With those posters showing the president with a Hitler mustache and passing out leaflets. Several of the people I was with (seminar people) would yell at them. <br /><br />I saw them someplace else, too, but I can't think where. Maybe down on the mall someplace.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621216725935523487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905181885778117365.post-71321716665354061602009-08-21T04:41:43.816-07:002009-08-21T04:41:43.816-07:00@Fiona: I didn't see anyone like that at all,...@Fiona: I didn't see anyone like that at all, and I was up on the Hill last month being a "tour guide." Don't know how I could have missed that if they were there when I was up there. I'll look for them the next time I go up.hscfreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15248588351369527519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905181885778117365.post-32464099533123338142009-08-21T04:39:26.954-07:002009-08-21T04:39:26.954-07:00I read an article about the role of the LaRouche p...I read an article about the role of the LaRouche people in all this. The author said that he thought the young woman in Dartmouth was a LaRouche acolyte, and that seems very plausible to me.<br /><br />Free, haven't you seen those folks on the sidewalks on Capital Hill with posters of the president with Hitler's mustache? They were there throughout July.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621216725935523487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905181885778117365.post-78195569439754166602009-08-20T18:53:31.790-07:002009-08-20T18:53:31.790-07:00Cong.

David Scott has an interesting confrontation at his town hall meeting a few weeks ago, and he was rewarded with a swastika spray painted onto one of his field offices. <br /><br />I've said time and again that a substantive debate should be had. I am convinced that the GOP on the Hill is not interested in having that debate; they want an Obama defeat more. That, to me, is the real shame here. Some people actually believe that the Hill GOP members really are interested in health care reform. They are not.hscfreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15248588351369527519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905181885778117365.post-7961660309607746372009-08-20T18:17:02.530-07:002009-08-20T18:17:02.530-07:00As Frank pointed out, it's a tribute to our Fi...As Frank pointed out, it's a tribute to our First Amendment that people like Ms. Obama-is-a-Nazi can spew their moronic verbal vomit in public.<br /><br />It's a tribute to Barney Frank that he responded to that crap with all the seriousness it deserved. <br /><br />Some people oppose health care reform with thoughtful argument. It's important to have the discussion with them. But some people are liars, idiots and bigots. They need to be labeled as such and dismissed with the ridicule and contempt they deserve.<br /><br />Yay for Barney!Scottnoreply@blogger.com
