Un-American, disruptive, distorters of truth, manufactured outrage, Astroturf, hired guns, and Nazis are all terms used by President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and their liberal allies to disparage those who are speaking out at healthcare town hall meetings. Rather than address the legitimate questions being raised about Obamacare, the power elite have chosen to attack with personal insults.
This is a failed strategy and it runs the risk of creating serious, long-term alienation in the aggrieved victims. What a difference six months can make. In February, according to the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll, Obama enjoyed the approval of 65 percent of Americans. Now after his bruising attacks on these activists, his approval rating has slumped to below 50 percent. Alienation is a two-way street. Obama has not been helped by his allies.
The speaker of the House actually wrote an op-ed in USA Today attacking people who voice their displeasure with Obama's healthcare reform bill. "These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views -- but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American." What Pelosi fails to realize is that her side is the power elite in control of the process and she is the one "drowning out opposing views."
