Conservative Economist Slams Town Hall Demonstrators

Bruce Bartlett had a lot to say about the noisy, mindless demonstrators (orchestrated by Dick Armey's organization) today in a post in the Daily Beast. Here's an excerpt that summarized the situation nicely:

"...conservative activists, who seem to believe that the louder they shout the more correct their beliefs must be, are less angry about Obama’s policies than they are about having lost the White House in 2008. They are primarily Republican Party hacks trying to overturn the election results, not representatives of a true grassroots revolt against liberal policies. If that were the case they would have been out demonstrating against the Medicare drug benefit, the Sarbanes-Oxley bill, and all the pork-barrel spending that Bush refused to veto."
