This is Josh Marshall from 2005:
What the hell is Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) thinking? She’s holding a townhall meeting on Social Security tomorrow in Baton Rouge, the same day President Bush is holding his Bamboozlepalooza event in Shreveport.
But Landrieu’s event is open to the public, no tickets required. I’ll bet her staff hasn’t even put together a Landrieu-loyalty oath yet or done background checks on people who want to ask questions.
Back in 2005, George W. Bush intended to advance social security reform. The left was up in arms. They were sending droves of protestors to congressional townhalls to shout down members of Congress. Protests were held around the nation. The Teamsters, SEIU, and others fully mobilized their members to kill it. The “In This Together Campaign” organized anti-reform townhalls, then attacked members of Congress for not showing up at them. The same group sent participants into townhalls to cause problems, protest, and oppose reform efforts.
But that was back in 2005 when dissent was patriotic and the activists were funded by Hungarian billionaires.
In 2009, dissent is Nazism and protestors are not authentic since they show up on their own dime without subsidy. In Barack Obama’s America, what’s good for the goose is not good for the gander.

I mean you just cannot have the American people in charge of their money, we would have no idea what to do with it. I guess I will never be able to understand that kind of mind set. They want complete control of future “monies”, that would have to mean they have their own agenda on health care.
The Big Lie
Beaglescout (Diary) Tuesday, August 11th at 8:53AM EST (link)Hypocrisy is more about personal morality in speech and action. What they are doing is straight out of Goebbel’s playbook. Lie about absolutely everything, and because they have a Pravda press who competes to kiss the regime’s jackboots they expect to get away with it. So far they are right.
“A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one.”
A great blast from the past.
get2djnow (Diary) Tuesday, August 11th at 9:04AM EST (link)I think there is some triangulation going on here. Nancy and Steny start up the HUAC and Rahm sends out a clown that says Dear Leader doesn’t believe that this is un-American. It puts PBO in the right light, while Nancy and Steny really can’t go down more in the polls.
BTW, I promise to be more aware of the /sarc tags in the future. When I’m really tired I’m a little slow to pick them up. Sorry.

Sham Meetings and Riots
G. A. Harrison (Diary) Tuesday, August 11th at 9:24AM EST (link)That seems to be the Dem response. Obama is hosting put up meetings. Some Democrat legislators are simply hiding from their constituents.
Last night in Towson, my senator (I’m ashamed to say), Ben Cardin tried to get union activists and ACORN thugs to outnumber the honest, hard working taxpayers who wanted to let their senator know how they feel about ObamaCare. We’ve already seen what has happened in Tampa and St. Louis.
I love a good debate. I don’t even mind a good tussle. However, I honestly believe that the Democrats aren’t going to stop until someone gets seriously hurt … or worse. Of course, the media will somehow blame us.
