It's so pathetic that freaking COLBERT is one of the only ones talking about the fake grassroots

[SemiCharmedQuark]

His word: "Hippie Replacement". He showed ABC interviewing FreedomWorks to prove that the grassroots movement is real. He covered the memo talking about how the RWers should disrupt meetings. He showed FOX Beck, Malkin and Hannity using the "grassroots" to show what the people really want, sans the people.

Stewart was good too, but he fell back on the idea that the RWers are functioning in a Democracy so that it is their right to be there. This is true, but it still doesn't feel right that they can scream and shout over and disrupt the experience for other people.

1. To Be Fair - Olbermann and Maddow Did Cover This Tonight

I do think that they don't cover the subject of healthcare nearly enough, but the past two days have been refreshing.

3. Yes, I think the facts are getting out.

But coverage from the MSM would be helpful in turning the light on all the way.

12. So did Jon Stewart with Waxman tonight, as has Lawrence O'Donnell subbing for Ed Schultz On MSNBC

And Ed Schultz will absolutely pick it up when he returns, even PBS has....On liberal radio, Hartmann, Malloy, Miller, Randi, Goldman and all the rest of the radio progressives have as well....and it's on Huffington Post and everywhere on the Internet....But Fox, CNN, ABC, NBC (besides MSNBC) and CBS as always and predictable have ignore it...corporations stick together, it's how they keep the populace dumb & uninformed.

We have to make noise, donate, work hard and keep Public Option as the number one story & issue!

[WCGreen]

2. It should be CNN, CBS, ABC and NBC nightly news talking about this...

Not comedians.

8. ABC is part of the problem...initerviewing FreedomWatch on the legitimacy of the organizations??

Matthews comparing them to Iranian protesters?

5. Imagine if there was a mob of young black males shouting at a Republican's townhall event

Hmmmmmmm......

Something tells me the authorities wouldn't take kindly to such behavior.

Welcome to 'Murka.

6. ...and that is exactly the argument they are using on YouTube comments

"RWers are functioning in a Democracy so that it is their right to be there."

[SemiCharmedQuark]

7. So how do any congress people ever get to speak with constituents?

[AspenRose]

10. That's just it...they don't want them to speak

They would rather bully everybody (either the congresscritter or the constituents) and try to get them to shut up.

But they like playing victim, so they'll pull the "oh we live in a Democracy and I deserve (demand) to be heard (but no one else does)" crap.

9. Heard a local NPR report on it today--pretty straight up news story nt

[SeattleGirl]

11. Just watched a bit of the Ed Show replay, and Lawrence O'Donnell,

subbing for Ed, talked about it at the top of the show.

13. And Maddow, And Olbameran , And Ed....
