Freedom of Speech, So Long as You Agree With Me: The New DNC



This video is appalling. This video is absolutely appalling. I wanted you to watch this to see what the Democratic Party is putting out in regards to people who oppose this healthcare plan.

This is not to say all Democrats believe this, but certainly the Democratic National Committee has wasted no time going after freedom of expression. I know many Democrats are unhappy with this plan, as are many Republicans and independents. It is a shame the national party is making this an issue of whether you are with us or against us. Instead of having a free debate, they are shouting down people with differing opinions.

If you want to talk about demonization and ostracizing people for the opinions they are entitled to about this healthcare policy that Congress is playing so fast and loose with, look no further than what the propaganda machine has spit out now.

If you oppose this healthcare plan, the Democratic National Committee and the White House are labeling you as part of an angry mob. Certainly, this is what the video shows. If you are against this healthcare plan, you are labeled a right wing extremist. I know of many Democrats that are leery of this healthcare plan, and none of them I would consider to be right wing extremists.
The untruths are staggering.

If you want to talk about an angry mob, let’s talk about the SEIU and the Teamsters that are told to pack these halls to give the appearance that all people support this plan. Oh yes, I have seen this before. I do not know where these people come from, but when they are called upon, they show up in a mass group wearing their union t-shirts. Maybe you have seen this before too. Seems a little more like intimidation to me than a free and open debate in my opinion.

And they call US the Mob. Sorry folks, we do not engage in intimidating tactics. We just want to be heard. It is because of the tactics being employed by the Democratic National Committee, Congress, and this President that we have to feel like the enemy every time we open our mouths.

And it is time for the President to wise up and take responsibility. The healthcare plan was his baby, the cap and trade plan was his baby, and this stimulus plan was his baby. I’ll be damned if the President keeps shoving off blame to the Republicans, because this new mess belongs to him. We don’t control Capitol Hill, YOU DO.

And if the American people are pissed, it is because you made them that way, not because they were paid by the vast rightwing conspiracy.

By the way, to the DNC, you had 8 years to complain over Bush, and you did frequently. The free advice is, if you can’t take it, don’t dish it.
