It’s pretty obvious that the Dems aren’t happy being on the receiving end of the kind of protests they themselves were orchestrating during the Bush years. For the last few days they’ve been running around like mad, labeling everyone who disagrees with the President’s health care plan part of a lying, out of control mob.  Barbara Boxer, however, has an different bone to pick with the anti-health care crowd.  According to the California Democrat, they’re too “well dressed.”

Evidently, Boxer prefers her protesters to be of the old-school, pot smoking hippie variety, and these new-fangled well dressed activists have frightened and confused her. She claims their sole goal is to “hurt president Obama,” and says she hasn’t seen such well dressed people “doing this” since she was in Florida during the recount fiasco. 

Hmmmm they were difficult to dismiss back then, too.  Maybe they’re onto something.  Perhaps they’ve decided that they’ll be taken more seriously if the don’t look like they crawled away from the lawn seating at a Dave Matthews concert.

Babs has clearly forgotten that “Dissent is the Highest Form Of Patriotism,” an axiom the Dems loved to spout during the wild Iraq war protests faced by the previous administration.

I suggest someone send her this bumper sticker, available at every one’s favorite liberal supply shop, Irregular Goods.
