There were no lobbyist-funded buses in the parking lot of Mardela Middle and High School on Tuesday evening, and the hundreds of Eastern Maryland residents who packed the school’s auditorium loudly refuted the notion that their anger over the Democrats’ health care reform plans is “manufactured.”
“I went to school in this school,” a man named Bob told me. “I don't see anyone in this room that isn't from Mardela Springs right now.”
“We’ve been quiet too long,” said a woman named Joan.
They came to yell at their congressman, freshman Democratic Rep. Frank Kratovil.
Boos and cries of “You don’t get it!” were hurled at Kratovil, as he suggested that the current health care system needed to be fixed.
“You're deceiving us! You're trying to shove this stuff through,” one woman yelled.
“I'm not! But I hear you,” Kratovil pleaded.
“This bill is un-American,” said another voter, who asked whether Kratovil has read it.
“I am reading it right now,” he said.
By the end of the 90 minute town hall -- which Kratovil told the crowd was his fourth interaction with constituents that day -- the congressman looked exasperated. He was hounded by jeers all the way out to his car.

Slowly the dam is breaking on Obama’s head...
I wonder which Senator and Congressman Colin Powell voted for
I want it to be a tsunami.
Good article from ABC no doubt. Good!
The lynch mobs are beginning to form.
The Democrats are prepared to dump the following constitutional rights as being inconvenient right now:
free speech, peaceful assembly, petition for redress of grievances.
Our masters do not like the sound of revolution. They should hear a lot more of it.
I find it fascinating that ABC is reporting that these were locals and not bused in paid for fake angry citizens.
18 hours after the DNC ad was released, and Michael Steele does not have one rebutting it. Shameful incompetence.
Two elderly women said they were embarrassed by their neighbors.
“They were rude! Oh, they were behaving terribly,” one said, calling it a “disgrace to our community.”
Said another of the anger, which sounded very much to her like what she hears on Fox News and conservative talk radio, “If it’s not manufactured, they’re brainwashed.”
. . .Shameful incompetence .
I totally agree ,,, The GOP has been sleeping through this whole fiasco .

No wonder we don’t trust thia President.
Wonder how long it took the reporter to find someone neighborly enough to say others in attendance were channeling Fox News’ anger — or were “brainwashed”?
I think with the way Sen Ben Nelson is hiding we may need to send a posse out after him. He has not released his schedule during the recess and the constituents want answers from him. Omaha almost lynched one of it’s mayors in the past it may end up seeing a Rat in a tree if we don’t get answers.
“Two elderly women said they were embarrassed by their neighbors.”
Ladies it is called freedom of speech and it is going to get franker and meaner. The American masses (the real shareholders/stockholders) that pay the bills have had it.
Tar and feathers are welcomed.
Two worlds apart in the way they see constitutional conservatives . They have been brain washed in their liberal schools and colleges etc.
Well, we knew he is no manager. Doesn’t the RNC have someone to run the shop as opposed to someone who runs his mouth?
