Strange Scene: 10 Arrested As Tea Partiers Heckle Police
Christina Bellantoni | November 5, 2009, 4:04PM
U.S. Capitol Police arrested 10 people this afternoon after the Capitol Hill Tea Party crowd stormed Congressional office buildings.
Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, public information office for the Capitol Police, told TPMDC the arrests happened in the Cannon House building as tea partiers attempted to protest Speaker Nancy Pelosi about health care.
They were charged with unlawful entry (entering a Congressional office and refusing to leave when told to do so) and/or disorderly conduct (yelling in the hallway outside an office) at Room 235 in the Cannon House Office Building.
Room 235 is Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office for district business, not where she conducts her duties as Speaker. That's handled at an office in the Capitol building.

Now I think this is truly hilarious because Drudge has a link to the LEFT doing the same thing. Let's look at that;
It is protest day, for the Left and the Right, on Capitol Hill.
First out of the gate - 9 Protesters backing a universal health care system briefly occupied Sen. Joe Lieberman's office this morning.
Protesters were arrested, one by one, and dragged out of his office amid chants of "Everyone in and noone out, universal healthcare now!" and "Represent Connecticut, not AETNA!"
The whole affair, from occupation to final arrest, lasted 40 minutes.
Lieberman, the Connecticut Independent, has said he will join Republicans to filibuster a Democractic health bill if it contains a public health insurance option to operate alongside the private insurance market.
The article goes on to say there are literally thousands of anti 'o' care protestors in DC today. Soooo...... 9 liberals and they ALL get arrested. 10 conservatives get arrested out of thousands. Let's see what the DUmp has to say about the conservative protestors!

12. I wonder if this had something to do with Michelle Bachmann encouraging teabag protestors
to confront congresspeople at the Capitol. IIRC, she said something about seeing the whites of their eyes.
This kind of thing is frightening, there is the real possibility of violence from these people.

Did a Google search of protesters arrested nancy pelosi office
The first few hits were of a dozen pro single payer protesters arrested at her office yesterday and then stories about the 9 today at Liebermans.
Nothing at all about this "story".

Remember, Congress now calls 911 if you ask them a tough question...

They are worried about violence from the Tea PArty memebers when one of their supporters not long ago bit the small finger off of a guys hand just for protesting how the Obamabots are ramming health care down our throats? We really do need to have another civil war.

Oh, right -- a Talking Points Memo "article"?? More like "pure fabrication memo"!! Maybe I shouldn't take this so seriously but this is such :bs: that I can't let it go . . .

Yes indeed. Let them have Detroit and the other places they've done so "well" with. Not that they would want it, but they're not having Mississippi.
