The teabaggers weren't amused...
58-year-old Edward Kimmel of Takoma Park, Md. won't be needing to borrow Hillary's... Would that we had politicians with so much sand in their britches.
Barry Goldwater never knew where his conservative movement was heading...

Why should he have been scared? So far, the only violence done at the tea parties and the town hall meetings has been by Democrats and Obama supporters...
He didn't look scared to me. He looked proud. The cops looked worried, but he didn't.
I've read thru every news report I can find on the topic of violence at rallies and town hall meetings, and the only references I've found use words like "reportedly", and "allegedly." The only indication that violence was perpetrated by Obama supporters comes from traditionally right wing sources. The lefty sources don’t deny that rough stuff happened, but tend to blame the teabaggers for inciting the fights.
Viewing the videos I see a shouting, chanting, shoving and otherwise disruptive crowd, with one video showing the crowd being pushed back and door closed. I could see a man with a torn shirt in one video but could not see how it got torn. The same video shows a crowd pounding on the windows and shouting. In other words, people behaving badly and others badly reacting to the behavior. So which side is perpetrating violence? Who do we blame? Those intent on disruption (incitement), or those who got fed up and pushed them back? Is it perhaps actually both sides acting badly?
Interesting how the "lame stream" media isn’t trusted by either side... until something supporting a particular bias is reported.
