New DNC Ad Slams GOP's 'Angry Mobs'

Dems use town hall protests to fire back

Share

(Newser) – In a new online ad, Democrats return fire at “angry mobs” driven by the Republican Party, the Huffington Post reports. “They lost the election. They lost on the Recovery Act, the budget and children’s health care,” says the ad. “Now, desperate Republicans and their well-funded allies are organizing angry mobs. Their goal? Destroy President Obama and stop the change Americans voted for overwhelmingly in November.”

The ad asserts that “the right-wing extremist Republican base”—including the birther movement—has taken over the party. “We aren’t going to back down from this shit,” says an official at the Democratic National Committee, which yesterday emphasized for reporters “particularly outrageous” disruptions at town-hall meetings, hoping “to turn the anger of the crowds into a rallying point for proponents of reform,” writes Sam Stein.

It's about time! The Democrat's won the election and Republican's just cant deal with their loss of power. The GOP needs to recruit some brains back into their party fast or they will be out of power for a very long time. Reply

Yes, smarter, think-for-themselves, people could only help the GOP...that and kick out the enemies-from-within agent provocateurs like Obama-supporter Colin Powell and his RINO sellouts. After the Dems implode by their own hand, it will be much easier. Thanks!

Powell is an American supporter. He saw and dealt with shit that you and I could never even dream about during the Shrub error. He knows the evil, he knew what 4 more years of the Neo-Cons would do to his great nation. You should do some thinking and devise why a republican would turncoat his party.

It IS about time!! The vast majority of Americans want these changes. The GOP is so very skiilled with their fear messages that they are taking advantage of their "less informed" base and Dems are playing some sort of "above the fray" strategy that is losing big time points. I hope they are waking up!! Reply
