2. Don't let a minority of loudmouths turn us into neoconservatives who want to suppress free speech.
It's one thing to point out that these guys are disrupting meetings, and I would not oppose even police intervention so long as the intervention is not based upon content of speech, but to start interpreting laws about "rebellion" hypothetically is a scary road to go down.

3. Glenn Beck talks about revolution. A lot.
He tells people to not be violent, but there's clearly a wink and nod when he says it.

4. I believe the OP was referring to ARMED insurrection
meaning those who have talked about bringing weapons ( the Scott twitter thread from earlier) to the town hall meetings, the whole "Nazi" call to arms thing (see thread on Rachel Maddow's show here)

6. If any conservative is calling for armed insurrection, he should be hanged
Maybe not hanged, but sent to Gitmo! :D

I don't watch Glenn Beck's show so I'm not familiar with what he says.

7. Armed insurrection and killing of elected officials and citizens belonging
to the Democratic Party is not "free speech". But thank you for your concern.

Enjoy your stay.

9. They are the ones suppressing our free speech aren't they?
The whole idea of the Town Halls is to discuss the health-care problem and they are violating others rights to ask questions or to voice their opinions. What would happen if a group of thugs on our side shouted them down? The wing-nuts would be all over it calling us Nazis.
