Mob Mentality at Town Hall Meetings

I’ll probably review some of the town hall videos just to confirm but, IIRC the “eruptions” tend to immediately follow some outrageous statement (i.e., bald-faced lie). I think these attendees are being slapped in the face with what amounts to their representative saying, “I think you’re stupid—else I wouldn’t try to get away with this lying.”

As far as I can tell, none of these Congressional asshats that are becoming famous on YouTube have hosted a meeting that genuinely listened to their constituents. (Those town hall events wouldn’t have the “train wreck” attraction, of course.)

We’re seeing videos of a cram-down that’s being resisted by the population.
