Really?

The base DID go out and vote. That's who these protesters are, the base. The GOP's problem was attracting people outside that base.

You cannot allow your allies to call people protesting a health-care plan “extremists” and “right wing,” or bought, or Nazi-like, either. They’re citizens. They’re concerned. They deserve respect.

I didn't read the article, only what you posted. Unless there was some editing job I assum these are her words.

They don't deserve respect on a human level. On a constitutional one yes but my father said always "you get respect when you give respect" and these people are being ANYTHING but respectful.

Reinforcing a correct statement.

Most of the republican rank and file opposed McCain in the primaries.

Because Republicans can not act right, normal people will stop listening to you. You are like little kids who need attention. Nobody gives a shit what you people think but now we really will not even pretend to listen to your stupid shit.

What the hell does "Liberty", "Freedom", "Tyranny" need to do with healthcare? When you start shouting out Mark Levin talking points people will stop listening to you.

It's fine since the people who are being forced out were only going to boo and waive Kenyan flags.

Fucking politics. Two wrongs is the status quo.

Hitler with Obama? Classy. Christ, if anybody can make themselves less tasteful than the Nazis, it's the current Republican party. It's like they have managed to bottle up all the petty ugliness in the world.

Now is the perfect opportunity for the Republicans to be proactive, identify specific problems worth reforming in the health care market, and show they can act like adults. You know, rebuild the party based upon substantive policies. But no. Let's bust out the Hitler 'bama shops!

No.. its that she lied about who she was. She tried to pretend she was just some unaffiliated person. It encapsulates everything people have been saying about astroturf and fake outrage. It totally destroys Noonans article
