TeaKlanner who works for govt giving out tax dollars arrested for obstructing Congress.
Mass. resident arrested for heckling
Doesn’t regret causing scene in House chamber

WASHINGTON — William Gunn is angry about big government, the bailouts, and especially the big health care package that President Obama signed this week — so much so that the Western Massachusetts resident came all the way to Washington, D.C., and got himself arrested Sunday night after heckling lawmakers in the House gallery.

Gunn, by the way, works for the town of Palmer and administers federal grants for a living.

“It’s sort of ironic,’’ said the 48-year-old Gunn, who is scheduled to come back for a court appearance in the nation’s capital next month.

<snip>

“I was just lazy, dumb, and happy, sitting at home and letting things take care of themselves,’’ Gunn said. But after seeing Representative Steven King, Republican of Iowa, encourage Americans to try to defeat the health care package, Gunn said he decided to come to Washington and make a last-ditch stand against it.

4. That's a fair point, except the Teabaggers of today are Republicans and carry Racist Signs
Democrats today do not carry racist signs.

5. Have you read their signs?
Bigots exist all over the country. The Klan had a bad reputation in the north because it was seen as a phenomenon arising from southern ignorance. The teabaggers don't have that burden and can wave their bigotry out in full view.

There's your history lesson.

6. Does Gunn have health care bennies?
Sounds like he should have them taken away. Wouldn't want this poor soul to corrupt himself anymore with a Socialist handout.

7. Someone needs to inform Mr. Gunn that "irony" is not a synonym for "hypocrisy"
