MEMBER DIARY

The AFL-CIO and HCAN Plan Townhall Counterattack

From the diaries by Erick

Liberals have been rattled by the effectiveness of anti-Obamacare protests. We must not relent because we have some momentum. There is plenty of time left in this battle and the Left wing activists are about to launch an organized counterattack.

‘Health Care For America Now’ released a memo on August 4th entitled – Responding To Right Wing Attacks. Must Read. The AFL-CIO announced that is joining their effort and is urging other unions to join as well. They are planning a thirty day counterattack at townhall meetings to disrupt “tea-bagger” efforts. There is little doubt the unions are being mobilized to intimidate and harass. Must Read.

Their macro-national strategy is to ridicule the anti-Obamacare protesters and turn them into a mockery. True to form, the mainstream media is carrying water for Obama and his acolytes and perpetuating this line of attack.

Now, there will be real thugs, real mobs, and real organized paid operatives on the scene. The mainstream media will no doubt turn a blind eye towards the origins, motives and transgressions of these Left wing activists. But we must persevere through this hot, simmering, August recess and fight on.

In honor of the arrival of football season; time to lace ‘em up and strap ‘em on.

    Late to the field … The ambushes at the townhalls were America’s wake up call.

    This IS the moment. The future of America hangs in the balance. August 2009 will go down in history books as a pivotal time in American history.

    The question is will we come out of it with Liberty or Tyranny?

    Union “thugs” shouting down the elderly. If you notice in all of the videos we’ve seen from the townhalls, the protesters are generally at the least late middle-age to senior citizens.

    Nothing like union thugs beatin’ up old people to get your point across.

      to pose as anti-ObamaCare people and start violence. The other paid “volunteer” they traveled with will be ready to get video that will be delivered to ABCCBSNBCCNNMSNBC as soon as they depart.

      Obama/Pelosi/etc. will already have speeches prepared decrying the violence of the “just say no/keep the status quo” right-wing thugs.

      The Union thugs are already attacking, even OUSIDE the town hall meetings. Arm yourselves with plenty of video cameras, the truth will out!

      This black guy was doing nothing more than selling “Don’t Tread On Me” flags when the union goons decided to beat him to the ground.

      Please send this link to everyone you know and every blog and website you can think of. All Americans need to see this video for themselves so they will fully understand what is happening to our country.

      Bears repeating. If only the media have video, you are hosed if things go badly.

  • Paul_In_Houston

    I strongly recommend documenting (with video, when possible) all of the occurrences you can, and then goig viral with it.

    Make multiple copies of the strategy listed in the first memo on “right wing attacks” and hand it out to the sympathizers. Show conservatives what these people have planned BEFORE they go on the attack. Don’t be afraid to bring it up to your Congressman and assure him that people who don’t want this health care have not shown up with anything other than their personal concerns and “Just Vote No”.

    Paul in Houston is spot on. In addition, make sure you have someone with a video, preferrably a tall strong individual, who can capture the event and then make sure you can get it on the internet (go viral with it).

    These people are monsters if they are going to send thugs to attack the elderly with their grandchildren… Disgusting.

    Why in the hell are they in favor of a plan that will certainly destroy their great health benefits?

    • olsmithie

      He probably promised something special like the auto bailout to bribe them.

      Personally though, I think he will screw them too before it is over.

      Che’ Gueverra lives! in 47 year old male living in Washington. He is the only one that he would not sacrifice for the cause.
      You- yes. the unions- yes. Himself? Are you kidding, I’m too important, at least that is what Soros told me….

      A lot of the early publcity about the new healthcare plan says it will not apply to the major Unions as it will not apply to the President or Congress. You are about to see the real Obama machine if these guys start showing up at these meetings and I guarantee things will really get ugly now. They accuse us of
      planting folks at the townhalls and now they’re sendiing in thugs to intentionally create problems. Wonder if they’ll be standing outside with clubs as the black panthers did?

    Indeed, we must never relent from this full-fledged assault upon democracy, freedom, capitalism and the very foundation upon which our nation was founded. We must stand steadfast in our resolve. There are already signs our efforts are working. In true to form Democrat fashion, the name-calling has stepped up. Democrats attempt to diminish and belittle those it sees as threats – the protests become “astro-turf,” the protestors, “nazis.” Absurd.

    Keep up the good fight.

    Still loving the “flag@” directive. I sent the memo to them.

    Looking forward to Tsongas D-MA town hall Saturday AM. I’ll report back.
