Personalizing your demons...

Mr. Montgomery showed up at the town hall meeting with the President in Belgrade, Montana and personalized the current enemy of the Democrats' health care reform agenda, the big bad insurance companies.
The President and the Democrat leadership have retooled their attack message in recent weeks, accusing insurance companies of arbitrarily dropping coverage for the smallest of mistakes and most trivial of reasons. These immoral insurance companies are only interested in making themselves sick rich at the expense of the sick and poor, we're told. If you have a pre-existing condition the evil insurance companies will laugh as they drop the hammer with the "DENIED" stamp on your forehead.
All hyperbole aside, there are undoubtedly instances in which people lose coverage or go without. Hyperbole, however, is Mr. Obama's stock and trade.
During the town hall meeting Mr. Obama even recounted a tale of a man whose coverage was suddenly dropped in the midst of chemotherapy treatment for developing gallstones. He died. You may too. It's only a matter of time before they get to you, before they drop you, before you go bankrupt.
But then the President took a question from an unassuming fellow in a light blue colored shirt, who explained that he sells private insurance for a living. "Why are you vilifying the insurance companies?" he asked.
Suddenly the big bad insurance companies have a face. Those evil, immoral insurance companies the Democrats have been demonizing now look like a gray haired, soft spoken middle-aged gentleman with a job and a family.
