In Arizona alone: At Democratic congress woman Gabrielle Giffords healthcare meeting a rabid protester dropped a gun out of his pocket. Anne Kirkpatrick couldn't get hers started... The meeting was shut down, republi-cons bragged, calling it "recess roastings". Harry Mitchell's meeting was a farce, with "screamers" everywhere... no respect shown. Threats of violence were issued to Union members if they showed up to voice their opinions.
Last night, republi-con Jeff Flake held his meeting... it was civil and orderly, people outside joked with the media that they were "the angry mob". At Trent Franks meeting they were disappointed there wasn't enough room... again, very subdued and joking about being "the angry mob". John Shadegg's meeting was similar. All three republi-con congress members had one thing in common, respect shown.
Guns, screaming, threats of violence... no respect at the Democratic congress members meetings. Orderly, civil, subdued, and jokes about being "the angry mob" at all the Republican member meetings. That describes Arizona and the rest of the USA currently.
It's evident in Arizona, on FAUX News, right wing radio and through out America, free speech exists for the Republican party. Especially when it resorts to outlandish behavior, inciting violence and preying on people's fear.
Taking August off has once again played into the hands of the party of NO. The Democratic Party is reeling during this recess. The repukes had a strategy... absurd and idiotic as it is... it's effective, and it's taking the voice from the healthcare discussion. Democrats need to be smart about this right now... get organized... this could be a significant political turning point... time to stop fucking around. Democrats won majorities in both Houses, the Presidency... in other words, the vote... time to immediately pass effective healthcare legislation, show everyone real Freedom of Speech!!

Eh, I don't know. I recall Move On and Code Pink (maybe others) protesting quite loudly a few years ago. You seemed okay with that, no?
A lot of people are very concerned about the government meddling in their health care. They have the right to speak up and make their voices heard. It's the American way.
So what's your point?
I recall Move On and Code Pink (maybe others) protesting quite loudly a few years ago.
I remember them being escorted out of buildings quite rapidly. I certainly don't remember them threatening anyone with guns or emails threatening violence. But if you could show proof they meant violence muck, then by all means back up your claim.

How about they show just as much respect to the Democratic congressmembers as they have to the republi-KKKon members!
And muck you know the healthcare lobbyists are involved... but you like to play fucking coy about what and who is generating this FAUX outrage. These are professional organizers getting paid huge amounts of money... my point is be honest about it, don't come across as the average citizen with an individual agenda. It's been proven that many are paid operatives for healthcare organizations. They are deliberately spreading lies at the expense of the ignorant. But that runs rampant in your party... bunch of ignorant fucking knuckle draggers.
7of6, I think you just insulted knuckle draggers everywhere by equating them with Republicans.
