Ask the special interest groups, they could probably tell you.

Obama to hold a health care town hall meeting in New Hampshire.

I love how the article plays up New Hampshire as a big activist center and how dangerous it'll be for Obama. It's fucking New Hampshire!

Does anyone honestly think that crowd won't be filled with plants?

A nine year old is called upon right off the jump. She wants to know about these mean signs she sees about Obama.

Nah, no plants, here.

"I don't want people to think I'm calling on nothing but plants here" (chuckle from crowd)


You know he thinks we're all idiots, right?

Or, even worse, he figured the people who voted for him are idiots, and the people opposing him are slightly less idiotic, and that makes them dangerous.

Remember this quote, repeated several times by Obama:

“I won’t sign a bill that adds to the national debt or the deficit.”

O NOEZ! TEH RIGHT WING MOB!!! Apparently some right-of-center people think the angry folks at the town halls are "frightening people."

http://www.velociworld.com/Velociblog/Oldvelocity/003457.html
It doesn't matter if people are frightened by angry "mobs" screaming at congressmen at town halls. Those people aren't voting on healthcare reform. What matters is if congressmen are frightened by angry "mobs" screaming at congressmen at town halls. People aren't the fucking dependent variable here. The assholes voting for the bill are. And scaring the living shit out of them is the only hope we have of defeating this colossus of a buttfucking called Obamacare.

If it was something the people wanted, it wouldn't need to be filled with talking heads.

I wonder if his staffers cringed when he said that comment about plants. Or, if they just take an "ends justify the means" approach to life.

I'm willing to believe Obama didn't know they were plants. But I would never believe that his staffers didn't know and arrange things.

Someone really needs to explain to the politicians and their cronies that shit like plants in a town hall meeting doesn't work anymore.

Someone on one of the links Gordon posted makes an excellent point: "Even if she wasn't a plant, who the fuck gives a shit what a little kid thinks about health care reform?" She's not a voter or a tax payer. She doesn't have the slightest idea what health care reform is except what her very-much-up-Obama's-ass mother tells her.

Also, should I assume that the town hall meeting did not go as planned? I saw Yahoo's front page all last night and today and there hasn't been a single story, and they're one of the more biased outlets going.

No way. You go to the trouble of setting up the theatre, you definitely make sure everyone knows their parts. If they work from scripts, everyone's got to know.

But Obama doesn't setup the theatre. He just says "I want a theatre" and someone runs with it.

But he still knows it's theater.

So he's just as guilty as the guy who sets up the stage or writes the play.
