The crowd's size and vocal frustration grabbed the attention of Green Bay police, who arrived soon after the event began to keep the peace. Capt. Rick Demro said no one was arrested.

Kagen never battled the crowd's volume, but voiced his concerns several times about its attitude.

"You can talk, but I can't listen to 100 people at the same time," he said. "This is not a shouting contest. This should be a discussion."

If the event were a shouting match, the mob won. Kagen tried talking about the health-care bill, but the roaring chants deafened his attempts. Several elderly people covered their ears and grimaced at the level of noise.

1. So they think shouting will work?

Stupid teabaggers. They need a lesson in civil discourse. All us Dems came prepared to our Bush-Brownose TH meetings, but I never saw shouting. These folks need a lesson in civil discourse. Neanderthals.

They're now lumped in with the Birthers as the nutburger party.

4. The RWers have been planningt his for a while

Every time health care reform's come up in the Press Gazette for about the fast month and a half or so, some of the more notoriously RW posters in the comments section played up Rep Kagen's health care forum, and urged the other RWers to attend.

You gotta wonder who they've been taking their marching orders from.
