What amazes me most, is the hypocrisy of it all. When Bush was in charge people protested, and sure, some got of hand, but in general it was legal protesting. The far right complained that we were unpatriotic. (Ughh e_e)
Now, they've been out of power for only 7 months and they're losing their shit. These protests aren't peaceful, they're basically trying to get into a yelling match with our representatives and scare them into voting down any healthcare reform. What's even more horrendous is how they show pictures of Obama with swastikas. It's really appalling.
Keith Olbermann did a special comment and got right to the heart of the matter. The underlying factor in the people who think this healthcare system is a way to kill of seniors, that Obama is a Kenyan, Obama is a socialist, Obama is hitler...it's really truly racism. There are people that cannot tolerate, under any circumstances, a black president.

P.S.. Fun fact, the people against healthcare reform and think it's a secret plan to kill seniors and the disabled tried to say that if Stephen Hawking was subject to UK's healthcare, he'd be dead already despite his intelligence. I don't think I need to explain how completely idiotic that statement is.
