EDITOR OF REDSTATE

The Kathy Castor Event Was Officially Hosted by SEIU

RESIZE: AAA

There are a few points that are worth noting:

  1. Kathy Castor was able to keep this event off her official schedule and under the radar until the last minute because she was not hosting it.
  2. The SEIU was all in from the very beginning with this event.
  3. Betty Reed tried to have Florida taxpayers pay for the event and printing of the invitation. She was denied by the legislature because of SEIU involvement.
  4. Had it not been for RedState, Rush Limbaugh, and others, Kathy Castor would have been able to sail through last night talking only to union goons without having to answer to her voters.

    Do these Democrats believe that these kind of tactics and abuse of its voting base will endear them to winning anything in 2010?

    I never thought I would live to see a sitting POTUS and his White House encourage his cultists supporters to shut down open debate.Obama it would seem is using his shut down debate and clear the field tactics as per the Chicago political text book.

    We have now arrived at a time when decent Democrats must distance themselves from this kind of thuggery or they will follow Obama into a wilderness that will keep them in opposition again for a VERY long time.

    I’ll just have to offer to HOST a town hall in my home.

    2010 will rapidly move from a potentially bad election for dems where they might be able to limit losses to a slaughter of unprecedented scale (even 1994).

    I can see how their play could work – rely heavily on the MSM to not just cover up their thug tactics (already happening) but also to emphatically portray union violence as being initiated by conservatives (let’s see how the carnahan video plays out in the next couple days).

    The reason I think that strategy will ultimately fail is people are waking up. The MSM controls information only to the extent that people are lazy – easy enough to find facts but you do have to search for them. During the 08 election I think too many people didn’t bother to do any research, thus the MSM had a de facto control of information. That is changing now and their tactics will fail.
