As we sit here and watch these groups of individuals attack, yes attack, healthcare forums all over the country it reminds me of 2nd grade. When a little 2nd grades would put his hands over his or her ears so they would not have to hear what the teacher is saying. Healthcare reform is complex and difficult to understand. It requires an in-depth discussion on policy matters most Americans do not understand. That this why these forums are important, to have the questions answered and see others opinions.
The problem is these right-wing groups funded (yes they are funded by conservative groups and the RNC), attacking these forums reduce the discussion to little more than a 2nd grader with his or her hands over the ears. Not only do they do that put they bring Nazi symbols, send death threats, and act like a mob. As Americans we all want the right to be heard but how are these groups even allowing you to be heard?
