FOX News not even giving cover to the organizers of the healthcare protests

From a Fox News story (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/08/07/health-care-town-hall-turns-violent-tampa/) posted today: (emphasis mine)

Inside, democratic lawmakers had a difficult time delivering their opening remarks as they were met with shouts of "You work for us!" "Tyranny! tyranny! tyranny!" and "Read the bill!" the Tampa Tribune reported.

As tensions rose further, Rep. Castor was escorted out of the town hall by police after Reed encouraged her to leave.

"They're hiding from their constituents. She works for us and needs to listen," Karen Jaroch, a homemaker and organizer for the 9-12 Project, told the Tribune.

That's right, the 9-12 Project, Glenn Beck's little "revolutionary," why-can't-it-just-be-like-1950 pity party. It's hard to get this kind of information out to people inclined to believe the propaganda anyway, but at least we all know the truth.

1. Since it's obvious this is just a bunch of right-wing whackos, I hope this motivates the Dems

I know it makes me want to kick some right-wing ass.

2. That is one good thing about the short-attention span news cycle:

things happen so quickly and information flows so freely that the Dem leadership has the option of shifting strategy to face the challenge. Hell, it's only August 7. They've got weeks to try different approaches.
