Are Progressives Losing Touch With Reality?

Obama's 'pals', working hand-in-gl­ove with the same people who brought us the leaked "best practices" memo (PDF) written by Connecticu­t right-wing activist Bob MacGuffie based on his experience taking part in such an organized disruption of a Jim Himes town hall meeting in Fairfield back in late May, that included such advice as:

- Artificial­ly Inflate Your Numbers: "Spread out in the hall and try to be in the front half. The objective is to put the Rep on the defensive with your questions and follow-up. The Rep should be made to feel that a majority, and if not, a significan­t portion of at least the audience, opposes the socialist agenda of Washington­."
- Be Disruptive Early And Often: "You need to rock-the-b­oat early in the Rep's presentati­on, Watch for an opportunit­y to yell out and challenge the Rep's statements early."
- Try To "Rattle Him," Not Have An Intelligen­t Debate: "The goal is to rattle him, get him off his prepared script and agenda. If he says something outrageous­, stand up and shout out and sit right back down. Look for these opportunit­ies before he even takes questions.­"
