As national media outlets and their employees depict town hall meeting protesters as right-wing outsiders organized by conservative organizations, the Atlanta affiliate of NBC aired a segment Friday evening that should act as a fine example of how this uprising in America should be covered.
11 Alive reporter Duffie Dixon not only showed a heated exchange between Rep. David Scott (D-13th District) and a man asking him about his position on pending healthcare legislation in the House, but also interviewed the questioner when Scott erroneously contended the man was not a constituent and was only trying to hijack his meeting.
As Dixon shared with her viewers, not only wasn't the questioner an organized outsider, he was actually a local doctor (video embedded below the fold, h/t Hot Air via Terri Green):

they keep saying a mere “man” was being yelled at by Rep. Scott.
That man was a Doctor in Rep. Scott’s district. They should both be addressed by their title.
Oops. Caught that they did say he was a doctor.
It is clear that letters and faxes and phone calls to DC and to District Offices are pretty much “old school” and are not working and a lot of these Congressman are going to vote for Socialized Medicine even if 70% of their constituents are angry and opposed. This TOWN HALL approach seems to be the best for now. Of course, they will then move to stop those, and we will have to find some other way to smoke out and corner these sniveling, fleeing rats. They can run but they cannot hide. LOL>
The Political Class believes they are the aristocracy in the new American caste system.
break out the tar and feathers for this Congressional POS...
Turns out that the congressman was wrong on both charges he screamed out.
And that doctor rocks.
This guy is dumb as rocks with a attitude.
If not mistaken, Scott is the brother-in-law of the Hammer, Henry Aaron.
How did THIS get past the national headquarters of NBC?? Here’s a reporter who could wind up fired. Everyone at NBC knows you don’t report anything embarrassing to democrats!
Take note of how theses RATS are behaveing and don’t vote for another RAT for at least 5 yrs., no matter what they tell you they stand for. Some will die off etc.
What an arrogant #@@hole. He points that finger at me and I break it off and shove it up other locales on his person.

We need to keep pushing their buttons until they completely lose their minds. They are in the midst of a major power implosion. They thought every socialist plan they had would just slip through in an unstoppable juggernaut. Reality is hitting them hard these days.
