As Castor said:
"Anyone's welcome to attend a community event, and I welcome a healthy debate," she said.
Prior to the event Thursday, she had told reporters she considered some of the protests erupting at town hall forums on the topic to be genuine and some to be the result of political organizing inspired by health insurance and pharmaceutical industries.
Castor said broadcast commentators Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck had both mentioned the Tampa event on their shows, urging listeners or viewers to attend.
Castor also said she's sure the reform bill will pass: "We're going to fight through the naysayers [and pass the bill], and it will not add to the deficit."
These fucking people don't give a shit about what the people want.
Castor heartened by reaction to town hall tumult
They care about what most of the people want, and what all of the people need. Those people showing up to disrupt information from being delivered and refusing to let anyone hear or speak beyond their incessant screaming are the ones who do not care what people want. They are disrupting the political process, they are not adding to it anything of worth.
Then there's this:
11Alive.com | Atlanta, GA | Video
where one can see a congressman imply that a doctor politely asking a question, is not a constituent and 'blindsided' him. Not true, as the video newsreport makes clear.
Somehow it's being cast in stone that asking a question is mob behavior which is not the case...
One (arguable) overreaction does not discount the disruption that has taken place. And god knows they have no reason to be defensive.
