Clicking the link actually leads us to a rather tame article from Sam Stein, "Unions to Take On Conservative Groups Health Care Town Halls." You've got to love this part:
In a memo sent out on Thursday, AFL-CIO President John Sweeney outlined the blueprint for how the union conglomerate would step up recess activities on health care reform and other topics pertinent to the labor community. The document makes clear that Obama allies view the town hall forums as ground zero of the health care debate. It also uses the specter of the infamous 2000 recount "Brooks Brothers" protest to rally its members to the administration's side.We can't let that happen again?
"The principal battleground in the campaign will be town hall meetings and other gatherings with members of Congress in their home districts," reads the memo. "We want your help to organize major union participation to counter the right-wing "Tea-Party Patriots" who will try to disrupt those meetings, as they've been trying to do to meetings for the last month. ...
(Remember the hooligans - many of them Republican Congressional staff - who harassed Florida vote counters in 2000? We can't let that happen again!)."
What happened in Florida is obviously beside the point (although Dems didn't miss the chance to launch a national protest "explosion" at the time). No one is allegedly "harassing" vote counters today. Regular folks are coming out in large numbers to show their opposition to the Democratic takeover of private healthcare markets. Voters are steaming mad - yeah, voters, not a bunch of Nazis with swastikas.
Now the Democrats are totally freaking out! As CNN reports, President Obama's poll numbers of dropped 7 points over last 100 days. And today's Quinnipiac University National Poll finds Obama with just a 50 percent public approval rating, and 52 "disapprove of the way he is handling health care."

Why can't all the politicians who stole our money from the social security and medicare funds (to pay for their earmarks et al) be required to pay it all back to the people from whom they stole it--the American citizen. If they can't, then they should be placed in jail.
The Congress fraudulently used this money for other purposes, their purposes, not the peoples'.
How can we trust these greedy bastard with our money, our national security, and our children's future?
Why are we paying their health insurance, their salaries, their travel etc?
It time for "one term" per crook.
Excellent! The reps can tell us if the brownshirts (unions) have been exempt from the healthcare plan (as have the reps) for this very reason.
