LOL—I was just telling a co-worker in the hallway about the Specter townhall and this thread, and another co-worker walked by and asked “Is this an angry mob meeting or something?”

There’s also this, which looks to be excerpts from the event (and well-chosen excerpts they are, Specter gets an earful from everyday Americans).

When we look back. Specter's first town hall meeting where he said he couldn't read a 1,000 page bill may have been Obamacare’s (and maybe Obama’s too) Waterloo.

Thank goodness he's a democrat now.

This exchange between Soros and Steve Kroft happened on “60 Minutes”:

Kroft: “And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.”
Soros: “Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that’s when my character was made.”

Kroft: “In what way?”
Soros: “That one should think ahead. One should understand that—and anticipate events and when, when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a—a very personal threat of evil.”

Kroft: “My understanding is that you went … went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.”
Soros: “Yes, that’s right. Yes.”

KROFT: I mean, that’s–that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?

Mr. SOROS: Not–not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don’t–you don’t see the connection. But it was–it created no–no problem at all.

KROFT: No feeling of guilt?

Mr. SOROS: No.

Send them to this editorial found in that notorious far right paper known as the Washington Post:

This animal, Madoff and Chuck Manson should be put in the same steel cage with some mid-evil weaponry. Let’s see what happens next.

George W. Bush supported Specter over Toomey. It’s as much W’s fault as it is the voters’ fault.

Does anyone know where we can get those MOB tee-shirts?

Better not wear one at a town hall or obama will have you hanged for being a spy.

You're supposed to wear pressed khakis, penny loafers and $90 golf shirts.

” George W. Bush supported Specter over Toomey. It’s as much W’s fault as it is the voters’ fault. “

Only if you believe that we voters are only fit to do as we are told by our ‘betters’.....

As far as I know, GWB wasn’t even registered to vote in PA....

Personally, I believe that this is just what Obama wants. He wants to declare martial law and blame it on the Republicans. I think our republic is much more danger than we have any idea.

Imho, I think some of members of the audience would do a better job in DC than Specter

Go down to your local bar and find the town drunk. He'd do a better job than Sphincter.

I liked the teacher who said bills should be readable by junior high students.

The comic books I read in the 50s were above the heads of today's junior high school yutes.

I agree. I think that he probably sees this as his only opportunity to maybe win re-election. But I have to give it to him that he’s out facing his angry constituents. Many of his colleagues are not. Those who don’t should absolutely not ever win elected office again. Not even for dog catcher.

The only solace is that this fool Soros is getting up in years. When I hear him mentioned, I reply, “Is this guy still alive. What is he, about 110 by now?” But when he exits the scene as the puppeteer, unfortunately someone else will arise and take his place.

Has anyone asked him about his vote in favor of the failed stimulus bill after being bought off and why we should trust him after making such a vote?
