It was just, oh not even a few days ago, that the Obama administration and the DNC and the liberal left was crying fowl over the grassroots rise against politicians pushing Health Care. “They must be manufactured” they cried. “This cannot be spontaneous, this MUST be orchestrated! People LOVE our HC plans. Ignore the polls. Ignore logic, RIGHT WING, RIGHT WING, ANGRY WHITES GRAAAAAAH”
It was the same argument against the Tea Parties where those wacky liberals were claiming FOX News and the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy were rounding up racists and rednecks to form fake protests. So the story is simple, SURE there are people protesting but they don’t really believe what they are saying because it is all just theater. If there is one thing liberals know, it is theater.
Today the narrative has suddenly shifted. Recognizing that the American people are not happy with the President’s “MUST DO THIS NOW” push toward socialized medicine, the story has changed. Fighting back against the average citizens liberals have brought their own actors to the scene. SEIU, ACORN, MoveOn.org and the like have been hired to counter those citizens who would dare question authority!
You see, liberals can easily suspect the right of employing the dirty trick of creating an outraged mob out of thin air, they do it all the time. Anywhere Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton go, so goes the paid liberal mob. When MoveOn.org needs a helping hand, they rouse the mob. Someone says something on TV or radio that is offensive? Give the mob a phone number and tell them to demand, demand, demand.
So now the narrative has switched. Instead of the Obama administration asking for Americans to spy on their neighbors, the liberal left has stepped in. They are asking their own people to simply shout their neighbors down. They will now be at every town hall and crash every protest. Hired guns ready to ratchet up the tension. They will undoubtedly dress their own in swastikas and have them shouting as loud as possible for our side. Why? To give the newspapers pretty pictures and to control the view.
Listen to the arguments on TV now. They have all been the same. Instead of extremist mob mentality they now acknowledge, “this is political theater, this is the way things are done. This is the way it always has been done, this is the way it always will.” That is because their own hired guns are out in force using the same tactics, only they really do have the organization and we don’t. They cannot go on television and say, “protest is mob mentality” because it is one of their most exploited tactics.
The new argument is, “left or right both sides are doing it and so the actions of each cancel one another out.” What that really means is, “Don’t investigate our own ties, how SEIU and ACORN got a President elected and knocked a Queen from her thrown in the Democratic primaries.” The show is over, the angry mob of the right replaced with genuine political debate. Debate they will say, “We are now winning because the forces on the side of socialized Health Care are much louder at these meetings. They will argue that every question now is, “why we aren’t doing more! We LOVE socialized medicine!”
Mediocrity is the new narrative, this has all been done before and will all be done again. Forget our overreaches in trying to destroy the opposite, forget our loony statements about suit wearing extremists and swastikas. This is all just a distraction we don’t condone and we want to get to, “The serious work of the American people.” It is their depraved notion of what leadership actually is.
Just watch as the language and the arguments change.
