Breaking - Tea Party Member or members force way into the house chamber!

Caught it on C-Span a few mins ago.

Was watching the progression towards a vote later this evening when, during a point where the mic's were turned off, the chair stood and the mics came on for just a moment. The chair said something very close to - I direct the sergeant at arms to escort these people that have forced their way into the chamber... then the mic went silent again and the camera went to a wide shot, which showed several representatives looking up and off to the left, as tho watching something going on in that part of the chamber off-camera.
I placed a call to someone I went to college with who happens to work on the hill, and that person said that they were having issue's with protesters trying to get into the chamber to disrupt the legislation.

These wing nuts are losing their minds, I would not be surprised if we saw armed protest before the vote is taken later today.

1. Inside Job!!!! If it was Code Pink they wouldn't have gotten through.

[leftstreet]

4. !!

:-)

[xultar]

9. The GOP congress critter asshole(s) who snuck them through needs to be

investigated by the ethics committee.

You know on his historic day no way anyone should have been able to sneak through, they had some help.

[Tejas]

21. Sounds like a few security personnel will/should be in hot water.

WTF?

[EFerrari]

14. No kidding!

[WolverineDG]

16. ITA, xultar nt

[laughingliberal]

26. True. If it was National Nurses Union, they wouldn't have gotten through, either. nt

[Frances]

2. And people were arrested for attending Repub rallies

just for having Dem bumper stickers.

[HughMoran]

3. I hope they make fools out of themselves today

Obviously I hope nobody gets hurt in the process.

[leftstreet]

5. OH NOES!! Someone mobilize Teh Coffee Party!

:eyes:

[demtenjeep]

6. I am afraid someone is going to get hurt

This is scary that they are so out of control!

[etherealtruth]

10. Sadly, a legitimate fear

[LiberalLoner]

11. I agree with you. also afraid of violence. Very scary.

[ohheckyeah]

18. I doubt any of them

have the balls to start anything violent. Bullies seldom do if the odds aren't in their favor.

[quakerboy]

32. if they are attempting to force their way into the house

That doesn't sound chickenishly nonviolent to me. That sounds like at least some of them have reached the "will do anything, any sense of restraint or common sense gone" stage.

[The Backlash Cometh]

19. They got away with it in Miami during the election of 2000.

We'll probably find out that these people are also Washington insiders.

[PearliePoo2]

7. Crazy brainwashed bastards.

The Beckster, MsWolfKiller and Oxyboy OWN this mob and their violence.
:scared:

[sneezepaddle]

8. Let them show out...America is watching.

[demtenjeep]

12. The whole world is watching

isn't that how it went?

[leftstreet]

Oh please. No one is watching this crap

It's political theater for the dwindling bases

[Marr]

31. You're so negative.

And so absolutely accurate. :P

I once read a study about pessimists and optimists, and as it turns out the split is really more like optimists vs. realists. Optimists were far more incorrect in their estimations of quantifiable data than the "pessimists" were.

[leftstreet]

33. hehe

:thumbsup:

[Blix Krieg]

13. Subversive Trash

Arrest them. All of them.

[Lorien]

15. Again. WHY AREN'T ARRESTS BEING MADE?

They arrest DADT protesters and hold them in jail overnight without a phone call, yet these nuts are allowed to continue? :crazy:

[leftstreet]

20. Because they aren't demanding Single Payer has a seat at the table?

Apparently that's what gets people arrested

[librechik]

27. +1 n/t

[Lorien]

29. Seems to be the case

I don't see the loyalists demanding arrests either, which seems downright bizarre to me.

[Odin2005]

30. You are allowed to lash out unless you threaten the status quo.

Just as Chris Hedges said. The PTB allow these fuckers to pull this shit while people supporting REAL REFORM are beaten, shot, and thrown in jail.

[The Backlash Cometh]

17. Yes. These people think they have the right to behave criminally.

Try living next to a right-winger who has something to hide. It can get pretty scary.

[Onceuponalife]

22. How come they get to protest right on the grounds

but anti-Bush protesters were kept blocks away from him at all times?

[datasuspect]

23. because the republicans are still in power

[JustinL]

24. according to Barney Frank, one of the disruptors was cheered by Republicans

Speaking with TPMDC's Brian Beutler shortly after I chatted with him, Frank recounted a story of an anti-reform protester in the House viewing gallery who had to be led off by security after the protester became disruptive.

Frank said that as the protester was being led away, Republican members on the floor began cheering him on loudly. Frank said the scene was a shock.

"I've never seen members of the house cheering on a guy resisting being kicked out of the chamber," he said. "It's a dangerous situation and The republicans are cheering him on."

[malaise]

25. I warned everyone that it was going to get ugly today

Fugg these RETHUGwingnuts.

[Odin2005]

28. If those were people demanding Single Payer they would be being beaten and jailed.
