An excerpt:

“In his statement, Dingell described being confronted by a father who feared legislation would prevent his son who is has cerebral palsy from getting care.
“Unfortunately, he would not allow me an opportunity to respond to his concern,” Dingell said. “I’m sorry that Romulus Police had to escort them out, but he left officers no choice. We had 200 people in the hall, more than 200 people outside, and we could not let one person take over that meeting.” “…

“”As long as I have a vote, I will not let shouting, intimidation or misinformation deter me from fighting for this cause,” Dingell said.
The protesters’ actions undermine the public discussion needed to make democracy work, Dingell told The Associated Press after a Friday appearance at the University of Michigan.
“The people who came to learn something about health care were the victims,” Dingell said in Ann Arbor, Mich. “I wasn’t the victim.” ”

Meaning of course that he WAS the victim!

To be sure, shouting down Dems is a two-edged sword: it can make us seem narrow-minded and…bigoted.

The nearest I can tell is VA-11 D will not be holding open forums regarding the "free choice to die act". However, if I get the change to ask a question, my wife will be ready with the camera.

This should make clear to anyone just what these far-left elitists think of your opinion. Note that whenever Obama, Emanuel, or Gibbs are asked about why polls show SO many people oppose their misguided Cap-n-Trade and Obamacare proposals, they ALWAYS segue-right-into “we need to educate the public…”.

All the protesters want is for Castor and others to read the bill and know what they are supporting. And for that they are an "angry mob"? Leave it to union thugs to show up and then demonstrate what an angry mob really is. The SEIU shows up and shoving breaks out.

Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management's wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)
