Dem Congressman Kagen: Insurance Industry Behind Disruption Of My Town Hall
Rep. Steve Kagen (D-WI) is firing back at the disruption of a recent town hall that he held, telling Wisconsin Public Radio that the insurance industry is behind a misinformation campaign that included the right-wingers who stormed his event.
"I couldn't have organized it better," said Kagen. "I believe some people are being frightened (with misinformation) ... The first casualty of war is truth."
Kagen said he's standing by the public option: "You can count on it. I can't be bought."

You take it for granted people shouting in his face aren't persuasive? Intimidation sometimes works. That's why they do it. Good for Kagan for refusing to back down. The message we need to send to politicians being subjected to this is that we'll have their backs if they don't back down.
