Grateful for the Town Hall Idiots
I think it was about this time last year, when the GOP had us on our heels, doing their suckerpunch / cowering victimhood routine when we fought back. Eventually they overplayed their hand "Lipstick on a Pig", etc. I saw tonight the MSM finally reporting on what KO and RM have been reporting all week. The pendulum is swinging back. Reporters are doing their homework. The backers are (finally) being exposed to the mainstream.

These astonishingly ignorant white racist Sean Hannity-led ("join the mob!") old people have already overplayed their hand again. It's too late for them, but their children will eventually learn their parents have been played.

In the meantime, the Town Halls have to lay down some groundrules, like normal, civilized trade show forums. Two mikes, lines behind each. Everyone will be heard. Shouting morons will be removed.

There are way more of us than there are of them. Everyone remember this.

1. They should implement "take a number".

2. Plus it would help to coordinate the Town Hall events,
so that many many more events occur at the same time across the country.

That will dilute the astroturfers who can only be in one place at a time.

3. It is our own southern strategy
Let them drive everyone but the loud, ignorant people out of the party. If they do that they'll only hold parts of the south and parts of the southwest.

4. They really can't help themselves, can they?
I've gotten to the point where, yes, their actions anger me, but they no longer frighten me because I know they'll always fuck up. They are a party of no ideas and no discipline and that's always going to come out in the wash.

7. Their racism, hatred, and violent tendencies are plastered all over the internet
and TV for everyone to see.

I just hope the folks who were on board for HCR don't jump off because of a bunch of crazy wingnuts.

8. We need even more because some of the pundits still don't get it.
Morning Joe was discussing how wrong headed it is for Democrats to blame this on racism. That these people are real Americans. Shame on us for reading the signs and hearing their racist statements.

Yeah, they're real Americans all right. Real racist Americans.

There needs to be much much more attention drawn to the signs and what these people are saying. Like the person who called into Stephanie Miller's show this morning who was at the Dingell rally. Some members of the mob were saying that if we have socialized medicine Blacks, none of whom apparently have health insurance, will start going to the doctor and create long lines.

These people were specifically there to stop Blacks from getting health care because good white people might have to wait in line. Is that racist enough for you Joe?

Joe's a moron, but even he would have to figure it out when faced with video.
