Operation Reichstag Fire

Democrats are playing up threats of violence by fringe-folk, and alleged public displays of incivility toward their party’s elected officials (all or most completely bogus), in order to isolate and discredit critics of the recently-passed health care legislation. Republican representative Eric Cantor advises the donks to lay off the scare tactics.

Which, of course, they have no intention of doing. Having laid the cornerstone of utopia, the Democrats are not about to stop demonizing opponents, and they’re certainly not above tarring millions of honest citizens with the actions of a few cranks (nor are they above creating phony incidents with which to brand as insurrectionists and criminals those individuals and groups who are determined to repeal Obama Care). And of course, there’s always the old standby: attributing opposition to racism. This charge has been hurled with such wanton abandon that it’s likely to lose its original meaning altogether (joining such pejoratives as “doofus” and “asshole” as a mere vulgar insult having no purpose other than to offend). You will be seeing and hearing much more of this in the months to come. My advice is, don’t be distracted by it and don’t dawdle on the road to repeal in order to argue about it. In short: don’t let the Democrats frame the issue or dictate the terms of the debate.

Quite so Paco. From the first "incident" I smelled agents provocateurs. This is the Chicago style.

The Dhimmicrats and lefties (but I repeat myself) have been playing up threats of violence for a long time. Scare tactics for them are business as usual.

And I hate bullies. I really do.

An Aussie aquaintence on facebook was all gushy about Obamacare. I pointed out that it's a load of socialist crap, has nothing to do with health and everything to do with power. He replied with an "oh, c'mon James..." to which I retorted to with a bit more reasoning. His final comment? That "fair enough", he didn't really didn't "know the ins and outs of the bill".

Being part of generation Y can be trying at times.

It is a smart move on the communists' part.
Ironically, violence might be the only way of stopping them at this point, so they are preemptively nipping that option in the bud.

The people are being brainwashed to believe that violence is never the answer.
Considering how the U.S.A. was born, that is ironic.

Does anyone else get the feeling this coup has been very carefully planned for a long time now; and perhaps not just by domestic enemies of the U.S.A.?

You have my deepest sympathies -- the baby boomers are bad enough.

Totalitarian fascists of all stripes have used agent provocateur violence to crush their enemies. This is a tried and tested tactice of all totalitarians.
