Remember the Tea protests at the Healthcare Reform "town halls"? Remember...
...how rude and abusive they were?

Contrast with the "opposition" at Republican town halls on Rachel's show.


Oh yeah, and the dramatic difference in network coverage.

1. Had this discussion with a Republican friend a few weeks ago
when she was lauding how well governor Christie of New Jersey handled a person who she said was screaming at him at some kind of town hall meeting and how he calmly asked her to allow him to answer her concerns.

I reminded my friend how she had no trouble with the teabaggers screaming bloody murder during the healthcare town hall meetings back in the summer of 2009. Of course she had no answer.

The difference in coverage is STUNNING.

3. Economic Decision-Making Is an Activity Subject to Congress’s Commerce Clause Power
These recent townhal protests against Ryan's tax cuts for the rich thA TRachel mentions give hope that many have not succumbed to the BS! But we must remember that not all the BS is coming from Ryan, the courts are still serving heapings! First Kelo, then Raich, and now Mead v. Holder which gave us this preview into what our government has planned for our future:
