I agree with the sentiment that these Congress people holding the town halls aren't doing a good job of listening and responding to people. They're like deer in the headlights. You'd think they'd know how to deal with angry mobs.
But come on people. Get a grip. Why is it so plain to me that these folks are nuts. Why can't they see that they're irrational, nonsensical? This man says he read the Koran and according to his interpretation, people who don't believe are supposed to be exterminated. Someone of Islamic faith who reads the Bible might also be shocked and appalled. Religious texts are violent.
Some idiot shoves another idiot, who gets violent and irate and says God is going to judge Specter and the rest of his cronies on the Hill. It seems to me that an anti-Islamic feeling is playing a big role in this mass ignorance. I think that's one of the reasons that these people hate Obama so much. Republicans successfully convinced many people during the campaign that Obama was a secret Muslim terrorist. Republicans did a terrible disservice to the American people not combating the rumors as soon as they started. Republicans figured they could exploit people to win an election. They've validated these people and have created a monster.
