We need to get our shit together. We have to have a counter operation.

[Joanne98]

1. I've noticed that a lot of the mob is over 65. I suggest if they don't like socialism

That they give up their social security and medicare.

[Enrique]

2. the anchor says they told Kagen to "keep the government out of their health care"

really? They really want to eliminate Medicare?

[Wapsie B]

3. Or their company pensions that were won for them by those evil liberals

and those dastardly labor unions. Funny how those on the right seem to overlook that.

[Crowman1979]

9. This is the generation that grew when all of the Sen. McCarthy paranoia took place.

13. and they're almost dead

w00t

[bcronos]

22. I'm sure they all would quit Medicare and Social Security if...

I'm sure they all would quit Medicare and Social Security if all the money they were forced to invest in those systems over the decades was returned to them with say, a modest 3% interest added. In fact most of them would then be millionaires and able to afford their own health care... But that involves freedom and smaller government, concepts that are apparently alien to most of the posters here.

24. Don't forget to subtract the Medicare payments...

already made to them, and you might have a deal.

And welcome to DU. :hi:

(:yoiks: said the 7X-poster)

[SKKY]

26. And most of them would have no idea what real socialism looks like...

...I've lived in a Socialist country for 12 of the past 17 years. Even if we do have gov't provided health care, we are a long, long way from being a Socialist country.

[Libertas1776]

4. With age comes

great wisdom...or is it senility? Well, as far as these whiny old reactionaries are concerned, its ignorance. "Keep the gub'mint out of my health care!" Do you know where your medicare comes from? "Of course I don't. No one does. It's like one of those strange mysteries of life that we just can't explain, nor should we." Morons.

10. Those people were Boomers, nothing of great anything has come from most Boomers

[pauldg0]

21. Civil Rights Movement....

[sasquatch]

23. MLK was not a boomer and neither ws Malcolm X

And the backlash movement was filled with Boomers.

5. Here's how to handle it, per Joanne98's other post:

7. A must-read for meeting planners, IMO.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Hissyspit]

8. I can't figure out how we can get this to the people who need it the most without

the GOP and corporate lobby planners hearing about it, too, and coming up with counterplans.

[guruoo]

11. Actually, I believe it would be better to do the opposite with this. ...

Trying to keep it under wraps is impossible, and doing so will only assure that it will end
up being foxcast as 'that 'Democrat' secret memo', 'the librul plan to supress free speech', etc, etc..

So, I say make it viral. Send copies to the media.
Encourage meeting planners to adopt this in some form as defacto progressive policy.

[Hissyspit]

12. I posted this thread. Let me know what you think:

And recommend if you approve.

[guruoo]

14. Done...

I'd send a copy to my congresscritter, but Jimmy Duncan is an R who's opposed to the public healthcare option.

Believe it or not, this is the same Republican Congressman that once had the balls to go against party line and
vote ney to both the Patriot Act, and the Iraq War Resolution.

[TheEuclideanOne]

16. I recommended it.

To be quite honest, I am surprised that it worked so well, but happy to hear it as well. I am happy to see the organization and plans to deal with these disruptions and tactics of the teabaggers, birthers and other scum. I didn't see it listed, but it might also be a good suggestion to be able to turn off people's mic's if they are not following the rules. Overall, it seemed like a very intelligently planned strategy and I am glad to see that it was successful.

[guruoo]

6. We need to make it clear that people will still be free to choose private coverage over

the proposed public (government administered) option.

[ProudDad]

17. "Privatized" health care bureaucrats MUST DIE!!!

Get the fucking "private sector" OUT of health Care Financing!

HR676 - Enhanced and Improved Medicare for All!

[ProudDad]

15. I have an answer for these yahoos...

PM me and I'll tell you...

[ProudDad]

18. The funniest thing is that here in Arizona

the local tea-baggers are sponsoring a meeting with a local Social Security Bureaucrat on...

Planning for your future with Social Security and Medicare!!!

I KID YOU NOT!!!

Ya' can't make this sh*t up!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:



On Edit: Too bad I'm busy tonight -- it's not far from my house and we could go over and disrupt their meeting. Actually, the tea bagger comment line has mostly complainers so they'll probably disrupt their own meeting. How delicious is that??? :rofl:

25. ours don't happen til the end of the month

19. It's not just Republicons that are lying about health care reform.

The Blew Dogs lie, of course, but so do many other Democrats. A lot of Democrats don't want everybody to have health care. They want everybody to have insurance. The two are not one in the same. One heals you when you are sick or injured and the other takes your money and, in return, does everything it can to prevent you from getting health care.

[bkkyosemite]

20. That is a deliberate attempt to disturb the peace of the town hall meeting. Angry uninformed or lied

to people who are causing distubance at the town halls. Arrest them. Dems were arrested for far less at the RNC and caged!
