Quote:
... Obama tried to anticipate his critics and called on the crowd of about 1,500 to sharpen their elbows, too.
"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face," he said.
"And if they tell you that, 'Well, we're not sure where he stands on guns.' I want you to say, 'He believes in the Second Amendment.' If they tell you, 'Well, he's going to raise your taxes,' you say, 'No, he's not, he's going lower them.' You are my ambassadors. You guys are the ones who can make the case."
wow. that last pathetic leg the libs were hopping around on? i think you just kicked it out from under them
Of course the OP, who makes a habit of this, is defending the LOBBYING ARMS OF THE HEALTH INSURNANCE COMPANIES who pay people to slow down the insurance industry GRAVY TRAIN, with real grass roots orgs.
Repeat after me; "I am sanrene, facts don't matter".

It's called CONFRONTING the lies spread by the righties. Just like I do on here any time I see a thread started by any number of posters on here who generally start their threads with a LIE, a twisting of the facts, a misquote of by posing it as a "poll" which only offers the option of "Obama-worst or second-worst President ever".
We learned from watching 40 years of Mitchell, Segretti, Atwater, Rove, Liddy, Limbaugh, Drudge, Hannity and the rest. Now when we see people starting threads based on lies and distortions we CALL THEM OUT ON THEIR LIES. I know we're supposed to "debate", but you cannot "debate" a fabrication, so the best bet is to call it out for the LIE that it is.

When the "manufactured" outrage the Left is trying to demonize lines up so inconveniently with public polling, it's sometimes necessary to create evidence for the "manufactured" storyline.
Enter Think Progress, which unearthed this shocking, secret memo from the leader of a small grassroots conservative organization in Connecticut, which allegedly instructs members on "infiltrating town halls and harassing Democratic members of Congress."
Right Principles PAC was formed by Bob MacGuffie and four friends in 2008, and has taken in a whopping $5,017 and disbursed $1,777, according to its FEC filing.
Read on to see how the Left is trying to create a "manufactured" RW mob crisis.
Be sure to watch the Video - I guess this might be an example for the Left of crazed, out of control RW "mobs".
Totally contrived, manufactured and cooked up from the WH as a way to deflect from the REAL problems with their massive tax and spend agenda.
