The Specter of Lingua Dissensio

A tongue lashing with some stark language, in case you were wondering.
Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter, who hates being in the minority so much he changed parties to remain in power, stood up and took it today.
No one can fault his self interest in matters of his “change.” But there were consequences including his lining up behind the flawed Obama Hillary health care agenda. He is now up for a tough reelection and that also governs his strategy.
To your credit Arlen, you did try to physically separate a shouting match between two people, one one one side and one of the other side. But, realize you had to intervene to keep one of your supporters from more physical acts, incited by you, after your telling the dissenter who was not on the list to leave.
Your supporter then physically pushed the dissenter! You then realized what a jerk you had been ON CAMERA and only then allowed a dissenter to speak his peace which was was indeed full of fear and anger.
Fear always precedes anger in human beings. Among liberals or conservatives, Blacks or Whites, all homo sapiens regardless of their sexual preference or presentation.
He was hailed by Fox News this morning as he stood up today to withering and not all friendly, loud and in your face, intimidating questions and lectures. Most left handed clubbers call this shouting down, not dissension, some call it un-American, some call it angry partisan mobs trucked in by organized evil doers. It is really unfortunate that our Organizer in Chief blatantly continues to promote favored internecine “non profits” over others. His government is not embarrassed to pick the winners.
But sorry Arlen of Kansas, in your memoir even you might admit that out of “political fear”you might have canceled town halls not organized by the Chief Organizer, or not managed by “keep it a secret” tactics, “special” invites, surreptitiously inviting only a friendly homey mob “not organized” by the evil doers. Organized by the good guys. Alas, literally.
To wit: Rep Ed Perlmutter in Colorado whose staff denied or failed to publicize his town hall except to his special organized group. Ed, you might just get Kudos from Barack.
To your credit Arlen, you did try to physically separate a shouting match between two people, one one one side and one of the other side.
Bipartisan shouting. I did not like it. But I see it everywhere and by every partisan group.
So, lefty partisans, get off your high horse and cease parsing words that you believe clearly label, condemn and marginalize those who are sincerely afraid this and other bill are being rammed thorough now, because the Democrats Can. Bills that few Democrats have read even parts of, so they get their news about the bills just like you do, from John Stewart.
Stewart is one of my favorite satirists and left wing nut organizers I might ad. I knew the first time I saw him that he was a winner in the Satire Circle.
At that time I did not realize that he would become an even better organizer than Chicago Obama on the South Side of the City that Works. Wink, Wink.
John and Walter both belong in the hall of news fame for their effect on a generation of news hounds.
