Look at this CNN Headline :
Edited on Thu Sep-10-09 05:18 PM by TheCoxwain

Town hall anger echoed in Congress
Wilson: Outburst to speech 'spontaneous'



on


http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/


First of all - the town hall anger was manufactured ( CNN is legitimizing the fake anger, reminding people of it ) ...and to top it all off - Declare that Wilson outburst was 'spontaneous'



THIS IS WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING AGAINST.

CNN - BASTARDS

7. Let me add...
this Wilson outburst was PLANNED. The GOP had copies of the speech several days prior to the speech. They knew what to do and when.........It's a distraction ploy!!!!another one!

2. Exactly.
But some are in denial but as I wrote elsewhere.....

The harsh reality is that the rules are different for Democrats than they are for Republicans. That's just a fact that we have to work with. We do not control the conversation, the media does....and they get their talking points from the GOP, not from any of us. When we assail this President on a daily basis, we on our side are simply doing the job that gives the media that much less to do.

Why do you think the President had to call a Joint Session? Because although his microphone is big, the media's is bigger. That's why we don't really get to see any of the Cabinet members making any speeches or propose their programs. It is why when the President does town-halls, we don't get to hear the speakers before him; the average men and women who agree with his views and have a story to tell. It is why we don't really get to hear about any of the programs that the President has put into play in any details. It is why his comments about a professor being arrested in his home become the topic of conversation from our news agencies for like....two weeks!

As the temperature is taken of last night speech; a speech that has been said by many to be the one that could make or break health care reform and Barack Obama's presidency, those of us who yell the loudest now about how the speech really isn't getting the job done, are assisting in the nailing down of the coffin of not only Health Care reform, but in reference to other progressive programs in the wings.

3. That doesn't hurt us - everyone with half a brain knows by now that the town halls...
...were filled with ignorant blowhards ~ just like Joe Wilson.

6. M$NBC did mention that Wilson had the speech ahead of time and there's
no reason he should have been surprised by anything he heard.
