I thought he was great, but most of the comments are negative.
The one by flutterbychaos is: “He sounds like a Freeper”.
A lot of people here at Free Republic thought he was a plant by the Democrats but after watching the video its clear he isn’t.
The guy has a point and lot of guts.
I’ll bet this is all over the news tomorrow, Jay Leno, Kimmel, etc.
They’ll edit it and show where he shoved the camera a couple times. That will be what will be shown.
Leno and Kimmel don’t miss an opportunity to portray McCain as 100 years old.
I watched the whole video. It didn’t come off too well. It will only help Obamessiah I think.
I agree he had a lot of guts. I expected him to be attacked at any moment, frankly.

Photographer in green shirt for President!
I downloaded the video just in case it suddenly disappears off of youtube.
Looks like the Dummies got to the video before we did. Make sure you post a thumbs down to all the negative comments.
Someone that wants a presidential candidate to recite the plege is a “whacko, douchebag, nutjob” in their twisted upside down world.
Man, what guts. We gotta find out who this man is. Talk about into the mouth of the beast.....
Reporter/Obama lover: "Do you think it's appropriate to interrupt a presidential candidate?"
It is dingbat if it's the only way to get a question across to the candidate at a "town hall" meeting.
I think this guy is genuine unlike previous speculation. Those press asswipes are something else. “Is is appropriate to interrupt a Presidential event?” Moron, your messiah ain’t President yet and he’s not going to be.
How dare a member of the press insist on the saying of the Pledge of Allegiance at a Town Hall Meeting.
This guy got more questions from the press than Obama ever did.
The hostile interrogation of this patriot was disturbing to say the least.
We have much to fear from the left.
Righteous man this green shirted guy is on point with the faux Townhall BO brownshirts are doing more to turn off Americans than Michele Obama...NOBAMA!
Sad. The traveling Obama press wanted to know who and why that guy was there, trying to discount him at every turn. Even said, “Don’t you think it’s inappropriate to interrupt a Presidential...” etc.
The guy had a point. You start a Town Hall with the Pledge of Allegiance. I don’t think the Obamanation press liked getting recorded as unpatriotic.
Oh yes. I forgot to mention that he started his question with, “May I be heard from the floor, sir?” to the Obama. The Obamapress didn’t get that or wanted to ignore it.
I don’t think he was a this or a that party or a plant or anything. I think this guy’s an American.
It’s Hodges, from CSI: Las Vegas.
What impressed me most with the greenshirted man was his refusal to be intimidated by the brownshirted media in attendance.

“We usually start with an invocation and the pledge, I don’t know what happened this time...”
Is this remotely true?
“I don’t think he was a this or a that party or a plant or anything. I think this guy’s an American.”
Ditto
I had been to 3 of the NH President Bush events in 2004 and they all started with the Pledge.
Do Obama events start with an invocation and pledge? Obama thinks so.
This is a liitle history on the Pledge the Obama crowd and “The One” needs to hear.
McCain tells the story of the importance of the United States Pledge of Allegiance from a POW’s point of view.
McCain on the Pledge

I’m not sure posting his address here is a good idea. It’ll get around as it is, but this is a very public place.
The blog you referenced made a big deal out of the fact that the guy was REGISTERED as a Republican! How evil!
The episode points out, though, that an Obama Town Meeting is expected to be a one-way event with no input from us, unlike a real town meeting.
Or one of Hillary's 100% scripted events.
maybe this will break the logjam, and people will begin speaking out at his events? I'll ask what he meant by a civilian national security force as well equipped and funded as the military, to meet “domestic security needs”.

Even if he was honestly making a point, he shouldn't have done what he did. He should have given up his press pass and done this in the audience... not that I would be for that either. I'm just not a fan of heckling when someone is speaking.
This poor guy is going to be bombarded with moonbats for a long time.
We have to find ways to support him.
His challenging "The One" on the Pledge was very courageous.

He challenged the whole notion of these phoney “Town Meetings” of BO’s.
In a real town meeting, there is a moderator and things usually follow Robert's Rules of Order. Pretty much anyone can speak, and pretty much anyone can comment, and the moderator sorts out the order and whether or not a particular rant is within the topics.
Obama’s town meetings are smaller indoor versions of his canned rallies, and the Green Shirt Photographer challenged that by “bringing up new business” after asking for the floor (which he was granted).
