When Senator Al Franken was confronted by an angry mob of teabagger/anti-healthcare-reform types, he calmly, rationally and intelligently talked them down, setting an example for how to conduct reasoned discourse that relies on facts and rationality rather than fear. There was no yelling, but instead civilized disagreement and discourse. THIS is how a town hall should go.  This is the proper way for civil discourse in this country.  Franken may be deemed a "comedian", but he came out very Senatorial here.
