Grassroots or Astroturf?

Here is a link to the real story (with many great pictures) of what happened when Nancy Pelosi went to Denver on Thursday, August 6th to visit the Stout Street Clinic. About 200 pro-freedom, anti-Obamacare protestors showed up with home-made signs. About 40 supporters of the dastardly plan came to counter-protest. Most of their signs were printed. They had bullhorns. One Obamacare supporter said that folks on their side had to leave because their bus was waiting to take them all to another event.

Which group do you think is organized by outside interests?

Mark Steyn writes about the right kind and the wrong kind of community organizing. He explains the "right" kind of organizing.

"Obama’s a community organizer. We’re the community. He organizes us. What part of that don’t you get?"

Maybe this is what they are planning to do with all of us rabble rousers. Just what is a "resettlement" specialist anyway?

  2. My husband said that an internment/resettlement specialist is a prison guard. Why do we need all of a sudden so many prison guards from the National Guard ranks?

  3. You know Mark if this isn't Nazi propaganda by the Democrats than what is. Ooops I associated the Democrats with Nazis and the press says that's a bad thing since Nancy stated that the Republicans came with Nazi Swastikas and such. Yeah right and she's from California where the only thing that comes from there are Nuts, Fruits and Marijuana which by the way is prescribed for just about any ailment from a licensed California Doctor. Of course licensed Doctors in California never misdiagnose and prescribe illegal drugs....ahem Michael Jackson come to mind? Yes his "good Doctor" hailed from Nevada but he practised in California. Obama is just one scary "dude" whose Socialist agenda will not work here in the good ole U.S of A! I'm sure his liberal, socialist friends and mentors would care to disagree. I digress but a good post Mark, keep them coming Glen Beck and the rest of us are counting on people like you to keep watch. God Bless you Mark! Bob C.....

  4. well, I looked at the pics and of course I agree with them. What saddened me was the picture of the men holding up placards with personal stories (obviously pro-obamacare) and the snide commentary of the blogger that nobody could read them. I am so saddened by the squandering of a real reform effort by the Democrats. I am also disgusted with the Republicans who squandered their chances to create better reform for those who either can't afford insurance or who are locked out by pre-existing conditions. This is so unnecessary. As a nurse I have seen many hard luck cases which could break your heart. Many people just need a break. Why can't we elect people to do something productive for our country? Will it ever really change? Hopefully we will dodge this bullet, but if the Repub's get back in office will they squander it again?
