Quote from OPTIONAL777:
Thuggery is legal?
If your have a strong rational argument, why is it necessary to scream and yell?
Just present your ideas...no need to yell and scream and act like a monkey if they are better ideas, right?
No need for emotionalism and hysteria, whining and crying like a baby if the idea is sound and reasonable, right?

Its called freedom of speech and its legal in the US, so get over it.
What is happening here is the dems are clearly on the wrong side of this issue. Countless polls show that. Now they have to find out a way to shift attention away from their failures. The fact of the matter is that this healthcare bill that is being put forward is so far in left field that a good portion of democrats have rejected it. The democrats have complete control, they need zero republican support, but Obama has failed to push this down the throats of the American people. Now you have 'The Trio of Stupid'(Obama, Pelosi, Reid) trying to blame people who go to townhall meetings and question their representatives and senators about it. It is an absolute joke.
Quote from intelligenceOPTIONAL:
Say the left actually has been doing far worse.
What does that have to do with the right wing thuggery?
Why would what the left does wrong make what the right does right?
Quote from Lucrum:
Allow me to translate from liberalese into English.
It's perfectly acceptable and even commendable for minorities and liberals to engage in "thuggery"?
BUT if you're conservative, moderate or guilty of being born a Caucasian then you are to be scoffed at, scolded and condemned.
The fact the behavior is exactly the same, is beside the point.
Quote from MKTrader:
I didn't say that. And quite repeating yourself...it just makes you look stupid.
I said it's pure hypocrisy, considering all the real *thuggery* from the Left. (Nice spelling, BTW.) You take one isolated incident and make up a ridiculous, sensationalized thread.
Here we have a President who told his followers to "get angry and get in the face of" Republicans and Independents who question them. Real classy. This is a man who spent years listening to blatantly racist, hyper-conspiratorial drivel from "Rev." Wright. A man whose connections with real Chicago thugs (Ayers, Acorn and many others if you dig deep) can't be questioned by any semi-intelligent and ubiased observer.
So to be just a little fair and balanced, why not link to this as well:

Or these friends of Obama's (he used to represent them), who got a huge payout from the stimulus scam. That alone is worse than any of the alleged stuff Bush or Cheney did:
