I have added the jerk for a call today to his office demanding a public apology for his baseless comment and complicity to potential violence.

That's.......disturbing. Really disturbing.

called. they don;t understand what the problem, and asked me if i got my talking points from barack Obama himself.

cuckoos. these people are seriously cuckoo bananas.
someone is going to get hurt soon.

Let's get ready to rumble! May as resort to the old tradition of caning each other on the House floor. C-Span ratings would go through the roof...

Just called Akin's office and told them that a Senator should be held to a higher standard of sensitivity when it comes engaging in civil discourse. They replied that the liberal media is taking the comment "out-of-context." In case anyone is interested, here is their contact information.

Hon. Todd Akin
117 Cannon House Office Bldg.
Washington, D.C. 20515

(202) 225-2561
(202) 225-2563 (fax)

On behalf of progressive Missourians I humbly apologize for this moron. We're not all wingnut hoosiers and every time Akin or his cohorts makes some asshat remark, we truly cringe. He is pretty firmly lodged in his district--but his Democratic challenger was pretty lame.

At least we hold people accountable for inciting violence in this country.

Wait. What?

Of course, the way not to get "lynched" is to not even have a town hall. My congresswoman (R-TX Kay Granger) will do a "Tele" (phone) townhall over the August Break. And only one.

Not doing one in public. She will have a "one-on-one" with you if you schedule it and she can fit it in.

When I asked her staff why they were not doing a real town hall over August about Healthcare, they stated the Congresswoman had contacted many people already and had a "good sense" of how the people in her district felt.

So a traditional town hall meeting was not needed.
The Tele town hall and the one-on-ones she was scheduling were good enough.

Many of us were prepared to go to the town hall (if she'd had one) and "give" as good as was being given. She's smart. Why put yourself out there if you don't have too?

Where was the honest democrat opposition to rip this republican jackal apart at his town hall? There is absolutely no aggression on the democrat’s part. They are and will always be spineless pussies

Awwwww, what a bad choice of words! Just like that Obama-Joker poster. Evil, evil republicans! He should have said "teabagged" instead.

'Lynch' is a term republicans historically are comfortable using.

The right-wing Republicans are revealing their true thuggish, nazi-like character.

They are using tactics they are right out of Goebbels playbook. These include infiltrating and disrupting opponents meetings with provocateurs who threaten and intimidate those gathered and cause enough chaos as to render the meeting pointless, thereby stifling their opponents message and ability to function.

They have also ramped up their usual disinformation propoganda campaign to include everything from the birthers to health care reform killing Grandma.

All Americans should be alarmed when these tactics are embraced by one of the two principal political parties in the U.S. The Democrats seem to be content to issue milquetoast statements by Harry Reid. They had had better wake up.

Everyday we are learning more and more about the calaber of people we have in Congress. The ignorance and lack of respect for the Congress in which they serve demonstrates a shameful lack of uderstanding in the least. They represent the intellectual dregs of our society; white supremacists, undereducated, people angry at their inability to acheive. I noticed a lot of people socicial security and medicare age raging at these functions. They are so ignorant, they can't make the connection between SS and MC as being government programs. Those younger have not even considered that healthcare cost increases far outpace any other service and that insurance probably does not even begin to cover what they think it will when they need it. They have never been a victim of their insurance company. They are the ones that believe the lies and propaganda hype from Limbaugh, Hannity, et al. These two lying cretins are filthy rich and care nothing about the plight of their listeners, but only their own status in the media. The ragers at these townhalls are being used by the industry and their stupidy should be an embarrassment to them, but sadly, their intellect boarders on retardation and they have no clue they are simply pawns being used by the healtcare corporations. They are the ones who will be hurt the most if real healthcare reform fails and there is no public option. The GOP knows that there is never a shortage of truly ignorant people that can be rounded up for GOP purposes. It is their uninformed base that they use time and again. No wonder the Party is shrinking. Young people and people with higher educations are wise to the GOP.
