Pelosi Calls Protesters “Astro-turf” & Sen. Barbara “Don’t Call Me Ma’am” Boxer Says ObamaCare Town Hall Protesters Are “Too Well-Dressed” So Must Be Fake (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on August 5, 2009
Idiotic Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-California)... nicely dressed conservative protesters must be fake
After insulting a distinguished brigadier general and making racist, patronizing remarks to a black business man and head of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, we all knew it wouldn’t be long before Sen. Barbara “Don’t Call Me Ma’am” Boxer would be stupidly insulting someone else. The girl simply can’t help it… Democrat leaders in Congress are fearing that the abrasive Boxer may jeopardize the success of the Waxman-Markey bill. More on that at a later time… however, it’s no secret that Boxer’s approval ratings among California voters have taken a huge nosedive over the past month. Interest in and support for Chuck DeVore is growing.
Democrat leader Nancy “Liar of the House” is no better with her relentless, manic “I want to be the nastiest human being on the face of the earth” personal mission. Great video of the recent protest against Pelosi in Houston: Houston vs. Nancy Pelosi: “We Are No Longer the Silent Majority… Stop Wasting Our Money & Stop Lying”.
Pelosi is now claiming that conservative town hall protesters are mob-like and are brandishing swastikas like Nazis. I’m confused… are these the same protesters who are dressed too well to be AUTHENTIC health care protesters? You gals really need to coordinate your conservative-bashing notes.
I never imagined that Babs and Nan would be insulting ME next. I’m almost flattered to be on their hit lists. How I dress can label me a “real” or a “fake” conservative protester. Knock me over with a feather… How do they identify fake liberal protesters, I wonder? Like the ones hired by the truckload by ACORN and its ilk?
These statist, shrewish bullies are demonizing and insulting American taxpayers and patriots who have attended tea party protests and town hall protests, calling them fakes, “Astro-turf,” and that they have been “too well-dressed.”
What does that even mean, Barbara? Too well-dressed? Were people wearing tiaras and mink stoles? Armani suits? Ballroom gowns?
What in the heck does being “too well-dressed” mean to an elitist politician from California, anyway? Does this woman EVER think before she speaks in front of a camera? Mouth running amuck again…
Where is the marginalizing insult in being “too well dressed” I wonder? I’m suspicious, but I’d rather it be said that conservative protesters dressed too well than to have rich, snarky Democrats like Boxer opining to the MSM that “those hick conservatives at the tea party protests dress like bums or refugees” or “those conservatives dress so poorly at the town hall protests, they would NEVER be invited to a Barbra Streisand peace rally!”
Maybe THAT’S the problem with the left-wing loons… they have a pre-conception that all conservatives who attend these protests are religious zealots and dress much like the mentally challenged, backwoods degenerates from the film Deliverance. Think Oklahoma dust bowl grime and rags, “Grapes of Wrath” fashion duds for the “downtrodden.”
Insulting you yet? Here’s my daughter and her boyfriend at the Phoenix tea party this past April—are THEY too well-dressed or dressed “just right” to be real protesters, Babs?:
Per Sen. Boxer, these are the 'too well-dressed conservatives' who attend protests: My daughter and her boyfriend at 2009 Tax Day Tea Party Protest, Phoenix, AZ

Suffice it to say, at this point, Sen. Boxer has once again shown her out-of-touch wackiness and liberalism. At least this time, she didn’t come across as a racist.
Twice in the video below, Boxer sniffed (nearly got teary-eyed, for goodness sake) that these town hall protests against socialized health care are contrived and fake, the protests are all meant to “hurt Obama.” WHAT? Are you freakin’ kidding me, Senator?
No, Barbara, you moronic twit. It is NOT all about “hurting Obama.” This isn’t high school, you ninny.
These protests are an end result of civil dissension from the people of these United States of America… those same people who pay your salary with their tax dollars and voted you into office. America is still a republic of freedom, and assembly to peacefully demonstrate against the government is still a right in this country. As more people discover the power-grabbing nightmare of the single-payer health care bill, expect more people to be attending these grassroots protests. Protesters are wanting their voices HEARD by their elected officials.
If they aren’t listened to, aren’t respected, or are mocked or demonized like Boxer and Pelosi are wont to do, get rid of them. Out with the monarchy, the totalitarianism thinking and cronyism and corruption in Washington.
Crikey, I can’t even stand to listen to this Boxer moron drone on and on such nonsense in the video below… I just about lost it when she babbled something about using the magic of Ronald Reagan’s name to sooth and quiet the conservative Astro-turf idiots American taxpayers at a town hall protest who were “ready to rumble” and were carrying pitch forks or Molotov cocktails or something like that.
Californians, please, please, vote her out. Sen. Barbara Boxer is one of the many reasons your jewel of a state is on the brink of financial disaster.
Nancy Pelosi is sending out information on how to identify “fake protesters.” Remember, gang, don’t dress too well at these town hall and tea party protests, OK?
Leave those tiaras at home…
Pelosi Calls Health Care Protests ‘Astroturf’
Politics Daily
By Patricia Murphy
August 4, 2009House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office sent out a fact sheet to reporters Tuesday afternoon, calling recent demonstrations at congressional town hall events “Astroturf,” the Washington euphemism for a corporate public relations campaign disguised to look like a grass roots citizen movement.
Pelosi said that while Democrats are putting forth proposals to reform health care, “those not interested in health insurance reform are disrupting public meetings and not allowing concerned constituents to ask questions and express their views. Many of these opponents who are shutting down civil discussion are organized by out-of-district, extremist political groups, and industry-supported lobbying firms.”
The statement, citing numerous media reports, linked disruptions of congressional meetings to the insurance industry and conservative organizations like FreedomWorks, which is run by former House Republican leader Dick Armey.
As opposed to Astroturf opponents, “Democratic members of Congress will continue to talk about the benefits” of health insurance reform, Pelosi said. “Successful, informative constituent meetings are being headlined by Democrats across the country.”
Democratic House members are traveling through their districts, frequently encountering angry crowds opposing health care reform, energy reform and the growing federal deficit. This week, Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) faced a group of protesting constituents, which he called a “mob scene.”
Pelosi’s words are part of a broader Democratic effort to portray the demonstrations as not reflecting real voter sentiment. The DNC and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sent out similar communications on Tuesday.
Take our townhall/tea party poll >>
More town hall protesters who could be “too well-dressed” in Raleigh, North Carolina and Southern California. Not sure how Sen. Boxer would evaluate their clothing as to determine them to be “genuine” or “fake” health care protesters:

As a reminder, Boxer has been openly dismissive of the military and blacks, and her nasty, condescending exchanges have been viewed by countless people on YouTube and on grassroots blogs, and audio replays of Boxer’s snide comments have been listened to on talk radio by millions of Americans. She has no business being in the Senate. Vote her out…

About the author
Have you done anything about the WhiteHouse requesting people “rat” on other citizens?
Roxy,
I have a draft going for it, but it’s not yet ready for posting.
Too many balls in the air here at work and in Obama’s camp… so difficult to keep up with it all, dontcha know…
I’ll keep checking back here for one because I want to link it at my site. You’re blogs are always so thorough and authentic.
Thank you!
Roxy
Ah, shucks… now I’m blushing and have to write it up much better and more thoroughly than I had intended.
Sigh… you’re a tough taskmaster, Roxy girl.
BTW – saw your piece on it… LOVE the photo! Creepy photos are so appropriately “1984″ these days.
Uh, they’re “authentic”?
So they’re not ASTRO-TURF????? Too funny…
ROFL
Roxy, he is using typical Chicago Thug political procedures.
His bible is saul alinsky’s rules for radicals.
The left wing liberals systematically tried to destroy Sarah Palin.
Their attempts have failed, albeit, attempts have only served to make her stronger.
Sarah has a strong backbone, and will never give up. She will come back stronger than ever with the message the American People hunger for.
The Conservative Giant in this Great Country is awakening, and Washington is afraid of it.
[...] Great Blog from my friend and possible future cellmate… Vickie Jump to Comments Click here! [...]
Yea the difference is, SENATOR Boxer, these people showing up at townhall meetings aren’t being picked up in the neighborhood, paid $20 bucks and bussed to someone’s private home to scream obscenities.
I guess this is a whole different kind of protester than the Democrats are familiar with.
This blog is getting better by the day.
Obama promised “transparency” during his campaign.
Well, isn’t his administration becoming more and more transparent ?
Thanks Vicki !!! Well done.
I live in Massachusetts and have seen first-hand what the Democrats on the Federal level are trying to do. I’ll explain; blitzkrieg the masses with legislation before anyone realizes what is going on..because we ‘re too busy working to pay taxes, pass as much legislation that maintains control, increases control over businesses and individuals, create a monolithic number of government employees and eventually the citizens will be beholden to only one party… and “ta da” we have a one party system that is so entrenched you’ll never be able to remove them. They will be perfectly willing to put up with a Republican executive every now and then because it fools the people into thinking that changes have been made when in reality they can still do what they want with a super majority. It’s a beautiful system for the politicians in office because they have constant cover for what they’re really doing.
So the Great Organizer and his hyper-organized union brigades (SEIU among many) have a problem with so-called, astro-turf, organized protests? The SEIU website states: “SEIU’s Change That Works team is planning hundreds of events to ensure elected leaders don’t forget the promises they made on the campaign trail” Sounds like organizing to me.
No proof of “organized” protests exists (conservatives don’t like being “bussed”), but even so, why should it matter? Are Democrats alone allowed to “organize” in the New America?
The Dems answer to these protests is to hit back “twice as hard.” In this regard at least, they stay true, as the SEIU enforcers demonstrate.
Americans (even white, middle-class Americans) aren’t stupid. Condescending “teaching” tours masked as town-hall meetings to “educate” unwashed masses smacks of noblesse oblige. That’s insulting enough, but when conventional wisdom indicates the presenters haven’t read the health reform bill, it shifts the onus of stupidity to these dog-and-pony show sponsors.
What were they expecting?
A Mrs. Powell once asked Ben Franklin: “…what have we got, a monarchy or a republic?” Franklin answered, “A republic, if you can keep it.” That’s the underlying question that giving rise to current town hall questions and criticisms of O’s health care bill.
Further, jack-booted union enforcers only serve to galvanize opposition. Obama understands the power of organizing. A grass-roots movement, once organized, will be the undoing of the man who would be king. And he knows it.
Does Barbara think the Republicans are overpaying their protesters because they are so well dressed? She really doesn’t have a clue, does she? Too, funny.
Barbara is a shame to women and to any responsible representative in Washington D.C. She is one of my senators. She never fails to vote for anything and everything that will spend MY money, act as if SHE has taken it from HER bank account and tell others they owe allegiance to her by keeping her in power. Her views on our energy resources are antiquated controlled by 40 year-old experiences and special interest donors.
Enter Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, running for the senate in 2010. Well read and experienced in new technologies to gain revenues for California and taking advantage of our own resources. Chuck DeVore honors the military and makes such statements as “as mere elected official he can represent America but our men and women who serve in our military ARE America.” Chuck is one of the only true fiscal conservatives in the CA legislature. He will continue to do that in the Senate, but only IF WE give him that chance. He has recently been endorsed by the Independence Caucus after answering 80 vetting questions and an indepth look at his voting record. He is the ONLY candidate with the distinction of being given a “fast track” endorsement due to his answers and consistent voting record.
WE have to give him that chance. The good old boys in D.C. want someone to run with their own fortunes and name recognition only. The do not care if they are RINOS or have NO voting record what so ever. I truly recommend you take a look at him if you want real change in Washington D.C. He is the grassroots candidate.
Phyllis, I totally agree with you.
I’ve been researching Chuck DeVore this past month, and at this point in time, I’m extremely impressed with his background, patriotism, and fiscally responsible philosophies. Keep sounding the alarm in California, Phyllis… educate your friends and family, help make voters know that Boxer is a self-serving menace and a disgrace. Everything I’ve read about her track record is embarrassing. She has forgotten that she is an ELECTED servant of the people… too much attention is paid to her own grandstanding, and not enough responsible legislation for the people of California. She’s reckless, abrasive, and arrogant and I think she’s one of the bitchiest female politicians I’ve ever seen.
DeVore is a far better choice to help get CA out of the financial disaster it is in.
Hopefully Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Reid and others of their ilk will be history after the next elections. Some of them can be thrown out at the 2010 mid-terms. Unfortunately, too many of their consitutents are just as looney as they are so we will have to wait and see if the rage against government takeovers has hit California and Nevada. Grade your representative at GradeGov.com
Like the Kennedy’s in Massachusetts, the Pelosi’s, Reid’s, and others are going to get re-elected because of their super liberal constituents. Our only hope remains in other parts of the country. Can you imagine voting for Nancy Pelosi? She’s exposed herself as being pretty dumb intellectually and politically and she’s speaker of the house? Were gay people “un-American” when they protested for their rights? Unfortunately the people in her district are pretty dumb… obviously. These are the same people questioning Sarah Palin’s intelligence? Are you kidding me? Sarah Palin has guts, political savvy, morals, class, and lives by the standards she sets for others. No wonder she is so dangerous to the left and why they keep attacking her. My “dream ticket” would be Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin in 2012. Mitt Romney is one of those individuals we could compare with our founding fathers and a courageous leader and so isn’t Sarah Palin. I know courage and actual integrity when I see it and because of my job I really can see it clearly and Obama has NO courage or integrity yet Mitt and Sarah have a lot of it. I can only hope…
Totally agree… Pelosi doesn’t realize she’s committing career suicide. She was interviewed last week about how low her approval numbers were. The woman said she didn’t care. Delusional.
I have high regard for Mitt Romney. He has a strong business background, which is what our country/economy needs. Proven economic principles put into action rather than the Utopian fantasies of a community organizer. I think coupling Romney with Palin would make for an interesting combination of leadership.
