This country is starting to resemble a bad movie.
Well, if they didn’t shot the protesters and/or put them all in the hoosegow, then we still have a little bit of freedom left.
The comments there were fun to read and I cannot believe the office thought these were threatening people...those office workers must be scared of anyone over 60.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Why do I get the feeling McCaskill’s office will suddenly get a lot more attention?
We the people have been too complacent far too long and the politicians have grown to become used to getting their own way with us and our money. Obviously to too many politicians the constitution means nothing. Change is hard for everybody but those politicians who resist the demands of the majority need to go.
The left has an irrational fear (for a rational person, at least) that conservative protesters might begin to behave like lefty lib protesters.
Taking that into account, this Senate staff’s behavior is understandable, if not defensible.
I bet the left thought they had the corner on protesting.
Someone from Missouri please assure me that this dunce will be defeated in her next election.
Is CHAOS exactly what Obama wants .. so he can declare martial law - and strip us of all our rights ..??
Didn’t Missouri go for mcstain? Doesn’t sound like the bambi agenda would be very popular there.
Way too many lazy, selfish self-styled "patriots" did way too little (or nothing) for way too long, and this is the result. They gave it all up, everything their forebears fought and died for so that they could bequeath it to the successors, and today's spendthrifts of liberty handed it all over without so much as a shot.
America -- a great idea, didn't last.
but are they getting the idea that people are fed up or are they treating it as astroturf and business as usual?
Missouri ping!!
Q. Support for the president’s expensive plan to extend coverage to millions of Americans while curbing Medicare and Medicaid spending has slipped in recent nationwide polls.
Where do you stand? Do you support the health care overhaul?
Yes. The plan will save lives and money in the long-term. 17%
Somewhat. It’s not perfect but it’s something. 6%
No. It will burden us with debt and won’t fix anything. 76%
Not sure/No opinion. 2%

So, this site and Instapundit are supporting a group of people waving loopy signs intimidating a Senator's staffers? Isn't that what ACORN does? Remember that bus tour of executives' homes? Isn't that the same thing: intimidation and implicit threats of violence?
First off, what intimidation? All I read is that the staffers complained to the cops that they *felt threatened*, I did not see any proof, indicators of such. More importantly, THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE IN EXERCISING FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS OUTSIDE THE OFFICE OF AN ELECTED MOC AND THE HOME OF A PRIVATE CITIZEN.
To compare these is just so dopey, it makes me crazy!
