A “MANUFACTURED MEMO” from ThinkProgress?

UPDATE: ABC News:

There were no lobbyist-funded buses in the parking lot of Mardela Middle and High School on Tuesday evening, and the hundreds of Eastern Maryland residents who packed the school?s auditorium loudly refuted the notion that their anger over the Democrats? health care reform plans is ?manufactured.?

?I went to school in this school,? a man named Bob told me. ?I don’t see anyone in this room that isn’t from Mardela Springs right now.?

?We?ve been quiet too long,? said a woman named Joan.

They came to yell at their congressman, freshman Democratic Rep. Frank Kratovil, and they were surprised to hear that the ?Congress in Your Corner? event to which they had been invited — by a robocall from Kratovil himself — was not to be a public airing of grievances, but instead an opportunity for private, one-on-one sessions with the freshman Democrat.

Read the whole thing, which doesn’t fit the narrative the DNC is trying to create.
