The Democratic National Committee (DNC) accused Republicans of fueling "mob rule" by way of encouraging conservative protesters of Democratic lawmakers and the Obama administration across the country.The people who accused Sen. Obama of being a socialist believe he was a socialist.
DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse brought out the heavy artillery in a lengthy statement issued late Tuesday blasting the GOP and enablers in interest groups for spurring the protests.
"The Republicans and their allied groups — desperate after losing two consecutive elections and every major policy fight on Capitol Hill — are inciting angry mobs of a small number of rabid right wing extremists funded by K Street Lobbyists to disrupt thoughtful discussions about the future of health care in America taking place in Congressional Districts across the country," Woodhouse said in a statement.
The statement comes on the heels of townhalls and events in districts across the country, where House lawmakers are on August recess, at which conservative activists have often engaged in raucous protests.
Woodhouse likened the crowds to those during the 2008 presidential campaign who accused then-Sen. Obama of being a "socialist," out of which he said the "birther" movement was born.
And they still do. He certainly hasn't done anything with his policies to dispel that notion.
It's funny that when Democrats act up (like Code Pink, MoveOn and others) it's considered a grassroots movement reflecting the will of the people. When Republicans act up it's a carefully choreographed stunt led and financed by evil corporations.
The Democrats pray that's true for their greatest fear is a genuine voter revolt.
And that's what I think is happening.
