Group of healthcare professionals in Mississippi on Obamacare: "It’s the fine print that scares us"

Chad Groening writes on tonight’s gathering in Topelo, Mississippi:
A group of healthcare professionals are gathering in one Mississippi community Thursday night to educate the public about the healthcare proposals currently being considered in the House and Senate.It is truly a grassroots effort. About a half dozen doctors and dentists will speak at a church in Tupelo about what they believe are the horrors of the healthcare reform bills being pushed by President Obama and Democratic leaders. Dr. Ed Holliday is a Tupelo dentist who will be speaking at tonight’s gathering.
“If [this legislation] passes, Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin will leap out of their graves to high-five Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and then head over to the White House for a fist-bump,” says the spokesman. “That’s the kind of radical plan that they’re pushing down America’s throat. It’s the fine print that scares us.“
According to Holliday, this will be the third town hall meeting of its kind in Mississippi.
“It’s not unlike what’s happening all over the nation,” he shares, “where our community is coming together because we have citizens who are very, very concerned about the national healthcare plan that’s coming out of our Congress, and what they’re talking about and debating.”

Does this sound like it’s a manufactured angry mob, as the DNC and the White House is calling Americans speaking out against the Dems’ healthcare bill?
I don’t believe so. As the editors of NRO write, the accusations are just more White House chicanery; it is nothing less than Insult and Injury against the American people and indicative of how President Obama thinks and does business.
The Obama gang is derided, often and justly, for practicing cheap racial politics, but even more poisonous, if less remarked upon, is its class politics. The entire intellectual infrastructure behind the stimulus, the bailouts, the auto-industry takeover, and the proposed health-care takeover rests on the assumption that the people who staff the Obama administration are smarter, better, more caring, and more decent than you yahoos out there in the general public, who simply cannot be trusted to make your own decisions about important matters, such as what sort of health insurance to purchase or whether to buy a car that gets 20 miles per gallon or 22 miles per gallon. Given that line of thinking, it’s easy to understand why Obama’s partisans would dismiss those citizens who dare to criticize his proposal as “the mob.”
