Mom, Steny started it!

There are saddening reports about some protestors on Capitol Hill yesterday. Make That the Nas-Tea Party. I do not condone intimidation or racism. I can, however, appreciate the frustration many Americans are feeling in response to the Democrats' democratic hypocrisy, Dems' historic abuse of the legislative process and Dems' seeming disdain for voter opinion. Steny Hoyer, on the other hand, dismisses as "hate" and "incivility" the frustration exacerbated by Democrats' Chicago-style lawmaking. Hoyer was quoted in the above report as follows:

"On the one hand, I am saddened that America’s debate on health care — which could have been a national conversation of substance and respect — has degenerated to the point of such anger and incivility," he said. "But on the other, I know that every step toward a more just America has aroused similar hate in its own time."
