(12,461 posts)I just posted a thread about what I had heard on Chris Matthew's show. They are implying the hecklers at the Ryan event were activists. Not ordinary people.
The last thing they want shouted at any event...are the words "LEAVE OUR MEDICARE ALONE!" "DO YOU PLAN TO CUT MEDICARE" the words Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid. Are buzz words, third rail, they don't want the alarm sounded. Trying to defuse it.

...activists do. They organize protests. I mean, they seemed to have been OK with official Romney campaign tactics to disrupt Obama campaign events, but now they're upset with activists?

(31,237 posts)heckling Ryan is a bad thing? By the way, was Ryan one of the Reps who was holding closed door district meetings during the Budget debate? IIRC, some of the GOP didn't allow ALL the "public" into their "public" meetings.

(12,461 posts)asking this question...Teabaggers had their signs "DON'T TOUCH OUR MEDICARE" Did RomneyRyan believe those were just props?
