You should post more often. The cogent insights you provide into the political discussion is very enlightening regarding the mindset of individuals beholden to your political persuasion.
source I was just out reading some blogs and came accross the following, which reminded me of the incident which caused this thread: [rquoter] The people who hate Obama and who like to call him a communist actually share a certain similarity of disposition with communism. In communism, it was a central tenet that the Party had a monopoly on the truth and this required complete loyalty and subjugation on the part of the members. To hold back your complete endorsement to your group’s agenda did not mean that you simply disagreed with it. It meant something more menacing – a kind of moral failure, an excessive pride, a stubborn perversity of will that prevented you from seeing the truth. Obama’s critics believe they enjoy the same monopoly of virtue, and feel that what today’s desperate conditions require is intolerance – you can with good conscience cast aside your scruples. The importance of your mission and your certainty of being right relieves you of the burden of having to be truthful, restrained or respectful of the facts. The nobility of your cause means any weapon can be used against the enemy -- vile harangues, calumnies, slander, abuse, libel – you don’t have to use nimble skill in reasoning to outwit your target, you don’t have to have full command of the smallest intricacies of the issues to confute his claims -- you have only to stand and shout your opponent down, drown him out, bury him under a landslide of slights, epithets and insults. After all, you have the courage of a person with a crowd at his back. -Richard Sale [/rquoter]

It figures that the only congressman to have the balls to shut down one of these nutjob protestors would be the gay guy. I wish more congressmen would call out the townhall screamers on their stupidity.
your stupidity is made self-evident by the fact you didn't bother to check on who this person was- she's not part of the Gandma Mob, she's a LaRouche supporter. whatever LL may be, he's neither a republican, nor a conservative. although i will grant you he is a nutjob.
First, I'd like to know where you got the information that this is a "Larouche supporter." Second, I'd like you to point out where I use the words "republican" or "conservative" in my post. I called her a "townhall screamer" - and though I suspect that most townhall screamers would self-identify as either republican, conservative, or both, I'm under no illusion that all of them would identify as such. I will also accept your apology after you provide the evidence that this person is a Larouche supporter - and furthermore, I'd like you to show that all the townhall screamers are Larouche supporters, because most of them are saying exactly the same thing. p.s. I am responding to basso!
The thadeus did not allege anything in the quoted post other than that she was a nutjob. Thus, your cry of stupidity rings hollow. Also it is meaningles, because you're kind of an idiot.
I notice that you still have not supplied any evidence that the woman who got shutdown by Barney Frank is a LaRouche supporter. With the lack of evidence, is it safe to assume that this woman is a conservative republican?
