“She came right down in my face,” Sturtz said. “I was taken aback.”

182. The order is already in the works. I don't believe this was what this was about. Nope, I don't.

Someone funds the group that paid for her and a male heckler to be there. IMO, it was Koch money through a front group.

The male with her first heckled Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, had intimidated her into silence as he went on, until Secret Service agents pointed at him. Meaning they might have taken him into custody. So he shut up.

Immediately Sturtz yelled that he should be allowed to speak. I've seen this tactic used to take over things and shut others up in the name of freedom of speech, but only for the people crashing meetings.

They are oblivious to the rights of others in the Commons. They walk into places with a sense of entitlement that is aggressive. This sounds like the woman backing up the Infowars nutnik in Boston, too. They came to start a ruckus at Democratic fundraiser and get publicity and most likely aren't Democrats.

I've seen this before, it's worse when there it's a open house, where everyone is welcome to come and eat for free or donate if they want to. It is a time for people to discuss what is going right and wrong in their area, and talk to the representatives of the district and find out how bills are progressing or not to address their needs.

These are loosely run meetings, and like many liberal functions, are vulnerable to disruptors. When you have one going, the Libertarians and LaRouchies show up and try to take over the meeting and overpower people trying to answer questions. It has a chilling effect on discourse outside the parameters they are demanding the conversation take place, which is completely derailed. They are the real life version of trolls on the internet who want to shut up all liberal and progressive voices.

They disrespect everyone that has taken the time out of their lives to come and act together, and huff and puff if they don't get their way. They act like the gun owners parading with rifles at gun control meetings to scare people off, or how Tea Partiers shouted down and threatened both representatives and citizens over the ACA. In those cases, they photographed their faces and license plates and they even followed the citizens home.

This is brownshirt fascism and it's happening cross country and they, the disruptors, are doing more harm to freedom of speech by running others out of the public square designed to intimidate peaceful, concerned citizens from civic involvement.

Obama immediately signed many EO's as soon as he was sworn into office in 2009, to overturn those written by Bush. To yell for these in a meeting and not go through the process of making law is just baiting. And in this case, using media to generate another faux talking point off the Sequester, the good that Obama has done, and all Michelle and the administration are working on. It's red meat for the FRW and FLW NJs and a way to demoralize the rest of us.
