I don't see any information about the event on libertarian party websites in Texas. Any hints?

If you believe for a second that these were NOT organized efforts on the part lobbying groups who have a financial interest in NOT seeing healthcare reform you are either highly naive, or simply advocating for your political beliefs rather than telling the truth.

I wish they did. They might do a better job getting their message across.

By the way, these protesters are really classy:


YouTube - Dump Dodd: Suicide Advocates and Screeching about Socialism

Screaming that a 65 year old senator should deal with his cancer by committing suicide. I wish they could figure out they're being duped in to protesting against their own interests.

Don't you think people can decide for themselves what their own interests are? How are you so enlightened to be able to tell from a minute long clip what is best for these people?

Improved health care is in everyone's self-interest. So is civil discourse. Preventing civil discourse with riot-like tactics and spreading flat out untruths to scare uninformed members of the middle class in to opposing healthcare reform is against everyones interest. ("The government is going to send people to your class to ask you how you want to die.... The government is going to kill the elderly...") You don't have be enlightened or psychic to figure that out.
