GOP Congressman Shouted Down at Town Hall

I wasn't a fan of this kind of thing when the Tea Partiers did it during the health care debate and I'm not really a fan of it now when the roles are reversed.  I will admit that part of me cheers to see liberals getting upset and getting involved in the ground game in these fights.  On the other hand, I remain convinced that civil and rational discussion of the issues is the only way we'll make any real progress.  On the other hand, I'm not naive enough to think that both sides are equally capable of that type of discourse.

Furthermore, I really understand the anger and frustration of the people on the ground in states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio.  Nevertheless, I prefer civility in these cases.
