Steve Benen of the Washington Monthly warns that the GOP’s strategy to egg on the wingnuts could have unintended consequences:
Quote:
It’s probably the one angle the corporate interests and their lobbyists haven’t considered: the unintended consequences of rallying confused right-wing activists to shout down policymakers who’ll improve their health care coverage. Once you wind up the fanatics and point them in the direction of a town-hall meeting, you never really know what they’re going to say, do, wear, or hold. In at least one case at the Doggett event, there really was a sign with Nazi “SS” lettering.
Look it is a teaching moment if you can't accept it, it isn't my problem.
YOu didn't attend school in the US now did you? First thing they teach you in literature and English is the difference between Fiction and None-Fiction, I believe you guys missed that lesson.
You want me to accept your LIE. Don't think so ...

I did attend school in the US for many many years as a matter of fact. I am trying to help you with this teaching moment yet you refuse. As I said I can't help you until you are ready.

Let me get this straight, Your trying to help me to accep YOUR LIE? You want me to be ready to accept YOUR LIE...YOU are hilarious.....
THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF MOB HARASSMENT.... Following up on the earlier item about right-wing fanatics trying to shut down discussions over health care with harassment and disruptions, the Politico's Jonathan Martin raises a compelling point.
Yes, there is now much energy on the right. But much like those angry crowds that populated McCain and Palin rallies last fall (recall "he's an Arab"), there is danger in such raw passion.
See, as one Dem points out, the much-watched Lloyd Doggett video today. Go to about a the 2:00 minute mark and you'll find a guy carrying a kid on his shoulders and hoisting a sign with the Nazi "SS" lettering.
Recall also the hanging in effigy of another Dem congressman last week at an anti-health care rally.
These are the sort of excessive displays that breed a backlash.
