A look behind the scenes at an ObamaCare Astroturf event

A video report on Obama health care Town Hall – 11 August 2009 – Portsmouth NH

The left’s so-called “protesters” are being paid $10-$15 an hour.   Where is the money coming from to pay for all of this Astroturf?

More lies from the left about Obamacare

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

Why do democrats feel the need to lie in order “sell” their so-called “Health Care Reform” program to the American People? Probably because it has little or none to do with improving the Health Care of most tax paying American citizens.

Rightwing Sparkle has yet another example of a what is probably a planted democrat operative lying at a Town Hall meeting.

On Aug. 11th our own Houston Chronicle displayed a picture of Shelia Jackson Lee hugging a woman who had asked a question at the townhall as well, but her question was in full support of the health care bill. The woman was identified as “Dr. Roxana Mayer, a pediatric primary care physician.” Turns out, she isn’t a doctor at all though. She had identified herself to the Chonicle that way though.

So, here we have someone asking a question, giving favor in support of the health care bill, posing as a doctor to give more credibility to her support. When in reality she was an Obama delegate and NOT a doctor.

If “Obamacare” really was beneficial to American Citizens, the simple truth would support the democrat’s policies.  Since they feel the need to lie repeatedly about it, that should tell you all you need to know.

Update: HotAir points out that not only is Roxana Mayer not a doctor, she was an Obama delegate!

Another example of Obama Astroturf

Local New Hampshire News reports that Team Lightbringer is bussing in so-called “protesters” to “support” ObamaCare.  More of the paid ringers hired on Craigslist?

Obama is getting desperate

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

This is clear from his “speech” at his carefully packed with ringers speech in New Hampshire yesterday.

He told at least two two major whoppers in that attempt to hide the fact that a majority of Americans do understand “ObamaCare” and are very much against it.

The first was the flat out lie about AARP supporting his march to Socialism.

The second was his statement that there would be “no lines” under ObamaCare, which is a crock of shit.  Let’s look at the reality of socialized medicine in Canada and England.

Although Canada has a population smaller than California, 830,000 Canadians are currently waiting to be admitted to a hospital or to get treatment, according to a report last month in Investor’s Business Daily. In England, the waiting list is 1.8 million.

Our Dear Leader thinks he can spout any nonsense he wants and no one will check him on it. Well, he’s right in assuming that no one at CNN/MSNBC/CBS/ABC/NY Times will ever bother to fact check the load of crap he is shoveling to the American People.

Professor Reynolds was right

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Professor Glenn Reynolds, also known as the Instapundit, made the following correct prediction back on June 7, 2008:

I can think of no better reason to vote against Obama than the prospect of an administration where any criticism of the President is treated as racism.

Once again, he is being proved correct.

By way of Hot Air is this story from Newsbusters, which points out that a MSNBC “reporter” by the name of Carlos Watson put forth his own bizarre theory in which referring to someone as a “Socialist” is now a “code word” for racism.

What a crock of shit!

The reality is that the Socialist agenda of the current resident of the White House and democrat leaders in congress is becoming more and more apparent, and more and more Americans, including centrist swing voters who probably voted for our Dear Leader, are objecting to it strongly.

The left’s response to American citizens voicing their opinions has included, the knee-jerk response of calling them racists, attempting to deny their First Amendment Rights, denoucing their most American of activities as “un-American” and actual physical violence.

The left’s Astroturf

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Far hard left extremist democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Barbra Boxer are accusing the American Citizens who are questioning our Dear Leader‘s plan for socializing our medical system of being organized “Astroturf” instead of being the legitimate grassroots movement it is.  This is hardly surprising, since it’s the only way they can get people to “protests” who support their platform.

Let’s review the facts of the matter.  Take a look at the folks who show up to oppose socializing our medical system.  They are dressed like ordinary people, they are carrying homemade signs, and they probably took time off from work, i.e. not getting paid, in order to ask simple questions of their elected representatives.

Now compare these to the so-called “protesters” who show up to support the left’s march to Socialism. Denver photojournalist El Marco points out that those “protesters” “had to be coached by professional organizers — including several day laborers who didn’t speak English and couldn’t tell what the signs they were holding read.”

How did the left get those “protesters?” It’s simple, they paid them.  Really.  Check out these ads on Craigs List. In addition to the paid “protesters”, the left brought out their ACORN aggitators and Union thugs.  The staffers running democrat “town hall” meetings are denying access to taxpaying citizens while flooding the room with their ringers.  If voting tax payers do manage to get in, they are then physically attacked by leftist Union thugs and professional aggitators.

Of course, the usual suspects are ignoring the truth and simple facts and spreading lies.

Update: George Soros pours another $5 Million into leftist Astroturn.

Bubba Ho-Tep

Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis star in this remarkably good indie film that features the residents of a senior home battling ancient evil from the Egyptian sands. Bruce Campbell plays an old Elvis Presley impersonator, who just might be the King himself!

Ya, I know, I missed last week, so a dose of Bruce Campbell should even things up!
