These people did not seem dangerous or threatening in any way, they just wanted to be heard.

Yet they’ll paint every person as a right wing whacko about to go off on a violent spree.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Oh, they will. That’s a given. I’m just saying to be prepared for whatever they throw our way. They are FULL of ‘dirty tricks’. Thing is....we Americans are waking up to them....and they don’t know what they’ve done. It’s a beautiful sight to see ‘We The People’ take a stand.

[La Lydia]

Please add me to it. The stories and videos have been hilarious and gratifying. Hold their feet to the fire.

It seemed to me like he was outraged that his constituents would have the unmitigated gall to question his agenda and call him out on his BS. Pompous creep. Like the one person said, he is nothing more than one of Pelosi’s tame sheep.

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

When he said the government is delivering some good services, he cited the VA, and that got a howl.”

Congressmen should be required to get their healthcare at local VA hospitals and not from some elite washington clinic. That would end socialized medicine.

U.S. Representative Tim Bishop has temporarily suspended holding “town hall” style meetings and Police were called by residents to escort him back to his car amid a throng of rowdy protesters who turned out for a meeting in Setauket last month.

I imagine politicians riding in convertibles during town parades is becoming less popular.

I wonder if they'll start running for their reelection campaigns in armored cars?

Last time I saw some campaign flyer for some political hack posing with his family and pets, telling me what an honest church goer he was, and oh...Please send money... I about spit flames.

These people making a living off tax dollars, are completely detached from reality...

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

What the Hell did Bishop expect? An 1800s Victorian scene where he and his constituents politely discuss matters over tea and crumpets? Typical pompous elitist jerk.

Timmah ran Southampton College, a private institution, into the ground till they had to be taken over by the State University at NY Stony Brook.

after finishing running a long time, respected, educational institution into the ground, he has turned his attention to Congress, where the idiots from my congressional district see fit to trust this @$$hole with things like government regulated health care and cash for clunkers....

He beat out semi conservative congressman and fireworks magnate Felix Grucci, a few terms back when Grucci went negative and all the local MSM news organizations berated their readership with a constant barrage of how nasty and negative the fireworks magnate was....(Grucci told the truth about how Timmah ran Southampton college into the ground)..

people I worked with who were of a conservative bent...voted against him because he was so negative to poor old Timmah.... My neighbors here deserve what they get...they are so friggin stupid...
