All across the country, legislators coming to their home districts in attempt to sell the health care plan to constituents are being met with fierce opposition:
• Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., was confronted by self-described Democrats who accused their representative of lying about health reform and protested, “Why would you try to stuff a health care plan down our throats in a couple days when the president took six months to pick a dog for his kids?”
• In Mehlville, Mo., protesters lined up around the block of the Bernard Middle School gym where Rep. Russ Carnahan, D-Mo., had planned a public forum. When hundreds were left standing on the street, they remained outside into the evening. Eventually, a man reportedly assaulted one of the protesters, leading to six arrests, including a St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter.

• Rep. Tim Bishop, D-N.Y., has called off further events after a June 22 event he held in Setauket, N.Y., in which protesters dominated the meeting by shouting criticisms at the congressman for his positions on energy policy, health care and the bailout of the auto industry.

• Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., got an earful, too – especially on the health-care issue.

• Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., heard from a very well-informed veteran – to the enthusiastic applause of those gathered.

• Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., also heard from the crowd when he made a gaffe by saying the work needs to be done “fast.”

• U.S. Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., tried to explain at a town hall that people “don’t know” how much they’re already paying to cover the uninsured, but his reasoning was drowned out by protesters.

• House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., visited a Denver, Colo., clinic for the homeless to raise support for Obama’s health care plan, only to be met by streets lined with protesters opposed to the measure.

• Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-TX, went out to meet constituents, only to be met with protesters shouting in opposition to the health care bill, “Just say no!”

• At a health care town hall event in Syracuse, N.Y., in July, police were called in to restore order, and at least one heckler was taken away by local police.

• Close to 100 sign-carrying protesters greeted Rep. Allen Boyd, D-Fla., at a late June community college small-business development forum in Panama City, Fla.

• Danville, Va., anti-tax tea party activists claimed they were “refused an opportunity” to ask Rep. Thomas Perriello, D-Va., a question at a town hall event and instructed by a plainclothes police officer to leave the property after they attempted to hold up protest signs.

• Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., was chased by a crowd saying the Pledge of Allegiance.

• The constituents of Rep. John Tanner, D-Tenn., unable to access their representative through a town hall meeting, created a video charging that Tanner has met with Michael Moore and Fidel Castro, “But he won’t meet his constituents in the 8th District to talk about health care.”
The biggest source of protests are the health-care bill, the $787 billion economic stimulus package and the cap-and-trade legislation. They’re also angry about Barack Obama’s refusal to release his birth certificate to prove he is a “natural born citizen” and constitutionally eligible to serve in the White House.

This moonbat needs a history lesson. She is beaming while her shirt compares 2 republicans with a Marxist.

This is Laura Avant. She has a degree in social working science, is a substitute teacher, and has been unemployed for seven years. She is taking names for a petition and when I asked her how she found out about the event she said “My organizer called me.” I said “You’re kidding.” She said, “No, look: he’s right there (-pointing to the guy with the bullhorn–) he’s from Organizing for America.”

------------------

So, these people are at this location because of a direct call from the President of United States!

You can take one look at the signs and it is immediately apparent that the signs of the right are all home made and the signs of the left are printed up and distributed by the DNC or one of their puppet organizations. Conclusion: the lefties are all paid. Just like back when we were protesting the income tax in Tennessee, the “pro-income tax” people would all arrive at 9 a.m. and leave at 4 p.m. when their shift was over.

That was great! I also sent a “fishy” email signing up flag@whitehouse.gov to receive info from www.healthcareforamericanow.com (the website on the lefties signs), and encourage everyone else to do likewise.

The day laborers were just part of a group of illegals who came to the meeting to thank her for free health care.

I'm thinking of going down to the corner and pick some up to go the next dem town hall, so they can thank the congress member in person.

Excellent chronology of Soviet-style protest tactics, organized by the Democratic Party and paid for by all of us. Bookmarked and pinged.

I went to the link and read the post (took two tries to get through). It was a great article!

The “rubber chicken” lady trying to muffle the bullhorn gave me an idea- Someone should take along a bullhorn to these protests (I looked, and they are available for a very reasonable price on Ebay), along with a box of foam earplugs (which are available everywhere). Simply hand out earplugs to everyone, and then, when an “organizer” shows up with a bullhorn, stand directly in front of him and debate him at top volume!

I live deep in the heart of Texas, so I’m not likely to have the chance to use this idea (we had *one* counter protester at our tea party in April), but if somone would like to try it, I will be glad to buy a bullhorn and have it shipped to you (limit of one- I’m poor :)
