		<description><![CDATA[In a move sure to enrage Driving-Range Attendants and Retired Floridians everywhere, Obamacare's proponents call protesters "astroturf".]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Folks, I was curious about people calling the health care protests &#8220;astroturf;&#8221; meaning, the protesters are recruited to be there by right-wing fringe leaders like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O&#8217;Reilly, and, the mobfather himself, Rush Limbaugh.</p>
<p>But, people seem to be missing the point.  Nancy Pelosi, for example, called those asking questions of the Messiah &#8220;Un-American.&#8221;  But, in 2006, she said, &#8220;I&#8217;m a fan of disruptors.&#8221;</p>
<p><a title="http://www.breitbart.tv/06-flashback-pelosi-tells-anti-war-protesters-im-a-fan-of-disruptors/" href="http://www.breitbart.tv/06-flashback-pelosi-tells-anti-war-protesters-im-a-fan-of-disruptors/" target="_blank">Check it out here.</a></p>
<p>Barack Obama said that those questioning him <a title="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/15/health/policy/15obama.html?_r=2&amp;hp" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/15/health/policy/15obama.html?_r=2&amp;hp" target="_blank">are being funded by Big Insurance</a>&#8230;If only he had proof&#8230;</p>
<p><a title="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.228e42c5948115405d6f3ec5d1ad6b50.1a1&amp;show_article=1" href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.228e42c5948115405d6f3ec5d1ad6b50.1a1&amp;show_article=1" target="_blank">And he also blames the &#8220;ruckus&#8221; on &#8220;cable news.&#8221;</a> Now, ladies and gentlemen, let&#8217;s not be dim here.  He means Fox News.</p>
<p>But, if it turns out these groups are getting marching orders from groups,&#8211;in the words of Rush Limbaugh&#8211;&#8217;bout damn time.</p>
<p>And I completely agree.  The aggressor sets the rules, folks.  The left-wing loons set a precedent for disruptive behavior, and to refer to the questioning of an elected official as &#8220;Un-American&#8221; is simply that.</p>
<p>Now, let&#8217;s take a look at the real astroturf.</p>
<p>Now, I must admit, I get my marching orders from MoveOn.org.  I receive their email&#8230;just so I can know what&#8217;s going on in the world outside of my God and Guns&#8230;</p>
<p>Here is part of an email from August 7, 2009:</p>
<p>Check it out&#8211;as well as just who is laying astroturf&#8211;after the jump&#8230;</p>
<p>Also, Sheila Jackson&#8217;s townhall: a complete SHAM&#8230;</p>

<blockquote><p><span style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">&#8220;Dear MoveOn member, </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We&#8217;ve got a plan to fight back against these radical right-wingers. We&#8217;ve hired skilled grassroots organizers who are working with thousands of local volunteers to show Congress that ordinary Americans continue to support President Obama&#8217;s agenda for change. And we&#8217;re building new online tools to track events across the country and make sure MoveOn members turn out at each one. </span></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It&#8217;s getting ugly out there.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">All across the country, right-wing extremists are disrupting congressional town-hall meetings with venomous attacks on President Obama&#8217;s plans for health care and clean energy.<br />
</span></p>
<ul><span style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<li> Last night in <span id="lw_1250326361_0" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">Tampa, Florida</span>, a town hall meeting erupted into violence, with the <span style="font-weight: bold;">police being called to break up fist fights and shoving matches</span>.<sup>1</sup></li>
<li> A Texas Democrat was shouted down by right-wing hecklers, many of whom admitted <span style="font-weight: bold;">they didn&#8217;t even live in his district</span>.<sup>2</sup></li>
<li> One <span id="lw_1250326361_1">North Carolina</span> representative announced he wouldn&#8217;t be holding any town-hall meetings after his office began receiving <span style="font-weight: bold;">death threats</span>.<sup>3</sup></li>
<li> And in Maryland, protesters <span style="font-weight: bold;">hung a Democratic congressman</span> in effigy to oppose health-care reform.<sup>4&#8243;</sup></li>
<p></span></ul>
<ul><span style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span></ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Oh my God!  Not in his district?!  Let the record show, that I will be attending Dan Lungren&#8217;s townhall meeting in Rancho Cordova in late August.  I do not live in his district.  Bring it on MoveOn!  Also, Sheila Jackson held a townhall meeting where a doctor stood in support of Obamacare.  <a title="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/08/13/video-obamacare-fans-take-astroturfing-to-a-new-level/" href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/08/13/video-obamacare-fans-take-astroturfing-to-a-new-level/" target="_blank">Hot Air is reporting that she is not a doctor, and is, in fact, an Obama delegate; and was also Lead Organizer for Organizing for America in March of 2008!</a> And, it turns out she was invited by that person who was in charge of that <a title="http://patterico.com/2009/08/14/roxana-mayer-invited-to-town-hall-by-obama-organizer-who-sported-che-guevara-poster-at-obama-campaign-office/" href="http://patterico.com/2009/08/14/roxana-mayer-invited-to-town-hall-by-obama-organizer-who-sported-che-guevara-poster-at-obama-campaign-office/" target="_blank">Obama campaign office with the Che flag&#8230;</a></p>
<p>So, as you can see, not so &#8220;grassroots.&#8221;</p>
<p><a title="http://pol.moveon.org/truth/lies.html?rc=tw" href="http://pol.moveon.org/truth/lies.html?rc=tw" target="_blank">Also, I received a link in another email issuing me my talking points. </a></p>
<p>Basically, it breaks down the top five health care lies.</p>
<p>And finally, in the newest email, they actually want me to write to the Sacramento Bee about how I want government controlled health care.  And, they actually issue talking points.</p>
<p>Remember, these are the same people accusing the &#8220;right-wing mob&#8221; of just bloviating talking points.</p>
<p>From the email:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="margin: 1em 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Here are some talking points specific to California you can use in your letter:</span></p>
<ul><span style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<li> <span style="font-weight: bold;">We can&#8217;t afford to wait for reform: </span>Each day, 2190 people in California lose their <span id="lw_1250326355_9">health care coverage</span>. And without reform, those who still have insurance will see their yearly premiums go up by $9,380 in the next decade—to a staggering $22,660.</li>
<li> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Reform with a real public option is key to expanding coverage:</span> Under current legislation, which includes a strong <span id="lw_1250326355_10">public health insurance</span> option, 5,337,000 people in California—and 37 million Americans nationwide<sup>1</sup>—will gain coverage by 2019.</li>
<li> <span style="font-weight: bold;">A real public health insurance option is crucial to lowering costs: </span>With premiums projected to hit $22,660, we need to get costs down. By spurring competition, a public plan will help bring down out-of-control costs<sup>2</sup> for individuals, families, and small businesses.</li>
<p></span></ul>
</blockquote>
<p>And finally, the kicker, ladies and gentlemen:</p>
<p>Craigslist ads offering paid work to &#8220;TACKLE the health care CRISIS,&#8221; and to &#8220;Help CURE the health care crisis and MAKE MONEY.&#8221;</p>
<p><a title="http://sacramento.craigslist.org/search/jjj?query=obama&amp;catAbbreviation=jjj" href="http://sacramento.craigslist.org/search/jjj?query=obama&amp;catAbbreviation=jjj" target="_blank">Check out the ads for such &#8220;grassroots&#8221; efforts in the Sacramento Area alone.</a></p>
<p><a title="http://harringtonreport.com/tag/obamacare/" href="http://harringtonreport.com/tag/obamacare/" target="_blank">Be sure to check out our dissection of Obamacare!</a></p>
<p>Oh, and also, MSNBC makes up a fake assassination attempt against Barack Obama.</p>

<p>Union thugs beat up a protester in Tampa:</p>

<p>Here is what Obama had to say:</p>
<p>&#8220;But I don&#8217;t want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don&#8217;t mind cleaning up after them, but don&#8217;t do a lot of talking.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yeah, I&#8217;ll bet you&#8230;</p>
