    In other news, a conservative man selling 'Don't tread on me' buttons and bumper-stickers was beaten to the ground by a group of six Obama supporters.

    If we get a Republican fuckwad in 2012, I am going to Canada !
    I don't care if I have to smuggle myself in a box, I'm not going to put up with another 4-12 years of repression.
    Maybe the Netherlands would be good. :bong:

    A quick skim of the article shows that's not what really happened.

    It's hardly shocking. The government is doing something that some people disapprove of -- and the government oligarchy, rather than listening, is cancelling public meetings. No wonder people are getting pissed off. Add in the Unions and Acorn and I don't see how you avoid the scuffles. This might be the beginnings of an Iranian style protest.

    You've got to at least give the Dems credit for holding town halls. Once it became clear how unpopular TrumpCare was the Rs just stopped having town halls all together.

    They stopped doing town halls because their lives are being threatened.

    Leftist nut jobs were going to town halls and shouting down Republicans since the election. They can't get a word in inch wise, what do you expect them to do? Yet Jason Chafetz stayed the whole entire time.

    Why the fuck should I dignify your attempt at deflection?
    The GOP has accused the ACA of being death panels; Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell and the representatives and senators that voted for their package are literally part of a death panel -- no wonder they've been cancelling town halls.

    And without getting into whether the federal government should or shouldn't be dealing with healthcare or insurance (I am not going to get into that discussion here), you are ok with that. You are ok with politicians of your political leanings colluding and attempting to throw Americans under the bus, of literally being what they accuse their opponents' programs of being. No wonder we're seeing appalling backlash like shooting up softball practices.
    Since information running contrary to your beliefs will be ignored because the notion of challenging worldviews and changing viewpoints for your betterment is an apparent anathema, I say fuck you; Baba is of more calibre than you.

    Same thing happened to the Ds during the passage of ObamaCare (see this thread) and yet they never hid from their constituents en mass like the Rs did.

    Libtard activists have been targeting Republican town halls for a long time. The Repub politician isn't under any obligation to subject himself to hysterical screaming & yelling from professional agitators.

    I'd like to hear more about how the Dems were over-reaching when they called out the incivility of the Tea Partyers.
