LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - An unruly Little Rock crowd heckled and shouted at two Arkansas Democratic congressmen Wednesday, accusing them of supporting a government-backed health plan that would take away Americans' personal choice and freedom.
At one point, U.S. Rep. Mike Ross sat with his head in his hands while the crowd shouted. He and fellow Democratic Rep. Vic Snyder told audience members at a forum at Arkansas Children's Hospital that they wouldn't support a completely government-run, single-payer health insurance plan.
"But that's what Obama wants!" an audience member shouted, leading to more heckling.
Ross, who represents south Arkansas, sits on the Energy and Commerce Committee and has led his fellow Blue Dog Democrats in delaying a vote on the health care overhaul until at least September. Ross is chairman of the Blue Dogs' health care task force.

The shadowy crowd is the people waiting in line for routine procedures behind the "wise Latina women" and other government workers who get preferential treatment.
Cheers!

“The democrats are so arrogant they think that a person needs to be paid to not like them.”
Haha! “Arrogant” is putting it nicely, more like completely and certifiably insane.
They are going to their same old tired tactics only this time nobody (that matters) is buying it.

They become arrogant because the news media praise their name on the front page every day. If you tow the party line you get nothing but praise. Pravda has nothing on today's news media in the USA. The Democrat party calls these protesting Americans right wing radicals just like the USA news media does. Today's news media is the right arm of the Democrat Party. One can't survive without the other because they are one in the same.
