Progressives really need to start organizing and getting out there to support our reps. These people are truly bat-shit crazy and dangerous.

Rep. Dingell Town Hall: A Teabagger Extravaganza (PHOTOS)

(Excellent diary. - promoted by Eric B.)

Cross-posted at The Daily Kos and Eclectablog.
UPDATED below, please have a look.

Heading into last night's health care town hall meeting with U.S. Representative John Dingell, my wife and I anticipated that there would probably be a decent turnout of opposition from the tea bagger side of the tracks. I've been reading about how the Disrupticans (hat tip: Detroit Mark) have been shutting down any semblance of civil discourse at these events all around the country and there was little reason to think it would be any different here in Michigan.

And, of course, we were right.

Representative Dingell, bless his heart, did not shirk the crowd or the tough questions. There wasn't a single softball lobbed at him the entire night. Yet even when he refuted some of the most ridiculous myths and accusations of the tea baggers, he was shouted down, called a liar and treated as if he was personally responsible for the euthanasia of all senior citizens in the country.

Many pics and further descriptions of the disrespectful behavior.

1. Who are these people?
I cannot find Mike Sola in Milan Michigan.

Does anyone want to see if these people are who they claim to be?
