VIDEO: ROBERT GIBBS PLAYS IGNORANT ON SNITCH BRIGADE

On Wednesday, the White House posted the flag@whitehouse.gov email on its website and encouraged the Obamautomatons to REPORT anyone who disagrees with Obama-care whether that disagreement is communicated via email, web postings, or casual conversation.

Today, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs played Stupid.

VIDEO: DALLAS AARP MEETING GETS HEATED

BEAUTIFUL to watch. Meeting starts out with a lady facilitating an AARP meeting in Dallas and she was on the defensive from the git go. Best part of the video is when she attempts to cancel the meeting and leaves.

Problem was that the meeting kept going and her spot at the podium was filled by someone else. After apparently not liking what she was witnessing, the original facilitator came back and took her microphone like a kid who after failing to effectively shut down his sandbox returns to take back his Tonka truck.

Best quote of the video:
"We didn't mean to take over this meeting. We came to ask questions. They left."

VIDEO: HITLER RANTS ABOUT OBAMA-CARE

Courtesy of Doug From Upland at Free Republic. There have been other Hitler rant videos in the past but this may top them all because of how salient the subject matter is coupled with Obama's minions being called on to report their fellow citizens for having the audacity to disagree.

"Enjoy" may be the wrong word but........enjoy.

EMAIL DEAD FISH PHOTO TO WHITE HOUSE

This one is SO APPROPRIATE on multiple levels. I Wish I could take credit for it but it came from a listener to KCRS 550 in Midland who suggested that people send email photos of dead fish to the White House email address.

Of course, the WHITE HOUSE WANTS YOU to report anything "fishy" and we also have the Rahm Emanuel dead fish angle.

In case you need to email address, it's flag@whitehouse.gov

LOUD PROTESTS IN FORT LAUDERDALE AND ARKANSAS

What happens when Democrats don't do Town Halls because they don't want to deal with angry voters? In Broward county, FL (Fort Lauderdale area), taxpayers apparently decided to create one where their congressman's staffers routinely hold a monthly meeting at the local library.

THE MIAMI HERALD reports:

Though only a handful of constituents typically show up at the Lighthouse Point public library once a month with questions for U.S. Rep. Ron Klein's staffers -- often questions about Social Security checks or passport applications -- this time about 100 people packed the room for two hours.

The group was rowdy, rude and fired up about healthcare.

``Where the hell is Klein?'' demanded Republican activist Ana Gomez-Mallada, even though the congressman was not scheduled to be there. Others branded him a ``coward'' and a ``communist.''

What message does it send when a congressman sends out his underlings to confront angry taxpayers? That's why Klein is stepping to the plate and doing his town hall via conference call.

He brushed off suggestions that he is trying to duck face-to-face encounters.

``I will compare my record on town hall meetings with anyone in the Congress,'' Klein said. ``I've always been very out there and willing to meet with people, and we're going to continue to do that.''

Klein argued that ``tele-town halls'' allow him to reach more people. He said he also will make numerous public appearances. A June meeting at Boca Raton Community Hospital drew about 75 people, his office says, while about 2,600 participated in a phone call on homeowners insurance last month.

Talk about pathetic.

How about Mike Ross in Arkansas? THE AP REPORTS:

At one point, U.S. Rep. Mike Ross sat with his head in his hands while the crowd shouted. He and fellow Democratic Rep. Vic Snyder told audience members at a forum at Arkansas Children's Hospital that they wouldn't support a completely government-run, single-payer health insurance plan. But that's what Obama wants!" an audience member shouted, leading to more heckling.

REP. LLOYD DOGGETT HOLDING TWO MORE TOWN HALLS

The Austin American Statesman is reporting that Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Austin (D) is pressing forward with two more town halls. Dogget, as you may remember, arrived home from D.C. to shouts of, "Just Say NO!".

He then went on Hardball with Leg Tingle and said such protests just strengthen his resolve in supporting Obama-Care.

DOGGETT PLANS LOCAL EVENTS
Thursday, August 06, 2009

Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, invites the public to talk to him about health care plans being debated in Congress at:

2 p.m. today at the Montopolis Veterans Outreach Clinic, 2901 Montopolis Drive.

11:15 a.m. Saturday at the Rundberg Health Center, 825 E. Rundberg Lane.

Doggett also plans health discussions with Austin teachers and school staff at the Holiday Inn Town Lake, 20 N. Interstate 35, at 12:30 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. Tuesday.

Reps. Michael McCaul, R-Austin, John Carter, R-Round Rock, and Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, don't have immediate Austin-area events scheduled, their offices said.

Here is the video of Doggett exhibiting downright arrogance with Leg Tingle.

VICTORY: U.S. PULLS BACK ON SUPPORTING ZELAYA

Two lessons should have been learned here. 1.) When you know you're right, DO NOT COMPROMISE and 2.) Even when the odds couldn't be longer, when you're right and you stand up to a bully, the bully can still back down. It's just their default position when they're sufficiently challenged.

REUTERS is reporting that the U.S. has decided to "soften support" for ousted leader Manuel Zelaya. Quoting from a letter written by the U.S. State Department to Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN):

"Our policy and strategy for engagement is not based on supporting any particular politician or individual. Rather, it is based on finding a resolution that best serves the Honduran people and their democratic aspirations," Richard Verma, assistant secretary for legislative affairs, said in the letter.

Or how about this?

"We also recognize that President Zelaya's insistence on undertaking provocative actions contributed to the polarization of Honduran society and led to a confrontation that unleashed the events that led to his removal."

That is a MAJOR shift for the Obama administration and an admission of political defeat.

This is an AMAZING testament to the current government of Honduras, led by Roberto Micheletti. After the Congressional, Judicial, and Military branches of Honduras agreed that sitting president Manuel Zelaya was violating the Constitution, they had him removed on June 28th.

What happened next is really what is amazing. With the pressure of literally the entire world (U.N., U.S., the Organization of American States, Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega, and the Castro brothers) all backing Zelaya, Micheletti could have understandably buckled. He did not. At one point, the only two nations supporting his government were Taiwan and Israel.

In an effort to "mediate a compromise", the Costa Rican president was charged with working out a solution between Zelaya and Micheletti. Micheletti simply would not budge on the most important issue, which was returning Zelaya to power. The answer was "no" and he was not changing it.

As time went by and facts were revealed, it became more and more apparent that Zelaya was the thug Micheletti's government insisted he was. Even a cursory look at the facts early on would have told any honest broker that. Obama chose to support Zelaya and called his removal an "illegal" coup. However, day by day Zelaya was becoming more radioactive. To illustrate, contrast Zelaya taking a megaphone down to the Honduran border with Nicaragua and actually stepping onto Honduran soil to make a statement with a MICHELETTI OP-ED that appeared in the Wall Street Journal and enumerated all Zelaya had done illegally. Supporting Zelaya was not only looking more and more untenable but also very dangerous politically.

This change in stance is also very telling about how the Obama administration sees itself right now. It's been wounded in the health care debate and has chosen some very bizarre tactics in dealing with its opponents on that issue. Backing away from Zelaya is probably more about stopping the bleeding political capital somewhere (anywhere) than it was a heartfelt admission that Micheletti was right. Obama is on his heels and this "change" in stance is yet another indicator.

As this has been playing out over the last month, I likened the Micheletti stand to a political version of the Alamo because of how many forces were against them. At the risk of overstating it, in this case, the guys inside the metaphorical Alamo actually prevailed.

Pretty amazing what happens when you stand on principle, ain't it?
