That crowd continued to cheer for Boehner.  Boehner continued to rail against public health care, and the medics had to listen to it as they saved a man's life.  There is general callousness and hypocrisy, and then there is this--on the steps of a revered American institution, no less.

  John Boehner should be forcibly tied at the hip to this moment for the rest of his career and life.   The highest elected Republican lawmaker using hallowed ground to demagogue against government health care reform under a poster of a Nazi death camp while the government was literally saving someone's life in his field of vision.

The mainstream media will botch this, like always.  All of the coverage will focus on the fact that Michelle Bachmann was able to command thousands to protest at the capital, or that this was further proof of the energized Conservative base, or the coverage will focus on laughing at the gaffes of the Pledge of Allegiance and Boehner quoting from the wrong document.  The real story is this _outrage_ perpetrated by John Boehner.  He should not ever get another mention in the media on this subject, unless it reads "House Minority Leader John Boehner, who despicably continued to stoke fear and anger during the exact moments when the object of his vitriol was a few yards away, helping someone stay alive, said the following today..."

We have to stay on this point and completely destroy his reprehensible name whenever we see any source treating him like a harmless loyal opposition.  This is 10 steps wayyyyyyy over the line.
