DEMOCRATIC CULTURE SHOCK: “The Democrats are understandably stunned. They and those sympathetic to them do control everything—the White House, Congress, the mainstream media, the popular culture, and elite education. And they still—despite all that power—can’t get the public to pipe down and go along quietly with their planned takeover of health care. What is wrong with everyone? You can sense the anger, the resentment. And the panic.”

UPDATE: The White House is “feeling victimized.”

Plus, from David Freddoso:

White House spokesman Bill Burton’s statement on television earlier today that people are showing up at health care town halls dressed up as Hitler was outlandish enough that I had to call the White House and ask if there is anything to substantiate it.

As of this evening, the White House has offered no explanation for this bizarre claim.

All that would prove is that some people think the President is Hitler, a position that was recently quite mainstream. . . . Plus, from the comments: “I swear I saw one of the White House staffers dressed in a SS uniform with a can of black spray paint in front of David Scott’s district office in the dark of the night.” Heh.
