Now in their playbook next to Tea Bagging, they are hoping to wreak havoc at Democratic events.
The best summary I've found today is a link from nutjob Kent:
The greatest horror of all, health care reform, has people who have never protested anything before out in the streets and acting so raucously at Congressional town meetings that some members of Congress have cancelled their meetings for fear of having to confront angry constituents with pitch forks and torches."Unless you consider the first two Tea Bag events they went to as having never protested before, then they might be right. But they're wrong. These people are habitual protesters. It's funny to me someone who is against us spending a trillion dollars killing people and building roads, bridges, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure in Iraq is so un-American but the person who is against us spending money here at home on our own people gets to be the all-American tough guy Patriot. Go bump your peter heads somewhere else. This world left you long ago.
*Update:
Long, long, long ago anyone who dared protest the Great and Powerful Republican administration were not only subjected to calls of un-Americanism, but also many were arrested or carted away (trust me this isn't a complete list).
- 2004- husband and wife in WV were arrested for attending a "public" George Bush event. Their crime: disrupting the event by yelling and screaming? Nope. They were simply wearing anti-Bush t-shirts (to a public event mind you).
- 2005- three people were forcibly removed from a so-called George Bush public town hall meeting. Did they disrupt? Yep. But remember these people are un-patriotic for opposing the most unpopular president in American history.
- 2004- two 55 year old school teachers were arrested in Iowa for attending a Bush campaign rally while wearing John Kerry shirts and buttons. Did they yell, shout, scream and disrupt? Nope. Their crime was not supporting the President of the United States.
- 2008- a 61 year old librarian forcefully removed and arrested at a John McCain rally in Denver for holding a sign that read McCain=Bush. Did she yell, scream, shout and disrupt? Nope. Her crime was she didn't support another four years of George W. Bush.
