In your perception, perhaps, but in the last few posts on this thread you've made it obvious how warped that is.Now even conservative newspapers are running editorials about how disgusted they are with the town hall thugs. No wonder all you can do is make a pathetic effort to point fingers at me.
So far the only "thugs" showing up at events seem to be Obama supporting union thugs and the MSM. At least those are the ones that were arrest worthy.
Here's a snippet from an editorial out of Napa, where their opinion writers are easily as far to the right as those on the Wall Street Journal:
SourceMonday nights health care forum in Napa grew unruly and wild, with some critics of the current health care proposals seeking to derail the event, harming their cause and nearly destroying a meaningful forum on a critical topic for Napa and the nation.
The display was unwelcome and unsuccessful if it was meant to move health care reform supporters toward considering the concerns of the critics. Several callers to the Register on Tuesday reported they were repulsed by the aggressive tactics of some members of the crowd.
To the degree the catcalls, chants and shouts were organized and it appears from events around the country that they were we strongly suggest that the organizers find more constructive ways to get their message out.
...
Mondays event was out of character for Napa County political clashes, even hotly contested ones. In our view, most politically active people here have better sense than to debase the debate that way.
Unbridled anger is not a substitute for intelligent discussion. Catcalls are not replacements for hard questions and criticism.
For health care reform critics or anyone in political life to get their message across effectively, our message is that they should choose a more substantive and respectful approach.
