Obamabots Heed The Call To Arms

We knew the debate over this healthcare legislation was going to get heated, and this morning when I woke up I was greeted with a couple of stories involving some heated exchanges at a couple of these townhall meetings, so I immediately went to the web to get the rest of the story that the soundbites on tv couldn't. Of course it didn't take long to find stories of union thugs getting preferential treatment at one townhall meeting and at least one incident of a woman who lost her cool and slapped a man in her vigorous defense of socialized medicine.

One of the representatives from my area, Hank Johnson (D-GA/4) is holding a townhall meeting on Monday August 10th from 7 PM to 9 PM. Hank now holds the seat formerly held by Cynthia McKinney so you already have a good idea of the makeup of the district.

A blog that writes about politics in Georgia, Peach Pundit, put up a post announcing this meeting, no comment about it, just an announcement. BTW Peach Pundit is run by the same guy who runs the Redstate blog, Eric Erickson.

Well some of the comments are very revealing to say the least.

Yes, please show your lily white behinds down in Clarkston after dark and yell loud obscenities at Hank in a crowd filled with his friendly supporters.

Can we pre-call to schedule the ambulances you’ll need?

Since the healthcare protesters I’ve seen are usually older conservative white folks, I’ll be amazed if that demographic is anywhere near Memorial Drive around sunset.

If you think these comments are made lightly here is a news report from March 2008, but things haven't changed, if anything they have gotten worse in this liberal stronghold.



It looks like there might be another "teachable" moment here.
