More proof that the mob scenes taking place at (almost exclusively) Democratic sponsored Town Hall events really have little, if anything, to do with average citizens exercising their constitutional rights to civil public debate and having an in-person opportunity to request an accounting from their duly elected representative. It's already been reported in several venues that most of the shouters and protesters at these meetings are not even residents of the districts where they are disrupting the debate. That speaks volumes.
It's really all about bullying to these people -- bullying and denying fellow Americans the chance to have their voices heard through intimidation and threats of physical violence. The leaked e-mails referenced in this article demonstrate that this is solely what it's all about for the "anti-healthcare reform" mobs.
If I've asked the question once, I've asked it a hundred times these past several years on this blog -- Why Do Right Wingers Hate Democracy?
