This whole topic is completely ridiculous. What exactly did the protesters do that made it impossible for anyone to exercise free speech? Could you give a video or something as evidence?
And I am completely baffled that people actually think these protests and town hall meetings were somehow orchestrated by republican extremists. I have seen clips of a man demanding single payer healthcare. This isn't fake. There is absolutely no proof it is fake.
Anyone who dismisses these protests as fake is either knowingly lying about them or blatantly ignorant.

The word "peaceably" is no less important than any other part, & the taped protests were far from peaceable.
Then ACORN protests should be illegal as well.

And the protests against Bush should have never been allowed.

Hm.
You can expect protesters to be angry, that is normally why they protest.

I don't think my opinion would be heard if I shouted into that crowd.
Why is it that when conservatives protest (even though not all protesting were conservative) they are somehow going against free speech? Why is it that conservatives are "angry mobs" but people protesting conservatives are heroes? Are you completely blind to the double-standard you are taking part in?
