The Booblemann-Tardball Connection
10% unemployment, well-funded brownshirts from americorps and acorn pledging allegiance to The Supreme Leader, a toadie press that demonizes el presidente's opposition for him, a political class impervious to the inquiries of ordinary citizens. I've seen this before. I've lived it. This is not a third-world dictatorship. Far from it. But it has all the trappings.
Thank you President Obama for bringing the third-world to America. It started with the cult of personality and unwarranted hero worship formerly found only in Venezuela and obscure African countries. Now our third-worldization marches on with angry factions shouting each other down over politics, of all things. By the way, what part of The US Constitution authorizes the federal government to take over even one scintilla of the economy?
Divide and Conquer
It's the oldest strategy in the book, and progressives are experts at it. Divide everyone up into little grievance groups, tell them they're powerless, then convince them there is only power in the collective to fight against "THEM," who want to take it all away.
Mobilize the masses. The idealistic college students, the shiftless, the welfare bums, the union workers who get paid to skip work and participate in political agitprop. Ply them with booze and cigarettes and five dollar bills. Bus them in, give them their signs and turn them loose. Best of all, they fund it all by shaking down guilty rich liberals who wouldn't associate with such rabble in their worst nightmares.

Who is to blame for this wave of relatively benign violence we're seeing at town halls and other political gatherings?
A White House that says things like this is to blame:
“If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard,”The DNC is screaming that the "right-wing extremist base" is out to "destroy" Barack Obama, so it has unleashed "angry mobs . . . mob activity straight from the playbook of high-level Republican political operatives."
This is a scary instance of psychological projection; denying a key attribute of your self and projecting it onto your adversary. Liberals have always excelled at rent-a-crowd tactics and they don't like it when someone beats them at their own game, especially when THEM do it without the benefit of ACORN, ANSWER or bullhorn-wielding community organizers.
Paul Krugman is to blame
Here's the latest twaddle from this educated fool. All these people went to town hall meetings because their insurance company told them to. And he discovered a couple of conservative organizations. He could be the next Giraldo! What a jackass. He should stick to economics, where at least he can hide behind his Nobel.
Yes, well-heeled interest groups are helping to organize the town hall mobs. Key organizers include two Astroturf (fake grass-roots) organizations: FreedomWorks, run by the former House majority leader Dick Armey, and a new organization called Conservatives for Patients’ Rights.
All The World's A Stage
Remember the anti-war protests of '03? I was down in South America manning the radio room with nothing better to do so I watched the unedited farce on CSPAN. The demonstrations didn't just feature anti-war speakers. There were people speaking out for the gay, lesbian, transgendered, bestiality, Malthusian retro-environmentalism, disarmament, onearmament, man-hating feminists, Latinos, pedophiles, pot smoking, labor movements, indigenous movements, bowel movements, you name it.

Why bring all these groups in to an anti-war rally? In order to get a bigger crowd! All the different agitation groups got their two-minutes rant on a national stage in exchange for delivering their victim group to fill out the crowd. And that is how the Democratic party works.
My favorite speaker that day was a cute little Muslim college girl railing against the oppressive US, castigating us for oppressing women and Muslims. A Muslim woman on national TV claiming Muslim women had no voice in this country. That must have been the comedy relief. I wonder if she'd deliver the same lecture, face uncovered, in downtown Riyadh?
It's Racism!!!!
Anyway, Krugman sees something more sinister in the right-wing mobs: Racism stoked by clever and shadowy Republican operators. He's curiously unable to provide any proof beyond his own fevered imaginings:
Does this (racial fear tactics) sound familiar? It should: it’s a strategy that has played a central role in American politics ever since Richard Nixon realized that he could advance Republican fortunes by appealing to the racial fears of working-class whites.
Many people hoped that last year’s election would mark the end of the “angry white voter” era in America. Indeed, voters who can be swayed by appeals to cultural and racial fear are a declining share of the electorate.
So who has divided this country?
Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the Democratic party have divided this country with the most expensive and most liberal agenda in the history of the US, all in the face of unprecedented debt and a serious economic crisis. We're supposed to applaud this stupidity?
Who's dividing us? The unhinged left and their idiotic foam at the mouth rantings, with George Bush assassination fantasies, and Bushitler, Chimpie and a thousand other idiotic names and baseless charges these poop throwing monkey hurled at President Bush, VP Cheney and those of us who had the temerity to vote in such a Hitlerian regime.
The HuffKook-Oglemann-Tardball Axis, abetted by the Democrat Hopium smokers in the press and washed-up TV personalities are to blame. They can dish it out but they can't take it.
When lefties protest it's speaking truth to power sprung spontaneously from the heart of working class American. When the right gets pissed its all neo-nazi, racist astroturf. Someone gives Obama a Joker face and it must be hatefulRightwingHitlerRushLimbaughFoxNewsracism
HalliburtonBloodforOilEndlessWarConspiracy!!!!!!!
Yeah right. People aren't buying that crap anymore. Obama and the Social Democrats are trying their damnedest to flush America down a third-world toilet. But unlike in a rigged third-world system, we can still vote their asses out.
