Thread: Classic tactics don't work in the age of the internet!

Link to story

This should be reported to Obama's "anti-Obama" line. What a joke!



Go to 6:15 on this video

He actually says that he is being paid to attend the town hall meeting. WOW!



Obama must be a gardener because he sure does a lot of planting!

Using children is despicable.



Busing people in to another areas town hall meeting.

They can't find enough supporters in the area so now they've decided to start busing them in and on our dime. ACORN is a taxpayer funded organization. Thanks a lot Obama/Bush boys! Kick them out and never come back!



Organize America busses them in.

Same event with video

Best one yet!

I am seeing a recurring theme here: ASTRO-TURFING. Private citizens come and meet at their own free will while people on the other end are bussed in from another area to create the appearance of support.



This is disgusting.



And now for the violence

And the great ole police do nothing.



I hope it is becoming more and more apparent to the democrats that the real plants at these meetings are coming from the narrow group of people that actually want socialized medicine.



WAKE UP AMERICA.

What? Special interest groups are paying people to attend meetings to further their agendas? You're kidding?

Every one of the founding fathers was a special interest group. We just have more of them now.

I'm confused...And you're ok with that?



So you're ok with a person pretending to be a doctor to garner support for an unpopular healthcare plan? Impersonating a doctor...isn't that a crime.



So you're ok with that guy who went off and spit on that guy and his camera?...another offense that is criminal.



So you're ok with people being paid to attend town hall meetings with your tax dollars?



Please enlighten me on your position instead of making those ignorant comments that add nothing to a conversation.

Nice pic! Haha



I like to come on here and see what the other side is thinking. It seems to be getting more lonely over here on the left don't you think? Glad to see more people waking up to what's going on.

If your not awake by now your a true flat lined liberal with a flat lined IQ to boot.



Some of us have known all along this guy was a disaster.

Hm.... eyedoc83, new member, only 13 posts, never heard of him before - now suddenly

he happens to show up at a critical time in the healthcare debate, and he's pushing

all tne anti-Obama-care stuff up into our faces, WITHOUT pointing to any of the issues

on the pro-Obama-Care side (like the Wendell Potter thing that's in the other thread,

which talks specifically about deceptive advertising in healthcare politics).



What am I supposed to make of this? How do I know this guy's not just a paid shill

for Cigna?



See, this is a HUGE PROBLEM when stuff like this happens. My current understanding is this:



BOTH sides are engaged in the same deceptive tactics and practices.



NEITHER side cares about ME - this is a battle for my body and soul, being waged

BY special interests, FOR special interests.



Because of all the BULLSH*T floating around lately (and all the deceptive tactics and

practices), I no longer know whether anything I'm reading is honest, or planted. I have

no way of making that determination, and that makes the information USELESS!



If all the information I'm getting on this is suspect, then how am I supposed to make

an informed decision? I either have to ignore it ALL, because it's all equally as suspect,

and just "guess" based on what I think I know - OR - I have to spend hours and hours and

hours picking apart EACH piece of input, to find out whether it's accurate or not.



And I don't have hours and hours just now.



So, BOTH sides are losing me, in this debate. I'm getting sufficiently pissed off

by all of this, that I'm going to write my elected representatives and tell 'em that

if they can't address this point, I'm going to vote 'em out of office.



a) I don't want to be assaulted by union thugs when I go to a town hall meeting



I want to have reasonable confidence that what I'm hearing at that meeting is the truth



c) Isn't there a law against false and deceptive advertising?
