Lanny Davis wants you photographed and investigated

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 5, 2009 03:10 PM

The consigliere to the Clinton thugocracy decries the taxpayer counterinsurgency — and calls on left-wing hitmen to photograph and investigate Obamacare protesters to prove that they are being “paid” by the “Republican right” to express their opinions and demand accountability from their congressional representatives (never mind that so many of these protests have been aimed at Republicans who have betrayed their principles).

Via Politico:

The “shout downs” organized by the Republican right meet one of the classic definition of “fascist” tactics–defined as using shouting and disruption to deprive the civil and respectful debate of ideas. There is literally no defense to these tactics. I don’t criticize those who feel genuine anger or fear and show up to meetings to express those emotions. But I do call out the tactic of screaming and disrupting a meeting and the fact that this is a systematic tactic by thugs who want to prevent civil discourse, not promote it.

Let’s have the media name names, publish photographs, and do interviews of those responsible for approving, even organizing these techni[q]ues. And let’s find an investigative journalist – are there many left – to prove these so-called grassroots shouters are, or are not, being paid.

Wear your best Brooks Brothers shirt and say cheese!

    Good grief! Guess he forgot to call out Big Brother when Tom Tancredo or Minutemen were shouted down. Dems can dish it out. They think it’s their right…because they are good and right while believing their opponents to be evile and deserving of whatever disrespect libs dish out. But libs sure and shootin’ can’t take it! They want a one-way street. They want a situation where they act however they want and also control how people who disagree with them act too.

    Hey Lanny, just take the photo out of my retired personnel file at the Pentagon. In fact, you can even use the same investigation that they used to grant me my TS security clearance, too. At 20+ years old it’s got to be more current than any of Barry Soetoro’s grade transcripts.

    I thought Dems didn’t think the government should spy on Americans without warrants. Maybe Dems just don’t want the government spying on Americans who might be terrorists. Their opponents on the other hand are fair game. How can I e-mail Lannie. I could send him a photo of myself so he wouldn’t have to waste a click on his digital.

    sonofdy, reading some of the comments at that link, I have to agree, it is coming. They are angry at us for effecting policy through true grassroots effort and are consoling themselves with projection. There is going to come a time when there is a confrontation of some sort between the two sides, I do not see any way there is ever going to be any kind of agreement with the anger out there.

    All the links are circular between ThinkProgress, dKos, democratUnderground, etc. No name has appeared, just that it’s supposedly a freshman Democrat congressman.

    The quote, supposedly made by Rep. Connelly doesn’t hit anywhere but these blogs. ThinkProgress points to a subscription-only article on RollCall, but so far there’s no other information. I’m not going to bother with a RollCall subscription.

    If a congressman were assaulted, I would expect there would at least be local news coverage.

    Three points about Lanny’s insane comments:

    1) A lot of Liberals seem to really believe that these protests are astroturf affairs. The only opposition they believe in is those evil Republicans. They assume, therefore, that this level of protest can only be an evil Republican plot.

    By saying this stuff Lanny’s playing to the base, getting them revved up for a hard fight. From his point of view, that’s good.

    2) Even if Lanny himself understands that this is not true (he might. He might not), his side absolutely does not want people in the center to know that. Fake protests have no credibility and they want this stuff to have no credibility so new people won’t join.

    3) The left has almost certainly miscalculated the backlash they get from people who are already angry, then find themselves smeared by crud like Lanny.

    When they see that unexpected backlash, it’s likely they will react the only way they know how: By escalating their attacks.

    Welcome to interesting times.

    Republicans played a trick on Democrats today by redirecting angry telephone calls coming into their switchboard to the Democratic National Committee, CNN reports.

    Earlier this morning, the DNC released a web video accusing the GOP of inciting mob activity.

    “At the end of the video, the DNC instructs people to call the Republican National Committee to express outrage. Callers who dial the RNC’s main number to voice their concern about the DNC’s charges are told to press 1, which sends them to the DNC’s main switchboard.”

    I’d say these people wouldn’t know a grassroots movement if one walked up and punched them in the face, but sadly they know all too well what is really happening and that they are lying about it.

    What they definitely are is desperate.

    Now do you think we would be getting this kind of response to the “McCain Plan”? HELL NO. All you’d have is a bunch of fringe liberal protests saying there aren’t enough handouts (and ultimately getting their way). The rest of America (the ones who voted away their right to complain by voting for that loser) would be going about their business as if their freedoms were safe.

    I didn’t vote for McCain, so I didn’t vote for his anti-Constitution BS. I didn’t vote for Obama or his anti-Constitution BS. The candidate who won my vote would be working against Congress to DISMANTLE these government intrusions.

    I’d say my Keyes vote is working out quite well for me. Didn’t support either socialist candidate, so I can support the tea parties without having to put my foot in my mouth.

    I’d also submit that if this kind of crap were going on last spring, we might have a Constitutionalist in the White House today.

    Still, I applaud the American people for waking up. Now on to making sure these socialist parties meet their demise, and are replaced with ones that emphasize freedom.

    Holy batcrap, Batman!! Talk about intellectual dishonesty at its peak, apex, or whatever.

    These MFs have been screaming, yelling, closing down anything conservatives or Republicans have tried for decades and now, this new version of the KGB in Washington is complaining?

    How freaking low can one go? Who the hell are these anti-American freaks?

    Now, Obama is asking for anyone who knows anyone opposing the healthcare fiasco to send their email address to Washington. WTF for? Well, the answer is obvious.

    Hitler’s Nazi Germany was a socialist state with one or two things that have been associated with conservatives but overall, it was socialist. They encouraged neighbors to turn in neighbors and for the young to turn in Mom and Dad if they didn’t agree with Hitler. In Soviet Russia, neighbors were encouraged to spy on neighbors as well. People started to disappear and reappear at reeducation and labor camps. Are we next? Don’t think for one moment it cannot happen here.

    Heil Obama??????

    Hey, Lanny! Investigate me! You might be quite surprised to find that I don’t work for a health insurance company or the Republican Party and no one pays me to protest Obamacare, Cash for Clunkers, the “Stimulus Act,” or “Bail Outs.” You might also be surprised that a goodly portion of my annual income comes from a military retirement check. Y’see, I understand all too well how “gob’ment healthcare” works, i.e. not as well as “gob’ment cheese” makes grilled cheese sandwiches.

    You might want to forward my website address to the “flag” folks, too, because I’m just getting started.

    Hope is not a plan; not all change is good! WE are the civilian national security force! I didn’t want to buy General Motors, and I damn’ sure don’t want to buy the healthcare system! The resistance is here; the resistance is now! RESIST!!!!!!!

    Pretty close.

    There were three:

    1. Public office must only be held by citizens.

    2. Abolition of taxes on land.

    3. Pro-Life/Anti-child labor.

    These tenets are as specified in the Nazi Party Platform, and were not necessarily followed by the Nazis in practice, but they are the three points of Nazism that match up with American conservatism.

    Just so you know, American liberals match up with 17.

    The “shout downs” organized by the Republican right meet one of the classic definition of “fascist” tactics–defined as using shouting and disruption to deprive the civil and respectful debate of ideas.

    When Bush was still in office it was a good thing to be a community organizer. In fact it was Obama’s number one qualification to run for president. He and Michelle gave speeches calling on citizens to forego huge salaries in the evil business world and volunteer to organize communities instead.

    But now that we are trying to take their advice and organize communities against the health care bill, we are “facists” and mobsters. The next thing you know they will be calling us unpatriotic.

    These people demand that republicans play by the rules they have invented for us while they play by Alinsky’s rules — which means no rules at all.

    A People’s Organization is dedicated to an eternal war. A war is not an intellectual debate, and in the war against social evils there are no rules of fair play.”

    It’s odd that more posters here are not fmailiar with Jonah Goldberg’s seminal work “Liberal Fascism”, which conclusively demonstrates that fascism was primarily an ideology “from the left”, rather than being “conservative” or from the right.

    Read the book. It can be a slog at times, but once you see the case he’s made (heavily footnoted, I might add) you will never look at Woodrow Wilson, and FDR, (Or Teddy Roosevelt, for that matter), and “Progressives” the same way again.

    No American has a right to expression totally without consequence.

    The 1st Amendment limits government intrusion into our speech, but does not protect us totally from private repercussions for using our rights to expression.

    Lanny the Slut’s call for press examination of anti-Oba-mao people is not a violation of our 1st Amendment rights. It is a lot of other things, but not that.

    Once again Lanny David reveals himself to be nothing more than a goon and a thug.

    Lanny and the lefties are really playing with fire here. The NRA ought to take out an ad praising the 2nd Amendment, and subtly reminding the left that there are several hundred milion weapons in the hands of the citizenry, with majority held by those on the right.

    Alinsky pointed out one of the dangers that can occur with community organizations. Such power groups can fall prey to a fascist leader who wants to destroy democracy.

    They fear that the development and building of People’s Organizations is the building of a vast power group which may fall prey to a fascistic demagogue who will seize leadership and control and turn an organization into a Frankenstein’s monster against democracy.
    — Saul Alinsky, Reveille for Radicals; p. 199

    rightwingrocker, It’s not what you “know” that is at issue here.

    As Davis’s claims indicate, THE LEFT equates all fascism with Naziism, which they portray as being a right-wing, hence “conservative” movement.

    Goldberg provides the historical evidence and reams of facts whereby conservatives can refute that claim.

    Every conservative can benefit from being able to do that.
