McCaskill Says Town Hall Anger Authentic

I'll say. She really handled herself well yesterday, answering question after question, for about 2 hours, amid jeers and boos and hollers and cheers and violence. (watch here) She must've went home yesterday and downed a six pack. After the event was over, she deemed it a success.

Since I'm on the wingnut email list, here is something that's out from Dick Morris today:

Obama Is Scared, He Is On Run, We Can Win This One. Barack Obama and his radical friends in Congress are on the run. They know Americans are shifting away from supporting his so-called healthcare "reform" program.

Dick has prepared a powerful TV ad that exposes Obama's takeover.

Of course, the email is soliciting a donation. Please visit Reality Check for the facts. A positive sign is that the media has begun fact checking. For a while there, they just let the wackos keep repeating rumors without dispelling them. As Obama said yesterday at his town hall, the White House is not collecting an enemies list.

Note, there are no death panels in the health care bill and abortions aren't funded by the bill.
