Doug, the outbursts that you cite are organized by insurance companies and ancillary
political supporters. They are not really grass roots by any means. This is a Republican
tactic that was taken from the protests during Vietnam although the proponents of
the Vietnam war were not shouted down so that they couldn't be heard. They were promptly arrested as these current protesters should be.

This is no longer a free country. Free speech is being stifled by a handful of bullying
tactics by Republican operatives. There is no debate on health care but partisan
jockeying through yelling and it can lead to violence.

This is not the America that I believe in. This is the absence of free speech (more like
crying fire in a crowded theater).
