ABC News: The Anti-ObamaCare Outrage Seems Authentic

by Stephan Tawney on August 5, 2009

There’s a good reason for that: It is real outrage. Democrats have lost the health care argument on the facts, so the unions and liberal groups are resorting to sliming those speaking out against it by claiming they’re mobs backed by shadow groups.

There were no lobbyist-funded buses in the parking lot of Mardela Middle and High School on Tuesday evening, and the hundreds of Eastern Maryland residents who packed the school’s auditorium loudly refuted the notion that their anger over the Democrats’ health care reform plans is “manufactured.”

“I went to school in this school,” a man named Bob told me. “I don’t see anyone in this room that isn’t from Mardela Springs right now.”

“We’ve been quiet too long,” said a woman named Joan…

“I am here because I understand that I do represent you folks, okay?” Kratovil said, after entering the auditorium to applause. “The opinions that you folks have, I need to know. There are legitimate concerns.”

Just then, someone in the audience shouted back, “Our freedom is being taken from us!”…

“You’re deceiving us! You’re trying to shove this stuff through,” one woman yelled.

“I’m not! But I hear you,” Kratovil pleaded.

“This bill is un-American,” said another voter, who asked whether Kratovil has read it.

“I am reading it right now,” he said.

Americans are tired of lies from the White House and governmental plans that plunge the nation further into debt, all in return for the destruction of our way of life. Poll after poll shows the public at large firmly against the legislation. So they’re speaking out against ObamaCare, and they’re speaking out loudly.
