i think the left does wrong to go on about the "angry mobs" shouting against healthcare reform. an angry mob is a violent mob. a hungry mob is an angry mob. etc. these folks are just talking back to their legislature. it's democracy, in a perfectly fine old american tradition. that's also why msnbc shouldn't be segueing from healthcare protests to birthers. it's just too tendentious as a strategy of discrediting the popular opposition.
