I’d love to get some discussion on the historical perspective on this.
Surely there have been moments in the past where polticians have worked the room. Some blantantly, some just appearing to.
Has there been a point in time where the political opposition has directed so much energy at the “Regular person in the audience” rather than the politician in question?
Perhaps this is just politics as usual, and it’s the usual generation self-absorbtion with the here and now, but to me the attempts to damage regular citizens to score poltical points is more than just scary.

And here we repeat the name Jeff Gannon either until it sticks with them or we get bored, whichever comes last.
But hey Gateway Pundit has video evidence that Obama bussed in supporters. I’m not linking to it, but Cap’n Ed’s running the video too. It is so fucking pathetic I can’t stop laughing at how stupid these guys are. What happened to Morrissey? He’s a laughingstock now.
Ed Morrisey has never been anything other than a clueless horse’s ass.

So let me get this straight. The President calls a town hall meeting. The daughter of an Obama supporter shows up at this town hall meeting. Obama calls on the girl at the town hall meeting. Girl asks a question that could be given a “pro-Obama” slant. Wingnuts declare the entire town hall meeting rigged.
Sure. Why not? If you don’t believe the President’s birth certificate when you see it with your own eyes, why would it be illogical to conclude that an Obama supporter would attend an Obama Health Care Rally?
Doesn’t everyone know the only people that show up at these rallies are anti-health care?
And that’s the heart of it, here. Malkin, et al have convinced themselves that health care reform isn’t popular. That the mobs surrounding the town halls represent the full extent of public opinion. That Obama’s plan has no support and is being foisted on an unwilling public.
Ergo, a pro-Obama questioner at an Obama town hall meeting MUST be a plant, because only a planted fifth columnist child manchurian candidate would ever think anything good of Obamacare or question the “Death Panels” and the looming socialism and the Obama-Hitler comparisons.

Thirty years later and he’d be wearing a backwards baseball cap, a popped collar t-shirt, and Birkenstocks.

Can you PLEEEEEEASE get this damn fork-stuck-in-dogs-head ad off my monitor? It’s disturbing, sick, NRSFW, and depressing as shit. Gimmie Arm-Vag Anderson back. Please.
Another example Helen Jones-Kelley and Joe the Plumber
That was a Government official searching the private records of someone who dared question Obama.
No outrage from progressives on that one.

Democratic campaigns could not survive without volunteers. GOP campaigns don’t have just regular people doing anything significant. Of course they think that anybody that actually worked on the campaign is a plant. On their side it would be true.

Obviously, the problem is that Cole posts about his dog too much. I guess, for the good of everyone, the blog has to go back to being just politics and the occasional Tunch. After all, no-one could think of Tunch as being a pitiable victim.

Dam’ skippy. Julia Hall got interviewed on the local news last night (Malden is just north of Boston, close enough that the ‘subway’ runs through it) and she is totally planning for 2036 already, more power to her.
It’s hard get hateful about a little girl with shining eyes holding up the ticket, with her name on it and everything, that the President signed, right in front of her. Although I am cynical enough to notice that Julia was interviewed in front of “the school where she will soon be a sixth grader”, and not her home. * Sigh *
