As Obama-lovers in the media hyperventilate over every incident they believe confirms their most derogatory view of Tea Party members and anyone voicing opposition to what's happening in the United States, will they give attention to the fact that the White House is using the publicity as a fundraising vehicle?
Consider that question as you read the following posting by OFA Director Mitch Stewart (h/t Cubachi):
We knew that power concedes nothing. So did President Obama. So did the members of Congress who courageously voted for reform, knowing that the special interests and the extreme right wing would retaliate swiftly.
The attacks are fierce. Deceptive ads are hitting the airwaves in swing districts. GOP lawmakers are pushing to repeal reform -- and preventing the Senate from performing basic functions. A few Republican attorneys general have launched a baseless attack to overturn the legislation. But that's not even the worst of it.
A conservative blogger posted the home address of Congressman Tom Perriello, urging tea partiers to "drop by." Other members have had death threats. Democratic offices have been vandalized.
Can you chip in $25 or more to defend health reform -- and those in Congress who fought to make it possible?
That's right, folks: the White House campaign arm is using these incidents as a fundraiser so that it can try to convince unhappy Americans that healthcare reform is good for them.
If you were a journalist, would you find this interesting?
