OBAMA ORDERING BULLY TACTICS

Is Obama telling the Senate through his minions how to handle town hall meetings to best defuse protests against his health care plan? It would appear so although the White House chose term it with the Orwellian "pep talk" label. THE POLITICO reported:

Senior White House adviser David Axelrod and deputy chief of staff Jim Messina told senators to focus on the insured and how they would benefit from “consumer protections" in the overhaul, such as ending the practice of denying insurance based on preexisting conditions and ensuring the continuity of coverage between jobs.

They showed video clips of the confrontational town halls that have dominated the media coverage, and told senators to do more prep work than usual for their public meetings by making sure their own supporters turn out, senators and aides said.

Anyone remember Axelrod's specialty? Word games and astroturfing campaigns. AXELROD'S PR FIRM practically invented the tactic.

The most alarming revelation of what Axelrod and Messina told the Senators came from Messina, who allegedly said: “If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard.” Has anyone noticed what ACORN and SEIU is doing at these town hall meetings?

In St. Louis, police have allegedly already arrested SEIU thugs. GATEWAY PUNDIT provides the video.
