Statement from DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse on the Republican Party and Allied Groups' Mob Rule
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.
However, much like we saw at the McCain-Palin rallies last year where crowds were baited with cries of 'socialist,' 'communist,' and where the birthers movement was born - these mobs of extremists are not interested in having a thoughtful discussion about the issues - but like some Republican leaders have said - they are interested in 'breaking' the President and destroying his Presidency.
These mobs are bussed in by well funded, highly organized groups run by Republican operatives and funded by the special interests who are desperately trying to stop the agenda for change the President was elected to bring to Washington. Despite the headline grabbing nature of these angry mobs and their disruptions of events, they are not reflective of where the American people are on the issues - or the hundreds of thousands of thoughtful discussions taking place around kitchen tables, water coolers and in homes.
The right wing extremists' use of things like devil horns on pictures of our elected officials, hanging members of Congress in effigy, breathlessly questioning the President's citizenship and the use of Nazi SS symbols and the like just shows how outside of the mainstream the Republican Party and their allies are. This type of anger and discord did not serve Republicans well in 2008 - and it is bound to backfire again.

I want to pick up my check from the well-funded right wing lobby. Where do I go?
The radical left and the state-run media just don't get it, do they?
Why is it that you simply can't find a box of ammunition on the shelves when the factories are turning it out - 3 shifts a day, maximum capacity?
PEOPLE are worried, and they're not crazy. They are TAX PAYERS - not welfare cheats and illegal aliens.
LL:
If I find the place that is giving out the checks, I will let you know.
I have to go into DC tomorrow - I am thinking I should stop by the DNC. It is literally 2 blocks away from where I have to go. I can't figure out how to dress though.
I don't want to dress to nicely since that seems to be suspicous too. I guess I will put on my tie-dye headband and wear my peace t-shirt.
Don't take a bath before you go. They'll mistake you for a Demokrat.
LOL, good luck, hon. Bring your camera and have it switched onto film mode while you are there, in case something FUN happens!
