It was not that long ago that Barack Obama told a crowd of 1,500 supporters in Elko, Nev., to challenge those who disagree with them and him: "I want you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independents or Republicans. I want you to argue with them."

President Obama spoke then as the community organizer he was — a true disciple of Saul Alinsky who worked with and for Acorn in the days when they were storming banks and government meetings to force them to ditch creditworthiness as a criteria and forcing them to issue loans to those who couldn't afford them.

The president is familiar with the Alinsky way, the Chicago way, of organizing a group to act. Obama spent years prodding underprivileged Chicagoans to channel their political anger by orchestrating activist mob scenes designed to coerce businesses and public officials. A 2007 profile in the left-leaning New Republic was titled "The Agitator." He's still at it. [Getting In Their Faces For A Change]

No sooner did that IBD editorial hit the pavement, when our distinctly gang oriented Administration brandished  switch blades and zip guns.  Again. 
White House to Democrats: 'Punch back twice as hard'

Top White House aides gave Senate Democrats a recess battle plan on Thursday, arming the lawmakers with tips for avoiding disastrous town hall meetings while showing them polling on popular aspects of the reform effort.

Senior White House adviser David Axelrod and deputy chief of staff Jim Messina told senators to focus on the insured and how they would benefit from “consumer protections" in the overhaul, such as ending the practice of denying insurance based on preexisting conditions and ensuring the continuity of coverage between jobs.

They showed video clips of the confrontational town halls that have dominated the media coverage, and told senators to do more prep work than usual for their public meetings by making sure their own supporters turn out, senators and aides said.

And they screened TV ads and reviewed the various campaigns by critics of the Democratic plan.

“If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard,” Messina said, according to an official who attended the meeting.

There are signs that America is waking up; realizing what a horrible mistake it made.  Let's hope it continues to a peaceable political solution.  There has to be an ending other than national subjugation by tyrants.

What would happen if everyone e-mailed the flag address and turned themselves in? Would we just be asking for trouble from BHE? Just wondering.

Right out of the 'Rise and Fall of the Third Reich'. The rise part, I mean.

...When you're a Red, you're a Red all the way, 'cause your mom shared her bed with the Red's of her day...

...A Wookie, I just met a girl who's a Wookie...

...I was not born in America, but I want to lead in America, so I must fake birth in America, now you must call me President Obama...

...There's a place for it, A time and a place for it, follow me and we're halfway there, Obama-care, somewhere...

...Dear Mr. Rush Limbaugh, you gotta understand, my mom was just a Commie whore, and I'm from another land...

Perfect -- wish I'd done it.

From my somewhat distorted viewpoint, we are at a turning point. The current WH resident has determined to change the most successful country in the world to his own desire.
He is finally meeting resistance. We are at a 'them that has, wants to keep it' vs 'them that don't have and wants to take it' meeting point. Notice the makeup of the imported thugs, the attitude that their chants evoked, that they were *due* stuff. The Wun has invigorated class envy, and unknowingly has awakened the very voters he so proposed to represent, and, protect from 'No Mo Tax Increases, and a tax cut if you make under $250K, or $200K or $100K I ferget. [wish I know how to do strikeout text..]'
People sat still, well sort of, for the bailouts, the GM and Chryco ripoffs, and the "recovery" plan. Now, he is getting too close to directly affecting a lot of people. They no likee, and their response was met with thuggery. That won't sell.
