NRCC communications director Ken Spain just sent us this comment on the Democratic National Committee’s denunciation of the demonstrations at Democratic members’ town halls, which the DNC referred to as “angry mobs of a small number of rabid right wing extremists funded by K Street Lobbyists”:
“What Democrats call ‘mob rule’ the average American calls ‘democracy.’ Is this the strategy Democrats had in mind when they promised to galvanize public opinion regarding their unpopular massive government-takeover of healthcare? This hyper-defensive reaction from the Democrat Party speaks volumes about the precarious position their members find themselves in. Speaker Pelosi and other party leaders dubbed this recess a healthcare ‘offensive,’ but little did we know the ‘offensiveness’ would be aimed at their own constituents. These kinds of despicable characterizations of middle class Americans, who oppose trillions in mounting government debt, as elements of the partisan ‘fringe’ smacks of elitism.”
