Now they're just lashing out at anyone who dares to question Obamacare. So what if it's one of their own constituents and a Democrat. Rep. David Scott (D-GA) lashed out at a local doctor who asked about his support for the health care reform, assuming he was an imported plant, since that's what his playbook told him to expect.
You can read the summary at Red State, and watch the video (highly recommended, though you've got to wait through a commercial) below:
I'm surprised he didn't accuse him of carrying a swastika...
Update: After watching the video again, the man (Dr, David Hill), says he's not a Republican. He doesn't say he's a Democrat, but very well could be. Of course he could be registered in any number of other fringe parties as well.
It's interesting that in the video the Congressman, who is black, refers to Hill, who is white, as "you people." If the colors were reversed this video would be leading the nightly news...

How dare the man question a congressman who knows what's best for his constituents. (sarcasm)

Why does the word ARROGANCE immediately jump to mind? Makes you wonder who is supposed to be working for who.

Nice to see a politician actually help to create the commercial that will cost him his next election.

That is so precious. The Dems are the masters of astroturfing so they assume the TeaPartiers and TownHallers are plants.
Just like this from LookingAtTheLeft.com: describing a photo of a woman at Pelosi's disasterous visit to Denver a couple days ago
" This is Laura Avant. She has a degree in social working science, is a substitute teacher, and has been unemployed for seven years. She is taking names for a petition and when I asked her how she found out about the event she said "My organizer called me." I said "You're kidding." She said, "No, look: he's right there -pointing to the guy with the bullhorn - he's from Organizing for America."
At this point, a number of the astroturfers departed, including Laura. She told me that transportation was waiting to take them to Nancy Pelosi's next event at Highlands Ranch. "

In the Remaining Minutes, We'll Take Questions on any Subject Err...Except That Subject.
The DNC keep pitching avoidance and deception, and let's hope the fiscal conservatives can keep pitching the spririted, but real issues in this government attempt to takeover 1/6th of the US economy.
