They named everyone in the pictures of those spontaneous, grass roots (Lol) riot. All work for the republican party.

Sounds like you don't understand the word FACT.
FACTS do not require your belief.
And FACTS remain true, even when you don't understand them.

I don't mind ordinary citizens criticizing anything, as long as they know what they are criticizing and are willing to listen to someone explain what the other side is. If they don't want to listen and just want to make noise about something that is false, or something they don't really understand, or actually do understand but don't believe because they "don't trust the government", then they need to shut up and let the grownups talk. I think there are enough real issues to address without having to deal with that kind of nonsense. My kids had better manners than that at age 5. Couldn't even start kindergarted if they didn't.

First the memo from the head of homeland security to poice saying to watch them how this on people who disagree with his healthcare. Nazi browen shorts now called to action against any preotest by citizens. Qotuing Madoow is like quoting the conrade leader;certainly no unbias person.

Is Organizing For America the same as Change.org? Sounds astroturfy to me!

Maybe Progressive grass grows from the top down? ? ?
(Makes as much sense as some of their other logic)

Much like the people at Moveon.org, Organizing For America folks have never had an original thought in their lives.

As of late July, the only real mission of the organization has been using volunteers to campaign against congressmen and senators who oppose the president's agenda.

Wonder what kind of govt funding they get?

Republicans had a chance to work together to come up with a bi-partisan healthcare reform option
Republicans in the house have been shut out of virtually all negotiations.

I am all for freedom of speech. However, the protestors of healthcare are interfering with the freedom of speech for those who want to ask questions, learn more about the bill, or simply express their support of the bill. Those protestors are actually interfering with the democratic process.
