Wait a minute....we can’t call Al Qaeda terrorists but a Congressman can call us terrorists? What’s up with that?

Oh well, if that wasn't the most racist comment I have ever seen. You are so unpatriotic for even thinking of such a thing. You must be a paid for thug by those evil insurance companies. Maybe even one of those 'birthers'...gasp.

Someone should dress up as Grim Reaper with a good sign for the AARP folks
in attendance.
Then Pelousy ,PMSNBC and CNN could claim it was a death threat to P-BO.

The congressman should be glad they haven’t brought the ropes and tar yet.

I would call that a threat of government sanctions on these innocent citizens venting their frustration. That is political totalitarianism.

He didn’t get the memo saying that “terrorism” is an obsolete label?

Well golly... we would not need to show up at Town Hall meetings if Congressmen/women were doing what we tell em to. Namely to STOP doing what they are trying to do. IE Socialism!

Baron Hill is too cowardly to have a townhall. So what is he complaining about?

“Terrorist” and even the concept of “enemy” only applies to those who threaten their POWER.

Real terrorists don’t constitute as big of a threat to the elitists’ power as do the patriots of their own country.

I think that covers it except for complaining about the way people were dressed.I’m sure they will come up with a label for that one.Maybe we should add slobs to the list.

ACORN in1995.

That March, House Speaker Newt Gingrich was scheduled to address a meeting of county commissioners at the Washington Hilton. But, first, some 500 protesters from ACORN poured into the ballroom from both the kitchen and the main entrance.

Hotel staffers who tried to block them were quickly overwhelmed by demonstrators chanting, “Nuke Newt!” and “We want Newt!” Jamming the aisles, carrying bullhorns and taunting the assembled county commissioners, demonstrators swiftly took over the head table and commandeered the microphone, sending two members of Congress scurrying.

The demonstrators’ target, Gingrich, hadn’t yet arrived - and his speech was cancelled. When the cancellation was announced, ACORN’s foot soldiers cheered...

What Nanny Pelousy and the Democrat House is practicing is political blitzkrieg.

Since they want to want to connect the issue to the Political Lexicon - what do we all say that we “ABORT” all of these Representatives who would deny the will of the people?

I am CERTAIN that the very bad feelings being visited upon the public by the current group supposedly elected to do just that, will NOT at all be forgotten 12 months from today.

Excellent point

Next, the word “war” will return to public political dialogue- as in war against astroturf nazi racist birthers
