Ummm, what, ya think this Communist would have listened to these tax slaves anyway?

No - I don't think she would have. And that would have been something to put out there. Especially if they had been arrested. But if they just showed and refused to leave without seeing her when she may not have even been in the state ... well... that just makes them look like cranks or fools.

The article never said they demanded a face to face meeting. They took over a conference room for over 6 hours. You'd think a reasonable person would have just made a call to their own conference room and spoke to the group.

Of course, in all likelihood, this group knew there would be no call, no meeting, nothing...

retirees who refused to leave Sen. Dianne Feinstein's West Los Angeles office until she talked to them about health care reform has been arrested.

The group arrived at Feinstein's office around noon and refused to leave her conference room until their arrest more than six hours later.

This was a protest for whatever reason.

I personally would like to see several hundred thousand drive into D.C. and just stop their vehicles, bringing that entire city to a grinding halt.
