Dems Allege GOP is Orchestrating Health Care Reform Protests

The Detroit News has a story in the paper today called "Dems allege GOP is orchestrating health care reform protests." It is a fascinating look into the bizarro world that we live in, where up is down and good is evil.

According to the story, grassroots protests all around the nation are shutting down Democrat's attempts to hold townhall meetings. These Democrats are upset that citizens are showing up and expressing their displeasure at the awful bill that they have created, and so these Democrats close their eyes and yell that everyone who is against them is a bad person sent there in a giant conspiracy theory.

Apparently Democrats all over the nation are alleging, without any evidence, that Republicans are orchestrating these protests. Republicans, who couldn't even orchestrate election victories last year, are now so good at bringing together independents and citizens that they are getting thousands of different groups of people all over the nation to show up at random times and events and all have the same message- that this health care reform proposal is so bad that it just isn't bad, it is shouting angry upset bad. Yeah, right.

The real story is that the Democrats produced a bad piece of legislation, and the system still works- citizens can show up to protest it. I hope the system works- Democrats might just ignore the people and shut down town meetings and vote whichever way the special interests who have bought them want them to vote.

The funniest part to me of the story the Detroit News runs is the part where Democrat President Obama, who rather than creating good legislation or conducting good diplomacy, has time to send out an email to his special interest group urging them to show up at meetings and support the health care bill. He alleges that citizens are taking to the airwaves and going to these meetings to block it, and urges his special interest groups to do that and more, because what the citizens are doing is wrong.

Let me repeat that- the highest Democrat in the land is trying to orchestrate health care reform protests. Hello pot, I'm the kettle, and you're black!
