Tampa, Florida - Angry protesters and strong supporters are clashing inside and all around a health care reform town hall meeting in Downtown Tampa. The meeting which was scheduled to begin at 6:00 at the Children's Board of Hillsborough County drew hundreds of people who quickly began to overwhelm staff and event organizers at the front entrance.

These old sobs that voted for their messiah actually voted for their own deaths. But they are still too stupid to realize it. Let them all go to hell and take obama with them.

Obama must be held accountable for any violence that results in serious injury or death. He is using language that suggests violent tactics, such as "Punch back twice as hard." It is unbelievably irresponsible for the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES to be inciting his minions to commit violence against his own countrymen.

Violence?

Were there REALLY sticks and stones?

Or only words that could never hurt them?

“I fear they keep this up. sooner or later someone is going to lose it on either side and it’s going to end up in a firefight.”

That’s EXACTLY what The Democrats were looking for tonite, A MARTYR....

Some stupid SEIU goon that they could hit the media woith for sympathy. Then Obama can claim the “Moral High ground”, as he breaks out the Goosesteppers to BREAK HEADS.

IT’S THE CHICAGO WAY!

In every way this jackass (odumbo) is the Anti-Lincoln and like Lincoln may soon be president over a civil war. One of his creation and this time this “president” will most definitely NOT be on the right side.

If he does that, he may as well declare martial law. There is no way he will do that, though.

Why should the Guard obey his orders? He has forsaken the Constitution!

I saw abosolutely no violence. just a bunch of rightly pissed off folks. the story these amateur politicians are using about insurance companies organizing protests shows just how desperate they are.

anyone know why they are having people wear the same shirt..it is an obvious sign to those looking on..

I guess one reason is so that those manning the door can recognize them. Somebody needs to infiltrate and get one of the shirts ;-)

This is the moment, the purpose of the movement, as Obammie the Commie said himself.

He issues his command and his volunteer brownshirts dutifully obey.

Obama is going to need a BIG, and I mean BIG crisis, sometime soon, to divert attention away from this.

A BANK SHUTDOWN, PERHAPS??
Or maybe an invasion of Honduras to “Restore Democracy”?

Then we need some of us that are strong and can physically deter these punks to show up! I can not tolerate thugs or bullies, never have.

Muscle and skill I've got (been in the ring a few times), just need a time and place.

We just have to be smarter than they are. Think about 3 steps ahead and envision the potential images of these confrontations. What will be seen by the public? Dogs after grandmas, hoses on homeschoolers? We need to be resolute, innocent, and willing to go to jail for our right to peacefully protest.

I’m not a radical, just a patriotic (and I thought mainstream, normal) mom who wants my children and future grandchildren to enjoy a free country the way I have and my ancestors have. I don’t think that’s asking too much and it p___es me off that I’m portrayed as a dangerous extremist for wanting a better future.

I’m tired of others defining me, but I refuse to fight dirty. I absolutely will not stoop to their level.

God gave me this scripture this am, and it brought me great comfort. Proverbs 17:20 — “A man of perverse heart does not prosper; he whose tongue is deceitful falls into trouble.” I know God is faithful and that I must behave in a Godly manner and count on Him to do the rest. After all, He truly has the power and the glory. I’d be a fool not to trust.

Thanks for the fascinating story! I had never heard of that before. It’s very inspiring. There are definitely times I think we could use some leadership from the junior officers who have recently returned from the battlefield.

DO YOU ALL REMEMBER THIS?????:

“Those who gathered at Kelly Ingram Park in downtown Birmingham were urged to enlist others who share Obama’s vision and to stay away from trying to convert naysayers.

“We’re looking for supporters,” said DeHaven of Hoover, one of the event’s organizers. “We’re not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army.”

The first shot is yet to be fired, but this could be the start of our second civil war.
