Protesters are, in fact, fascists
While the possibility of astro-turfing is no doubt there, I think the way that some representatives (i.e. those I dislike) are imploding as they lash out. It seems more like a paranoid attempt to explain away unfavorable protesters to a healthcare bill that no one really understands, which leads into my next point.
If the Democrats were more intelligent in the "carrying-through" of the healthcare bill, it would be a paper that says This is what the Healthcare Bill will do for you than simply say "Trust us guys, this is in your best interests". I don't really know what is in the bill, and I'm not planning on surfing the web to find an 18-page report on the first paragraph of the bill, let alone a summary of what the bill will do, what it will cover, etc. etc. I will say that the Republican "let's just hate on it because it's a Democrat bill" is a little childish, but I do wish they'd figure out a nice bill to counter the Democrats one.
