I have just checked in and don’t have time to read all the comments that have already been made. I will say this. I believe the word “mob” was used by the Obama supporters when people just showed up in large numbers. They were derided for showing up in Brooks Brothers suits, etc. and accused of being representatives of the insurance or health care professions.

But they showed up because like myself they couldn’t get their representatives in Congress to respond to an email or telephone call with anything but a “prepared” message of why they supported the health care plan. Pelosi says the people aren’t smart enough to know what is good for them.

When supporters of the bill organized and attended the events to make fun of and shout down these people who showed up, things got louder and more out of hand.

People are just frustrated as hell that they are treated like second class citizens and want to do something to show their displeasure. Its a knee jerk reaction.

I hear you, but by acting out I personally think that Republican’s are falling like a ton of bricks for Nancy’s trap.
