Blue Dog Chris Carney Wants to Feel the Teabaggy Love
By: Jane Hamsher Sunday August 9, 2009 6:43 pm	Tweet

Gort42 has video of what happened when some "concerned citizens" showed up to a Town Hall in Chris Carney’s district:

Some of the "concerned citizens" included Republican Pike County Commissioner Richard Caridi, Republican Milford attorney Charles Kannebecker and Republican formerNew Jersey State Senator John Scott who flirted with a run against Carney.

Gort spoke with Carney afterwards, who had a few choice words for his human trolls:

Rude is not the right word for these people. Ed was just doing his job assisting people with private matters and they deprived their neighbors from getting help with their problems. They should remember that I’m one of the Blue Dogs that slowed the process down so we could have a discussion about this issue.

Ingrates.

Tonight’s CBS evening news focused on the “grassroots” protesters who got in another Blue Dog’s grill, while refusing to mention the names “FreedomWorks”, “Dick Armey”, or “Pete Peterson”:

The summer recess is no holiday for Mississippi Congressman Gene Taylor – conservative, or blue dog Democrat.

“We need to keep the promise that we already made,” Taylor said.

He’s opposed to his party’s health care reform bill, yet still taking a beating at home.

“I want to know what price tag does Gene Taylor sell out for?” asked a man at a town hall meeting.

The town hall meeting that usually draws two dozen brought 200 or more this week, reports CBS News correspondent Kelly Cobiella. Some part of an organized grassroots campaign against the president’s health care reform and his party in general.
