Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Steny Hoyer have called the constituents speaking out against ObamaCare at town halls “un-American,” and that didn’t slow them down. Will calling them “racists” do it? MS-NBC’s Ed Schultz tosses a softball to Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), last seen being flummoxed by his own constituents last week.
At the time, Dingell dismissed his critics as “infiltrators.” Today, they’re the equivalent of the Ku Klux Klan (via The Weekly Standard):
What message has the House Democratic leadership sent this week to voters in their district? If you show up to town halls to criticize us, you’re un-American Klan members. Somewhere in here, there’s a killer GOP television spot just itching to run in the summer of 2010.

They seem fearful they're not going to get their free stuff anymore if 'those uppity white conservatives' keep exercising their Constitutional rights to protest bad government.
Technically, that's already been done - recall Nepalitano's homeland security memo from a couple months ago describing us as terrorists and profiling us by our bumber stickers.
What could possibly be next?
Dingle reminds me of Hitler
AKA "the good old days", John??
Since this seems to be the chorus, I wonder if the Dems focused group the “race card?” I would believe that it would be possible to now tackle the head Dims electorally by repudiating their tactics of using race hate. Never mind the blue duds who should fear the liberalism of the college campus radicals weighing them down.
“Why Rhett, I’ve told you about washing your hands after the weekly cross burning!”, “See, it’s comming off”..
Great Line from “Blazing Saddles!”
“Appropriate action” on the part of the government against this “domestic terrorist threat”.
Have you seen the advertisements for “internment and relocation specialists”?
Dingle reminds me of a stupid racist.
He's really laying it on thick - with a trowel !
Dingle reminds me of Hitler’s yes man.
Loud talking a threat to our democracy, FBI to use "flag" cookies to monitor
"Terrorism Laws Will Be Expanded," Dingle
"These KKK-types, Nazi unAmericans are more dangerous than Al Qaeda."
In the summer of 1989, Mr. Rostenkowski, then a congressman from Illinois and the powerful chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, was besieged by a crowd of 50 senior citizens in Chicago . . . the protesters -- shouting "coward," "recall" and "impeach" -- forced him to sprint through a gas station to his car. . . [if I remember correctly they proceeded to rock his government limo]
The protesters were angry about [a new Medicare law] . . .That law was soon repealed . . . the television images of Mr. Rostenkowski under assault struck fear in the hearts of politicians . . .
"Politicians were traumatized by the Rostenkowski episode," said Henry J. Aaron, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution."
Next citizens will be charged with terrorism for speaking loudly in the presence of a Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) leader or stalwart.
