Ya, their actions really make sane people want to be on their side...LOLOLOL!!!!

Go protesters
Perhaps it's a democrat tactic? You seem to be engaging in the web forum version of what these congressmen are doing at their town hall meetings, frustration with which is leading to these "disruptions."

Several people, myself among them, have pointed out that meeting atendees are TRYING to have civil discussions, are TRYING to get their questions answered, are TRYING to have their concerns heard, but are being frustrated, passed over, lied to and dismissed. According to one post, a congressman actually admitted, 45 minutes into his "town hall meeting" that he had made his mind up before getting there, and what his constituents said at that meeting really didn't matter. So much for discussing things like rational adults.
So, instead of discussing this tactic of the congressmen, and the reaction to it by frustrated US CITIZENS, you simply deflect it, calling those citizens some more disparaing names and making more incorrect accusations. Is it coincidental that your tactics mirror the democrat congress members, or is there a handbood on tactics & strategies for dealing with issues you don't actuall want to discuss?

Nice straw man!
These ''Tim McVeigh types" are citizens who have constitution-protected rights to speak. You may not like how they are speaking, much like Cheney didn't like the way anti-Iraq protesters invoked their constitutional rights, but there it is.

Accuse some group of unfair tactics, then employ those same implied tactics yourself, justifying your hate with "but mom, they did it first!"

Instead of blaming the messenger and leveling the playing field, why not listen to the concerns of the "lynch mob"? But no, you just want to sell a clunker by insulting the intellegence of the people you expect to pay for your madoff healthcare scheme.

Oh and by the way, we listened to your childish ranting for 8 plus years, you can hear ours for another 2 until the next election.

They are just making things up because they just do not know how to handle the millions of people who are against Obama and the demwits in congress.

Yes, it is a swastika with a slash through it and it says "Obama", in other words accusing Obama of being a Nazi, genius.

Sure, let 'em level all they want ... if Congress never reads what they are passing, the cards will always fall in the favor of the American public.

your pal nancy didn't mention that big red slash, einstein.
she said the protesters were 'carrying swastikas,' the clear implication being that nazi sympathizers were a key part of the demonstrations against owebamacare.
