Mob Rule on the Hill
No one is doing anything about it. Small group of vocal, angry, white, middle aged, those who have, screaming and yelling, carrying on like babies. When there were anti-war protests, this would have never been allowed. I wonder what is different today???

1. White (mostly male) Christian entitlement mentality
They see that their America is in the past, and they can't handle it.

6. These are like the people I saw in the 50's that I hated. I'm a white guy, older, but
I'm sure not like those SOB's and neither are any of my friends. In fact the only time I see these jerks is on the TV or Internet, fortunately never in person. They are so damn ignorant, crude, rude and despicable. And IMO a bunch of obscene bigoted racists. There, I think that sums it up!

8. I can't wait until their ilk gets older & dies off our country really needs to turn the page on them
Look at the Senate, a whole bunch of them there...I fucking hate them!!!

I am a 44 year old man, brown(ish) but white, and I really want to see the Supreme Court filled with women, I hope to live to see the day when over 50% of the Senate is filled with women!

Can you imagine a bunch of Senators like Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Debbie Wasserman Schultz...etc?

12. I wish we could have them now. I agree so much, I am so tired of watching
these old farts waddle around congress, holding up progress, being so damn self righteous and frankly making a mess of the country.

I've always thought some women did a much better of running things. Men often have their egos completely in the way of getting anything accomplished. Of course some women are that way today, but I still think it is a lot less than with men, especially some of these buttheads we see and have to endure in congress. Every time I watch congress in action it turns my stomach. Why people consistently vote some of these old goats in is beyond me...

3. They'll be arrested once they cross the line
Watch and see - one of them has already been arrested. Remember we are Democrats - we believe in the right to protest.

5. Fox News alludes to anti-war protests regularly now
but they rewrite history to make people remember how the anti-war protestors received voluminous and glossy coverage

Seriously this is a thing with them now. The take the victimization (of teabaggers and themselves) to a new level, a level that never occurred.

I heard this a few weeks ago in a conversation with BillO and the liberal bias guy (forgot his name) and saw it again last week in BillO's talking points-- he mention how divided the country is over health care, as divided as it was pre-war .... of course they never allowed any aniti-crowd near a microphone... now he (they) are saying that teabaggers aren't being given close to the coverage the positive coverage that the anti-war crowd received.

complete lunacy
