TPM: Wisconsin Republicans are now running into a rough sight in the battle over Gov. Scott Walker's budget repair bill and its anti-public employee union provisions, a sight that might be familiar to Democrats from the 2009-2010 health care debates: Loud, raucous town halls. And when U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and state Sen. Leah Vukmir (R) ran into that ruckus last night in the Milwaukee suburb of Wauwatosa, Sensenbrenner declared the meeting over -- after 27 minutes.
It's wrong to compare this to the intimidation fests that targeted Dems in 2009. These are citizens making valid points on their own. What the Dems were subjected to was Koch Industry funded front groups sending people to shout down valid points. Totally different.
