Anger over RyanCare now overshadowing ObamaCare
Orlando Sentinel ^ | April 27, 2011 | Mike Thomas

Dan Webster would be hard-pressed to make himself heard in a library. So the soft-spoken congressman didn't have a chance Tuesday when his town-hall meeting turned into a political food fight.

It seems liberal activists learned a lesson from the tea party.

They came; they shouted; they disrupted.

It worked for the tea party in attacking Democrats over ObamaCare. And it is working for liberals in attacking Republicans over RyanCare.

The Webster town hall was covered by National Public Radio and reported not only on our front page but also on the front page of The New York Times.

We love angry people yelling at politicians. Even better, we love them yelling at each other, as in, "You moron!''

At least we know the angry liberals aren't packing. Well, maybe pepper spray.

Webster was targeted not only because he is a Republican in a swing district, but also because he is the Republican who brought down Alan Grayson, the heart and soul of the left wing, the Democrat who fights like a Republican, the man who said Dick Cheney has "blood that drips from his teeth.''

Wait until the Tea Party shows up in force with a similar numbers of Leftist union types at a Town Hall or other political venue. Sparks will fly and I fear we will have some violence this and next summer. We need to think of creative ways of preventing disruptions by union types (they are taking courses on this) and think of physical strategies that will minimize violence and improve our image over the violence prone Leftist instigators.
How about shields and the turtle formation?

This point must be driven home and was pointed out in Betsy McCaughey’s recent WSJ article.

Exactly. I'm not sure that some segments of America are getting the point yet. We have NO MONEY!

All of these entitlement programs MUST get significantly reformed.

But, to the libs, we all REALLY oppose Obama because he's black.
