Congressman Brian Baird, a Democrat from Vancouver, Washington, told the Columbian, a newspaper serving Clark County: “What we’re seeing right now is close to Brown Shirt tactics. . . . I mean that very seriously.” On Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show, Baird went even further by claiming that town hall rhetoric was “eerily reminiscent of the kind of things that led Timothy McVeigh to bomb the federal building in Oklahoma.” Congressman Baird should take a gander at this exchange between one of his fellow Democrat colleagues and a medical doctor who lives in Rep. David Scott’s district in Georgia and tell us who the brownshirt is. (This report is the way journalism should be done. Bravo to “11 Alive News” in Atlanta.) Nancy Pelosi stepped in it, although the media are ignoring it, when she claimed that attendees were “carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare.”
