Title: Liberal groups launch town hall counteroffensive

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Liberal groups are sending supporters detailed instructions on strategies to counter what they call organized disruptions of congressional town halls — events that have become new front lines in the fight over health-care reform.

Conservative groups critical of Democrats’ overhaul proposals headed into the August recess with their own battle plans for the events, sending out information such as links to search engines; lists that relayed the locations of upcoming town halls; confrontational questions to ask members of Congress; and chants and slogans to use in and around the venues.

The increasingly tense face-offs have grabbed headlines, and national Democrats have spent the week highlighting reports of everything from rowdy crowds to physical assaults and death threats directed at lawmakers who are current or prospective backers of the president’s plan.

Over the past few days, groups including Health Care for America Now; the AFL-CIO, which is describing the town halls as the “principal battleground” in the health-care fight; and Organizing for America, the president’s campaign arm at the Democratic National Committee, have sent supporters logistical tips for dealing with any hostile conservative presence at the town halls, and for organizing lobbying efforts to neutralize their impact.

Uhm, I think that is what they are hoping for.  They want to provoke a confrontation.  And just how do you think that will be spun by the lame stream media?

Beat them up to.
 Actually I was alluding using the tactics that Nazi's and communists used, Beat up people who were going to speak against them, break up opposition rallies, that sort of thing.
Actually , busting up press's and wrecking studio's was part of it as well just generally terrorize them before the BO regime gets to start doing it to US.

Organized disruptions my behind.  The only thing organizing the people speaking up are the organized politicians of the new ruling class.  It always chaps me that liberals biggest fears are that someone would to do to them what they are planning for someone else.  I remember paid DNC hecklers...heck...what did that really matter though...the RINO's sold us out.

We need to deal with the RINO's the same way we deal with the socialists. If they want to work with the socialists they should register democrap.
