If for no other reason, he should be retired for being a dumba$$. If you're a congressman on a stage in front of a mic, someone is going to film you!

Just to repeat the link. About 1:00 minute long, perfect for a commercial.

I hope the GOP takes these kind of clips and makes a collage of arrogant clips before the next election. Congress is totally out of touch with the voters and a massive housecleaning needs to take place in 2010.

The GOP posted it!

It’d really be effective if they took a bunch of arrogant clips like this one and put them all together for a very powerful ad.

I could see that too. They could announce at the start of the commercial that if you were the first caller to the GOP office with the right name of your local congressman, you’d win something cool. Maybe an advertising specialty like a thumb drive or an inexpensive iPod with GOP printed on it.

This district goes back and forth between Dem- Rep, there is no big lead for either. It is always a slim margin. There is a great chance he could lose his next reelection run.

Hoosier tar and feather ping.

"Usually the filming that's done end up on youtube in a compromising position"

Why yes, yes they do congress critter.

[TADSLOS]

Ever notice how these representatives hide behind the podium? Instantaneous defensive body language.

LOLOLOL. Baron Hill won’t allow filming at “his” town hall meeting? Whoopsie, someone didn’t get Baron’s memo and filmed it anyway. Busted.

From National Review Online, Despite Best Efforts, Rep. Baron Hill Ends Up on YouTube In a Compromising Position

--------------"Rep. Baron Hill (D., Ind.) cannot possibly be this big a jerk all the time. At a recent town hall, a young woman raised her hand and identified herself as a journalism student working on a school project who was told she could not videotape the event.

Student: Why can't I film this, isn't this my right?

Baron Hill: This is my town hall meeting, and I set the rules, and I've had these rules . . . (jeering) Let me repeat that one more time. This is my town hall meeting for you. And you're not going to tell me how to run my Congressional office. Now, the reason why I don't allow filming is that usually the films that are done end up on YouTube in a compromising position.

Hey, guess what? He ended up on YouTube anyway:"---------------

Was at that meeting; was astonished by the Congressman’s remarks (to a IU Journalism student).

I was prepared to listen (thought I don’t agree with Congressman Hill), and give him the benefit of the doubt, but he was very combative at the town-hall meeting in Bloomington (and somewhat combative at the one in New Albany Two Days Earlier). Not to mention he lied about a few things he does/doesn’t support form N. Albany to Bloomington.

The counter and comments are not being incremented at YouTube. There has to be a better system. YT really stinks.

Baron Hill IS an arrogant jerk. I hope he’s voted out by a landslide.
