town halls
Democrat town halls = near mobs. Republican town halls – Republicans who will not vote for any healthcare reform = civil. Until you call the Congressman on it:
Update: Anthony of Ohio Daily Blog was there too and got this video:

So much for civility. At a town hall meeting where he calls for civility (and apparently pretty much gets it aside from a woman yelling “where’s the passion!”), Congressman Steve LaTourette (OH-14) replies to a question from a blogger with “BULLSHIT!”. Not once, but twice.
Tim at Blogger Interrupted has the video and will be posting it soon. Just spoke with him on the phone and he said the meeting was not anything like you see on TV at Democrat town halls. The reason why? LaTourette is likely not voting for any kind of healthcare reform whatsoever. When Tim asked him about this all he could muster was profanity.
Methinks Russo is on to something.

OK. He didn’t say fucking. I did. He also didn’t say she was, but he did say her interpretation of “end of life counseling” as “death panels” is:
One of the foremost advocates of expanding Medicare end-of-life planning coverage is Johnny Isakson, a Republican Senator from Georgia. He co-sponsored 2007’s Medicare End-of-Life Planning Act and proposed an amendment similar to the House bill’s Section 1233 during the Senate HELP Committee’s mark-up of its health care bill. I reached Sen. Isakson at his office this afternoon. He was befuddled that this had become a question of euthanasia, termed Palin’s interpretation “nuts,” and emphasized that all 50 states currently have some legislation allowing end-of-life directives.
The entire Klein piece is a great read, but I repeat. Sarah Palin is fucking nuts:
How did this become a question of euthanasia?
I have no idea. I understand — and you have to check this out — I just had a phone call where someone said Sarah Palin’s web site had talked about the House bill having death panels on it where people would be euthanized. How someone could take an end of life directive or a living will as that is nuts. You’re putting the authority in the individual rather than the government. I don’t know how that got so mixed up.
…and so are most of the deathers mobbing town halls.
