Tensions are running so high at town hall meetings that Rep. David Scott, a Georgia Democrat, yelled at a local doctor concerned about health care after mistaking him for an "astroturf" political operative looking for a fight.
Mr. Scott became visibly agitated when one of his constituents, a practicing doctor, asked a few questions about health care reform during a town hall meeting. The meeting was held to discuss a road project, but was opened up for questions near the end. That's when Dr. David Hill stood up to speak.
Dr. Hill asked Mr. Scott why he was going to vote for a health care plan similar to that implemented in Massachusetts "that is shown not to work" and if he supported a government-provided health care insurance option.
The congressman replied by accusing the doctor of "hijacking" his event.

More at the link, as well as links to local TV coverage, and an interview with the doctor.
As one of the commenters to the story puts it, Scott was snookered by his own party's propaganda, and just lost a huge number of votes in his district. What a tool.

Black congressmen do not lose votes for acting or voting like idiots, unless they are named Cynthia McKinney.

Hi,
I know many a doctor who would have dressed the congressman down on the spot. Seems to me the one who has no decency was pointing his finger.
This stuff just drives me up the wall.

Hi,
I started a thread under the politics thread. I tried to email him and he will not allow emails from outside his district so I sent him a fax and posted it on the thread. I would hope he gets several hundred thousand faxes dressing him down for his childish behavior.

would that make it mass-debation?

It's glaringly obvious that Scott hasn't clue one as to health care reform. His ignorance on the subject is revealed layer by layer the more he speaks in the video.

Oh boy, now "somebody" painted a swastika on his office sign.... Looks like an inside job to give him some cover.

I expect swastikas to start appearing at events and other places now. The libtards have been given the hint and will act on it.

:bow: :bow: Excellent observation Crock, surprising the timing of the paint job. Not before he came up looking like a real idiot but AFTER he let people that he didn't give a hoot about anyone but the people that voted for him in HIS district.

Yup, now they can argue that those who oppose him are racist Nazis.

Nope--just a place that looks down their noses at southerners for being racist and bigoted while ignoring the even WORSE bigotry and racism that occurs in their own back yards.
