McCaskill Won't Describe Town Hall Protesters As "Nazis"
The first question chosen was submitted by Jodi Green, who asked if McCaskill agreed with Nancy Polosi that 'anyone speaking against the health care plan is a Nazi and un-American.' Green added that she believed that "the so called 'mob' that some individuals were being considered for speaking against a tyrannical administration is the absolute essence of American freedom."
McCaskill said, "I couldn't agree more and I think it is a huge mistake for anyone to suggest that people against the health care plan are manufactured. Both sides are organizing, but that is what we do in a democracy. I think it's great that people are coming out."
McCaskill disagreed with the description of the administration as 'tyrannical' and noted that she hoped by the end of the day questions would be answered over what will 'probably happen with the health care plan.'
