Aaaaaand here we go.
Mark Schlueb's report from the scene adds a bit to the report from ThinkProgress.
Others in the crowd began yelling at Webster's critics to quiet down, at one point with the chant "Let him talk!" But the meeting frequently devolved into multiple arguments — some of them heated — between members of audience.
When one man who said he was a veteran yelled that he wanted to know why Webster was cutting Medicare and veterans' benefits, his answer came from the audience instead.
"We can't afford it, you moron!" a red-faced man screamed.
The yelling is coming from both sides, then; this isn't as one-sided as the 2009 town halls. But Democrats are figuring out where to go to make noise.
