Sibelius, Obama's Secretary of Health got an earful too!

Benedict Arlen Specter (DEMOCRAT-PA) got an earful when he held a Town Hall meeting on health care at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia over the weekend.

Andrew Monaghan who blogs at Panzramic, showed up to document the ACORN/union thugs who were bused in along with exploited handicapped people to help make the case for Obama care. Andrew also found a very raucous crowd of citizens who are mad as hell at the socialist circus in Washington and are not going to take it any more.

So many voters angry at Obama's socialist makeover showed up that the organizers had to bring in some heavy duty security. Andrew has a collection of videos where citizens asked some very direct questions of Specter and Sibelius. The crowd's reaction was priceless. Here's a sample:

When you get that kind of reception in the "City of Brotherly Love" you know you are in trouble!

i was forced on it out of my retirement health ins which i was completely happy with...now they only cover me as secondary...but they only pay what medicare covers not what they once covered...many of my health issues are not covered by medicare...so now my secondary retirement health won’t cover it any more. before i qualified for HSA for my expenses and now i can’t even do that any more...i am really getting screwed and my health care cost are now much higher...just when i needed the cover...this is all BS...and i had no viable options and didn’t know that until i came of age.

We’re mad as hell, and we are NOT going to take it any more...in the words of the 92 “HEROs” aboard United Fight 93 that crashed in PA on 9/11...”LETS ROLL”

Senator Arlen Specter or any of the other promoters of this “health plan” in Congress (or the White House)should demonstrate their willingness to be covered only by this pseudo-insurance by publicly canceling all their other health insurance....

Just like they should had to enjoy the benefits of only VA Hospitals without any other health insurance privileges, but they consider themselves to better then the rest of us.

Perhaps, the time has come TTBO (Throw the Bums Out) and elect real people.

Thanks for the link. These are EXTREMELY high-quality videos. I can't hear what's being said because my hearing is quite poor, but I get the jist of what's going on, and I can hear the "Silent No More" chant. These folks are incredible patriots. Prayers are with all of them.

I expect we will be seeing much more in the way of thuggery.

Perhaps bulletproof shields that the "representatives of the people" will be behind while speaking.

Senator Rectum tries to explain how they read a bill. The proper response would have been “Did you read the stimulus bill before you voted for it, comrade?”
