This would be funny, if it wasn't so damn sad. It's comments like this that make the sacrifice by our brothers and sisters in the Civil Rights Movement appear to have been in vain. What kind of asshole compares open dissent to congressional legislation to the Civil Rights Movement?
The Dems got their big chance and blew the hell out of it.

The third-ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives on Thursday compared the disruptive protesters at recent health care town halls to people who unleashed dogs and spat on civil rights demonstrators during the 1960s.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Rep. James Clyburn, (D-S.C.), said that there was "absolutely" an analogy to be drawn between the horrid experience that he went through as a civil rights leader and the boisterous conservatives who have disrupted health care forums.
