"More ominously, a man standing just beyond the TV cameras apparently suffered a heart attack 20 minutes after event began. Medical personnel from the Capitol physician’s office — an entity that could, quite accurately, be labeled government-run health care — rushed over, attaching electrodes to his chest and giving him oxygen and an IV drip. This turned into an unwanted visual for the speakers, as a D.C. ambulance and firetruck, lights flashing, pulled in just behind the lawmakers. A path was made through the media section, and the patient, attended to by about 10 government medical personnel, was being wheeled away on a stretcher just as House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) stepped to the microphone. “Join us in defeating Pelosi care!” he exhorted. A few members stole a glance at the stretcher."

Wonder if that protester who had the heart attack will recognize the irony? Seriously, I hope he's okay, but I also hope this incident raises his awareness - at least a tad.

Us liberals are such bleeding hearts. If we would have had the balls Boehner and Bachmann have, we would have made an example of the man with a heart attack, a martyr of sorts /sarcasm
