Why Is the Democrat Party Doing What It Accused the Republican, Libertarian Parties, Big Business and Insurance Companies of Doing?

Dear Reader and Friend,

As I was about to go into the second phase of the Democrat response to the true grassroots uprising and protest against the health care plan the Democrat Party is pushing — Escalating name calling by using false accusations. Claiming it was big business, Republican Party, Libertarian party, drug companies, etc, who were providing funding to organize the protests… when clearly it was not… the Democrat party is now organizing what they are calling a grassroots movement. If it were truly a grassroots movement, there would be no need to organize it. People would show up of their own volition.

Since the Town Hall protests were so loud, and the Democrat congresspeople were overwhelmed at the anger of their constituents, they have moved to phase 4 now. But don’t worry Dear Reader and Friend, I will go into their Phase 2 and Phase 3 use of Propaganda Tactics.

And Now on to Phase 4

Create a Fake bandwagon. A Fake grassroots movement.

Let’s start with some information I found in a book called Man the Puppet: the art of controlling minds. Written in 1925 by Abram Lipsky. Page 29

Lipsky has a very enlightening quote that pretty much sums up the Propaganda Device/Tactic the Democrat party is now using.

“A minority in the political field mimics the majority by making a noise like a great multitude, with mass-meetings, much public speaking, letters to the papers, league-long petitions. It thus appears like a great host attacking simultaneously at a hundred places, which is classical strategy of weaker against stronger forces in actual warfare.”

Here is a story dated August 24 from the Politico.com

I will intersperse my comments within the story.

Dems plan hundreds of reform rallies

Faced with a souring public mood on health care reform, Democrats and their supporters are launching a national grassroots (Editor Note: If it was truly a grassroots there would be no need for ANY organization to organize and/or push it) push Wednesday to show lawmakers that the majority of Americans still support overhauling the system. (Editor Note: The Democrat party is organizing their supporters for a “grassroots” effort to show Democrat politicians in congress that the people the Democrat party has organized want overhauling the current healthcare system).

Reform supporters are planning to hold more than 500 events between Wednesday and when lawmakers return to Washington Sept. 8, ranging from neighborhood organized phone banks (Editor Note: How can it be a grassroots effort if they are using organized phone banks? Who will those phone banks be calling? The elected representatives? The unions to come out an protest in favor of the Democrat plan?) to professionally staffed rallies with hundreds of people. (Editor Note: How can it be a grassroots effort if they are using professionally staffed rallies?)

The Democratic National Committee and its grassroots arm, Organizing for America, are helping to organize the effort along with the Health Care for America Now, a group pushing to create government-run insurance plan. (Editor note: So there we have it… The Democrat party, and thier organizations. Not concerned individuals, but party menbers.)

”In these last few weeks of recess we want to demonstrate the energy, passion and commitment that the American people have to health insurance reform so that when members return after Labor Day they know that they can turn their attention to getting this done because they have the backing of the American people,“ said DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse. (Again, the Democrat National Committee, of the Democrat party is organizing Democrats to come out and contact Democrat legislators… seems kind of like incest to me… but maybe that’s just me. Actually more like — to use a Democrat party term “astroturfing”).

Supporters have their work cut out for them. Many lawmakers were thunderstruck over the August recess by the anger and outrage expressed by their constituents in town hall meetings across the country (Editors Note: Now those protests were truly grassroots. The people speaking out did not have to be organized to speak out. They did it of their own volition.). And in poll after poll, support for reform has eroded throughout the month.

But Democrats and their allies insist that the majority of Americans still support reform (Editor Note: And exactly how do thye know that?) and have organized the grassroots campaign to buck up lawmakers as they get ready to head back to Washington.

A health-insurance-reform-now bus will travel the country starting Wednesday and anchor events in 11 cities: Phoenix, Albuquerque, Denver, Des Moines, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Charlotte, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Indianapolis and Columbus, Ohio.

But the talk of broad health insurance reform does not mean that progressives have backed off their push for a government-run insurance option.

“We want members of Congress to get back to work and pass reform that means something. We need affordable care. We need real insurance regulation. And we need a strong public health insurance option,” said HCAN spokeswoman Jacki Schechner. “It’s doable and we expect it to get done now.”

Editors Note: HCAN is the acronym for Health Care for America Now.

It’ a Good Lesson on Critical Thinking.

Asking questions like:

How do you know that”s True? What proof do you have?

Who are you?

Who is behind you? What’s your motivation?

What’s in it for you?

This type of question can bring out the truth. Questioning the source of thier information,. who they are, and making them explain and prove what they say is true.

Remember the quote from the book Man the Puppet I started this post with

“A minority in the political field mimics the majority by making a noise like a great multitude, with mass-meetings, much public speaking, letters to the papers, league-long petitions. It thus appears like a great host attacking simultaneously at a hundred places, which is classical strategy of weaker against stronger forces in actual warfare.”

And to paraphrase the words of the young boy asking Shoeless Jackson about his helping to throw the World Series.

“Say it ain’t so…” Say it’s not Democrat politicians, and Democrat party controlled organizations that are leading the protests for health care. Say and prove it’s truly the will of the people being governed, that they really do want the Democrat propsed Healthcare. Unfortunately, they can not honestly say that. And they can not prove it. So unfortunately these efforts are “astroturf” — as the Democrat party would call it.

To paraphrase the words of Elmer Fudd “da da, da da, da dat‘s all for today folks!”
