"This state is so (angry) at Republicans right now because they're trying to shut down debate," yelled one protester at the meeting in Wauwatosa, which was being held in a town library. Other protesters responded with loud cheers.

While veteran U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R), who was at the meeting with GOP state Sen. Leah Vukmir, insisted that the meeting was open to everyone, a protester said, "You're trying to shut down any response from these people who live in a free society." When Vukmir insisted that no one was trying to take away collective bargaining rights, the crowd shouted, "That's not true!" and booed and hissed at her.

Sensenbrenner eventually said he was adjourning the meeting because attendees weren't being respectful, which resulted in the unhappy crowd chanting, "Shame!"

=============
Oh poor mean Sensenbrenner, he doesn't like it when the shoe is on the other foot...waa waa waa!

2. And the protesters weren't even paid to do it. How does that make you feel, teabaggers?

5. I remember that Republicans used to like raucous town hall meetings
But now that they're in the majority and they're the ones expected to deliver, suddenly it's time to be all respectful and stuff. Respect has to be earned, Mr. Sensenbrenner; it isn't just handed out, and you and your caucus haven't been doing anything worthy of respect.

6. Republican Corporate operatives disrupted Democratic
Town Hall meetings, in the past. Republicans here telling people to basically shut the hell up, got back a piece of their own medicine. Thought it was great that the people of Wisconsin are not going to take their lies and crap any more. This needs to spread across the country... For all the money in their pockets, Republicans can not buy off an angry crowd.

7. Of course it was ok when teabaggers were throwing hissyfits in 2009 at healthcare town hall meetings
Then it was perfectly ok for them to be disrespectful.
