The New Haven Town Hall Putsch
Holy fuckbeans. This shit is getting out of control.
This morning, Politico reported that Democratic members of Congress are increasingly being harassed by “angry, sign-carrying mobs and disruptive behavior” at local town halls. For example, in one incident, right-wing protesters surrounded Rep. Tim Bishop (D-NY) and forced police officers to have to escort him to his car for safety.
This growing phenomenon is often marked by violence and absurdity. Recently, right-wing demonstrators hung Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-MD) in effigy outside of his office. Missing from the reporting of these stories is the fact that much of these protests are coordinated by public relations firms and lobbyists who have a stake in opposing President Obama’s reforms.
There’s also a memo detailing how to be the most disruptive fuckwit in the town hall. The question now becomes: “How long until this unchecked right-wing rage explodes into yet more conservative-on-liberal violence?”
And in other news, liberals, and liberals alone, are hate-filled poopyheads. Brent Bozell says so.
