Obamacare Outburst Round-Up

Anyone who disagrees with the Democratic members of Congress support of the monstrous Obamacare bill at an August townhall is being patronizingly told they are astroturf by their Democratic member of Congress - rather than being listened to.

Brilliant strategy Democrats. Insult your voters intelligence. Infer that your voters are fakes. And Ignore your voters wishes and desires. The three Is that are guaranteed to put you out of a job during the next election cycle.

Here, the Associated Press reports the following:

At a meeting in Des Moines, Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, was interrupted several times by people in the audience shouting criticism and questions, even though he said he didn't expect Iowans to take part in what he called "scare tactics, misinformation and obstruction."

"As we have seen in recent days, opponents are pulling out all stops to kill the reform effort. This is a shame," Harkin said.

But his words didn't stop some in the estimated crowd of 200 from disrupting the meeting, where uniformed police officers were present. Des Moines police said no one was arrested.

At one point, a man from the audience yelled: "This is not health reform, this is control, control over our lives."

Harkin responded to one man shouting criticisms by saying, "As I said, there is a nationally coordinated effort to disrupt these meetings."

The man responded that no one had sent him to the meeting.

The Washington Times reports on an instance where the moment a Democratic member of Congress is innocently questions, he lashes out, here. This paragraph sums it all up...

Tensions are running so high at town hall meetings that Rep. David Scott, a Georgia Democrat, yelled at a local doctor concerned about health care after mistaking him for an "astroturf" political operative looking for a fight.

Needless to say, the doctor is lives in Scott's district and is unaffiliated with any political activist groups. Obamacare is indefensible as many of its supports are demonstrating by attacking the questioner rather than answering the question.

Of course, at least the above two representatives showed up. Some are cancelling citing "safety concerns" because the crowds are simply not buying the lies, they are telling. Here is a report about Rep. Claire McCaskill cancelling appearances from St. Louis Today.com.

Some representatives have even taken to hiding from their own constituents. Shameful. If you're legislation can't be defended, it is indefensible legislation.
