Baird ‘verbally flogged’ over pro-escalation stance.

For three hours during a townhall meeting last night, Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA) “was verbally flogged by hundreds of his constituents for no longer supporting the quick withdrawal of troops from Iraq.” “There is only one way to end an illegal and immoral war, and that’s to end it,” said Zamme Joi. “You have screwed up, my friend. You have screwed up and you have to change course,” another constituent said. “We don’t care what your convictions are,” said Jan Lustig of Vancouver, “you are here to represent us.” See the video below:

VoteVets’ Jon Soltz also attended. “Speaking calmly and to raucous applause,” Soltz said Baird “was fooled ‘by a dog and pony show’ and is unfortunately ‘providing cover for President Bush.‘” (HT: FDL) 12:29 pm
