DNC Disinformation Emails Being Frantically Sent to Evaporating Obama Cultists
Here's the text of the DNC email that is being frantically sent to non-mobs of Democrats so that...mobs of Obama cultists can somehow materialize without being organized? I don't know - they're the ones who are flailing.
Anyway, see what is being orchestrated against you - the American people - by the well-funded denizens of the DNC:
There’s been a lot of media coverage about organized mobs intimidating lawmakers, disrupting town halls, and silencing real discussion about the need for real health insurance reform.
The truth is, it’s a sham. These “grassroots protests” are being organized and largely paid for by Washington special interests and insurance companies (they decline to name any, because there aren't any -ed.) who are desperate to block reform. They’re trying to use lies and fear to break the President and his agenda for change (she hasn't obviously seen the fearmongering, unintentionally hilarious ad her own organization released today -ed.).
Health insurance reform is about our lives, our jobs, and our families — we can’t let distortions and intimidation get in the way. We need to expose these outrageous tactics, and we’re counting on you to help. Can you read these “5 facts about the anti-reform mobs,” then pass them along to your friends and family?
5 facts about the anti-reform anti-government takeover "mobs."
1. These disruptions are being funded and organized by out-of-district special-interest groups and insurance companies who fear that health insurance reform could help Americans (no, they aren't, but lies and DNC fearmongering are more fun than facts -ed.), but hurt their bottom line.
A group run by the same folks who made the “Swiftboat” ads against John Kerry is compiling a list of congressional events in August to disrupt. An insurance company coalition has stationed employees in 30 states to track where local lawmakers hold town-hall meetings. (again, she doesn't mention any by name, meaning that she doesn't know of any because she's lying and she'd be sued if she did name one -ed.)
2. People are scared because they are being fed frightening lies. These crowds are being riled up by anti-reform lies being spread by industry front groups (who in industry? -ed.) that invent smears to tarnish the President’s plan and scare voters. But as the President has repeatedly said, health insurance reform will create more health care choices for the American people, not reduce them (false - Obama himself has said, on multiple occasions, that the aim is to get single-payer health care instituted, which is by definition anti-choice. -ed.). If you like your insurance or your doctor, you can keep them, and there is no “government takeover” in any part of
any plan supported by the President or Congress. (also a lie - Obama wants
single-payer care, which is government-run -ed.)3. Their actions are getting more extreme (yes, protesting and dissenting, once "the highest form of patriotism" under Bush, is "extreme." -ed.). Texas protesters brought signs displaying a tombstone for Rep. Lloyd Doggett and using the “SS” symbol to compare President Obama’s policies to Nazism. Maryland Rep. Frank Kratovil was hanged in effigy outside his district office (Sarah Palin was hanged in effigy outside a home during the campaign last fall, and her church was burned to the ground. Where was the DNC email? -ed.). Rep. Tim Bishop of New York had to be escorted to his car by police after an angry few disrupted his town hall meeting — and more examples like this come in every day. And they have gone beyond just trying to derail the President’s health insurance reform plans, they are trying to “break” the President himself and ruin his Presidency. (liberals during the Bush years, on the other hand, wanted Bush to succeed in everything he did, without
question. Look! A unicorn! -ed.)4. Their goal is to disrupt and shut down legitimate conversation. Protesters have routinely shouted down representatives trying to engage in constructive dialogue with voters, and done everything they can to intimidate and silence regular people who just want more information.
One attack group has even published a manual instructing protesters to “stand up and shout” and try to “rattle” lawmakers to prevent them from talking peacefully with their constituents. (the left and Democrat activists, on the other hand, were
never guilty of this during the Bush years. EVER. -ed.)5. Republican leadership is irresponsibly cheering on the thuggish crowds. (GO OUT THERE AND GET IN THEIR FACES - Barack Obama (D) -ed.) Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner issued a statement applauding and promoting a video of the disruptions and looking forward to “a long, hot August for Democrats in Congress.” (poor widdle babies have to hear from the people they work for who they're ignoring and insulting - call the waaahmbulance -ed.)
It’s time to expose this charade, (see text of this email for the real charade -ed.) before it gets more dangerous. Please send these facts to everyone you know. You can also post them on your website, blog, or Facebook page. (in other words, organize, organize, organize while we pretend the opposition is somehow not allowed to. -ed.)
Now, more than ever, we need to stand strong together and defend the truth. (the truth is, this Obamacare plan raises the deficit, decreases quality, increases costs, limits choice, puts the government in charge of rationing care and destroys private insurance. And Americans know it. -ed.)

Keep a sharp lookout out for those dangerous mobs this summer, America! Don't want people protesting the government and exercising their First Amendment rights, do we?
BOO!
