TPM Reader DR checks in from Kansas …
I am a Kansas constituent of Congressman Dennis Moore. I had signed up early to attend the health care town hall he had planned to hold at Cleveland Chiropractic College in Overland Park. I’m not sure whether it’s possible to feel both relieved and infuriated at the same time, but that’s what I’m feeling after reading that he has felt compelled to cancel the event. Readers need to remember that Dr. George Tiller was murdered recently not very far from here, with the murderer captured in this county. So threats aimed at Dennis Moore have to be considered deadly serious. I’m relieved not to be walking into a potential battle zone, but infuriated at the power of these crazies to short-circuit an important expression of the democratic process.
