Hillary Clinton may have coined the phrase, "a willing suspension of disbelief" to describe the Bush administration, but watching the Obamabots in the media and Congress react to a rising tide of fed-up Americans, it is hard to think of a more appropriate description.

On April 16th, a day after the first nationwide protest of our now out-of-control government, the sycophants on every television network took to the airwaves to belittle the legitimacy of what had taken place.  Dan Harris explained on ABC News that the tea party protests were "actually largely orchestrated by people fronting for corporate interests."  CBS News reporter Dean Reynolds proclaimed they were manufactured protests by a "fistful of rightward leaning websites and commentators."  And NBC's Lee Cowan (the genius who admitted during the campaign that it was "hard to stay objective" when reporting on Obama) suggested that "not all of it was as home-grown as it may seem."

But as the tea party events have led directly into vocal protests at Congressional town hall meetings, their desperate attempts to discredit this emerging Obama Resistance have gotten downright humorous. 

Democrat Congressmen have flooded onto their home network, MSNBC, to tout their belief that there is nothing grassroots about this movement...that it is all fabricated.  Senator Barbara Boxer berated the "well dressed middle class people in pinks and limes" as phony.  Doing his part to carry the Democrat message, Chris Matthews suggested that the protests be ignored because these citizens are merely stooges of the healthcare industry.

And several Democrats have decided to follow his advice, cancelling their town hall meetings altogether.  Congressmen Reid, Honda, Lofgren, Eshoo, Baird, Castor, Shuler, DeGette, Edwards, Tanner, Inslee, Kissel, Shaheen, Ellsworth, Bayh, and Hill all have decided against doing their jobs.  And apparently believing that arrogantly snubbing your constituents wasn't insulting enough, Indiana Democrat Baron Hill decided to take it up a notch by declaring citizens in his district who oppose the Democrat plan as, "political terrorists."  Classy.

Even Presidential Press Secretary Robert Gibbs got into the act, telling reporters to take a critical look at, "the AstroTurf nature of so-called grass-roots lobbying."  A man who owes his job to the AstroTurf lobbying of groups like ACORN, labor unions, and liberal philanthropists is now going to accuse this diverse collection of concerned citizens of being fake?  But Gibbs wasn't done, stating just recently that the town halls are "not completely indicative of what's going on in America."  Keep telling yourself that, Mr. Gibbs. 

But perhaps the funniest example of this nonsense came from Obama's Democratic National Committee.  The group put out an ad to attempt to stem the tide of opposition, and to rally the Obamabots to his defense.  In the ad (replayed ad nauseam on MSNBC), the DNC claims to reveal the secret Republican cabal that is orchestrating these events.  These surreptitious masterminds are trying to give the illusion of mass resistance to Obama-style socialism when there really is none, the DNC argues.  After highlighting ominous commands from a mysterious directive that call for protestors to spread out throughout the room and offer intermittent shouts of displeasure, the DNC voiceover concludes this behavior is, "straight from the playbook of high-level Republican political operatives."  As it turns out, the directive the DNC cites is actually a blog post from a man named Bob MacGuffie in Fairfield, Connecticut who ran a Facebook page with 23 members and had a Twitter account with 5 followers!

Anyone with a brain can recognize what is going on in this country.  There is a growing backlash against a socialist revolution that average Americans didn't see coming and that they do not want.  It is a mutiny against what columnist Peggy Noonan calls, "change they do not believe in."  But the Democratic Party is choosing not to accept that reality.  And though that may cause frustration on the part of their constituents wanting to express concerns, I am thrilled with the left's decision to belittle us.

Why?  It was no accident when leftist comedian Bill Maher called the U.S. a "stupid country."  It was no mistake when liberal reporter Andrea Mitchell said Americans "may not know what's good for them."  It was no misstatement when President Obama said "only government" can solve our problems.  Left-wing elites like these have always viewed the common man with contempt, but they have always been adept at masking that condescension in the name of compassion.  This time however, their disgust with average citizens is being revealed.

So go ahead, liberal Democrats...mock us.  Go on MSNBC and CNN and suggest we're all phonies.  Continue ignoring what is boiling over and choose to believe that what you are seeing at your town hall meetings are just cardboard cutouts and non-voting, disengaged, mindless robots.  Embrace your "willing suspension of disbelief."  Nah, we're not real...but we are looking forward to election day.
