Republican nazis shout down disabled woman in wheelchair (video)
"More than 1,500 people showed up to talk health care, but things quickly turned ugly. Much like the unruly town hall meetings that have been going on across the country, the angry crowd held up bizarre and nonsensical posters of protest while hurling insults at Rep. Pallone, and each other.

A new low for these meetings may have been set when the crowd shouted down a wheelchair-bound woman with "two incurable auto-immune diseases" who had the gall to ask a question.

NJ.com has video (footage of the incident with the wheelchair-bound woman begins at 2:08)"

1. our future looks bleak. Violence will only escalate.
Pity that Big Insurance forgot that once you create a monster, it comes back to attack its maker.

3. Expect, if the tables are turned..
Liberals would be tased, dragged out and imprisoned for speaking out of turn.

One only has to look at the Bush years to see I'm not being hysterical. Remember the couple arrested for wearing Anti-Bush t-shirts? Remember the "free speech" zones?

4. even in Chicago, when we protested the IraqNam invasion,
the streets were filled with armored robocops. It was a sight that I put out of mind. To retain sanity. BUT it spoke volumes of how our privacy, our rights, our freedom was done in by republicans. in the name of freedumb.

Where do these monsters come from?
At what point did our country start spawning this type of inhumane bastards?
