I think an announcement ought to be made at the beginning of those town
hall meetings that anyone who behaves in a "disruptive" manner will be
ejected immediately.

The meetings are set up for dialogue between rational adults, usually
with a presented and an audience, and the audience is supposed to ask
questions and get answers during and after the presentation.

Unfortunately, mostly Republicans are engaging in planned and
coordinated activities to disrupt the meetings. Well, screw 'em. Toss
them out of the meetings as forcefully as they misbehave, and if they
resist, arrest them.

Civil protest and disobedience is fine in this country. When protestors
cannot behave in a civil fashion, it is time to toss them out on their
asses.

I was only joking about an invitation only policy. Personally, I like
letting them disrupt the meetings. Eventually, they will be seen for
what they are, sore losers.


The majority of citizens who show up at these meetings are well-behaved
adults who either want information, or want to question their
congresscritter in an appropriate fashion, or want to get a point of
view across in the civil manner. The ****bags who show up only to
disrupt interfere with the process. The problem with "eventually," is
that rational reasonable adults who want to attend such meetings will
simply stop showing up because of the disruptors.
