This is belated, I know, but I spent quite a bit of time trying to find the quote in my collection of Molly Ivins. I finally gave up and resorted to Google. The following is attributed to Lowell Weicker, Connecticut Senator and Governor, and sums up a good chunk of "the way it spose to be", to me.

I've always been a big supporter of the Constitutional right of the people to peaceably assemble and petition government for redress of grievances. It's just that I never envisioned it taking the form of thousands of people screaming 'you asshole!' at me.

Well, as far as I can tell, it wasn't thousands, but yeah.
