These people are being organized and paid just like Hitler organized and paid the SA to terrorize anyone who opposed him.
Organized (labor) for sure. But, I doubt these a-holes watching their cash cow headed to slaughter required any additional incentive to show up.
Hinson (R-Cedar Rapids) and Ken Rizer (R-Marion) held a joint town hall meeting Friday after work. I'd guess there were 300 people, most of of them the aforementioned a-hole variety. I left during what was said would be the last question (it had already gone 30 minutes past the advertised duration). Although they were definitely agitated, generally unwilling to listen to reason, rude and often loud, I witnessed no personal attacks. But, Col. Rizer gave me the impression that one of the chief agitators was the b*st*rd who called Ashley the c-word at the previous event.
