[Credit where due.]
On Friday’s broadcast network evening newscasts, the CBS Evening News uniquely noted that Democrats in Montana had "orchestrated" a friendly environment for President Obama at a Montana town hall event as many Democrats arrived early to secure tickets. After CBS correspondent Chip Reid filed a report in which he relayed that
"this crowd was on [Obama's] side," and that "the questions were mostly softballs," Reid brought up "orchestration" as one of the reasons for a friendly crowd: "So why wasn't there more anger in here? For one thing, after accusing Republicans of orchestrating their protests, Democrats did some orchestrating of their own, getting in line early in large numbers and snatching up most of the tickets."
On the NBC Nightly News, substitute anchor Ann Curry led with the story:
"The President was to squarely take on the anger we’ve seen in recent weeks over health care reform, flying to a town hall in a conservative part of Montana. The audience, we were told, was not pre-screened. But the meeting was more like a campaign rally than a debate over health care. The President even getting a standing ovation."
[Again, how does one have a 'civil debate' on an issue the opposition is willing to lie to your face about? 'Civility' to those folks is only a half step down from silence, which we all know is interpreted as consent - so what are the realistic options to conveying to our corrupt 'representatives' that the jig is up and we're not buying their stories, given that if we fail to do so we (and worse, our children) will be saddled with government dictated health 'care'?
I.e., raucous discourse is a last-resort option, but the only one these play-actors have left us. ]
