Rising Fear of Town Halls...

The "teaparties" and town hall outbursts definitely have the Leftists very worried, to the extent that many of the Alinsky tactics are being employed to fight back.

The idea that dissent is now unpatriotic is becoming a main theme, never mind the pre-election idea that dissent was very patriotic. It depends entirely on who is in charge, and who is dissenting, you see. It's a class issue, and current dissenters are in the wrong class.

And it is becoming common to call the dissenters "paid thugs" and "fascists". The class issue seems to be prevalent here, too, since worse activities including property damage, intimidation with weapons, breaking and entering are all considered legitimate, if the actors are ACORN or black supremacists.

"In a fight, anything goes. It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a blow lands above the belt", Alinsky, Rules For Radicals, p129/130.

If there is any fascist activity it is here: the U.S. government has requested that dissenters to the health/death plan be turned in; the U.S. government has now declared that protesters should be photographed, identified, and "interviewed", ostensibly to determine if they are paid agents of ... bad guys. Government intimidation of dissenters is just very, very Leftist.

Dissent: no longer just for Leftist Alinsky wackos....

UPDATE:
Pelosi says dissenters are "carrying swastikas", and Dogget calls them "mobs". Of course they would say that. They're scared of the grassroots at work.

UPDATE 2:
