The anger at the town hall debates is turning very confrontational and even dangerous. At this town hall in Tampa there was a near riot.

Interesting to note, all the violence has come from Obama supporters, all the victims have been people protesting the Obama plan.

Hey Obama, this isn’t the streets of Chicago. This is the United States of America!

I am getting the same message. What up with that! Could be too many people trying to access it and the Google system is interpreting that as a DOS attack. Or they could simply be blocking.

The Dingle(berry) video is great - note that the “angry boos” don’t occur until after he starts making lame Party-line excuses. It’s not an intentional disruption to preclude him from speaking - it’s a gut-level reaction to the bull#hit he tries feeding his own constituents!

We need every town hall to be like this one, be respectful until they start up the sunshine pump, then let ‘em have it with both barrels!

Now, first, no one should encourage violence or physical confrontation.

No one, that is, except the president himself. HE is allowed to encourage his supporters to "get in their neighbors' faces".

This is a very foolish woman. If you are going to put your hand on a stranger, you better know what you are doing. Someone does that to my wife or children and they are on the floor. I don't care who they are.

I wish I had the time to find it but there is a photo available of an old-time Chicago “capping” by the Teamsters.

When an opposition voice is found in the crowd, the union thug takes off his hat and holds it in the air to “rally” other thugs. When a sufficient number are nearby, he then slams the hat down on the opposer’s head and face which is the signal for the mob to beat the snot out of him.

Be careful.

“Someone does that to my wife or children and they are on the floor.”

She didn’t wind up on the floor (kudoes to the gentleman) but I think she and her husband might end up in court...first criminal (assault & battery) and then civil.

“As soon as Democrats and their allies tried to paint these folks as “Astro Turfers”, (those organized and funded by powerful groups with an agenda) I knew the Democrats had comitted their final fatal error. The Democrats simply don’t understand who is at these meetings expressing their anger. Worse than that, they don’t really know who these people are. They are defining a force well beyond their understanding. As such,their definition will be totally off base. Soon enough, you will see these protests transform themselves and the Democrats will race to re define them again. “

Comments like this do not understand the intended audience for the spin. The intended audience is non-radical democrat congress critters. The rat leadership needs to get them to believe this is NOT a genuine movement. They could care less about the rest of the country or about the protesters. But they desperately want the blue-dogs not to believe what their eyes and ears are telling them.

Why fight? Just peacefully express your opinions. And if the other side resorts to thuggery, then beat the sh__ out of them.

Just like it was in the clinton years.
