About 20 minutes earlier, a man on MoveOn.org’s side of the street crossed over and shouted “Why don’t you like the public option?” Several of the counter-protesters said that they don’t want the government to run everything. The MoveOn.org man got nose to nose with a short, gray-haired counter-protester, and sneered, “You’re an idiot.”
At that point, I’m told the victim either swung at or pushed his assailant’s face away with an open hand, and his finger entered his mouth.
[snip]
The MoveOn.org protester then allegedly bit off the finger up to the first knuckle, and spat it into the street where it was recovered by Bush.
(H/T) @jeffemanuel.
The Moveon.org zombie apparently then left. At a walk. And none of his Moveon.org colleagues stopped him. And then they themselves later walked through the crime scene.
Again: wait, what?

Did you also notice there was a complete lack of concern for the protester who lost a finger?

Sean, you know darn well that astroturfing refers to the organizing tactics
civil truth (Diary) Thursday, September 3rd at 10:41AM EST (link)…not to the identity of the individual protestors. In particular, pretending you’ve got a grass-roots movement when the whole infrastructure has been created and funded by advocacy organizations employing paid activists to do the organizing – that’s astroturfing.
Nice red herring there…
At the endpoint, the footsoldiers are mostly unpaid, though you still have the MoveOn employees intermixed among the protesters in charge of choreographing the protest (and damping down spontaneity that they can’t control). And having been to some of these “protests” in my reprobate days, I know how intensely the choreographing goes on – sometimes overtly, sometimes by behind the scene manipulations – by “professionals” – AKA COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS (sound familiar).
Which leads the second tier of behind the scenes money utilization, where groups like MoveOn (or union) drive protesters around in buses to the rally point, manufacture collective signs for people to pick up and carry, organize chants – and in some cases make undercover arrangements for preferred seating,
Again, if this were done openly, then it wouldn’t be astroturfing but rather organized protests. It’s the secrecy and pretending to be “grassroots” that’s the problem.
Not to mention that throughout the health care debate this summer, the Democrats have incessantly accused opponents of simply being the purchased agents of unnamed iinsurance companies with alleged undocumented funded and undocumented organizational structures – while ignoring the documented tactics of unions and groups like MoveOn to intentionally disrupt their opponents, sometimes with the connivance of the public officials who are “on their side”.

Health care reform means more power for the IRS
izoneguy (Diary) Thursday, September 3rd at 11:08AM EST (link)Health care reform means more power for the IRS
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/Health-care-reform-means-more-power-for-the-IRS-56781377.html
In short, health care reform, as currently envisioned by Democratic leaders, would be built on the foundation of an expanded and more intrusive IRS.
Under the various proposals now on the table, the IRS would become the main agency for determining who has an “acceptable” health insurance plan; for finding and punishing those who don’t have such a plan; for subsidizing individual health insurance costs through the issuance of a tax credits; and for enforcing the rules on those who attempt to opt out, abuse, or game the system.
A substantial portion of H.R. 3200, the House health care bill, is devoted to amending the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in order to give the IRS the authority to perform these new duties.
The Democrats’ plan would require all Americans to have “acceptable” insurance coverage (the legislation includes long and complex definitions of “acceptable”) and would designate the IRS as the agency charged with enforcing that requirement.
On your yearly 1040 tax return, you would be required to attest that you have “acceptable” coverage. Of course, you might be lying, or simply confused about whether or not you are covered, so the IRS would need a way to check your claim for accuracy. Under current plans, insurers would be required to submit to the IRS something like the 1099 form in which taxpayers report outside income. The IRS would then check the information it receives from the insurers against what you have submitted on your tax form.
If it all matches up, you’re fine. If it doesn’t, you will hear from the IRS. And if you don’t have “acceptable” coverage, you will be subject to substantial fines — fines that will be administered by the IRS.
Backers of the Democratic bills are betting that the handouts involved — giving people money to buy health insurance — will outweigh concerns about privacy and coercive government. Perhaps. But before Congress makes any decision on national health care, voters should know just what it will involve.
The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

Biting off someone's finger because they hit you is not self defense
clowngirl (Diary) Monday, September 7th at 11:19PM EST (link)Self defense would mean the minimum level of violence necessary to get away.
It could be retaliation but not self defense. Neither version of events renders it acceptable or normal to BITE OFF SOMEONE’S FINGER.
Personally I think it’s much more likely that the move on.org guy got in the old man’s face and the old man tried to push him away. If he had hit the guy presumably his hand would be in a fist and moving quickly.
Also, intuitively, it just seems much more likely that the person who was capable of biting off another person’s finger, spitting it on the ground & walking away is much more likely to be the aggressor.
Well, Obama said "get in their face." I guess we missed the part about mutilation is cool to.

Unions to take over healthcare if KILL BILL (aka obamacare) is not killed!

Reasons to kill KILL BILLl are too many to enumerate, among others, here is one biggie: your healthcare will be controlled by the union thugs!
If you think them biting off 1 finger is bad, wait till the union thugs are placed in the KILL BILL system in all positions, big and small! You can wait and wait and die while they are laughing and smoking at your expenses on the other side of the phone line! I have witnessed first hand the aggressive behaviour of the moveon.org thugs – one guy placed himself between an older lady and senator Lautenberg’s rep when she was talking to the rep, nudging backward to push her out of the way! All unprovoked! Had we protested loudly (we only mumbled a little) he just might have attacked us! I guess that is obozo’s teaching: in their face!
Do you want that? NO? Then kill the KILL BILL as if your lives depend on it – your lives do depnend on it being KILLED!
Excerpts from National right to work cmte:
The biggest proponents of Obama’s health care overhaul legislation — the union bosses – are now trying to exploit the death of their longtime ally Teddy Kennedy to force a vote as soon as possible.
Of course, we already know WHY Big Labor likes the bill so much. The “Obamacare” legislation is absolutely chock-full of hidden giveaways to union militants. A handful of (union-label) bureaucrats would be making health care decisions for all of us . . .
It’s no wonder union thugs have been beating up Americans at town hall meetings – no one would benefit from this federal powergrab more than Big Labor.
“Obamacare” will give Big Labor control of health care (over 16% of the entire economy) forcing hundreds of thousands of Americans to pay billions into union treasuries.
The cost of health care would REALLY skyrocket when Big Labor bigwigs pad payrolls with more and more layers of support staff and medical bureaucracy — all at taxpayer expense.
And there would be special privileges for union-run insurance plans.
These are just a few of the dangerous elements of the health care bills being debated in Congress, and what will be the law of the land in a few short weeks if you and I don’t act today.
And the truth is, now with Big Labor added to the mix, it could be far WORSE than anyone is letting on.
The truth is, should Big Labor’s “Obamacare” Bill pass, it would:
*** Force hundreds of thousands of doctors, surgeons, nurses — and other medical professionals — under Big Labor’s thumb;
*** Heavily tax small businesses’ health care plans, while exempting Big Labor from these same taxes, corralling even more workers into forced unionism;
*** Virtually hand Big Labor direct access to taxpayer dollars as the medical boards that direct government funding will be stacked with unelected Big Labor bureaucrats.
That’s why it’s vital you act TODAY:-
Contact Snowe and Collins (make sure they don’t vote yes)!
Write/call Blue-dogs (emphasize NO PUBLIC OPTION)!
Go to townhall meetings (ASK TOUGH QUESTIONS)!
Join teapartyexpress bus or Amercan Liberty Tour
Go to tea parties (teapartypatriots has info).

9/11 Patriot Day

The Astroturf(TM) -Organizer-in-Chief,Barack Obama, and his puppet master David Axelrod, are organizing a nationwide Senate call-in on that day. One dead Kennedy wasn’t enough, now Obama is using the nearly 3000 Americans who died on 9/11 to shamelessly promote his agenda. This effort is also no doubt timed to lessen the impact of the March on Washington scheduled for the very next day.
The lemmings will be calling to urge passage of the so-called “Public Option”, and will be claiming that “75% of Americans support it”. For a first-hand look at the kind of moronic drivel that appears on the President’s, er, usurper’s personal website these days,follow this link:

Obama hates American People!
wolfster38 (Diary) Thursday, September 3rd at 4:09PM EST (link)I think that calling out the “Obama thugs” is just proof that the President Of The United States hates The people of the United States!
We know what your doing and we will make you scratch and crawl for every little piece of liberty you want to steal from us. We will use your rules against you. We will expose you for what you are. And we will use the one thing you despise the most, THE TRUTH ! And you know as well as we do, the truth is with us!
“A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”

The sheriff’s department is seeking the public’s help in identifying the man in black at far right, by calling the investigations bureau at (805)494-8201.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
Took me awhile...
