Is this what they plan on doing at all of them?

edit to add this from the link-

:crazy:

Are you asking why I'm assuming that they're Republicans?

Read their signs. "No Government Health Care". "No Government Counselor in my Home!" And they're chanting "just say no". I think it's safe to assume that most of the people in this crowd are Republican.

No, I am not assuming that all Dems are for "this bill". I'm not even sure what "this bill" is yet. There are different versions and even those will probably change before it's settled.

Read their signs. They are not protesting an insurance company giveaway. It appears to be an unfocused protest against government involvement in general. In other words, it's a protest in favor of private insurance. That's fine. That's their right. But I think you may be misunderstanding what they're protesting.

It's freaking obviously Republicans and it's obvious they are disrupters.

I am being kind and giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are not that stupid. So, to keep things civil, let's assume that you commented without watching the video and just automatically drew some kind of assumption that anybody who has been educating themself about the healthcare issue would never draw.

"Just say no". It is a pretty simple concept and may actually catch on. I am being serious here. We seem to be letting this slip away and the Repukes are good at gathering the masses, keeping it simple and staying on message. Give them some time and they can use it effectively. Not only that, but they are pretty well practiced at Saying "No", so this might be an easy one to follow.

and the comments on the youtube page-:puke:
Especially weasler455

down with them unless we do something.

in progress. Then point out the agitators as the terrorists.

THE MOB RULE AND DISRUPTION BY THE RIGHT.

making sure that no one hears to truth about the health care bills. Think about all those emails we get from the rw. there are a lot email addresses on those. Is there a way to turn this back on them? We could also buy more ads than they do. I don't know but at this point I think Gov. Perry had a good idea - at least that group of people should secede from the union. They deserve to be on their own.

Viral..they want to play hard ball..this needs to be the example of how to counteract it. For one thing bring a megaphone.

They should take their parents off Medicare and buy some good old corporate health care from United Health.

RW video.

The memos detailing this strategy were also RW.

Weren't they posted by ThinkProgress?

Big difference hitting TP than some wingnut's YouTube post.

I dislike wingnuts and the shit they produce. Period.

"No gov't counselor in my home!!!"

Looks like the euthanasia BS is catching on, unfortunately.

the people marketing Republican ideas don't confuse people with the facts, the organizers of the tea-bag parties and the 9/12 Project are business types and know what sells.

a rational argument.

It isn't.

It's about convincing people to buy/choose your ideas.

it offends my sensibilities to think about resorting to Republican/business marketing techniques because it treats citizens (people/constituents/voters) as merely numbers/targeted objects/means to an end... But as we have become a society that thinks primarily in term of dollars... (I feel like we live in a parallel universe along side the conservatives)

I am almost losing hope that "america" is on the right track... This is disgusting to me.. How long have we been this mislead? These are still humans... Dumb as fuck ones. But they are soooo mislead! And before we bitch about them, realize outside of your bubble for one second, OUR country made them like this...

to demean Obama's Presidency. Furthermore, others are certainly insurance industry plants. The remainder are the ignorant that are comfortable with being ignorant.

to deprogram them

In case any of us were wondering....

...you spelled all your words correctly

I cannot understand their stupidity

And I mean all of this. Going back to the primaries. Maybe if it comes in that form, the stupid ones protesting for the rich just might get it. Ahhh Then again, maybe not.

when I see a Monty Python skit I haven't seen before, I realize how lacking my life is... funny though and funnier also because I used to have a manfriend that was a Black Watch WWI reenactor and he played the bagpipes so well (that and the kilt were the only things I missed about him) Well, I admit, I did get to see the real Black Watch in action also... (I don't share very often but - I am a sucker for a military tattoo)

I can't fucking believe it.

-Hoot

Let's go back about 9 years to Fl and the Brooks Brothers riots. This is how they win.

If this is how the public plans to attend town halls, then I guess they will shut themselves out. Such angry, ignorant butt heads. I hope this representative goes with WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY, and F*CK these bozos. I would be so upset if I were him. You have to remember..this is most likely a minority of the people he represents, but being loud and rude is what the right wing does best.

A sad day for Texas.

Don't delude yourself.

If this was in Austin, I can assure you they were carpetbaggers.

Canadian health care system is better.

Remember this?

All the Repugs need is one video like this one from Texas. MSM will be playing this all of August. All they need is one such display of ignorance and they'll turn it into a big deal and say that people everywhere are reacting like this.

This is organized and stage for effect. I went to a Town Hall in the Chicago Area about 2 weeks ago - a Dem Congressman that borders on being a Blue Dog. He still hasn't declared whether he is for a strong 'public option' yet.

Anyway - at least one attendee at that Town Hall was carrying a "Don't Thread On Me" flag like the one in the video from Texas.
There were about 300 people at the Town Hall I attended and I would say about 90% supported the public option.

What are we going to do about outbreaks like this? I think the Repugs will stage these all over the country over this recess.

We can yell louder and there's more of us that want this than don't. We need to fight fire with fire. Yell louder and maker bigger signs.

This gathering was meticulously planned by the GOP - notice the nice clothing and well-fed upper-middle classers. Prolly coordinated from Dallas area churches. But if these folks are Austinites they must be from the far north section. It's just all too wierd.

:grr: :banghead:
