Low class on both sides of the aisle

First you have Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney claiming racial bias when she's stopped by a Capitol police officer -- whom she subsequently hit -- and apologizing only when the case is referred for possible criminal prosecution.

Then you have DeLay supporters shouting down Nick Lampson, the Democratic candidate for his seat.

Were these people raised by wolves?

Update: Let's add Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., to the list. He decided to make a political issue out of where his opponent is having his daughter's cancer treated.

Agreed, all these people need to get their heads checked. But what those DeLay supporters did was outrageous; denying freedom of speech to a citizen is even worse than supporting an ethically bankrupt politician.

Especially when it's organized by the DeLay campaign. It's one thing for individual supporters to do it; there are goons in every crowd. But this was just across the line.
