<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial">Afterall, Dan wrote on the viz that he thought it was funny when Councilman Ament said "Now I'm going to squash your rights" to me during my testimony regarding the noise ordinance after a somewhat confrontational response to my comments.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial">So Dan will laugh at childish comments during an official meeting from an elected official to a constituent, but the term tea bagger is more offensive and deserves criticism.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial">Yes, I took it personally at the time and did not think it was funny. </p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial">I wonder why the hypocrisy. Perhaps Dan is a tea bagger and feels offended as well. I suppose we should all be more sensitive to others feelings.</p>
