GOP tea-party thugs planning nationwide event Aug. 22nd, targeting every member of Congress
http://recessrally.com/

So now these thugs are planning to take their intimidation from the town hall meetings, and target each member of Congress individually by staging pseudo-protests in front of their home town offices. We've already seen how ugly they've been in a semi-controlled environment of a town hall setting. How much more confrontational will they get?

Maybe we need to get some union representatives to show up at a few of these congressional offices to serve as protection should these thugs get out of control.

1. Hopefully this shit will end before the 22nd.
That would save us a lot of trouble.

2. I'll attend anything near Seattle, to rebut the assholes and idiots.
Time to dust off the real world commitment and leave the words for another day.

4. You know...it's about time we plan counter demonstrations for the same day.
We really should have a 'pro-government' rally and flex our muscles. I'd be happy to send these yahoo's a real message on how a real grassroots movement can respond.

5. Go for it...
...the loonier the better.

They are already overplaying their hand. They will take what's left of the GOP and turn it into the Ron Paul party. The same tactics sent the "Angry Left" into the wilderness for decades.

All the Dems have to do is govern effectively. Craft a bill that will improve the average person's life. Show some courage and do what's right.

Stop being afraid of loudmouths with no ideas.
