It’s ignorant to say that “she’s a Congressman, not a Senator”, when Senators ARE Congressmen.
It’s ignorant not to know that’s common usage anyway, technicalities notwithstanding.
Yes, that would be ignorant, which is why I would give our Canadian comrades a pass on it. What’s Nurse Carmen’s defect, then?
You really don’t get it, do you?
If she does get it, I hope she keeps it, 'cause I sure don’t want it after she’s had it!
Goddamnit, she’s a fucking Representative, already. Can we please get back to discussing how the American health care system is the greatest in the world?
I thought that was something Jesse Jackson said about himself, complaining about his critics?
I would not class it as ignorant when subsituting the more general Congressman with the more specific and incorrect Senator.
Meh, it’s typical Carol – she’s just being her usual, trolling self.
Says the Queen of All Trolls, her very own self. 35,000+ posts? Get up off me, bitch.
“Death Panel” 
This kills me! Figuratively…
Ummm…yeah.
Like they need it…
White House spokesman: nobody panic!
Or perhaps it’s just that the administration just realizes that while it may be in the best interests of Mark Potok and the SPLC to push their political fetish porn about how there’s a scary right-wing mob out there THAT COULD SNAP AT ANY MINUTE! - it’s not really in the best interests of the administration itself, to say nothing of the country.
I have to admire the conservative mindset that takes ignorant right wing vitriol as evidence of the big meanies on the left.
Why would the town hall hate mobs be expected to be a securituy threat to the President? He isn’t at most of them. He still does get more death threats than any President in history.
By the way, athelas, I haven’t heard anybody expressing any fear that the town hall mobs are going to “SNAP AT ANY MINUTE.” Cite? With the exception of the idiots who bring guns or carry signs screaming for Obama’s children to be murdered, the complaint is only that they are trying to cockblock communcation and prevent Congressmen from being abe to speak to their consitituents, not that “they’re going to snap.” Nobody has said that. How about you guy quit makin’ things up.
Try reading the thread title before reflexively bloviating, good sir.
The thread title is still accurate.
Another meme that has crept in is “when the LEFT do it, it’s FREEDOM OF SPEECH.” I have yet to see anyone on the left say that the town hall outrage is not protected speech, or that it is substantially different than legally protected speech from the left. I have heard a lot of people say it’s annoying, that it’s ill informed, and that the rubes doing it are unwitting foot soldiers for corporations, but it’s hard to refute any of that so instead you dismantle an argument nobody made.
