The Rush Limbaugh Effect

In my opinion what is causing the antics at these town hall meetings on health care is what I call the Rush Limbaugh effect. No listening, no compromise, no conversation, but just simply bombastic bullying. It’s not good enough to disagree; one must destroy the opposition according to him. In this country everyone has a right to their opinion and also has the freedom to speak it. But, when you shout down another person trying to do the same thing, you are violating their rights. We need to get back to intelligently discussing the topic and also making progress on the issue. The time of hysterical screaming must end.
