Thank you, Mr. Sensenbrenner.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

You could have hid the hearing on a little backwater cable station like C-SPAN. Done. Over. But, no. You went beyond the call of duty. Thanks to you, at least twice as many people are likely to tune in now. Maybe ten or a hundred times as many.

And for that...I thank you.

[babylonsister]

1. Absolutely! He's now brought a lot of attention

to this topic that we need to be informed about. So yeah, thanks. :evilgrin:

[Tomee450]

2. I just saw the replay on C-Span

Shocking behavior by Sensenbrenner.

[stillcool]

3. i just watched also...

if the bejesus wasn't scared out of me before, it sure is now. That man has total disrespect for any but his own kind, and is a total disgrace.

[jean]

4. Yes, in that respect, well done, Chairman Sensenbrenner. Thousands

of concerned citizens tuned into the replay of your hearing tonight and those who could not will be able to access it online for weeks to come. Your treatment of the witnesses and the minority puts emphasis on the 'must see' quality of your hearing.

Also, the focus of the progressive community in this country has turned to you. Congratulations and may you revel in the attention.

[Catch22Dem]

5. What?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

8. i watched again with my kids

what a history lesson. even pubescent people were outraged! thank God for CSpan

[Beaver Tail]

11. Punished ..

When our children act like this they are punished for such rude inconsiderate behaviour. That being said I decided to do a search for the name Sensenbrenner on the ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS and PBS. Only ABC had a positive hit specific to this incident (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=837981). I have not seen it hit the Canadian or British press yet.

[Rainscents]

14. Beaver Tail... Welcome to DU!!!

:hi:

[flpoljunkie]

19. Welcome to DU, Beaver Tail. Thanks for the report.

There are articles in the New York Times and Washington Post today--the Post one is better--but the best is the AP article you referenced from ABC News with Nadler's quote:

''We are not besmirching the honor of the United States, we are trying to uphold it," he said.

This same AP article by Jim Abrams was carried in today's Los Angeles Times and Boston Globe.

[Coexist]

9. How dare he treat United States Congressmen and Women like that.

He is an abomination. They are respected leaders, not his whipping boys. I stll get angry when I think about how he treated Rep. Conyers and Rep. Jackson Lee and Rep. Nadler.

Not to mention the wonderful, dedicated guest speakers.

[tishaLA]

10. Abomination is maybe even too kind

his just a piece of fucking filth. I saw small snippets online today (On DemBloggers, I think), but nothing prepared me for that performance he put on. I loved when Rep. Wasserman-Schultz talked about a baptism by fire. Indeed.

Poor Reps. Conyers, Jackson-Lee, and Nadler. Something makes me think they'll get the last laugh, though.

18. My email to Mr. Sense-less

Wow. I don't have the words to describe how I feel. I am so ashamed to know that there are people like you in the government of my country. Please consider retirement...and relocation. You need to be somewhere far away from a democracy. Wow.

[Zodiak]

20. Shiela Jackson Lee

Did any of you hear the interview on Randi with Sheila Jackson Lee? She said she and her colleagues at the hearing are going to be PUNISHED for what happened!

I couldn't believe my own ears! These poor Democrats operate in an evironment where they are punished for representing their constituents. That statement she said should be on every newscast, every newspaper, every message board across the country. The fact that the opposition is punished is a sure sign that our country has devolved into a fascist state.

I know, I know....Howard Dean said something bad about Republicans, so why would this get any coverage? It is too much fun for news sources to bash Democrats endlessly, isn't it, especially with other Democrats spinelssly piling on.

[annabanana]

21. I missed that! For what reason are they to be punished?

For what possible reason could they be held responsible for the debacle I saw in that room?!?
