- Beyond All Parody: Why The Democrat's Don't Get It

In short, it's because they're accusing all of us of doing what they are. See this example:




I’m finding it surreal, this whole healthcare debate. The conservative critics of the program are looking at the contents of the plan, and seeing issues like the mandatory end of life counseling and the ‘taxpayer subsidized insurance option’ and are then describing the inevitable results of such legislation. The Democrats in the meanwhile, are saying that that those consequences aren’t what they intend for the legislation at all. Actually… that’s what they might be saying if they were being honest about it. In reality what they’re saying is that the features that the critics are worried about aren’t in the bill at all.

This is more than just another lie by a politician whose lust for power is showing. It’s actually the Democrats looking at their own bill and saying that the critics aren’t being short sighted enough to understand it the way that they do. In effect they’re calling it unfair to look at what will actually happen if the bill is passed, instead of what the drafters would like to have happen. In reality, the critics of the bill understand the facts even better than the people who drafted it, but the people who drafted it are accusing the critics of not understanding the facts.

Actually, they’re doing more than that too. They’re actually accusing them of using boisterous demonstrations to express their view. This wouldn’t be an issue except that the town halls were all supposed to be carefully scripted pep rallies for the program. That’s why the Democrats think this is all illegitimate, because they know how manufactured their support for the program is. They genuinely don’t realize that this is ‘Real America’ speaking up. They think it’s just a bunch of people the Republicans hired to counter the bunch of peole that they hired on the ‘pro’ side.

So the Democrats, outdoing any possible parody of themselves, are accusing their critics of using the very same tactics that they are currently in the process of using. They’re accusing them of being an artificial grassroots movement whose only fault is that it’s a better artificial grassroots movement than the one they’ve put together with designs on turning the town halls into pep rallies.

Add to this the ‘rat out your friends’ line, Obama demanding that all opposition be silenced, and the Orwellian version of reality the Whitehouse and Democratic leadership are sticking to (that depicts themselves as the good guys and everyone else as the villain) and I don’t know how they manage to look themselves in the mirror. Even the very worst of them should be managing to find a drop of shame deep down there somewhere by now.

Yes, that’s my view. In my opinion even soul-less Nancy Pelosi should have trouble looking into the mirror at that drum head stretched face of hers. And yet these people are happy to go on national TV and declare these ordinary Americans ‘un-American’ for doing nothing but disagreeing with them.

The whole thing really is beyond belief.
