Dan Webster would be hard-pressed to make himself heard in a library. So the soft-spoken congressman didn't have a chance Tuesday when his town-hall meeting turned into a political food fight.
It seems liberal activists learned a lesson from the tea party.
They came; they shouted; they disrupted.
It worked for the tea party in attacking Democrats over ObamaCare. And it is working for liberals in attacking Republicans over RyanCare.
The Webster town hall was covered by National Public Radio and reported not only on our front page but also on the front page of The New York Times.
We love angry people yelling at politicians. Even better, we love them yelling at each other, as in, "You moron!''
At least we know the angry liberals aren't packing. Well, maybe pepper spray.

The comments on that page are hilarious!!! Proud Left Wing Extremist is a very passionate poster, completely kool-aid wasted, but passionate.
Wait until the Tea Party shows up in force with a similar numbers of Leftist union types at a Town Hall or other political venue. Sparks will fly and I fear we will have some violence this and next summer. We need to think of creative ways of preventing disruptions by union types (they are taking courses on this) and think of physical strategies that will minimize violence and improve our image over the violence prone Leftist instigators.
How about shields and the turtle formation?
