Had he stood up to that crazy b!tch with an "R" next to his name and said the same exact thing to her, I'd have his baby.

The republicans are being bullies in this situation and until you can point out a party-wide effort to disrupt things by the Dems, you can't make these sorts of comparisons.

There is room for legitimate debate amongst adults. There is not room for ridiculous nonsense, and it's time for the angry morons to sit down and let others discuss important issues.

And if you are still skeptical, just get somebody - ANYBODY - from the GOP to do what Barney Frank did, and watch us sing their praises to the high heavens. I'm looking forward to the opportunity.

I would suggest that since no Republicans have risen up en masse to condemn the town hall meetings embarrassments, the Hitler accusations, the Nazi implications, the outright lies about health care, the sin of omission leads people to conclude that Republicans as a group ARE being bullies, as their silence condones it all.
