How To Fake A Protest: Right-Wing Media & Corporate Lobbyists Pretend To Be Grassroots
Since members of Congress have been returning home to their districts for the August recess, a consortium of industry-backed right-wing groups have been planning ambushes to harass Democrats for supporting health care reform.
The corporate lobbyists engineering these "grassroots" efforts have indicated their harassment strategy is to "yell," "stand up and shout," and "rattle" the members.

The people that used ANSWER and MOVEON.ORG and ACORN and UNION organizations to try to run a "grassroots" outfit are pissed and they want NEW RULES about what constitutes "grassroots".
The people that said "argue with people" and "Get in their faces" are now telling you that dissent is no longer patriotic and that while THEIR side shouts down and assualts people they don't like, suddenly daring to speak back to a Congressman is "scary" and a "mob".
The people led by a "community organizer" are pissed because OTHER communities have organized.
******* hypocrites of the first order.
Birther stan, this is a really lame excuse from you, get a grip.
These are staged,phony protests from the most ignorant Americans.

I guess you didn't know it ran out of money after 4 whole days....
My buddy is the Fleet Manger of a Ford dealer out here in Cali and its been disasterously unorganized. If they weren't fighting for every car sale these days he's saying that they'd think twice about even doing it. The paperwork and process are insane.
There is nothing wrong with critical thinking and asking our elected officials hard questions. I'm not sure where all the animosity is coming from just because elderly people go to town hall meetings.

how did cash for clunkers fail? I thought it did better than expected. Sometimes it seems people are against things just to be against something.

Where's my check?
No shit! I've been to a couple rallies myself. Where are my checks!
We are not rent-a-mob like ACORN and SEIU.
Amen, neighbor.
Collectivists require leadership to tell them what to do. They can't comprehend independence.

OH cry me a river libtards. You guys have used ACORN and other garbage organizations to harrass republicans for years. Dont dish it out if you cant take it. FINALLY republicans arent gonna take your crap anymore. Its time we remind these congressmen that have forgotten that they represent us, not the other way around. DOWN WITH OBAMA AND THE DONKEY HE RODE IN ON.
