Nicole Sandler was arrested at Representative Allen West’s town hall meeting for asking how privatizing Medicare would keep costs down. The “charge” is trespassing. She said when she was in jail she put into solitary confinement and maced. I hope the ACLU gets involved in this case. I hope Nicole’s radio show gains a large following as a result and most of all, I hope voters send Allen West back to his home planet.

now really…why would any commenter bother
nominating a ‘truthdigger of the week’ after your
choice last week? some people with too much
disposable income had their consciences pricked by
the abusive treatment of bradley manning and chose to
register their discomfort by contributing money to
the campaign of the commander-in-chief and letting
him know that they would still vote for him!! TD then
elevated such flaccid liberalism to the status
of ‘speaking truth to power’. don’t you realize how
much mockery you leave yourself open to when you make
such a choice? and don’t you realize that liberalism
loses its credibility when it fails to take a needed stand?
