How effing fair is it to take over a DISUSSION and NOT LET ANYONE SPEAK OR RESPOND OR DISCUSS ANYTHING LIKE ADULTS!
When the ones who are speaking dodge the questions or put forth obama's lies - they should be heckled.

Maybe if the drooling repubs could act like intelligent adults they'd be welcomed.....why should decent people have to put up with screaming mobs?????


We agree! The repub mobs are showing TYPICAL disgusting behaviour!!!
Right, so only Democrats in favor of healthcare should attend these town halls ? The rest of America should stay home ?

I thought all the democratic polls had like 90% of Americans in favor of UHC ? Guess those polls must have been a bit off.

Wrong.

Beck tells everyone to make your voice heard but do it in a peaceful manner.

People should be mad, they are getting scammed and do not like it.

These people are real Americans, those on the opposite side meaning the left wing nutjobs are the real Nazi's.

Nice try but your leader Pelosi is a scumbag moron and you are following her lead.

The left is worried about these people or why would they be so into what they are doing.

You are not used to people speaking up when they get screwed, thanks to Obama we are finally seeing people speak their minds and exercise their freedom of speech.

Many of the hundreds of protesters said that they had been inspired by Fox News host Glenn Beck and a conservative activist group, according to the St. Petersburg Times:


Tampa Town Hall On Health Care Reform Disrupted By Violence


Who would've thought?
I've been saying for weeks now that violence is next.

You wait and see, somebody is going to get hurt or killed soon. This is just the beginning of the domestic terror threat whipped up by the fringe right. I hold them (and their cheerleaders here) solely responsible for this.

It's very sad that the new debate is violence and denying free speech through sheer volume.

Everyone who condones such behavior should be ashamed.

Yes, the left wants those people to NOT SPEAK OUT.

Pelosi is now saying 75% of Americans are in favor of this health care bill.

She must be making it up because the entire country is mad as hell and they DO NOT WANT THIS HEALTH CARE.


The left is resorting back to the Clinton style of politics of fear mongering and hate if you disagree with them.

Yeah, these are real spontaneous and unrehearsed:

Colorado lawmakers brace for health care fight that moves to their home districts - The Denver Post

"The National Republican Congressional Committee sent talking points to candidates describing Democrats' health reform as "a massive government takeover that will drive up costs, kill 5 million American jobs, and could force millions of Americans from their current health care coverage."

Polis' staff has been fielding angry calls all week, many of them based on mass e-mails or descriptions flying around the blogs.
