Citizens peaceable assembling to protest against their out of control government is "terribly awry"? The writer is an idiot.
"gone terribly awry" is the WTO pro-communist riots in Seattle...

On the eve of the August recess, members are reporting meetings that have gone terribly awry, marked by angry, sign-carrying mobs and disruptive behavior. In at least one case, a congressman has stopped holding town hall events because the situation has spiraled so far out of control.
“I had felt they would be pointless,” Rep. Tim Bishop (D-N.Y.) told POLITICO, referring to his recent decision to temporarily suspend the events in his Long Island district. “There is no point in meeting with my constituents and [to] listen to them and have them listen to you if what is basically an unruly mob prevents you from having an intelligent conversation.”

For years, we’ve heard the media whine that people never got involved in the political process. Now they’re voicing their opinions, and it’s bad?
they only pointless because ...
WE WON”T SWALLOW YOUR EFFING KOOLAID..
Town halls meeting are to take OUR VIEWS TO DC, NOT the Other Way Round.
Sorry COMRADE, we’re ON to your ****
I can understand his reluctance to hold a TH.
Why would any dumocrat want to subject themselves to the will of the people? Why expose their liberal lies to the public?
The brilliant, smart, cool, intellectual, all-knowing
Mr. Bishop has decided not to hold town hall meetings because it would be pointless to listen to his constituents, because he already knows they don’t want his government health care “reform”.
So, watch him vote for it in the coming deliberations in congress.
IMHO
Pointless because our REPRESENTATIVES are going to do as they damn well please.
So now we’re POINTLESS.
Another nice ad for 11/10

Show them the “point” of elections.
NY-1 needs to beat its Bishop.
This libtard is my Congressman. What an asshat.
...is this going to be his campaign slogan next year? (nyuk, nyuk). Actually, it'll probably be his opponent's.
Constituents called NY Rep. Tim Bishop "pointless". In all my life I don't think I have ever been this disgusted with my government.
these career elitists are sooooooo over.
Vote them ALL OUT next November. Leave BO with nothing. Send him on vacation for the rest of his term.
Does Tim mean, no matter what he will defy the will of the American people? Tim is pointless except for the point on top of his head. Hope he likes his new shiney shopping cart and his card board box under the over pass to his nearest highway. 2010 is a comin soon Tim, get ready!
‘an intelligent conversation’ for a dim means agreeing with whatever they say.
Bishop is a Pionty Headed LibTARD!
These morons really need to stop calling themselves “Representatives”. I suggest “would-be masters”.
