I don't want to see hysteria and disarray but it appears that is what they are fostering by ignoring the peoples grievances by tongue dancing around any discourse that doesn't align with their agenda.
I agree that it's way past high time for elected officials to realize they cant just mouth platitudes and insult the people any longer. I think it would be great if they HAD to come on local television twice a year and face a local town hall. I look forward to the first sen or rep who says okay, let's be here for a couple of hours - take turns and speak calmly and tell me what is on your minds, and I'll answer you honestly.
"I was at the event. My name is David Brown. I am an atty in St. Louis.
My friend, Kenneth Gladney, who is black, was passing out Don't Tread on Me Flags and Tea Party buttons at the end of the event to Tea Party supporters and conservatives.
He was then called a racial slur by two SEIU members. He was then attacked by two black males (SEIU reps) and white male, another SEIU rep., and a white woman. The punched him in the face and he fell to the ground.
He was then kicked and punched by all four. One fled on foot, and three were arrested. Kenneth was taken to St. John's Mercy Hospital to the emergency room.
He has suffered numerous injuries." .

What does this have to do with Obama?
[MOD CUT/language]
There are so many people out doing stuff like this eveywhere in our country. I don't blame the President for Idiots fighting at a Rally.
Lol you do realize people are paid to go to these town hall meetings and disrupt them right? Town hall meeting have become a joke because of the way the republicans have made them unauthentic.
Sad isn't it? The concerned American public has turned these authentic democrat talking point town hall meetings into a place where average citizens are confronting authority with their thoughts and ideas.
Democratic senators go out to town hall meetings to peddle their lies and misinform the public, and the American people, who actually read the senate health care plan, challenge these senators in public debate. It's just sad. how dare they, don't they know how historic this last election was???
The "message from the president" encourages people to turn out everywhere and counter the lies that are being spread -- which lies are what are making the town hall teabaggers hysterical in the first place.
You all are pretending Obama is somehow encouraging violence - provide proof please.
"typical Obama dumbass" -- SEIU does not equal Obama, and all SEIU people are not dumbasses. Is the "He's a A-rab" woman from the McCain rally a typical Republican?
