Compare and Contrast:
Sharp’s schtick can be seen fairly well in this video from the Carnahan Town Hall:
Sharp is the tool yelling and using a handheld camera to record the reaction to his yelling, others walking through the circle of pro-health care reform circle and the crazy purple woman waving papers and screaming in people’s faces. He’s basically trying to get video of someone being mean to the crazy purple lady and then use that as evidence of…something. The people walking through the pro-health care reform circle were jostled several times, but no one fell the the need to try and get disturbing the peace charges against them–they were largely ignored other than one case where the crazy purple woman got into a hand slapping battle with a crazy pro-health care woman who had been asked to leave already.
I’m not sure if I have a clear recording where the tea party participants jostled the pro-health care reform crowd, but I’ll stick it up if I do. It was immature and silly, but hardly disturbing the peace.
Good catch!
