GOP strategy - disrupted Dem town hall meetings

[RadiomanATL]

HEREIN lies your gross ignorance...there is a VAST difference between constructive debate; challenging a representative on ISSUES and POLICY vs. busing in people trained and coached for the SOLE purpose of DISRUPTING a town hall meeting so no one can have a civil debate...

If the policies can't stand the debate, then they aren't worth having.

I don't think the disruptor's are shouting out the recipe to Mrs Butterworths famous syrup. I got a feeling that it's about the issue. Just a hunch. And if the politicians can't stand it, well thats just too f'ing bad.

Sorry, but these crowds represent a bunch of fools who sit around their local taverns and kitchen tables getting all ginned up by telling each other how the country's going to hell in a handbasket. OH YEAH!!!! I HEAR'ED THERE WAS A DIMORAT TOWN HALL MEETING TODAY!! LET'S ALL GRAB A BEER AND A SIGN AND GO KICK SOME ASS!!

I'll bet if I asked any one of them to give me a logical explanation (LOGICAL) as to why they're so pissed off, I would get nothing more than a bunch of hummina hummina hummina...OBAMA ISN'T A CITIZEN...type of bullshit. They are not interested in listening to ANYONE.

Still haven't read the memo, huh?

 

[RadiomanATL]

WHAT part of:
– Be Disruptive Early And Often: “

– Try To “Rattle Him,” Not Have An Intelligent Debate:

do you need an explanation on???

Oh yeah. BTW, those little quotes in red were a characterization of the memo by the leftist site thinkprogress. They weren't part of the memo itself. The memo actually states:





I see absolutely nothing wrong with any of this. Thinkprogress was just trying to slander the oppositions attempt at a national debate. Too bad their characterization is completely wrong to anyone who actually reads the memo.

THIS part...if people are bused in, HOW are they part of that TOWN??????????????

Townhall is a format. Not necessarily specific to that town. The issues that are being debated are national ones. Too bad if the politicians can't stand the debate.

Yeah, right, that's like instructing a bunch of 3-year olds not to get all excited at a birthday party. There are stories of unruly behavior all over the internet.

Ok, so your argument has been shown to be bullshit, so now moving on to strawmen, huh?

Hint: The original post was faux outrage about a memo detailing organized townhall resistance.

 

[Xenophon]

Do the leftists on this board all jump on the rumor and spin bandwagon without actually reading the thing themselves? Seems to be.

Not all of them, but there are some real ideolouges here.

Here's today's GOP...their agenda; destroy the enemy...but, the enemy is our President who was elected BY the people...so Senator, what you're really saying; the REAL enemy is We the People...

YouTube - Sen. Jim DeMint calls defeating Obama like Waterloo


Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.
Barry Goldwater (R) – Late Senator & Father of the Conservative movement

Good....

Getting your ass handed to you on the knee-jerk premise of the OP??.....Just change the subject.

and thats typical for this moronic peabrain

 

[RadiomanATL]

Oh, so YOU are declaring victory huh? WOW, what a courageous act...

Let's recap PEA brain...

We have a group of outsiders that are trained to disrupt town hall meetings held by Democratic House members; which is a way for citizens of THAT district to debate, discuss and ask questions of THEIR district representative on issue that effect THEIR district. These outsiders are trained TO:

– Artificially Inflate Your Numbers:

– Be Disruptive Early And Often:

– Try To “Rattle Him,” Not Have An Intelligent Debate:

WHO is behind this effort to disrupt these town hall meetings? Texas Republican Congressman Pete Sessions...

HIS strategy...

"Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban, and that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person's entire processes. And these Taliban -- I'm not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban. No, that's not what we're saying. I'm saying an example of how you go about [sic] is to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that insurgency may be required when the other side, the House leadership, does not follow the same commands, which we entered the game with."

You right wing pea brains defend WAR, TORTURE and now TERRORISM...

But Democrats are the "radicals"...

YOU are a MORON...

Wow, let's count the lies here:



Lie #1. Nowhere in the memo does it say anything about outsiders. As a matter of fact the memo outlines how people within the district should respond and organize when notice of a future townhall is posted.



Lie #2. The memo only says that the members need to spread out among the hall and sit up front. This is in no way "artificially inflating numbers".



Lie #3. The memo clearly states that the members should not carry on and make a scene.

– Try To “Rattle Him,” Not Have An Intelligent Debate:

Lie #4. The memo clearly states that the members need to be prepared with specific questions pertaining to the issue and also be prepared with a pointed and direct follow up question. This is not, as you characterize, "not having an intelligent debate". If the representative cannot answer a question which pertains to the debate, and this rattles him, well then too damn bad.

You fail. Utterly and completely. You are only embarrassing yourself. Better quit while you are ahead.

Then why aren't they doing that? Simple question.

Just so ya know, my contention has always been that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the strategies outlined in the memo. If people are truly disorderly then they should be escorted out by the authorities. I am not defending them. At all. They are hurtful to the national debate, not helpful. But nice try at changing our little debate here to something it wasn't.

But since you opened up this particular can of worms here, your job in order to back it up now is to post the minutes of all the townhall meetings across the country and show that the majority of the people that are opposed to the representatives position (the "they" in your sentence) descend into shouting matches with the rep or others. Keep in mind all the time that I'm not defending those people one iota.

I mean, since yer painting with a broad brush, the least you can do is back it up.

We'll be waiting...better start hitting google.

 

[RadiomanATL]

So constituents are exercising their freedoms, and unsurprisingly Democrats have a problem with this.

Anything else?

What comes around goes around bitch. I have no illusions that the republican brand name will ever recover from the treason and debauchery perpetrated by you neo cons.

I hope it is political war and you dumb fucks start something you can't stop.

You'll have to define what exactly is coming around or going around for me to make sense of what you are saying.

Dammit Radio...I cannot pos rep you again because I pos repped your post earlier in this thread.

In the future, please attempt to post your most rep worthy thoughts first, followed by thoughts in descending rep worthy order.

This will help alleviated feelings of 'rep regret' in those that pos rep your posts.

Thanks in advance,

MO.

Thanks MO, but I just roll with conversation and see where it goes.

 

[RadiomanATL]

I guess you missed THIS part of the "memo"

We will be travelling the state to provide a similar reality-check for all five of the Reps, and of course Chris Dodd.

Still fail. The context clearly indicates that they will be traveling the state in order to organize the constituents within the district where the townhall is being held.

Well gee, wee one, at least we know where YOU spend the majority of YOUR time--scouring the Internet for cutesy pics you can use to make a statement.

Attack ad hominem now? You out of anything to say, or just jealous I didn't spend time looking for a pic for you?

This is not, as you characterize, "not having an intelligent debate". If the representative cannot answer a question which pertains to the debate, and this rattles him, well then too damn bad.

The problem with this last part is that it's very easy to come up with questions that don't have an easy answer or even no real answer at all.

Sorry, but if the rep can't defend their position, or at the very least gracefully say that he doesn't know the answer, then he doesn't have any business trying to defend the policy.

This is how democracy works.

 

[RadiomanATL]

This is directly from the memo...

Use the Alinsky playbook of which the Left is so fond: freeze it, attack it, personalize it, and polarize it.

Well NOW it is the GOP playbook...

Oh, so you only have a problem when conservatives do it, but not liberals?

Geddafughouttahere wit that bullshit.

 

[RadiomanATL]

Keep in mind that "Town Hall Meetings" are supposed to be citizen's meetings not democrat citizen's meetings. If they are meant to be Democrat meetings they would be campaign events. We are not in the campaign season now, we are in a season of public input and debate for and about policies being proposed into bills to be voted on in both houses of congess. This is how representative democracy works.

Obama leaves his meetings open. Bush carefully screened his audiences, usually relying on military audiences.

Yup, and that was absolute f'ing bullshit.

Bush had no business being president. Period. It was almost like he was trying to flush this country down the toilet. Obama seems intent on doing the same. Luckily America i s a lot more resilient than any one man or one administration. This is why we'll outlast Obama as well.

Hey pea brain...Was it a Republican that SAID IT???...If so, it's obvious HE doesn't have any problem USING it... as a matter of FACT, he is EMBRACING it...

– Artificially Inflate Your Numbers: “Spread out in the hall and try to be in the front half. The objective is to put the Rep on the defensive with your questions and follow-up. The Rep should be made to feel that a majority, and if not, a significant portion of at least the audience, opposes the socialist agenda of Washington.”

– Be Disruptive Early And Often: “You need to rock-the-boat early in the Rep’s presentation, Watch for an opportunity to yell out and challenge the Rep’s statements early.”

– Try To “Rattle Him,” Not Have An Intelligent Debate: “The goal is to rattle him, get him off his prepared script and agenda. If he says something outrageous, stand up and shout out and sit right back down. Look for these opportunities before he even takes questions.”

Your faux victory dance is inane...the pretext added by the author of the article doesn't wash away the INTENT of the memo and it's right in line with the overall plan of the Republicans, which has become perfectly clear from comments by Republicans like Senator Jim Demint and Congressman Pete Sessions...destroy health care reform and undermine our President and our government any way possible for ONE purpose...PARTY first, people and country LAST...

I strongly believe this will be the Republican PARTY's self inflicted "Waterloo"; intelligent citizens will see the Republican PARTY for what it has become...far right authoritarian ideologues without conscience, plans or solutions...except INSURGENCY...

Texas Republican Congressman Pete Sessions compares GOP strategy to Taliban insurgency

"Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban, and that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person's entire processes. And these Taliban -- I'm not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban. No, that's not what we're saying. I'm saying an example of how you go about [sic] is to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that insurgency may be required when the other side, the House leadership, does not follow the same commands, which we entered the game with."

"Harry Truman once said, 'There are 14 or 15 million Americans who have the resources to have representatives in Washington to protect their interests, and that the interests of the great mass of the other people - the 150 or 160 million - is the responsibility of the president of the United States, and I propose to fulfill it.'"
