Town Hall Blitz, Part 4

I've talked about Rep. Brad Miller (D-NC) a couple of times before, he's the Congressman from Raleigh who isn't holding town hall meetings because of a least one death threat made against him personally. He promised to told one-on-one meetings with constituents last week, and one such meeting Friday turned into a Town Hall Blitz anyway.

TPMDC's Eric Kleefield has been following up on that Friday protest:

These people really do see America as a place that has now been taken over by an illegitimate regime -- note the signs like "Liberal Government + Liberal Media = Tyranny," and "United Socialist States of America." Plus there's a defiance of the home-made shirts of a cracked ACORN logo, with the name spelled backwards to make a new acronym: "Not Really 4 Obama's Communist America." If the government isn't conservative, it's tyrannical.
As I said earlier this morning, conservatives have no problem exercising government power, as long as they are the ones exercising it. Now that this is no longer the case for the first time in 14 years, the government is full of unending tyranny that must be opposed by patriots.
"And we're tired of the government's saying that we're paid and that we're organized. We are not. We're everyday citizens," the man explained "We get together on Internet Web sites to figure out where things are going on, and what's going on -- just like the other side does. And we're sick and tired of this, we gotta take back America now."
Take back America before an African-American president and his army of liberals are allowed to change anything, he means.

If revolution is necessary, well...government is messy. When will the tyranny over the poor conservative white wingnut male end? They honestly believe they are being victimized here by affordable health insurance, folks.
