Some "tips" from their guide.

1. Do not debate them on their “policy” points.

2. Interrupt them when they get disruptive and refocus the meeting:

3. Don’t get into a shouting match with them.

5. We should demonstrate that we are the majority by chanting:

[101A]

Wait a minute; isn't organizing a demonstration; orchestration, even.

I thought that was wrong, now?

I am so confused.

Isn't it funny how dissent is the highest for of patriotism when liberal do it, but not when conservatives do it....

Wish I remembered that Hillary quote.

[DarrinS]

Community organizers can't bitch when communities organize.

[balli]

Community organizers can't bitch when communities organize.
Yeah but they can bitch when a bunch of idiotic, hate-crazed, fucking losers start screaming and causing disturbances in public venues.

the one that said questioning is american? yeah. i've been trying to find that video for a while. wouldn't surprise me if that's been wiped.

more fake outrage..you girls are funny.

[RandomGuy]

Because when right wing groups bus people in from outside a district to interfere with a congressperson's town hall meeting with their own constituents, that's "democracy".

So, you think all the people at the town halls are bussed in?

Do you also think all the polls on Obamacare are rigged?

You crazies don't protest, debate or criticize. You incoherently babble in inappropriate ways and deign to call it protesting.

Sorry, but a bunch of crazy, bigoted, screaming, fleeced and fooled, hate-filled dimwits, with no facts at their side, don't pass as dissenters, they pass as WASP morons; the lowest rung of American society.

No shit... Bali obviously only watched the out of context clips rather then the full length videos I linked.

[Wild Cobra]

Good stuff. I have never heard of conservative protesters doing anything remotely close to those examples.

[balli]

I haven't watched any videos today other than 4 seconds of one. I've noticed a ton of them and I've been laughing about the fact that Darrin and Viva seemingly can't make a post that isn't some nonsensical youtube clip.

How many videos are in the OP?

[ChumpDumper]

All I know is the YWCA is out to get us.

Those bastards and their gay band....wait...that was YMCA...carry on.:downspin:

LOL...

You admitted you're talking out your ass then. Believing just a few seconds of soundbites out of context just shows how dumb you strive to be.

[balli]

You mean the OP where you bash AIDS in Action and the Child Advocate Network for preparing themselves for a thoroughly insane onslaught from a group of crazies?

[Wild Cobra]

As opposed to peaceful, liberal demonstrations
Funny, with the left claiming to be the defenders of free speech, it is those in the left who shout others down, denying their free speech.

[balli]

Nobody's denying you your right to free speech, we're just calling you retarded based on what you say. You've been marginalized because of your proven inadequacy.

[angrydude]

You mean the OP where you bash AIDS in Action and the Child Advocate Network for preparing themselves for a thoroughly insane onslaught from a group of crazies?

So its a fact that people who disagree with Obamacare at townhall meetings are thoroughly insane groups of crazies?

Nice characterization. Who sounds hate filled and crazy now?

[TeyshaBlue]

You're doing a fair job of marginalizing yourself.:lol

[hope4dopes]

Very nice post Darrin thanks alot.

So MSNBC comes out with EARTHSHATTERING proof of who is behind the oppisition to Obmacare, and it turns out to be some ridiculously small and obscure, website, whose entire assets are something like 5K. Pravda had more intelligence and integrity,and a far better work ethic than the american media.

Not an ounce of proof comes along with accusations of some well funded well organized plot...nothing ....nada....zip.
Meanwhile the state uses the public resources, and the bully pulpit of the presidental office to organize a war against the people themselves.Dozens of the orginizations on that list are funded by the state. The National Council of La Raza alone gets funded to the tune of tens of millions of dollars alone.The people are being forced through taxes to fund and support the same armies that seek to silence their voice.Obama is telling them if you want to keep your funding and be on top of the shit heap you better help keep em on the farm.
Meanwhile the Obamanations take a page out of the Nazis playbook, that being
"If you tell a big enough lie long enough and loud enough it becomes the truth"
So now the litttle brown shirts go around chanting the lie that the oppisition to Obamacare is from the insurance companies.Stupid and clumsy lunatics in our congress go around making transparent and ridiculous charges of protesters carrying swaztikas, Christ the knucledragging brutality of the Soviets and Mao's thugary looks almost surgical alongside the Obamanation and the media.
It is important that all of us who oppose this attend as many of our town hall meetings and protests as possible, it is time to organize and fight back to raise your level of activism way up.find like minded folks of all parties and get involved.

[boutons_deux]

Mobbing of and thuggery in Dem town hall meetings are as spontaneous as Fox-promoted tea parties.

"If you tell a big enough lie long enough and loud enough it becomes the truth"
.

Your joking right? What lies are these?

[boutons_deux]

"What lies are these?"

WMD in Iraq?

Saddam supporting OBL?

Saddam linked to WTC?

USA doesn't torture?

dickhead and dubya made USA safer?

Loud noises!

[George Gervin's Afro]

Loud noises!

In other words it's another double standard by our friends on the right. My original theory on why there is this double standard is because either these guys were just born during the last 7 months or they all suffer from amnesia. They are more concerned about 'lies' in the multiple bills in congress for healthcare reform that all of the bogus reasons that got us into a war...

So, at this point we should all go backwards for years and clear all that up before we address the current problem? I'm pretty sure President Obama would give that stategy a hearty thumbs up, and if you're lucky, The People's Fist Bump.

The problem is in front of us now. To use the arguement "But, they did it too!" absolutely recuses logic from the discussion. I won't disagree with your characterization of the Bush regime....as a conservative, I certainly wasn't a fan nor a voiting supporter of the Republican/Neo-Con machine. Fuck, those inbreds destroyed my party. But to sit here and point fingers backwards does nothing but move the discussion away from solution.

Not trying to look backwards. I'm just reminding our hyopcrites of what they ignored compared what they are upset with now. Give them a little perspective if you will. Just letting them know that their hypocrisy is not going unoticed

[Wild Cobra]

"What lies are these?"
This again. You like being a broken record. Prove they were lies.


WMD in Iraq?
There was at one time, and some small caches were found. Not what they expected. Prove it wasn't there and buried in the sand someplace.


Saddam supporting OBL?
There were connections, although not directly.


Saddam linked to WTC?
Who said that? As far as I know, that's a liberal created lie to pin on republicans.


USA doesn't torture?
The method of water boarding we used was not torture. Prove it was other than some people's opinion.


dickhead and dubya made USA safer?
Who are they? I know President Bush did make things safer.
