Audacity of Truth
Spinsational:
"We were so busy just getting stuff done and dealing with the immediate crises that were in front of us that I think we lost some of that sense of speaking directly to the American people about what their core values are and why we have to make sure those institutions are matching up with those values."

Pelosi and Hoyer to ObamaCare opponents: You are “Un-American”
Are you paying close attention, everyone – especially seniors and veterans? This is what the Democrats leaders in the House think of your concerns about ObamaCare: You’re “Un-American.” Jimmie Bise has a great takedown of Pelosi and Hoyer’s op-ed here and concludes:
The Democrati[c] leadership says I am un-American for deciding that, after months of being ignored and marginalized, I should raise my voice. Well, to hell with that. I say that Pelosi and Hoyer’s abuse of their power — power, by the way, they only have because we the people have granted it to them — has gone well past statism and is standing with one foot firmly planted in the nastiest traditions of fascism.
Yep. I hate to say it, but we are living in scary times in this country.
Related to all this, Andrew Sullivan – fresh from just a couple of weeks ago demanding that President Obama produce his actual birth certificate in the name of transparency – has penned an op/ed for the Times of London which suggests that the whole birth certificate controversy is not really about wondering whether or not Obama is legally eligible to serve as President but instead is about … you guessed it: racism. Tom Maguire has an excellent fisking of Sullivan’s latest prObama dribblings here.
Ah. So nice to know that we live in a country where dissent, once deemed as “patriotic,” is now thought of as “racist” and “Un-American” – “Un-American” enough that we should, according to our President, shut up already. 
Update – 9:57 AM: Karl at Patterico’s calls Pelosi out regarding her hypocrisy on the issue of dissent. Consider it a must-read.

I seem to remember when anyone was even thought to have hinted at someone being Un-American during the Bush years, the dems came out screaming about “dissent is patriotic!”. Now it seems that dissent is Un-American, racist, fascist, or “astro turfing”.
The dems seem to think they can bully people who disagree with them. To that I can only say, you can only push people so far before they push back.
American Patriots! Hit the left where it will hurt the most…at the polls 2010 and 2012! This is a voice that cannot be denied.
Not bein’ a lawyer, kin San Fran Nan be arrested for theft by fraud if this obamabortion passes? I mean, seriously, folks, they haven’t told the truth one time about it since they started packing it down our throats, and it shore ain’t gonna be free!
I personally think it’s about time we stood up and started packing it up their backsides. More power to the protesters.
There’s no room there, Carlos, their heads have firmly been implanted there since birth.
This whole thing is rife with Orwellian parallels. From demonizing dissent, to encouraging people to rat out folks to Big Brutha, to the massive case of doublespeak/doublethink required to support this BS of a plan.
Take the basic thing, the system is terrible, it’s about to crash, it’s horrible, we have to change it, but, if you are happy with your health care you won’t have to change it! Man, never ever has there been a clearer example of Doublethink.
Let’s see, 4 legs good, 2 legs bad…from Animal Farm…anti-Bush protesters good, anti-ObamaCare protesters, bad. All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others (as in, why won’t Congress submit to the same kind of care as ObamaCare?).
Seems to me we’ve been in a “cold” civil war for a couple of decades now, and it’s starting to heat up.
These lefty fascists like Pelosi would be really quite funny… if WE weren’t the ones they were planning to control, that is.
Now the DNC is deploying AFL-CIO palookas while at the same time hypocritically dismissing Obamacare opponents as paid shills -even running TV ads to slander them- and delirious SanFranNan is seeing imaginary Swastikas.
This should make clear to anyone just what these power-drunk elitists think of your opinion.
Note that whenever Obama, Emanuel, or Gibbs are asked about why polls show SO many people oppose their misguided Cap-n-Trade and Obamacare proposals, they ALWAYS segue-right-into “we need to educate the public…”.
LOL- save your breath… Constitutionally-aware American patriots don’t take lectures from Marxists.
All Americans want is the truth about what’s in the bill. Obama’s transparency is that it’s becoming crystal clear the facts are not on the side of Pelosi and Hoyer. Why else would they be trying to redirect the conversation.
start shining light on who obama is surrounding himself with for adive on healthcare and u will be flabergasted.i would not let these people take care of my fish.and the way they trash folks for not agreeing on there bs plan its criminal.yea liberals we see through you now and forever you will all be voted out then our country can get back to normal.PS[and sarah is gonna help now what you all gonna do now!!!
“There’s no room there, Carlos, their heads have firmly been implanted there since birth.”
Well, the way I figure it, NC, is the heads are completely empty so there’s plenty of room for a multi-thousand page bill there, since the heads are all so swollen with self-importance anyway…
Yes, you have nailed the issues correctly!
Where are the 21st Century’s Woodward & Bernsteins? Take a really close LOOK at “all the President’s men”–CZARS!
If there was nothing to hide, they would be welcoming the open discussion. Pelosi has nerve to refer to dissenters as Nazis when it is the WH who called out ACORN and Union thugs to create the violence. Saul Alinsky would be proud!
My only question is: when will Americans wake up and see what is on the horizon. Even these young Liberals will one day reach Senior age and how will they feel when they are denied medical attention based on the cost effectiveness?
I resent the Prez telling us to just “shut up.” And where does he get off acting as if Democrats since Jimmy Carter did not have a large hand in the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac disaster?? Take a closer look at who signed the bills forcing these banks to give “liar loans.”
The alien agenda, the unamerican agenda is from those on the far left who hate this country and what it stands for—Nancy you head that list along with Michelle Obama and her husband.
Here’s Pelosi, as quoted in the post at Patterico’s that ST linked:
OK, fair enough. Now it took me all of about 30 seconds poking around the SEIU web site to find this gem:
And there’s also this item from an SEIU local that was preparing astroturf for a congressman’s town hall meeting:
So by tomorrow at the latest we can expect that Pelosi will issue a strong statement condeming the SEIU as “un-American”, right? I mean, she wouldn’t be lying
, would she??
I said a few days ago here:
This time they aren’t even changing the words to disguise their hypocrisy…
I think this argument is as plain as black and white
It may come to revolution if we hope to turn it around. You think he’s going to give up the power? He is going to stay exactly where he is with the help of the Unions, ACORN (which we are funding, thank you very much) and ironically, the old Dem’s who’ve always voted Dem and always will and these ignorant idealogue young people who still see him as the new hip Messiah of ‘Hope and Change’. What was his hope? That he could change us into Soviet Russia and be Supreme Leader forever? I think he’s gonna get his wish. Who thinks people will actually vote the foos like Pelosi, Reid and Bawney Fudd Fwank out of office??????????????
