Americans, 72-76% of them, want health care coverage that is universal, can't be denied, can't be canceled, and has a public option. Now the Republicans have figured out how to silence them. Using their best tricks from watching too many Godfather movies, or maybe just the House staff who shut down the 2000 vote recount, they resort to mob tactics, thuggery, threats, and intimidation. Makes ya really proud.
Town hall ambushes are rolling out all over America. The health care industry has hired Astro-turf staffs in in 30 different states to disrupt and shut down town halls and all public discussion about health care reform. Watch tonight's Rachel Maddow show when the video comes out. In scenes distinctly reminiscent of the GOP shutdown of the recount in 2000, congressman after congressman gets shouted down by dial-a-mob transported from state to state, bussed in to harass, intimidate and silence.
