Gasp! 'Nearly All-White Audience' at Congressman Steve Cohen Town Hall! And They Were Packing Guns! Ahh! Lookout! "A Shooting Spree'

Here's the Memphis Commercial Appeal, on the demographics of Congressman Steve Cohen's town hall meeting on Saturday:

The nearly all-white audience was not a snapshot of the mostly African-American 9th District that Cohen represents.

And then from Oliver Willis, "Astroturf Town Hall Mob In Tennessee 9th (Man Removed With Weapon)" (after placing the above quotation in bold):

You don’t say. The district is Harold Ford Jr.’s old district. It has a 23% Democratic advantage. It is the only majority black district in Tennessee (59%), yet the meeting was stuffed with non-black conservatives.

It’s like the whole thing is a phony joke, or something.

Geez, it's almost like blacks own the district. And check the comments at Willis' post. The failure of black constituents to turn out for a health care town hall is automatically turned around by the leftists as "racist". Here's the local news report:

And one attendee, said to be armed, was apparently escorted out of the hall. And that's held up by the lefties as "evidence" of conservatives wanting to go on "a shooting spree."

Interesting note: Representative Cohen invited local physicians to the meeting, and by a ratio of 3 to 4, as mentioned at the article, the doctors interviewed had some degree of reservations about ObamaCare.

And Memeorandum.
