Think about how crazy the teabaggers acted at the health care debates

[prolesunited]

is it any surprise it is coming to this? Imagine if they don't win some of the races they thought they would.

Where are the party leaders denouncing the violence? Recall their argument that all Muslims are guilty of violent tactics because they don't take to the airwaves denouncing it. Again, the hypocrisy astounds.

1. The Repukes have been urging it on from the beginning. nt

2. You ain't seen nothin' yet!

And I don't just say words like "ain't" and "nothin'" for nothin'!

Just wait till November 3rd, that's when they'll really start acting out! :evilfrown:

4. Yeah, I recall some candidates talking about

2nd amendment remedies. Maybe Palin will put her reload bat signal back up again.

3. Why weren't they this angry at the Wall Street bailout town halls?

:shrug:

[prolesunited]

5. Because their corporate sponsors

weren't directing them to do that.

[leftstreet]

6. Actually, there weren't any Wall Street bailout town halls

Once again, the ownership class knows how to get us to turn on each other, not them

8. And the point goes to you.

7. Both sides do it!

Oh, wait, no they don't.

Don't you remember the centrist meme? Didn't you get the memo?

9. That's a very good point...

...also, when people try to say the Moveon activist was being provocative, let's remember what it means to *really* be provocative, as those Teabaggers were at the town halls last year. I don't remember any of them getting thrown to the ground and their neck stomped on.

10. I'm sorry, but what health care debates?

I seem to recall Congress doing it's dirty work in relative secrecy, so there were no debates there, it was "take it or leave it" when the backroom deals were done.

[BootinUp]

11. I think the OP refers to the townhall meetings

last year.

[prolesunited]

12. Sorry, I wasn't more clear

You are right. I meant town halls. I just thought debate because of all of the yelling. Let's see if I can fix that.

On edit: Too late.

13. I thought that's what you meant

I guess I find it strange that someone would confuse an open debate with a "here's what we're going to shove down your throat, and you're gonna like it" session that the town hall meetings were.

I was as dissatisfied with the way HCR was cobbled together as the tea partiers were, for opposite reasons, of course.
