Last week a shocking video of a townhall of sorts held by Chicago, Illinois area Congressman Melissa Bean (D, 8th District) was released that seemed to show that she'd hired a couple of thugs to intimidate attendees from asking her questions that she didn't want to answer.
The video kicked up a bit of controversy on both sides of the aisle. Conservatives pointed out that Rep. Bean was not only avoiding questions from her constituents, but sending her thugs to discourage those questions. Liberals said that the video was heavily edited and that the thugs were really merely "security guards" hired by the library, not Bean's thugs.
But the liberal's protest that these guys were "just" security guards hired by the library that was hosting the meeting does not explain why these guys walked over to the audience members to tower over them as they attempted to ask the Congressman a question. If these guys were not hired by Bean and if they were just there to assure that the townhall went without violence, they would more likely not have been interested in what participants were saying but only should they have gotten out of hand. None of the videos, not the admittedly edited one, nor the uncut one, shows anyone getting out of hand. No one attending this meeting was in need of the intervention of library "security" agents...

Bean is a typical, bleached blond fatso leftist!
Get rid of this non-congressman!
Anyone who watched the video and then says this is lying. There is no way one could watch that video and honestly think these were security guards hired by the library.

Where’s Bookman?
Hmmm. Try the one on bottom of the post. It works. I must have typed something incorrectly.
We Librarians are a tough bunch. I had to bodyslam a guy last year. He only weighed 120 pounds, but, he started it.
Thanks Mobile Vulgus, yes the link at the bottom did work.
