Health Reform Astroturfing

by wesley | 11:32 pm, August 12, 2009

Earlier today, I got a hold of an SEIU email instructing the union thugs on how they were going to ambush Congressman Mike Coffman’s town hall meeting on health reform this evening. Let me share that email with you before we get into some of the pictures I was able to take outside the town [...]

Pretty typical of the discussions at Ed Perlmutter’s health reform town hall in Brighton on Saturday.

Vandalism at the Perlmutter Health Reform Town Hall?

by T.L. James | 7:10 pm, August 10, 2009

This from our well-funded and carefully coordinated friends over at Michael “The Hutt” Huttner’s place – if this is for real, why has it not been all over CNN?  The original email includes a picture of a car with what appears to be a car mirror dangling from its mount. Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 5:25PM [...]

“Healthcare Is a Right, Not a Privilege”: A Bit Unclear on the Concept

by T.L. James | 9:53 am, August 9, 2009

I guess Ari’s example is rubbing off on me – I saw this young woman’s sign, and I just had to interview her. Sadly, this was typical of the level of understanding of first principles I heard all afternoon from the collectivists promoting Obamacare.  There was much discussion about “social justice” [sic] and emotion-based “arguments” [...]

The Real Astroturfing Is On the Progressive Left

by T.L. James | 10:10 pm, August 8, 2009

Just in case you didn’t bother to scroll down and look at all the pictures from the Perlmutter health care/Obamacare town hall meeting Saturday, here’s one you really need to see: This guy is plainly acting as an organizer for the Democrats attending the event, handing out pre-printed fliers for them to wave. Fliers which [...]

Congressman Perlmutter Holds Health Care Town Hall Meeting in Brighton

by T.L. James | 9:41 pm, August 8, 2009

Update: CompleteColorado was there, and has additional pictures of union members and a few stealthy shots of Congressman Perlmutter cowering in the alcove. 200-300 people attended Congressman Ed Perlmutter’s health care/Obamacare/socialized medicine-themed town hall meeting this afternoon at the King Sooper’s in Brighton. Much more coverage below the fold…

Five More Reasons to Oppose Obama’s “Single-Payer” Collectivized Healthcare

by T.L. James | 1:25 am, June 12, 2009

Forget the statistics and the care-and-share rhetoric coming from the Obama team, urging you to support “single-payer” health insurance (aka socialized medicine, aka collectivized health care) — here are a few simple, obvious reasons why you should not want it: The Incompetence of Large Organizations “That government governs best which governs least.” As anyone who has served in [...]

“Little Ditty ’bout Dan & Diane – 2 Dems play to the heart, man” Sorry, D&D, but Healthcare is NOT a “Right”

by The Peripatetic Pundit | 2:13 pm, April 10, 2009

Well, you have to give the Democrats plaudits for consistency in their talking points. In separate appearances this week, both freshly appointed Rep. Daniel (“I’m not a carpetbagging limousine liberal”) Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, and Congresswoman-for-Life Diana DeGette, D-Denver (1st Congressional District) made nearly-identical statements while advocating for universal-coverage government-run health care: “I think it [...]

Consumer Reports Review

by spark4freedom | 6:42 am, March 20, 2009

Alas, just when my left-meter was pegged earlier this week from all the “good” news, I received an email from Jim Guest, the publisher of Consumer Reports.  He seemed to think that I should help him achieve socialized medicine so there would be a Popsicle in every child’s hand and a unicorn in every American’s [...]
