WASHINGTON – Call it the tea party that never ends.
A rebellion is brewing in home congressional districts of incumbent Democrats evidenced by the reaction at several town hall meetings.
Members are being forced to suspend meetings with their constituents, screaming protesters are being dragged out of events by police and officials are being greeted by protest signs and chants.
Rep. Tim Bishop, D-N.Y., has called off further events.
"I had felt they would be pointless," he said. "There is no point in meeting with my constituents and [to] listen to them and have them listen to you if what is basically an unruly mob prevents you from having an intelligent conversation."
In Bishop's case, his decision came on the heels of a June 22 event he held in Setauket, N.Y., in which protesters dominated the meeting by shouting criticisms at the congressman for his positions on energy policy, health care and the bailout of the auto industry. You can watch that confrontation here.
Police had to be called to escort the 59-year-old Democrat to his car safely.
