Reply #125: Here's a group giving out leaflets and harassing him in Seattle...fake blood smeared on them.

They won't let him have a book signing in peace. I never heard of this group. It takes money to organize like this to bring down a public option.

"A spirited crowd, made up of Socialist Alternative members, United for Single Payer, and other single-payer activists chanted for an end to the insurance companies control over the healthcare debate and held signs and banners calling for single-payer healthcare. Some protesters smeared themselves with fake blood and laid down on the sidewalk in a theatrical die-in to represent the 22,000 people that die every year from inadequate health insurance coverage. "

"Dean escaped having to answer these questions on Friday, but that doesn't mean the questions will go away. Socialist Alternative and other single-payer activists will not stop campaigning for healthcare until there is free quality healthcare for all, and the power of the insurance companies is a distant memory.

With members and supporters of Socialist Alternative, as well as other groups joining the fight, we sent a clear message to Howard Dean, who was forced to walk past protesters covered in fake blood lying on the sidewalk - a somber reminder of the 22,000 Americans who die every year from lack of healthcare coverage."


This is so over the line.
