Chris Matthews Says Townhall Meetings “Like the Streets of Tehran”
NewsReal ^ | August 4, 2009 | Staff

Posted on 08/04/2009 9:36:47 AM PDT by liesel2000

Others on this blog have described how Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-TX, demeaned his constituents for having the audacity to oppose socialized medicine at a public meeting. (Doggett called their self-expression a “real desperation tactic.”) However, it’s worth memorializing the way the host of MSNBC’s Hardball, Chris Matthews, views those who reject ObamaCare: they’re jihadists. (Snip)

Matthews began: “Everytime a member of Congress or Senate calls a town meeting now, the people show up, and it’s like, I don’t know, it’s like Iran, it’s like the streets of Tehran.”

Okay Chris. If it is like the streets of Tehran, does that mean the Health Care protestors represent the voice of the people and the congressmen represent the illigitimate Government?

Oh it’s not that they’re jihadists.

They’re Iranians. They’re rebels. They want freedom. And we know how Obama feels about that.

no sissy- when your leftist friends were starting fires in the streets of NYC and beating NYPD officers unconscious during the ‘04 GOP convention, that was like the streets of Tehran...

I was there- you were there- but being the typical leftist coward you are you said nothing about it....

Hey Chrissie, there is one difference, when they starting aiming weapons (which has already happened) at us and firing them. We the people have the ability to RETURN fire.

Revolutions usually start within a countries military.

I’m glad to see even Tingles Matthews sees the uprising against government deathcare is a disgusted public rising up against arrogant, onerous, unaccountable governance.

Gee Chris, I hope that wasn’t supposed to be an insult because I would consider it an honor to see my fellow Americans standing up for what’s right like the Iranis and Hondurans.

“Like the Streets of Tehran”

Yeah, except without the bombs, mass murder, mass shooting, corpses lying in the streets, beheading, and peaceful public protest.

They are so afraid of the people...and the truth.

Precisely why we need to keep hammering them mercilessly over this monstrsity.

Here is a link to the full House Democrat Health Care Plan in PDF. In Section 1233 E & F, pages 426-433, you find the part about mandatory end-of-life counseling for anyone over 65 years of age. Section 152 Page 50: All healthcare services will be provided without regard to "personal characteristcs" which is not defined within the document but is understood to include immigration status.

Section 224 b Page 125: The Secretary shall design and implement the payment mechanisms and policies under this section in a manner that — (1) seeks to (B) reduce health disparities (including racial, ethnic and other disparities).

A lot more provisions now being documented at that site.

Donwload it, read it, study it, then hammer your reps over it and pass it on to all you know asking them to do the same.

Also, here's a large image of the Democratic (Obama) Health Plan chart-another Obama empty promise. This is the one the House democrats are censuring. Email these links or the image to everyone you know.

Obama and all those pushing his radical agenda are abject marxist ideologues. Their "fundamental; change" is nothing more than a destruction of the American free market and fundamental republican principle.
