And none of those being touted as examples of extreme public discontent with the Ryan budget have gotten so heated that violence could have broken out.
By contrast, in 2009, event organizers at a town hall in Florida threatened to cut the event short when attendees began violently pushing and shoving each other between stints of heckling.
They're not giving up on the "conservatives are the violent ones" theme despite the death threats against WI Republicans and the largely unreported bus rocking episodes there.
Don't forget the "no labels movement."
They've also tried "re-framing" (George Lackoff, rhymes with) and "Giving Obama a Chance To Get His Message Out."
He has trouble with that last one because he's so much smarter than ordinary people that there's almost no way for him to connect with us.
The people who are objecting to Paul Ryan’s budget bill are not his constituents. They are bussed in to create havoc. I am going to a townhall meeting in Lake Geneva, WI this coming week, and I will know every face in the crowd (pop. 7,000) It is a very conservative district. I’ll bet the hecklers will all have out-of-state addresses and license plates.
