Republican Nazis heckle disabled woman in wheelchair (video)
http://www.nj.com/ledgerlive/index.ssf/2009/08/health_care_reform_town_hall_n.html

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/02/wheelchair-bound-woman-sh_n_275472.html

"More than 1,500 people showed up to talk health care, but things quickly turned ugly. Much like the unruly town hall meetings that have been going on across the country, the angry crowd held up bizarre and nonsensical posters of protest while hurling insults at Rep. Pallone, and each other.

A new low for these meetings may have been set when the crowd shouted down a wheelchair-bound woman with "two incurable auto-immune diseases" who had the gall to ask a question.

NJ.com has video (footage of the incident with the wheelchair-bound woman begins at 2:08)"

Note to repuke brownshirts: STFU! :grr: :banghead: :argh:
