Charles Krauthammer on Fox said the health care townhall protests were hurting their cause, but Gallup says otherwise:
PRINCETON, NJ — More than two-thirds of Americans (69%) are closely following news accounts of town hall meetings on healthcare reform, and while 34% say the protests make them more sympathetic to the protestors’ viewpoints and 21% say the protests make them less sympathetic, almost half either say the protests haven’t affected their views either way or have no opinion.
Charles is not the only one. So think lots of others within the beltway.
I have long thought the left hijacked the term “liberal.” This sort of thing confirms my belief:
A book discussion in Oak Park was canceled Monday after the village’s gay community took offense at the subject matter – that there’s a cure for gayness.
With gay community abuzz, event canceled
Later: Are there cafeteria liberals?
Last night the irrepressible Mort Kondracke further graced his Fox News panel slot with a blame-it-on-Limbaugh comment about denunciations of ObamaCare at townhall meetings.
The host Bret Baier had reported a flood of email objections to Kondracke’s and Charles Krauthammer’s slamming of protestors’ behavior — acknowledging neither the indignation it represented nor its grassroots nature.
