More of that Civility We’ve Heard So Much About
This is what the DNC has to say about the justified outrage politically aware American citizens are showing over an immensely expensive health care plan that nobody’s even bothered to read:
The Republicans and their allied groups – desperate after losing two consecutive elections and every major policy fight on Capitol Hill – are inciting angry mobs of a small number of rabid right wing extremists funded by K Street Lobbyists to disrupt thoughtful discussions about the future of health care in America taking place in Congressional Districts across the country.
However, much like we saw at the McCain-Palin rallies last year where crowds were baited with cries of ’socialist,’ ‘communist,’ and where the birthers movement was born – these mobs of extremists are not interested in having a thoughtful discussion about the issues – but like some Republican leaders have said – they are interested in ‘breaking’ the President and destroying his Presidency.
These mobs are bussed in by well funded, highly organized groups run by Republican operatives and funded by the special interests who are desperately trying to stop the agenda for change the President was elected to bring to Washington.
All of them are no doubt in the pockets of Big Insurance, Big Pharma, and the Evil Corporations that are keeping honest American citizens from the health care they need, no doubt. This is the Democrat party’s reaction to dissent. I thought dissent was the highest form of patriotism? We sure heard a lot about that when Bush was in office. It’s not so much fun when your bad ideas are lambasted, though, is it? So it’s time to just claim it’s avast, right-wing conspiracy, rather than acknowledge the legitimate concerns.
The White House is very interested in what you have to say about health care. So much so that they’ve set up a website so that you can report anyone who disagrees with Obamacare.
That’s your civility: an enemies list.
We won’t even go into the whole transparency thing.
