Think Progress’ report on Health Care Town Halls opens with this sparkling lede:

ThinkProgress reported today on the growing number of angry right-wing activists viciously harassing Democratic, as well as moderate Republican, members of Congress on health care reform. Jonathan Cohn wrote that these tactics represent “classic astroturf organizing, in some cases bankrolled by the health care industry.”

Like many of you I’ve watched the videos and yes, the average Americans that are present sure look like right-wing extremist activists to me. After all, surely the lumpenproletariat accept that the left-wing elites in power know what is best for them, and thus stand in unison with the President and desire health care rationing! It must be the work of an outside agitation group. How dare they raise their voices in unison against HHS Secretary Sibelius and Senator Specter! They were vicious! Sit down and be quiet while your betters tell you what is best for you!

A startling expose, titled Gateway Pundit: PROOF OF LOBBYIST INFILTRATION at Health Care Town Hall Events! gets to the bottom of the astroturf infiltration. Wait – what’s this? Far-left greenies advocating higher gas prices? At a health-care event? And those are the only infiltrators? Oh – well, never mind. Let’s make sure this doesn’t get reported.
