Obamacare Activist Spits On Red County Editor
Red County ^ | 08/19/09 | 07:04 PM EDT | By Everett Wilkinson

Posted on 08/19/2009 5:40:10 PM PDT by Texas Fossil

Last night I attended the Rooney town hall. As I walked into the building, someone on the sidewalk shouted "we need health care now." He was handing out Obamacare material. There was also a group with a professional video camera filming people's reactions to this.

Unfortunately, I had shown up a little late and literally couldn't make it inside. Over 300 people had lined up two hours early for the forum.

I then walked out to the front of the building where I saw the same group of people arguing with a guy. One young guy in a camouflage shirt with a thick British accent, aka Obamacare activist, kept pressing forward and shoving the older gentleman.

KEYWORDS: activist; arrested; obamacare
"The Obama activist then became upset that we were not fighting with him - came up from behind me, spit on me and took off running. While being pursued by the sheriff deputies, the activist keyed a car. He was arrested shortly after that.

I should point that I was not wearing anything that was tea party related. The Obamacare activist group, whom later identified themselves as a group promoting single payer and ACORN, did not know me before the event. They wanted to find someone to fight with and to catch it on camera. "

this is very similar to what I encountered in Austin at the Doggett meeting early in August except they had not yet organized into the 5 member team. They just wanted to fight with me and kept baiting me. I laughed at them and kept on walking with my sign.

Since that time, the organization of ACORN and SEIU thugs as increased and continues to be aggressive and confrontational. After all, obamanation said a month ago: “get in their faces... argue with them”.... what a total stinky weasel

I would LOVE to know the ‘legal resident status’ of the ‘Brit’. He’s probably here on a J-1 Visa through a Fulbright Exchange. Kick him out!

I finally see and understand now. If you’re in the Obama camp you’re an activist - Conservative, you’re part of a hateful mob ...

They cannot defeat us by rational discussion, so they make emotional appeals and draw us into confrontations they can exploit in the media.

Unfortunately the MSM will not report what is happening.

They have however stepped in it, they took on Seniors. Many of them are well informed, well read, crusty and tough. The man who sleeps in the White House will loose this round.

My prayer is that the Dems will soon take such a shellacing that they will never recover. It could happen. They could be exposed for being the Commies they are.

Sounds like he got arrested, it would be interesting to know if he was charged. The information you mentioned would be on an arrest report.

They’re generating more hatred than during the Civil War, IMO. Zero, his thug Administration, and Congress have declared war on the American people and have a thug Army they’ve called into action against us.

Well, it could also be considered attempted murder. I mean...I’m sure people like that might have cooties or something. :)

So, why doesn’t the Limey just go back to the UK and get his free health care?

Important bit at the end of the post:

The plan for Obamacare activists (Moveon.org, DNC, HCAN, etc.) appear to be very simple:

Build a team of 5 people.
Have one with a video camera.
Another person shouting at people to start a fight.
The other team members clap and cheer on the “bait” - actual term they used.

Be ready for this folks!

The democrats are killing themselves by using liberal scum like acorn to attack the average citizen. They will suffer huge losses in the next election thanks to their rent a thug partners and the jackass in chief.

YouTubes and all quotes from the political thugs need to be used to get them thrown out of office.

Not sure about "during" the Civil War, but no where near as bad as after. My ancestors were literally "burned out" of AL during Reconstruction. The "Carpet Baggers" did not fair as well in Texas as they did AL. In AL some learned it was not a healthy occupation. There will be no "subjection" here. Will not happen.

They keep trying the same old tricks that have worked in the past. They don't seem to realize that cheap video cameras combined with the Internet now only makes them look even worse. (Then again if they were able to see the big picture they would not be lefties in the first place.)

I was the only one with a sign at Santa Cruz CA. Did not know about the “counter-insurgency” movement. Was surrounded by screamers about the cost of the war & “richest country in world,” blah, blah. They were filming. They put on You Tube I heard later at another Town Hall.

Yep, there are all over the web too.

On Twitter I call them the Obamabots. That is descriptive. I have started collecting the screen names they use. 14 in one day. Pure talking points nothing more, and I am convinced by the hours they operate that some of them are “off-shore”. One that purported to be in Houston, mentioned being of the computer “between 4AM and 2PM Texas time”.

I have begun to ask them how much they were getting paid per hour. They do not like that.

My screen name is TX— on Twitter and my Avitar is a Texas flag. Why would another person in Texas post stating “Texas Time”

More Axelrod “astroturf”.
