WISH-TV: Indiana Congressman Baron Hill is on the hot seat in the health care reform debate after making controversial comments about town hall protesters.

"They have only one purpose in mind and that's to blow up the meetings that are being held and that serves no one, ladies and gentlemen," said Hill.

Hill recently called them political terrorists, a term he avoided in his speech but not in a 24-Hour News 8 interview.

"If you just want to blow up a meeting that's a political terrorist," said Hill.

We need to expunge about 300 Liberals and RINO’s from Congress and one Kenyan from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

I hope Hill has a strong challenger next year. This a perfect example of a conservative congressional district which should be in conservative hands.

Top 10 List of names people against Nationalized Health Care have been called by top ranking Democrats....

1. Swastika-carrying
2. Astroturf
3. Brown-shirts
4. Nazi
5. Angry mobs
6. Terrorists
7. UnAmerican/Unpatriotic
8. Racists
9. Fishy
10. Birthers

Just a few off the top of my head. I am sure there are lots more....seems like Democrats don't have nice things to say about the 52% of people who oppose their agenda. Can you really call most of America all these names and expect to win an election????

Isn't anyone concerned?"

A term that has no doubt been sanctioned by the U.S. House War Room on the American People.

I thought the word “terrorist” was not to be used anymore by this administration and the Media. We must now call these patriot town hall meeting citizens, “freedom fighters” (like the media does Al Qaeda)

The Kenyan is now giving out the US medal of freedom award. From what I see the name should be changed to the “ HERO of the USSA” award.

Speaking of HCAN...I found this a couple of days ago...

George Soros Pledges $5 Million To Bankroll Health Care Reform Push, Group Says

In another sign of the urgency gripping the pro-health care reform camp, billionaire George Soros has pledged to sink $5 million into the fight, the group getting the money confirmed.

Soros — whose operation carefully guards the privacy of such donations — made the pledge to Health Care For America Now, the leading coalition of pro-reform groups, unions and providers, HCAN chief Richard Kirsch confirmed in an email that was forwarded to me.

Perhaps we should be laughing at them.

Alinsky RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
