Don't get me wrong, the First Amendment protects the theoretical right of these thoughtless drooling fools to do what they are doing at the town halls (except for the ones where they start pushing and shoving --- or worse).

But it is disturbing to me, and should be to you, that their solution/reaction to meetings where Congresspeople can sit down with their constituents and talk about health care is to completely drown it out. They whine if people try to drown out their efforts to drown out others.

Whenever Democratic activists engage in this kind of tactic, I think they look like they are afraid for the truth to come out and that they battle the exchange of ideas by preventing the discussion in the first place.

It's almost as bad as ourhead economic idiot telling a crowd that he doesn't want to hear anything from anyone but liberal democrats. The difference being, the idiot is in charge.

I agree that he should have an open mind and that he should welcome alternative points of view presented in a constructive manner.

What do you think of the recent organized disruption of the town hall meetings?

Yeah, Obama is saying they are all "organized". That’s bullcrap, but even if true, He's a HYPOCRITE for making that statement. Has he forgotten he got his start in politics as a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER? Now that the shoe is on the other foot, it's not so comfortable for Mr. Barry Sotero.

You equate a mob showing up at a townhall meeting and yelling and screaming so that no one has a chance to speak to "community organizer"?

Wow.

Nope. Two different comments. One was on answering you question on right wingers being organized and the other giving input of what occured in my area. And you are a lawyer?

Btw, I don’t necessarily agree with the actions of the crowd. However, leaders must understand their vote will more than likely will decide if they find another job in the next couple of years. Little Rock votes primarily democratic and the majority of the people in that room where democrats. I have a close friend, who is a leader for the local democratic party, and was at that meeting......he was surprised at the actions of the crowd.

Let's just be glad ObamaFool and Co. are too stupid to realize it's not just Republicans.

It almost certainly guarantees this incompetent administration is a one term deal. It also means he's a lame duck after 2010.

No one should intimdate anyone else from being heard at something like a townhall meeting type of forum.

Including the protestors themselves.

The majority of the people in the room may be Democrats, but the mob shouting is instigated purely by Republicans or ultra conservatives who would never vote for a Democrat.

It is entirely Republicans and extreme conservatives. You might find one or two Democrat look-at-me types. But this is a Republican organized shout down, pure and simple.

The party of the whiny, emotional and silly protest calling out those at a town hall meeting is some beautiful irony.

LG, I have every right, afforded to me by the Constitution, to oppose anything that I dont like about the Government. That is why the Constitution allows for a "well armed militia" so the peoples rights cannot be infringed by the government. If you dont like the fact I dont have to be a government drone, then you can kiss my a**.

A little tidbit of what happened in Little Rock the other night....

Ark. crowd mocks lawmakers over Obama health plan
Click to expand...

"I'm a huge Obama fan," college student Jacob Kauffman told the crowd, which responded with a smattering of applause and a few chants of "Get a job."
Kauffman continued, "I was at mad at (Ross and Snyder) for not standing up for stronger health care reform. But after seeing this crowd tonight, I'm pleased with seeing what you have done. I've rather have you two overlook my health care plan than any private insurance bureaucrat any day."

This is what keeps me awake at night. The generation behind me is going to be completely on board the Marxist bandwagon...

What do you expect when the majority of those at these town hall meetings are being whiny, emotional, and silly. Generally speaking, intelligence and maturity aren't exactly cherished attributes with political discourse.

Ras, the kid is clueless. He's never had a job. He's never dealt with a government bureaucrat.

The "huge Obama fan" statement, is an immediate clue that he's a moron.

Rights should be exercised responsibly, is all I'm saying.

In this case, people opposed to the plan should be heard. But that does not mean that they should simply drown out opposing points of view, IMOm

I imagine these people feel they need to escalate things in response to the infomercials and the televised "discussions" that don't allow questions Obama doesn't want to answer.

"Mark your calendar - This Sunday (August 9th) on Fox, Sean Hannity, of Hannity & Colmes ~ Fox news, is going to air a very important documentary about Barack Obama, Sunday night at 8:00 PM central / 9 PM eastern. He stated on the air this evening that no one in the news media was willing to do this. Hannity is going back to Obama's earlier days, showing even then his ties to radical professors, friends, spiritual advisers, etc., he stated this evening that he will show in detail his ties to Rev. Wright for 20+ yrs. How he was participating with this man, and not for the reasons he states! He has uncovered more of Obama's radical leaders and we will see things that no one in the media is willing to put out there. This will be a night that you will learn more about Obama than ever before Hannity is very passionate about this program and asked that everyone please, please watch~~

Sunday night, 8 PM. CT; 9 PM ET
