We've already seen them attacking ordinary Americans that show up at town hall meetings and TEA Party rallies. They go after someone for having a muddled message or for attacking big government while receiving social security.
Participating in a coerced system where you have no choice is hardly hypocritical. And just because that electrician from Wheeling doesn't have a perfectly crafted speech prepared doesn't mean he's ignorant or insincere.
Could you imagine if every one of those ordinary citizens had well-prepared talking points? Then the critics would claim they were too well-rehearsed, or merely regurgitating Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin or Glenn Beck.
We Learn, Then We Vote
The arrogant cognoscenti who make such "regurgitation" comments fail to see that they, and anyone who listens or reads, can be accused of the same charge. It's called "learning."
This would all be well and good if reporters and pontificators subjected liberals to the same critical analysis. But they don't. Here's a good example.
First, note Time Magazine's critical tone towards conservative protesters:
On Sept. 12, a large crowd gathered in Washington to protest ... what? The goals of Congress and the Obama Administration, mainly — the cost, the scale, the perceived leftist intent. The crowd's agenda was wide-ranging, so it's hard to be more specific. "End the Fed," a sign read. A schoolboy's placard denounced "Obama's Nazi Youth Militia." Another poster declared, "We the People for Capitalism Not Socialism." (Source: Time Magazine)The clear implication is that these angry racists don't know what they're protesting, don't know what they're doing, don't know what they stand for... Nothing to see here but some fringe kooks...
Next, note how Politico reports on a liberal cause:
One of the country’s leading Hispanic organizations is launching a campaign designed to pressure CNN to rein in host Lou Dobbs.A groundswell of millions of people who pay taxes and vote means nothing, and is reported on with smirky, snarky bites. But a little liberal activist group gets mad at Lou Dobbs for reporting the facts about illegal immigration and that's treated with the utmost of seriousness.
The organization behind the campaign, Democracia Ahora, is kicking off the effort Friday with the release of a report based on interviews with 100 Hispanic leaders about the impact of Dobbs’ evening show.
The results of the report are not surprising – 90 percent of the interviewees believe Dobbs is helping create a negative image of Hispanics, with his frequent criticisms of illegal immigration. (Source: Politico)
Is it any wonder Pew Research reports that the news media's credibility is completely shot?

Lou Dobbs wife is hispanic and how will the liberal media/elitest affect our kid's future? We are encouraging our children to go to college. Which could be thought of, "giving our young into the hands of Liberal Devil's teaching". We do this with the hopes of the youths get some sense who they truely are and what they want to be. What a dream
They key is to teach your children before you send them off to the liberal indoctrination centers known as colleges.
I didn't know Lou's wife was Hispanic. Interesting.
Gee... millions of illegal immigrants couldn't possibly be creating a negative image of Hispanics, huh?
I hear that the Obama administration is now talking about "bailing out" the Newspapers because they are losing readers. Another waste of taxpayer money.
