...being harassed by thugs hired by insurance companies, and riled up by right-wing talk show hosts sponsored by insurance companies, who have no interest in hearing facts and just want to make sure nobody actually debates the issues.

You seem very angry.

I am curious. Do you honestly believe that all the Americans who disagree with the health care proposals are simply thugs and have no valid concerns?

Is this how you feel about anyone who disagrees with anything Obama and his administration are doing, or does this "thug" characterization only apply to the opponents of Obama's healthcare?

Do you believe that the nearly half of the country who didn't happen to vote for Obama are not entitled to responsive representative government?

What about those who voted for Obama and yet disagree with the further Nationalization of healthcare? Should they, as simple "thugs", not have a voice, or are they entitled to participate in our Democracy and voice their complaints?

Obviously not. Where in what I said does it say that? We haven't really seen any principled conservative commentary at the townhalls, maybe because the whacko squads have been drowning them out too, I guess we'll never know. If there are actually conservatives out there with a principled opposition, they're allowing Fox News and the thug squads to hijack their message. They have every right to stand up and be heard, as long as they are respectful, but to this point it seems they're content letting Glen Beck and the guys with guns do the talking for them. Prove me wrong

I'm waiting for atreides74 to come and complain that no one was actually tared and feathered.

I'm waiting for you to post something funny.

Don't hold your breath. Tori thinks we don't get his humor, because it's ....you know, deep?

[tori_dobbs]

I just don't think a lot of people can laugh at something when it's not on there political slant.

Instead of going ok, I don't agree, but it has humor, they attack it like the cartoon is a fully honest representation of something.

The cartoon two above this about Dick Chaney is funny, but not accurate. It would be silly of me to argue why it's not accurate.

Have we ever had a President assassinated by some foreign government? Unless I'm mistaken, it's always been some disgruntled, crazy citizen with a gun who managed to get close enough.

[udoswald]

Not that we know of. There was some speculation around Kennedy but it was just speculation. Mostly they've just been crazy people (Reagan and Johnson) or disgruntled conservatives (Lincoln).

I thought it was 536. And really, we should go for at least 540 to get the whole line of succession and everything.

This was a good one! It made me laugh for the first time today.
