I became aware that the nation was heading toward a schism between the
citizens when I heard Joe Scarborough start his own news story about public discontent with White House Policies.
I feel compelled to inform people about the GOP party member who uses
a mainstream media channel for carrying out GOP talking points and
policies.
He isnt honest and let you know out front, he tries to pretend to be objective and trying to inform the public.
I became aware that the nation was heading toward a schism between the citizens of the nation, I heard Joe Scarborough start his deliberate drum
beat to initiate a public outcry against it.
He started out his morning show stating that people were becoming upset by
the cost of the program and that there would be a ground swell of discontent. This waa before there was any talk about it all. I had watched
him at play before MAKING HIS OWN NEWS AGENDA. He did this during the
election when he kept hammering Hillary Clinton on his show. He would
say all good things about Barack (because he didnt think a black man had
a chance to be president} and he denigrated the Senator.
HE DID THIS DAY AFTER DAY UNTIL HILLARY PLUMMETED IN THE POLLS. After he
finished her off and Barack was facing McCain,Scarborough thought he was
home free. He TALKED ABOUT REV WRIGHT UNTIL OBAMA TUMBLED IN THE POLLS.
When Obama gave his speech at the Democratic Convention the next day SCARBOROUGH HAD ALL HIS GUESTS HOLDING THE PHONE WAITING FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. HE KNEW ALREADY WHO WAS GOING TO BE NOMINATED. HE
JUST WANTED TO STEP ON OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN ENERGY GENERATED BY HIS SPEECH.
When Sarah Palin was announced. EVERY ONE OF HIS SHOWS HAD HER AND HER EVERY MOVE A TOPIC OF CONVERSATION. HE PROMOTED HER ENDLESSLY. ALL YOU
HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT HIS SHOWS DURING THAT TIME. She was the shining
star of his party and he had 3 hours every day to advocate her vice-
presidency and therein McCains presidency.
AS THEY SAY THERE'S MANY A SLIP BETWEEN THE CUP AND THE LIP. THE ECONOMY
TANKED AND BUSH, MCCAIN AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WAS SUNK!!!!! There was
nothing he could do to change the outcome and as a result OBAMA AND THE
DEMOCRATS WERE VICTORIOUS.
Now, Joe has manufactured his new Republican opportunity. HE HAS PROMOTED
A GOP MANUFACTURED GRASSROOTS OUTCRY. He sees his opportunity to help
the GOP TAKE OVER BARACK'S ADMINISTRATION AND THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS.
He knows the names of the executives and companies supporting these town
hall disruptions BUT HE PRETENDS THAT IT IS GRASSROOTS. HE WILL NOT CALL
OUT THEIR NAMES PUBLICLY BECAUSE IT WILL BE OBVIOUS TO THE PUBLIC THAT THE
GOP IS BEHIND THIS SO-CALL GRASSROOTS OUTCRY.
Rachel Maddow has investigated and reported the names of the executives
and companies behind these groups. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT THE LEADERS OF THESE GROUPS ARE BEING PAID SALARIES TO PERFORM A JOB. NOT JUST TRANSPORTATION AND ROOM AND BOARD BUT A FLAT OUT SALARY.
The Gop is taking a page from history. I have written about this in other
peoples diaries but it bears repeating here.
In the 1850's a NY Senator named Sumner was attacked in Congress, while he
was sitting down by a Southern Rep named Preston Brooks. He was beaten
severely with cane because he was against slavery being advanced into more
states in the Union. The southerns didnt like him accusing them of perversion and oppression so Brooks attacked him.
The north did nothing much about this attack, Brooks was applauded by the
south. The Fugitive slave laws added insult to injury by forcing northern
states to pay for catching {escaped property} of southerns. Nothern
states were forced to be financially responsible for finding runaway slaves for the slaveholders. They allowed southern aggression to stand.
Abolitionists finally got the north to protest against been force to
find other peoples property and with the reversal of this act and the
election of Lincoln, the south INCREASED ITS AGGRESSION TO A STRIKE AGAINST THE NATIONS SOVEREIGNTY. They fired on a federal fort and initiated the Civil War.
We are at that point again. THE SOUTHERN GOP HAS LOST CONTROL OF CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE AND THEY PLAN TO TAKE IT BACK IF IT MEANS DESTROYING
THE NATION AGAIN!!!!!
This aggressive behavior at town hall meeting is nothing more or less than
a version of the activity of the old south in pre-civil war america.
They plan to use methods of intimidation to make Congress AFRAID TO CHANGE
REPUBLICAN POLICIES. THEY PLAN TO OBSTRUCT EVERYTHING UNTIL THEY SHUT DOWN
THE GOVERNMENT AGAIN.
People like Scarborough, Beck, Hannity,Limbaugh, Dobbs and others are
the Prestons of today. Wiil they break out the canes next and start striking people in Congress or do they plan on inflaming others to do it
for them.
WE MUST STAND UP AGAINST THIS ELEMENT. WE CANNOT CONTINUE AS A NATION IF
WE LET THIS GREEDY AND DISHONEST GROUP KEEP MAKING THE POLICIES FOR THIS
NATION.
They lie and prevaricate in order to scare people just like the old days
when they claimed THAT SLAVERY WAS GOOD FOR BLACKS. THEY NEEDED SOMONE
TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.
These lies are in effect today. These same WELFARE SOUTHERN STATES GET
2 DOLLARS FROM THE GOVERNMENT FOR EVERY 1 THEY PAY IN TAXES BUT THEY ARE
FOREVER CLAIMING THAT OTHER PEOPLE BURDEN THE COUNTRY.
We have to answer these lies with facts. We have to point out how much
they get from this same government they hate. We have to name the executives who get humongous salaries from Health Insurance Companies
JUST LIKE THE WALL STREET MADOFFS DID. HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES USE THE
SAME TACTICS AS WALL STREET BANKS.
THEY CHANGE THE RULES, INCREASE THE PREMIUMS JUST LIKE CREDIT CARD BANKS.
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN THEM.
We must stand against this. We must not be deterred by GOP machinations.
We must DEMAND THAT MAINSTREAM MEDIA NAME THESE CORPORATE HEADS OF INSURANCE COMPANIES THAT SPONSOR THESE TOWN HALLERS AND WE MUST CALL THEM
OUT WHEN THEY DONT TELL ACCURATE NEWS.
THEY MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN SILENT AS THEY DID IN 2000 AND 2004.
We must let them know that there will be repercussions for not giving
fair and complete reports concerning GOP sponsors of the town hallers.
They must be made to know that their very credibility and viability are
on the line. Are they news organization or just GOP gossipmongerers.

Yesterday, I watched more of the GOP playbook. I watched the
Town Hallers particularly one guy go after Sen Spector. He insisted
that God was going stand before Spector an judge him. I kind of always
thought WE HAD TO STAND BEFORE GOD AND BE JUDGED.
It was plain to me that these people have an oddball perception of most
everything. God stand before us. We will be judged but somehow by inference THEY wont be judged. This is the time of Superiorty Complex at work in these people. Somehow all they thing and do pleases God while the
rest of us heretics are bound for judgement and hell.
They worry about children NOT HERE {abortion} but want to deny immigrant
kids medical treatment if they get sick. They didnt want Terry Schivo's?
husband to take her off life support but THEY THINK THAT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PAYING FOR A LIVING WILL IS GOVERNMENT EUTHANASIA?. They cant
see or conceive that a living will will prevent another Terry Schiivo.
We would know what Terry wanted to be done for her.
Something is seriously wrong with the thought process of these people.
They appear to be just responding in whatever way the GOP pundits tell
them to.
Yesterday, on Cavuto there was a guest who was to explain the new Volt
automobile and what it would do for the automobile industry. It was the
most confused jumble of statements I ever heard. I was so upset I turned
the channel immediately. I occasionally do watch a Fox show to see what
they are saying against Dems and Obama because it is their daily agenda
to criticism all things Democratic and Obama. It is always predictable
because every statement generally is anti every thing.
Cavuto just confirmed my belief that Fox does NOT bother to research their
subjects. They just report their opinions and story closed. They look a
joke and not credible.
MSNBC Morning Joe is a close second. The public was receivingan excellent evaluation of Health Care Reform by Pearlstein and Scarborough interrupted
him from start to finish and kept steering the conversation onto HIS
interpretation and ruined any chance of coherent explanation by Mr.
Pearlstein.
I was so incense, I could have bit a brick. These pundits get on my last
nerve. They are a waste of time and appear to serve NO PURPOSE WHATEVER
except lead the listening public in the wrong direction and make sure
no coherent understanding is ever achieved concerning public policy.
To my mind, the most informative and coherent information to be had from
a pundit is Rachel Maddow's show. She gives the guest more than 1 minute
to make a statement and asks questions design to elicit FACTS.
I live in hope that the mass media will began to do their jobs and become
true journalists and just not reporters of myths and staged productions.
