Huh. FTFA:
In contrast to the Sept. 12 tea party protest in Washington, which was sponsored by conservative groups like FreedomWorks and the National Taxpayers Union, Thursday's "house call" is an official House Republican affair - and Democrats say that ought to make the GOP uneasy.
Asked whether he welcomes the protest, Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), assistant to the speaker, said: "I am not going to encourage or discourage it at this point, but I think what this does is show America that you've got the most right-wing voices drowning out the pragmatists."
Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who last month tried to publicly dissuade gay rights activists from marching on Washington, said that he sees the health care protesters as similarly misguided in their tactics. While Frank gives credit to the Republicans for "self-knowledge" - "they need the help" - he says they are looking for it in the wrong place.
"They are an example of a principle I have tried to get activists to understand: The more emotionally satisfying you find an activity, the less it advances your cause," Frank says.
