In what pro-Obama NBC News referred to as Cops Bamboozle Old Timers to Leave Feinstein's Office, staffers working for U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., had the police remove a group of retirees from the senator's office in West Los Angeles. The seniors, who wanted to talk with Feinstein about healthcare reform, would not leave when asked, even after sitting in her conference room "for more than six hours." Whichever side of the issue they were on these retirees exhibited a kind of intensity of commitment that the political class will not be able to ignore. And which is becoming the norm at town meetings across America.It's a shame when elected representatives don't have the time to talk to their constituents, and it's becoming the norm, rather than the rule.
We've got a political class in this country who thinks that they should be granted deference for some perceived superiority. The fact is that an elected representative is hired by the people and is answerable to the people. Calling the police on a peaceful group of people is contemptible.
Constituents everywhere should make a concerted effort to throw the bums out of office. For myself, I intend to vote against Landrieu, Vitter, and Alexander at the next opportunity. Almost anyone else would be better than those reprehensible clowns.
Hat tip, Instapundit.

No incumbents.
In California, definitely, and almost as certainly in other states, they have indicated by their track records that they are unqualified intellectually, ethically, and by temperament, to hold office.
Of course convincing the morons known as the electorate of these facts is another issue. . .
Most of them no longer feel they owe us ANYTHING Paw... They are now above us, and don't deign to actually listen to their constituents. And yes, VOTE THEM ALL OUT!
After an election and a re-election or maybe two, a politician begins to think he or she owns the office. They don't. . . . We own it.
And the cops won't take our guns when illegally ordered to by their superiors, either... Yeah, right.
Well, I won't, Bob. And a lot of my brothers won't either.
PawPaw, it's not the folks like you who scare me. You've been around long enough to understand the actual principles involved. And as evidenced here you actually THINK.
The ones who simply folow orders are the dangerous ones, and after my "a few months short of 30 years" military service I believe the majority of those members will also fall into the "follow orders without thinking" category. It won't take many well armed non-thinkers to spark some very real problems.
Combine the order followers with the ones who think that laws are for the lesser beings known (now) as civilians and formerly generically as non-police, and things could get ugly.
