First, I am a liberal and I believe what both of these women did was detestable. But these lies at the town hall events is not something that is only done by liberals. Heather Blich (might have spelled that wrong), a women who claimed that she was "just a mom" with no political affiliation was found to have been the vice chair of the republican party in her district and even ran for an office. Apparently she was causing a huge ruckus at the town hall event she went to. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1NyJgvjWi0" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1NyJgvjWi0</a> It's stupid and ignorant to think that all REAL doctors are on your side. Here is a video from Larry King with three doctors who disagree. Notice that this argument is civil and there is nobody calling anybody a Nazi. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dqXV08lPg4" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dqXV08lPg4</a> If you really want news, your best place to get it nowadays is factcheck.org. Of course both sides are now immune to facts and are rampantly spreading the stupidity. I hate it when people say "those liberals".

But I then thought, Hey! They are supporting starving actors!! Why not?! In this time of intense emotions, why not get actors involved?! It's a way of supporting the arts!! Who would of thought.... I mean, they even had a script, and a staged skit, and everything. I had to apologize to him for not being sensitive to the plight of the starving actors out there. (I would like to know what she got paid for her efforts.) Lets keep artistic efforts out of our real and imperative political issues.

The really appalling thing is that they see nothing wrong with this sort of deception "for a good cause". Goldberg writes about exactly this sort of thing in "Liberal Fascism". Apparently these tactics go back a long way, to the early 20th century. The Left thinks this is a justifiable form of "mythmaking". "Truth is that which serves the Party."

Have this sleazy twit's records sealed quickly? Like her boss'? How about filing a complaint with the local authorities? -- Minimum charge: aiding and abetting of, and conspiracy to commit, fraud ?! File the same charge against the WH and the Democrats in Congress ?! Why not? Surely they're in on it? Oh, wait, I forgot: We got to impeach them first, and they have the majority in the House, so it can't be done. Tricky, tricky ! Great (NEGATIVE) publicity, though ! Spread the word and make it backfire ! Now we know "what there is in the bill that creates such panic". Thanks, Roxy, we're ever so grateful ! We'll indict you anyway, though, Roxana. You forgot that it's we, the voters, who sit on Grand Juries, and that what you did in this context was no prank, but a felony. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Roxy! Tell us, Roxana, were you also paid by OFA ?! SEIU ?! Any other group ?! It's all gonna come out anyway. Sure ? Crooks and cheats and liars and phonies, a whole Administration full of them. Have this sleazy twit's records sealed quickly?

The liberals are losing and getting desperate, they will try anything and everything. If anyone in the audience is friendly towards a congressman or president, you can pretty well know that person is a paid plant. This person should be sent to prison and heavily fined.
