Durbin Disinformation On Debate

The White House going after Drudge, our hack Sen. Dick Durbin joining in maligning the real grassroots. Are we shovel ready? Heritage Morning Bell:

Despite the fact that all recent polls show that a majority of Americans do not support Obamacare, the left still has the audacity to claim that the concerned citizens showing up at these events are health insurance industry stooges. So Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) told the Center for America Progress: “These health insurance companies and people like them are trying to load these town hall meetings for visual impact on television.” But when actual journalists have reported on who is showing up at these events, they are telling a different story. Reporting on events in Pennsylvania and Texas, the New York Times describes the protests as “organized by loose-knit coalition of conservative voters and advocacy groups.”

Unlike the Dems, who gin up "protests" by their paid astroturf groups--witness the one planned for today in Chicago Federal Plaza--Americans at townhalls are there because they care about what is happening in their country, and are outraged at the push by the Dems for a massive big government takeover of even life and death decisions.

And this is not the only disinformation the Dems are pushing, while accusing our side of it--pretty pathetic though. Politico via Powerline. Ah yes, our President Barack Obama's own words can't be taken at face value--gee, aren't we to believe him when he says let me be clear? Don't words mean things? And how to explain this coming reality if ObamaCare passes?

Tea Party counterprotest today! Should we bring shovels to clean up after Schakowsky and her cronies?

P.S. One of the key questions posed by Heritage to Dems in Congress--which we need an answer to:

Can you promise that government bureaucrats will not ration health care for patients on the public plan? President Obama promised on July 22 that health care reform would keep the government out of health care decisions, but both the House and Senate bills call for an increased role of comparative effectiveness research (CER). More information on health care effectiveness is good, as long as doctors and patients are the ones empowered to use that information. Conservatives in both the House and Senate offered amendments prohibiting the use of CER by government to mandate, deny, or ration care. These anti-rationing amendments were defeated in both the House and Senate.

Call your Congressman--ask when they are holding townhalls or other events during this recess period--the time set aside to listen to their constituents.
