From Alinsky to Axelrod: Pro-ObamaCare Protesters Were Bused In for NH Town Hall

Amplify’d from directorblue.blogspot.com
Nazi Posters Were Carried in by Democrat Plants 
“I don’t want people thinking I just have a bunch of plants in here” — President Barack H. Obama, 11 August 2009, describing the highly scripted New Hampshire “Town Hall” meeting.
Meanwhile, Obama’s paid minions — the public sector union bosses, the community agitators, the trial lawyers and other beneficiaries of socialized medicine — were busy busing in counter-protesters to balance out the thousand-plus enraged taxpayers who are watching their liberty disappear like sand in an hourglass.
So it’s like this: your non-representative representatives in DC are lining up with the taxtakers against you, the taxpayers.
David Axelrod (who Business Week profiled as an inventor of astroturf in 2008) and Barack H. Obama are the disciples of Communist Saul Alinsky.
Note the black man holding up the poster.

One of Obama’s early mentors in the Alinsky method was Mike Kruglik, who had this to say to an Ryan Lizza of The New Republic, about Obama:

“He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better.”

The agitator’s job, according to Alinsky, is first to bring folks to the “realization” that they are indeed miserable, that their misery is the fault of unresponsive governments or greedy corporations, then help them to bond together to demand what they deserve…

Note the black man holding up the poster. This screenshot was used in reports by the MSM who painted the protesters as Nazis. Here’s the thing, though - that black man is a Dingell supporter! Last Friday, Frank Beckmann on his show broadcast on WJR 760 AM interviewed an eyewitness that said not only were union thugs let in through a side door before anyone else was let into the venue, but that he clearly saw from his vantage point that very Obama as Hitler poster in that back hallway after the union thugs took their seats.

…A couple that were at [Dingell's] meeting said there was a black man outside with a sign comparing Obama [with] Adolf Hitler. After the meeting ended and when everyone was leaving this same man was handing out [Dingell] campaign flyers.

Rearranging the Deck Chairs

• Bankruptcies just hit their highest monthly total in four years, 126,434 in July. This represents a 34% increase year-over-year and an 8.7% increase from June.
• Job losses continue at a horrific pace: “Over 400,000 people disappeared from the workforce last month - they gave up, dropping the participation rate. That’s where the ‘improvement’ in the jobs number came from.”
Unemployment is rising, despite the slight drop in the official U-2 rate (9.5% to 9.4%). As the accompanying Calculated Risk graph illustrates, the employed percentage of the population continues to drop
• Government Spending Has Skyrocketed: “Annualized, the $181 billion deficit increase in July alone is approaching one half of the full year 2008 deficit - in one month - and Treasury has announced it is going to sell almost half that much again this week in new Treasury issuance - that is, yet more deficit.”

Meanwhile, Tax Revenues Have Plummeted: “Tax revenue for the first three quarters of 2009 has fallen by approximately $350 billion, or 17 percent compared to the same period last year… Unemployment benefits have more than doubled, Medicaid spending has grown by a quarter and Medicare spending has increased by 11 percent.”

The S&P 500 is wildly overvalued using any conventional measure: The S&P 500’s price-to-earnings (PE) is over 140 today. It was over 100 during the first quarter of 2009, “a level never before reached in the index’s history”.
‘Cash for Clunkers’ is a Disaster: While the sycophants of stimulus are crowing about an 11.5 million unit annualized sales rate for (for July and August), 80% of the top-selling models are foreign. Typical of Politburo-style, centralized planning efforts, the unintended consequences of the program have yet to be felt; “..what of the lower-income Americans who depended on those cars - the clunkers - to be able to afford any transportation at all? Are they supposed to walk - or starve? When I was younger I was one of those individuals; today, this program would have left me unable to afford a car so I could get to work. I’m sure all the college students and recent grads, struggling to find a job, are saying ‘Thanks Mr. President for destroying all the cars we could afford to buy.’”

The ‘Green Jobs’ Myth: “…experts in economics and the energy industry say having more people work in alternative energy will actually lower our standard of living, by making energy more expensive.” James Hamilton, a professor of economics at UC San Diego, calls the assertion that funding green jobs will improve employment a “pretense”.

he following is not an overstatement: the current Democrat leadership is on course to bankrupt the United States of America.

No cuts in the size of government: it keeps growing. No cuts in federal spending: all of the programs just keep growing. No cuts in federal hiring, salaries, bonuses or benefits: their workforce just keeps growing, on the taxpayer’s dime.

Democrats are destroying the economic future of this country, piece by piece; mortgaging the next generation without permission of those affected; nationalizing industry after industry; spending like drunken liberals; and issuing edict after edict, regulation after regulation through dozens of unaccountable ‘czars’ who are literally strangling the real economy.

The hard left wing of the Democrat party must be politically punished in 2010 if we are to save this country.
