Boxer: Protesters too well dressed to be sincere

Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) appeared on Hardball last night in support of the Left’s attempt to discredit the people showing up to townhalls in protest of ObamaCare. Boxer says she can tell that they’re fakes, because they’re too well dressed. How does she know that this is a problem? Because well-dressed people apparently told her to get the hell out of Florida in the Bush-Gore recount, too:

That explanation is a classic. If it’s true at all, she probably stunned the Floridians with the sheer stupidity of her non-sequitur. Ronald Reagan would not have gone into Florida to tell them how to conduct their recount; he had too much respect for state sovereignty in those issues. I almost laughed out loud when Boxer trotted that out on national TV.

On her main point, we’ve hosted the videos here at Hot Air. In my recollection, the people in the town halls are dressed in T-shirts, jeans, shorts, halter tops, and the like. Maybe the people need to strip down to their Boxers in order to be considered sincere.

Brian Walsh, communications director of the NRSC, responds to Boxer’s weird bout of sartorial paranoia:

“When you consider that Barbara Boxer considers Code Pink and MoveOn.org protestors to be ‘her base,’ it’s understandable that a Senator representing the left wing fringe would be confused when ordinary Americans engage in free speech. But the fact of the matter is that across the country, Americans of all backgrounds are standing up and saying ‘no’ to the Democrats spending and health-care takeover proposals.”

And Americans of all clothing tastes as well.

she may be correct about one thing, "It's to change our Congress"

Well, let's take a look at one. Here is Austin, TX, August 1, 2009. I see t-shirts, cargo shorts, jeans, baseball caps, and some common cotton short sleeve button-up shirts.

so remember to wear these types of clothing when disagreeing with the Obama agenda, so the WH doesn't mislabel you or pigeon holing you into their perception of what a RWE dresses like.

The White House on Tuesday dismissed protests against President Obama's health care reforms in multiple states over the weekend as "manufactured anger" orchestrated by right wing groups and the Republican party.

"I hope people will take a jaundiced eye to what is clearly the Astroturf nature of grass-roots lobbying," said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs during a morning off-camera session in his office with reporters.

"This is manufactured anger," he said.

manufactured by who, might be asked. Further division? How will they market this?

my guess as RWE

to well dressed?

looked like a cross section of almost any small town...

but since they didn't bus in a bunch of scraggly Colene kids who hadn't showered in a few weeks... it's not a legitimate protest.. :roll: :roll: :wink:

Liberals are falling off the deep end. Washington is finding themselves pretty similar to this message board. For years they were on offense against Bush now they find it difficult to defend Obama and it is driving them crazy! Hopefully liberals in Washington will run away and quit like the liberals on here did!

I count 7 strikes against her in that opening sentence.

The rest of that read was no surprise. If she fits in with that home base she is so proud of, she should stick to her roles and responsibilities as Senator from CALIFORNIA. She can't take the heat elsewhere so she needs to stay the heck out of the kitchen.
