Following a heated conversation with a ~~constituent~~ "well-dressed syndicate" that made national news last week, Michigan Congressman John Dingell (D) appeared in a TV interview this week comparing the ongoing nationwide town hall protests to the 1960s opposition to the Civil Rights Act by the Ku Klux Klan.

Also, note how the poll at the bottom of the screen begs the question: Can President Obama overcome right-wing lies about health care reform? Wow. What kind of moronic news agency would run a question like... oh, wait. This was on MSNBC. Nevermind.
