The rule: “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism” unless it’s practiced by Republicans!

Remember when Obama told his supporters that they had to “get in [our] face?”

Millions of dollars in union dues have gone to fund an army of paid supporters to promote Obama’s never ending campaign to socialize as much of American life as he can. ACORN and union activists bus in handicapped persons to be used as props at health care forums hosted by Democrats. But when tea partiers spontaneously rise in righteous anger and demand to have their voices heard Democrats attack.

The Democrat National Committee calls us “mobs of extremists” for daring to oppose plans to destroy America’s health care system as we know it. In a similar vein Democrats across the country are now deriding the natural anger they see when confronted by constituents at home. One liberal blogger went so far as to call our activities “civic vigilanteism.” Some of this is laughable; like the idiot Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) who suggested that the protesters were too “well dressed” to be sincere.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs suggests the protests are “manufactured anger” and a Brooks Brothers Brigade.” But when asked about the enormous and well funded White House effort to mobilize support for the health care power grab he simply repeated his attack on the protesters.

White House Astroturf Campaign Ramps Up

Vice President Biden, speaks today at a rally organized by “Organizers for America”, an Obama campaign group, many of whom are paid, which urged it’s workers to show up and counter “organized mobs” of conservatives.

It’s the tip of a very large iceberg. Nancy Pelosi sent congressional Democrats home with a memo letting them know that help is on the way:

The Leadership is working in close coordination with the White House and outside groups (including but not limited to HCAN, Families USA, AFSCME, SEIU, AARP, etc.) to ensure complementary efforts during August.

Funding for these efforts is estimated to be tens of millions of dollars. All of it coming from the same liberal big money/George Soros nexus that was responsible for creating the current fiction that is Obama.

But all that is being eclipsed by the outpouring of citizen anger we see so clearly on display at Town Hall forums across the country.

Tea Parties in Action: Citizen Democracy At Work!

The Tea Parties started as spontaneous groups of likeminded citizens coming together to oppose Obama’s socialist makeover. At first it wasn’t clear how these independent gatherings with no outside financial support or coordination could have an impact. But as tea partiers have taken to Town Hall forums to denounce the destruction of the U.S. health care system their voice is being heard.

The video which best sums up the argument against Obama Care is from Sunday’s Town Hall in Philadelphia, where Benedict Arlen Specter (DEMOCRAT-PA) and Kathleen Sibelius, Obama’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, were forced to confront this truth:

This scene is being repeated across the country. Monday night in Green Bay Wisconsin, hundreds were turned away from a “Listening Session” with Congressman Steve Kagen (D-WI. These are not paid supporters being bussed to the event. These are voters and tax payers:

Obama’s hired goon squads are being outnumbered by REAL AMERICANS. That’s hope and change I can believe in!

So I suppose we will see more Black Panther “security” workers at these Townhall meetings, like the charming three who adorned the Philly polling place last year? I CAN’T WAIT!!!

Mike, this is a great post. But what struck me about the way the White House is dealing with it is the comparison between class and crass. The Conservative.Com… had some information about this. Notice the way adults handle dissent:

White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer on Anti-war protesters:
I think the president welcomes the fact that we are a democracy and people in the United States, unlike Iraq, are free to protest and to make their case known,”

White House Press Secretary Trent Duffy on anti-war protests:
The American people have a right to protest, and the right of free speech is something that we’re fighting for in this war on terror, to preserve that right of free speech. So the President welcomes opinions from all Americans.

and the way the children handle it:

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on health care protests:
“I hope people will take a jaundiced eye to what is clearly the Astroturf nature of grass-roots lobbying,” said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs during a morning off-camera session in his office with reporters.
“This is manufactured anger,” he said.

@Aqua: Thanks for sharing that contrast. It’s abundantly clear that the Obama White House views everything through a harsh partisan prism. That’s why I have said he is not President of the United States, he’s the President of the left.

I guess now when there’s any disagreement with O’s policies, it’ll be automatically labelled “astroturf” in nature. All manufactured. Just like the tea parties were all manufactured, eh? Right.

p.s. Mike, this is off topic, but wanted to say sorry I didn’t get my essay in soon enough. I was starting to work on it, but didn’t realize I would miss the deadline. I promised you I’d get one done, so maybe it’s yet to come.

@Mike’s America:

This White House reminds me of a cheating husband, because he cheats, he suspects that everyone does. How many left wing blogs are carrying the water(astroturfing) for this administration? What about the meetings Rahmbo conducts with Media Matters, Daily Kos, etc every morning?

Remember the posters that are paid per post to infiltrate conservative blog sites with their drival? I think some of them showed up here during the campaign and again during the run up to the auto bailout last spring.

What about the Code Pinkos showing up to intimidate Condi Rice during Congressional testimony with fake blood on their hands. Who gave the idiots their tickets to get in? Like they expected them to sit quietly and listen?

Hey Mike, apparently due to an “over zealous staffer” wink, wink, AARP was mistakenly included in Pelosi’s statement. I doubt it has anything to do with all the seniors dumping them due to AARP’s past support of Obamascare.
