AGITATOR-IN-CHIEF "As the DNC and the White House desperately attempt to marginalize and bully the majority of Americans who oppose the government takeover of health care, they're increasingly relying on their media allies to paint the widespread, genuine opposition as 'manufactured' outrage voiced by 'mobs' of 'angry radicals,' " Guy Benson writes in a blog at www.nationalreview.com. "It doesn't take a Ph.D. in psychology to conclude this knee-jerk demonization may represent an acute case of projection. Today's Democratic Party is led by a man who spent much of his adult life specializing in the art of public agitation. Acting as a top organizer for radical groups like ACORN, Barack Obama devoted years to prodding underprivileged Chicagoans to channel their political anger by orchestrating activist mob scenes - designed to coerce businesses and elected officials." Mr. Benson added: "Now that ordinary Americans are rising up to voice their concerns before Congress tries to ram through a complex and risky health care overhaul, the party run by our Organizer-in-Chief has resorted to slandering those citizens and dismissing the authenticity of their worries. "Obama knows what manufactured outrage looks like. After all, he spent years as a skilled outrage manufacturer. Today's frustration, however, is organic, real and growing. Therefore, from Obama's perspective, it's extraordinarily threatening and must be stopped at all costs."
