I certainly hope the fence sitter liberal leaning middle voters are getting PO'd over hired union thugs using violence to silence dissent.....

....or the fake doctors and planted questions and supporters.

The hired violence HAS to be illegal. Couldn't this be considered "free speech fraud" or something?

The Left sees themselves at a disadvantage because their minions will only give support if they are paid, given a bus ride, or a carton of cigarettes. So, to even the score, they use thug tactics and bully citizens who hear nothing but lies and are fighting for their freedom and liberty.

The video consists of a few comments from people against socialized medicine.

Then a young couple is interviewed and the lady is handicapped, and she states that (after her husband says that “the Left is violent”) they pushed her so that she could not return to her chair.

You won’t see this on the Liberal Media.

From the era of Saul Alinsky comes this counsel from none other than Spike Jones and his Band:

Never hit your grandma with a shovel, it makes a bad impression on her mind.

Who'd thought that a U.S. president would one day order his "people" to have shovels ready?

No children or handicapped person should be at these meetings. But no one is listening. These are being treated like carnival gatherings. Fun for the family.

If these things progress as I hope they do, nobody over the age of 45-50 should be present either.

Anybody older than that will only get in the way.

STAY HOME!!!

Let me put this politely. Screw you! Myself and a lot of people my age will be the deciding factor in the coming conflict. Over 50, ex-infantry, and still able to kick ass including yours, if the time comes.

Nobody appointed you Commander in Chief of the opposition, and sure as hell nobody will with that stupid ass attitude. Of course, age/race/wealth division is a classic tactic of the communist. Makes me wonder...

It’s a free country thus far. Anybody can go to these meetings.

That crippled lady should never have been at that meetings for reasons stated in the story. She would have been safe at home.

No one seems to be understanding what I am trying to relay…or pretend not to want to understand. I’ve been there, seen it, done it. If it continues, which I hope it does, this is no place for children or folks at a certain age. Folks at a certain age can relay much wisdom, but should not be physically involved in the event they can endanger younger folks’ lives.

I think CragslaMangoTreeLawyer ment what he (I am assuming the poster is a male) said in a well-meaning way. Just a word to the wise - anyone who shows up should prepare for a physical fight - and in true bully fashion, the very old, physically disabled, ladies who look like they can't fight back, etc. will be pushed and shoved and knocked down.

Myself, I am 53 going on 54 and I want to be there - hearing about this stuff going on to bully people from speaking out just makes my blood boil.

I have great health insurance which will not be touched by those congresscrooks.

If you want to continuing living in the U.S., good…suffer but don’t complain.

We have great doctors here...many who have their degrees from the U.S.

I don’t know who or what you are and your advice may be sound but I haven’t run from a fight yet and don’t intend to start now.
Kind of playing into their hands if people are ‘afraid’ to go to public meetings. Guess you think they should stay in the house at night to.
Paint EVERYONE with a broad brush and you are inviting flames.
To many people (including yourself) think the average person over 50 is what the idiot box says it is...most all they portray in their 50’s are feeble and senile....Not a good description of me and my cohorts—I’m pushing 70 now and will do what it takes etc.....
Just be advised....

I cannot explain this since U.S. citizens have been involved in defending our country only twice on our land. The second time was the civil war. Therefore, everybody is new at this.

“Over 50, ex-infantry”

That is a stupid comparison, but I'll play the game anyway.

First, every American has a right to be at a meeting with their representative. They have a right not to be physically intimidated by anyone while exercising their First Amendment rights.

Second, if you think that age somehow makes a difference in the exercising of our rights you need to go somewhere like the DU and hang out there.

Third, there were a couple of over 50 troops with me and I did my best not to drop too far behind when they were in the lead. I would put the guys I served with, no matter what their age today against anybody. Period.

Fourth, there are plenty of Father/Son/Daughter and even Mother/Son/Daughter combos in the field today.

Last, since they aren't holding any of the Town Hall Meeting in Panama, what the hell does it matter to you who goes and who doesn't.

Uh, I’m pretty sure that if you are a US citizen, you will face fines from the IRS if you are not in an “approved program.” Additionally, your taxes will go up as well as will those of your children. If not, why stir the hornets nest You don’t even live here?!

You can run, but only so far unless you can renounce citizenship.

Regarding what I think you are saying, that the Townhalls could get ugly and young and old should not attend; well, first of all, no one can say what could or would happen or if and when something happens with large crowds. I think your age “recommendations” are rather arbitrary. Young and old (as you define it approx. 45+) should be there as THIS WILL AFFECT EVERYONE!!!

No it is not. I give the same advice to folks taking their children to these carnivals. It is to keep these children and older folks safe. How more simple can it get? Next I am going to called a racist.

“do you approve of everyone going to the 9/12 march or do you have limitations on that too?”

Anything is better than nothing. But if turns out to be another carnival and folks in costumes, forget it.

You are either a plant, a fraud, or an asshole. I'm actually betting all three.

An American living in Panama would not call Panama 'his country' as you do in the second sample. If true, then you are no longer an American, and can go piss up a rope for any opinion on the subject at hand.

Fighting in the streets. When was this ol' great and mighty Warrior Princess? Which side were you on?

And my favorite...

If you want to continuing living in the U.S., good…suffer but don’t complain.

I would say something about this line but I don't want to get banned. Oh, what the hell, you are an f-stick. Stay in Panama.
