Lobbying group video idealizes Taxpayer March on Washington

The accompanying video, posted earlier today by Frank Strategies, offers an idealized look at the Taxpayers March on Washington, right down to covering the "with Kennedy" part on the sign that says "Bury Obamacare with Kennedy." Though the video includes a number of shots at President Obama, apparently the poor taste of the Kennedy sign was a bit too much.

Frank Strategies is a lobbying firm and supporter of big money interests and has played a key role in making many of the tea party rallies appear to be spontaneous demonstrations of outraged citizens, when, quite a few have been orchestrated by the insurance and pharmaceutical interests that will have to change their way of doing business if healthcare reform takes place:

I take it your point now is that people who don’t agree with you are not only stupid raciest but are also mindless puppets.

No I believe he is just pointing out the tasteless Republicans who will go to any links to make a point. They have proved many times in townhall meetings, disrespectful outbursts towards the president in an address to congress, etc... I could go on and on. They just sound like poor losers to me who act like a bunch of babies when they don't get their way. They resort to sarcasm, fear tactics, child like behavior rather than trying to be a constructive solution to helathcare. Typical!

Not everyone thought Ted Kennedy was wonderful. I find the entire Kennedy bunch a spoiled and poor excuse of a family, but that's just my opinion and I don't try to put it on other people like some people seem to do!

For me, it doesn't really have anything to do with anyone's opinion of Ted Kennedy, it is just a matter of the sign being in extremely poor taste.

But Randy, don't you have to admit that these days poor taste is in style? If you're self promoting or outrageous they put you on tv or make a hero out of you!

Sadly, that is true, but you still have to keep on fighting against it.
