   I received a *number* of thoughtful emails and wanted to express my appreciation to those who communicated their sincere concerns

   LOL!!! I bet he was shocked by the politeness, but what’s killing him is the numbers he received; enough to make a statement. The appreciation he expressed in private was probably more akin to the kid that got grounded from the internet.

   I believe that thoughtful and civil people on the left and the right share a desire for debate and have respect for other people’s opinions.

   The reason that Americans are “disrupting” the propaganda meetings is because this ADMIN and CONGRESS are not allowing a DEBATE!

   WAKE the HELL up!

   Dear Mr. Davis,

   You said that you would publicly condemn those who shout down or disrupt others at meetings. What do you say to people like Nancy Pelosi who say that the protestors at these events are nothing but an angry mob and that the anger here is being manufactured by the RNC and insurance companies? Would you equally condemn these remarks?

   There’s this:

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

   Then this:

   I do not wish in any way investigate, photo, or suppress the opinions of people who show up to these meetings regarding concerns about Democratic health care proposals. Indeed, I welcome that because we need more debate on this important issue.

   My post specifically criticized only those who shout down and prevent others from speaking.

    All day yesterday, I thought about these outrageous comments by Dems. Once again, they either don’t get or ignore their own raging hypocrisy. Lanny’s original artical was itself a ‘shout-down.’ Left-wing Dems have been trying to label opponents as wing-nuts for years now, with some success, in an attempt to demonize and marginalize, to shut us the frig up. They inappropriately label opponents as hate-mongers, racists, bigots, Nazi’s, extremists, zealots, thugs, mob members, easily led, stupid, idiots, out of the main stream (when conservatives in the US are much more main-stream than are left-wing libs.) THEY engage in name-calling. THEY routinely SHOUT DOWN their opponents, and have been for years! They are projecting with this latest round of vicious, un-called for attacks. THEY are going after citizens simply expressing their frustration over this unprecidented government power grab. THEY want to end discussion. THEY do it so often that they expect, erroniously, that everyone does it.

    Oh and hey, do any of you recall Lanny ever speaking out or blogging critically about ANY shoutdown by the left-wing of people with whom they disagree. Youtube is rife with examples. Michelle posted a bunch yesterday. Did Lanny call those left wing shout-downers Nazis or other names for preventing their opponents from speaking… even yesterday or today.

    ROBERTS: Hey, by the way, you were at the Code Pink demonstration at the White House, where they dressed somebody up as President Bush in prison garb and were throwing shoes at him. What was does about? And why?

    MILBANK: It was an inspired bit of political satire. The guy himself apparently is apologizing, but they’re making him like a hero. You know, the next Cindy Sheehan. They were throwing clogs and pumps and sandals and boots, pretty much everything they could at this gigantic paper mache Bush. I got a little close to him and got pelted with a couple of shoes myself, John.

    Yes we could fill the pages here with supposed reporters stating how these people were “Hero” for doing their violent and disruptive actions.

    Lanny Davis had the courage and courtesy to respond in a thoughtful manner. I think we need to be careful and be very aware that we will be judged by our response to this letter.

    There are many things through the years that I have disagreed with him on. Is he a loyalist, certainly. But he’s not a nut job like Pelosi, Durbin, Boxer, etc.

    I thank him for his prompt and thoughtful response and I agree with him that discourse while spirited must be tempered with respect and courtesy.

    I know several of us are not buying what he wrote, but we need to give him the benefit of the doubt and then after doing so, expect the same courtesy in return.

    He misses the point those people are angry and those Democrats won’t LET THEM SPEAK so they must be heard and if that entails shouting then so be it!.

    The fact that he would have those who are loud photographed and told on is despicable PERIOD. I know he is a leftist but really this is AMERICA and we are FREE to say what we want as loud and as proud as we want without government inteference.

    To Lanny and the DNC and the other tools on the left I have one thing I want to remind them of….The 1st Amendment to the Constiution….READ IT!
    http://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_Am1.html

    No where in it does it mention no shouting it mentions peaceably however one person’s peace is NOT for the government to decide. It NEVER mentions taking names, photographing or otherwise any other government intervention based on the opinions of people like Lanny!

    Prior to yesterday, I had no beef with Lanny. Now, I would like to see one example where he ever objected in print or other media to left-wing protestors who actually did stop people from speaking because they didn’t like their political opinions.

Because we need to give them a chance to dig their own political graves. And how can they do that if we don’t allow them to use the shovel (thier lying mouths). If we are portrayed as a bunch of screaming lunatics who don’t let them get in a word edgewise, we aren’t doing our cause any good. Yes, we are very angry and have a right to yell. But maybe the yelling should be held until after the politician says something outrageous. Then, have at it. Doesn’t that make more sense? Let them talk. Then yell back at them. I have a feeling we won’t have many more chances to do this, as they are shutting down the town hall meetings all over the place. They are running away and hiding.

    Immediately there are overwhelming shouts of, “No, we don’t agree!”

    Some guy stands up and says;

    I’m 61 years old, and I was out pursuing the American dream with a family working 15 hours a day like everyone else, and voting – and that’s all I did – politically speaking.

    And all of a sudden, I woke up one day and I realized that the politicians we’ve been electing have been taking that dream away faster than I could get my hands on it. And it hasn’t just happened with Obama. He’s just a huge expansion of it.

    And now, it’s waking us all up.

    Does anyone NOT think that the democrats are grossly overplaying their hand?

    “I take the same position if it is people on the left side of the spectrum who use such tactics as those on the right side.”

    Doesn’t he understand that this isn’t a left/right, Dem/Rep, lib/con issue? It is VOTERS who are showing up and protesting. Just look at Southside Barry’s polling numbers. Very, very few Americans support big government socialism and fewer still approve of cramdown legislation.

    It would help their cause if they showed up at these townhalls prepared for a substantive discussion rather than merely repeat the tired old partisan rhetoric. That is why they are getting shouted down. They just don’t listen.

    Lanny Davis knows full well that the union and welfare thugs used by the Democrat Party constantly resort to violence and intimidation based on force. ((And, I wonder if Lanny will actually condemn violence when the Obama thugs injure some senior veteran or elderly grandmother attending a town hall protest.)

    Lanny’s contradictory statements in less than a day or two reflect the anguish that the socialist cabal is now feeling because of average Americans expressing their anger at the elected elite and their attempts to subjugate the American populace.

    Anyone with a brain knows that the town hall protests, unlike the ACORN and SEIU protests, aren’t paid for by anyone. Sure they are organized using websites so that individuals can schedule their time from work to go to such meetings.

    As far as Republican involvement, the Republican Party has been criticized far more than the Democrat Party because a lot of people feel betrayed by the “compassionate conservatism” that led to runaway government spending and ever bigger and intrusive government.

    What we are witnessing is a working middle-class people’s movement, and they are damned tired of being told what to do every time they turn around by a bunch of government bureaucrats and radical leftist politicians. President Reagan said “tear down this wall”. Well the people are now saying “tear down this government excess”.

    Having said that, he does not have a vote and we need to concentrate on saving our freedoms and choices from obama. The dems know they must move as fast as they can and they have the votes.Don’t ever be mislead that they will not buy off these so called blue dog dems and get them to tag along. We can only hope to keep this up until 2010 and maybe we can undo what he is destroying. Remember their names and support those who run against them and share our own views of freedom and liberty.

    You Texans have to love this guy. Keep him in office.
    Texas Sen. John Cornyn, accusing the White House of compiling an “enemies list,” has asked President Barack Obama to stop an effort to collect “fishy” information Americans see about a health care overhaul.

    Cornyn, who leads the Republicans’ Senate campaign effort, said Wednesday in a letter to Obama that he’s concerned that citizen engagement on the issue could be “chilled.”

    I think that applies in this scenario … we must not lower ourselves to their level while at the same time standing up for our rights and for what is right for our country … in my view that simply means avoiding profanity laced tirades and signs … but still standing strong in our resolve to take back this country from those that would turn it into another socialist, third world experiment …

    These people are the epitome of the definition of insanity that talks of doing the same thing over and over and always expecting a different result …

    These people don’t accept that all of the times in history that these social systems have been tried and failed means anything because in their minds “they will do it better and it will work” …

    We can’t let them go for so much as another hour unchallenged … every minute waiting is a minute wasted that cannot be recovered in this battle for the survival of the United States of America …

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

    Davis is a perfect example of what I call the liberal “Cognoscenti:” one of the few at the top who serves as a talking points leader for the Gliterati and the Ignorati to parrot.

    Just like Hope-a-Dope with his “Clinging to their Bibles and guns” crack about ordinary Americans, or Murtha’s assessment of his own constituents as “rednecks & racists” or Eric Holder’s wholesale tarring of the American People as “A nation of cowards” while he winks at Black Panther thugs intimidating voters on election day, from a liberal point of view the greatest faux pas that Davis committed was to let the mask slip where the Rubes could see it.

    I have become so thoroughly disgusted with the congenital dishonesty of the Cognoscenti, their deep contempt for the American People when they think no one is listening and their utterly unearned and patently false sense of moral and intellectual superiority that nothing they do or say surprises me anymore.

    I expect the lowest and the worst from them, and they never fail to deliver.

    So no, I don’t accept Davis’ non-apology “apology” because I know before even utters his first syllable that he doesn’t mean a single word of it. If he simply said, “I’m sorry… sorry I got caught — ha ha ha!” then I could believe him.

    Anything else is just another lie.
