While GOP crazies lay siege to town halls across America, some in Washington are starting to wave the white flag on health care reform. We can&#8217;t let that happen. We need medicine, not mobs; doctors, not death threats. That&#8217;s why we produced our latest video.

<p>While GOP crazies lay siege to town halls across America, some in Washington are starting to wave the white flag on health care reform. We can&#8217;t let that happen. We need medicine, not mobs; doctors, not death threats. That&#8217;s why we produced our latest video.</p>
<p>If you see something, say something.</p>
<p><strong>Use the twitter hashtag #GOPcrazy to aggregate images, stories and video of outlandish right-wing antics.</strong> We&#8217;ll be monitoring the feed, and in our next video using the content you flag to push back on the crazies.</p>
<p>The mob scare tactic isn&#8217;t new.</p>
<p>Generations of right-wingers and know-nothings have used it to foil reform. In 2000, an &#8216;angry mob of ordinary Floridians&#8217; forced a stop to the Miami-Dade recount and helped win George Bush his 1st 4 years of disastrous presidency.</p>
<p>In 2004, the &#8216;Swiftboat Veterans for Truth&#8217; led the right-wing vitriol towards John Kerry, winning Bush yet another 4 years of mayhem.</p>
<p><strong>Now, the mob is back, and after bringing us 8 years of George W. Bush, they&#8217;re trying to hijack Barack Obama&#8217;s presidency too. </strong>But this time, the good guys know what&#8217;s up, and we&#8217;re doing something about it.</p>
<p>For too long the right has used the mob to distract, delay and deter progressives from tackling the most important issues we face as a nation.  What we&#8217;re seeing now on health care is no exception &#8211; in fact, it&#8217;s the rule.</p>
<p>If you see spectacular right-wing mob activity, twitter it with the hashtag #GOPcrazy.</p>
<p><strong>This time, let&#8217;s help the crazies dig their own grave.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The National Taxpayers Union thought it would be cute to produce a <a href="http://techpresident.com/blog-entry/seeing_your_own_reflection_visualizations" target="_blank">wildly deceptive visualization</a> of Obama&#8217;s rhetoric and the (as of yet, unwritten) healthcare bill in the House.  We decided they needed a little pushback.</p>
<p>Their propaganda is actually a pretty clever tool &#8211; it tries to &#8216;unmask&#8217; Obama&#8217;s language on health care reform with word clouds.  However, with 40 million Americans and counting uninsured and with inadequate care, we thought it would be nice to have a counterpoint to their free-market propaganda, and made up this little piece to highlight the GOP&#8217;s obsession with stopping Obama&#8217;s health care reform plans:</p>
