Once upon a time our president wasn#%92t always down on dissent. After all, he was a community organizer way before he ever became a politician.
“Go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face,” Senator Obama told his supporters on the campaign trail in fall of 2008.
The White House has called the uproar at recent town halls on health care “manufactured outrage.” Senator Harry Reid calls the concerned citizens speaking their minds “loud, shrill voices.” Nancy Pelosi called protesters ***, who are "carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care." There is no evidence on this whatsoever
But the polling discredits their charges. According to a recent Quinnipiac poll, on Obama#%92s effort to overhaul of the health-care system, 52 percent disapprove of his handling of the issue while 39 percent approve. Disapproval jumped 10 points in the last month alone, and 60 percent of Independents – a key voting block – disapprove of the plan. Bottom line: the outrage is real.
By dismissing the anger of conservatives, moderates, libertarians, conservative democrats and independents the administration looks out of touch and appallingly arrogant. In fact, it will hurt them even more because Obama promised to listen to the concerns of the citizens, not operate with a tin ear.
Once upon a time, liberals prided themselves, with considerable reason, as the staunchest defenders of free speech. Now they are its fiercest opponents. In case they have forgotten, the root of the word "democrat" means power to the people. That means ALL people. Even when they aren#%92t wearing tie dye

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2009/08/06/andrea-tantaros-obama-community-organizer/ the following is my opinion.,
The government is doing its best to silence the free speech of citizens who are
exercising their right to disagree with policies that the government want to shove
down their throats. This health care bill will take away more than your right to
choise your own healthcare. It is going to invade your life in ways you can not
imagine.
I suggest you turn yourself in, Let the White house censors know what you think.
tell them what you want in health care. YOU want the same care as the Judicial,
the Legisative, and Exectutive branches get, and that we pay for.
And if they don't want to do that, tell them since they are Americans, and all men
are created equal under the Constitution of the United States they must accept
the same health care policies that they are giving us.
