“Maybe I’ve got seven or eight more years. To me all life is precious no matter what age,”

I doubt the Central Planners share this view.

"The nearly all-white audience was not a snapshot of the mostly African-American 9th District that Cohen represents. One of those who came from outside the district was Mark Mullis, 67..."

"NIGHT RIDERS AND OUTSIDE AGITATORS!" Just can't stop playing the race card, eh? Got nothing else? I think that move has worn a bit thin.

Cohen was prepared.

"This is America, this is Memphis, Tennessee. Take two aspirin and come back in the morning," he yelled over out over the room.

I see he got his talking points from "just take a painkiller for your heart problems" Obama.

Most people in the crowd of close to 500 were in loud opposition, although Cohen supporters held their own, waving signs that read "Health Care Now."

Yes, on one side of the aisle were the taxpayers of this country; on the other side were the union thugs, freeloaders, and recipients of the government largesse, who only want more and more.

Unfortunately for us all, the taxpayers are in the minority. They need to shut up and pay more taxes according to the Marxists. To each according to his needs, from each according to his ability.

Probably the same “grassroot” signs they picked up at the Florida meeting where they decided they couldnt use them.

Point of fact to all so called "Journalists"

All those arrested so far for violence at town halls are Obama supporters.

Cardiologist Dr. James Klemis believes that ethically the poor must be taken care of. But this bill is being rushed and is too similar to Canada's and Britain's socialized medicine, he said.

They are being taken care of under the current system. That is one of the biggest lies of the Democrat mantra on Health Care, that they would extend care to the uncared for.

Here is some video of Union thugs in action:

Despite the boos, jeers and general disorder Saturday, Cohen said that after 33 years in public service he wasn't rattled.

Yet another reason why term limits should be the law of the land!

Oh and Stevie, you may not be rattled yet-but we're just getting started...

FactCheck (mentioned in the article) is not non partisan. It is Leftwing, like Snopes but with, perhaps, a greater bias since it gets the monies from the same foundation that funded B. Hussein Obama and William Ayers when they worked together.

Their confirmation of O'Bolshevik's deskjet printed COLB is also fishy since the COLB as given to KOS and on their hilariously named "fight the smears" website is a horrible fogery: Obama's COLB is still a horrible fogery. Change you can believe in

Reading the comments section at the Comical Appeal web site, someone said there were 10 doctors there that spoke, 8 of which were strongly against Obamacare, and 2 that were only skeptical.

Does anyone really think that any one of these Democrats is going to pay the slightest attention to any opposition to this bill? The Democrats are for big government, first, last, and always.

This protest movement is only partly about healthcare.

IMO a lot of the energy and fear and anger are due to the idea that Obama and his supporters are simply taking control of America...whether the voters like it or not.

Healthcare is one of the first fronts, but if Obama succeeds here, the march to complete control continues with even greater force.

Once Obama controls your personal healthcare, he will dare you to protest or disagree. If he will threaten Jon Kyl as blatantly as he did (with letters to AZ Gov. Jan Brewer from Transportation Sec. Ray LaHood, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, HUD Sec. Shaun Donovan, and Interior Sec. Ken Salazar threatening the withholding of stimulus moneys), one can only imagine how he might intimidate regular citizens.

We must win on healthcare!

“I expected it to be a lot worse,” Cohen said.”
Hold another one then!

As the GA town hall meeting shows (where the Dem congressman accused a constituent who was also a doctor of being bused in from outside), these Dems have brainwashed themselves into thinking these aren’t their constituents, but rather people bused in from other areas.

They’ll go back to Washington and vote it in. Only Nov. 2010 will they realize they were their constituents.

The frustration stems from the fact that the Obama regime has already decided prior to any discussion what they want and what they are going to do.The town halls are only meant on their part to demonstrate to the serfs that this is what is going to happen.
Well sorry,but this is not Hugo Cavez Land yet....
This is America and WE the PEOPLE decide what we want.
In a short 7 months Obama has presented himslef not as a leader but as a dictator.
Not going to work.

Townhall Meetings turn ugly after President Joker releases his SEIU union thugs on the crowds.

Not one incident of violence before the SEIU thugs showed up.

This is why I hope King Willie wins this seat. I don’t think he will be a Pelosi stooge.

I notice “fact check” puts forth a straw dog argument so it can shoot it down. There doesn’t have to be some explixit euthansia clause in the bill. Withholding care or putting it on indefinite hold will do the job just as well as formalized euthanasia. People will die on waiting lists of things that could have been prevented and their gov can still technically claim they aren’t being “officially” euthanized. They’re just the collateral damage from being denied access to a free market in health care.
