for before, and the debt to it continues–yet, it’s a debt worth paying.

This is a battle they can’t win…they have no idea.
As support for Obama diminishes, it will be basically paid union thugs, and the black community that rally around him.
These tensions will rise…and the other day, one of the opening posters stated…”There will be blood”.
Was exactly right, unfortunately the blood will be from polices created by a man who said he was a “uniter”.
The fight has begun, and in these kind of fights, the government never wins, bureaucrats never win, thugs never win.

The only thing that will affect the outcome of this vote is the real fear that passing this will cost the politicians their seat in the House or Senate. They must be made to fear for their phony-baloney jobs or they will knuckle under to the Chicago thugs. Right now, they fear Obama and his henchmen more than they fear us.
Some of you think they only need to respect our opinion.
Bullsh’t! I want them to wet themselves when they see an angry throng of voters ready to rudely toss them out on their a$$es. I want them to know, deep down in their shriveled psyches, that they are finished if they piss us off this time. Like the sailor said: “Break out the spinach, Olive. It’s all I can stands cuz I can’t stands no more.”

I do not understand the drive of this President. He wants to push through enough programs to bankrupt this country. He tells his followers to get violent with people who dissent. From my opinion Our Community Organizer in Chief is more divisive than anyone ever anticipated. It appears there is a much more concerted effort to transform America than just socializing medicine and running us bankrupt. I fear we have not seen anything yet.
Guest1.1 on August 7, 2009 at 9:16 AM
What more proof does any one need than what’s being displayed now by the Obama Mafioso, that they will do things their way regardless of what We the People want.
At this point in this conflict, the only thing missing is battered citizens and dead citizens that dare to confront these commies. And with the orchestrated efforts of the main stream media pouring out the propaganda for them, the U. S. looks more like Georgia than the United States of America.
Maybe those Russian subs are just confused by the politics, censure, propaganda, and lies taking place here on a daily basis. Looks like Georgia getting rowdy again.

Daggett on August 7, 2009 at 9:48 AM
I understand what drives him.
Consider a short examination of academia. Recently, a kid from Oregon noted that only 1-2 professors out of 100+ were Republicans. Those same statistics were echoed by emailers from various universities all over the country to The Factor, with Oreilly.
Why is this? It is because over and over again–in urban areas, in academia, in the media and now in government–the statist liberal left has pushed and pushed to create an increasingly hostile and inhospitable environment for people like you and me. It’s discriminatory, it’s unAmerican.
The question is, where do we go once America looks like Berkeley, like Cambridge, like DC, and Chicago?
The answer is nowhere, we no longer surrender ground. We have to see the battlefield differently. We have to win at every level. Local government, media, academia, public education and elsewhere. It shall be only then, when they are defeated in the arena of ideas, that we will, once again, reclaim this country of our Founders. My friends, this is the calling of our time–for this has been a gathering storm and the lines are being drawn.
Develop your ideas, develop your voice, use a strong voice of rhetoric and persuasion–for those are the most powerful weapons in this fight.
Know thine enemy but first, read Ephesians 6:10-20.
regards.
ted c on August 7, 2009 at 9:52 AM
It’s unfortunate that the townhall protests have gotten so far out of hand. This could have been an easy deal for the conservatives. The fact is that Congress knows pretty much where their own constituents stand. People e-mail, call, etc., in opinions. District organizers pass along the “word,” so to speak.
Turning it into angry mobs DOES make it appear to be out the fringe elements rather than about a very tough call for even some of the Dem congressmen. How will they vote? What price will have to be paid to vote with reform?
I agree. The theatrical aspects now make this easier. It may even provide cover for some Dem moderates to back reform.

I was looking at it as a “push through my agenda fast and no one will notice my Socialist agenda” scenario. After this last episode of inciting Americans to attack other Americans, I can see the following around the corner, Curfews, Rationing, Re-education camps. Entire communities being deprived of utilities and supplies until they “Toe the line” Health care and medication for followers first and the rest gets the leftovers (For a Price$$$) mandatory sterilization for non-believers.
You will see headlines from CNN and MSNBC that states unemployment has been cut by 50%. What you will not see is that the non believers will not be included in the calculations. They will not be “Employable” and so there fore are excluded. Social reform will continue, If you work you are entitled to Food, Medicine, clothing. Housing will be available for the believers. The non believers will have their homes condemned and destroyed. The Constitution will be re-written as the administration sees fit. The Judiciary will be the first to go to be replaced by executive office Tribunals.
The only ammunition manufactured will be for the government’s use. Guns and Ammunition will be illegal for the citizenry and possession of such will be grounds for immediate execution.
Then we will wake up and find out all is well, it will take a while before anyone notices the Hammer and Sickle in the space where we used to have 50 stars.

Navy Dad on August 7, 2009 at 10:48 AM
I believe that if Congress passes the health care bill, bills, or any kind of hybrid formulated in conference, then the republic is at risk. As soon as this nation started taking from one group of people and giving their earnings to others, then it was put on course for rebellion. I’ll not draw any lame parallels to history because I don’t know if there are any others.
What worries me is that the division within the republic will not be as easily definable as it was in our misnamed Civil War, which was a regional dispute. The potential divide in the United States at this time is ill-defined and completely ideological.
It could be ugly.
I have no desire to live in a socialist state, and the left can cry all they want about how their progressives and not socialists. They can deny the truth, but they are truly socialists.
Being a Southerner I’m not entirely uncomfortable with secession, but that accomplishes nothing. It’s not regional.
I’ll watch the vote in Congress very closely. I don’t have to protest my Congressman, he is vehemently opposed to socialized medicine or any kind of government takeover of health insurance or medical treatment.
He better vote against it in any form it may take.
Conservatives better be ready for incrementalism when these cowards return to Washington.
Keep them scared.

My representative, Dennis Kucinich, had a radio town hall. After listening to it for about an hour, I wondered who was my actual representative, him or his wife.
He often would take a call, then respond without letting the person comment on what he said. To his credit a few times he got into a good debate with a few opposing callers.
I couldn’t believe it when his wife said that if she had the choice between the healthcare that a Congressman and his family gets and the UK healthcare, she’d take the UK. Ridiculous.
ConDem on August 7, 2009 at 10:58 AM
Ask her the same question once she gets sick or injured and need it. People don’t make decisions about health care until they really have to–on the margin. It is just a known entity, it is supposed to be there, it has to be there, and i’ll make a decision about it only if I need it. Until that time comes, their stupid disinterest like this boob arm candy wife is really meaningless.

Hey Obama, why don’t you get your chicken shit ass out to town hall meetings without your Union thugs and cronies from the chicago Mob. You’ll see the real love America has for you. GET some skin in the game stinky.

Obama’s very whiny, isn’t he.
He’ll be able to work across the aisle. But only if they stop talking and get out of the way.

I heard a Democrat (not sure who) (Senator or Congress person) complain last night about the evil insurance companies earning 80 billion dollars. Lets see health care industry is 17 percent of the economy, so liberal democrats think that a 3 percent profit margin is too much? That is what 80 billion is out of a 2.5 trillion dollar business.

Remember when the Army shows up to disperse the protest.
DO NOT CURSE THEM!
Call to them as brother and sisters. “American solders. Remember your oath, protect the constitution.”

When will we get to this point? Or are we already there?
[quote]That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.[/quote]
They were “hired” to represent us.
Yet, they ignore us…They betray our trust…They believe THEY are in control and we are here to serve them…and now they are not fulfilling their constitutional duties, and representing us in the manner they should.
