DUSTIN GAWRYLOW: SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS TRY TO HIJACK RALLY
Tuesday, March 16, 2010
Today, as part of the National "Honk No" On Healthcare Rally, a rally was held in Bismarck, North Dakota at the Federal Building. The concept was that people would honk their horns as they passed to voice their opposition to government-run healthcare.
Supporters of Government Healthcare (AFL-CIO, ND-People.org, SEIU, and others) also showed up and decided to highjack the rally - even brining their own signs saying "Honk FOR Healthcare."
They thought this would be effective, half their "protesters" we either paid political staffers or union big-wigs (i.e. David Kemnitz of the AFL-CIO).
The video speaks for itself, but it just proves once again that supporters of government-run healthcare are simply more interested in drowning out their opposition than in passing actual reforms.
Obviously, if their government healthcare plans were popular they would not have to try to confuse people with a basic protest.
