That's hilarious especially since these "town halls" are having people shipped into them.
They couldn't win the election with actual people in the local areas, so now they have to organize their harassment In a concerted effort to break Obama.
Follow the money... that's all I can say...

but when did a congressman ever say they wanted to break Bush?
Then maybe I will be better dressed to attend a town hall meeting or a tea rally and present a better appearance of a disgruntled American citizen who is pissed off at his government. It seems it worked for my fellow students during the Viet Nam era of protest
The dem's think this is the case because it's how they play ball. Everything the dems do is planned and staged with the help of paid organizations such as acorn.
The people protesting aren't their useful idiot ilk, these are informed voters and see the parallels to past moments in history.
We can't have smart people now can we. The next thing you know they might want to protect themselves, start their own businesses, and refuse government assistance, those people are dangerous!

Every week, Marcia Carroll collects examples of privatization (that is, corporatization of the peoples’ assets). Looking at her website, privatizationwatch.org, will either make you laugh helplessly or make your blood boil.
The “off the wall” giveaways at bargain-basement prices of what you and other Americans own eclipses imagination. The latest escapes from responsible government are called “public-private partnerships” and are designed to enable the likes of Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs to take over highways, meter-collecting, and public buildings in deals that are loaded with complex tax advantages for the investors.
Here are two of her latest entries. Arizona lawmakers and Governor Jan Brewer are moving to fill a $3.4 billion budget shortfall by selling state-owned buildings. These include not only prisons, but also the House and Senate buildings. That’s the state legislature, fellow Americans! Metaphor becomes reality!
How do you end protest in front of state buildings? Sell the buildings to corporate America. Our once public land is now private land where government business takes place.
