ROMULUS, Mich.: There were no buses, no swastikas, not a piece of Astroturf in sight.
But there was name-calling, jeering, red faces and finger-pointing as Michigan residents shot back with fury at a congressional town-hall meeting geared to explaining President Obama's health care plan.
Rep. John D. Dingell, a Democrat and a lead author of health care legislation in the House, did his best to remain composed, even as many constituents and other residents argued that the plan is socialized medicine and rained down fury against a smaller group of supporters for the plan.
"You're a fraud, you have not read the bill," screamed Mike Sola, who got directly in the lawmaker's face in furious confrontation, wheeling his 36-year-old son, Scott, who has cerebral palsy, directly to the podium before police stepped in and encouraged the Milan, Mich., man to leave. He asserted that the bill would not help his disabled child.
"Fascist America," Mr. Sola screamed on his way out.

Hey Michigan .... there is a simple solution to the problem .... quit voting for liberals
Man, these idiot liberals just stepped in it with the American people.
The imagery of that man with the son in a wheelchair and Dingell scolding him is powerful.
That needs to go on protest signs.
Too bad the Halloween Outlet stores aren’t open yet. I think a plastic pitchfork would be the perfect accessory when attending a town hall meeting, even if you don’t intend to say a word.
American Patriot: "You're a fraud, you have not read the bill."
Congressman: "So what. We in Congress are better than you,
our families and friends are better than you, and NONE OF US
will EVER have the death-panel healthcare that is about to replace whatever you have (sucker)."

This cold civil war will go hot.
The left in Europe engaged in eugenics where active children were sterlized along with slow children and down syndrome children. This occurred mostly in Europe. The point is the left will euthanize all sorts of people to “save” money. No illegal aliens I am sure will be deported because they will vote the correct way.
I wonder how much the RNC, Insurance companies and Nazi “clubs” are paying the guy in the wheel chair to protest?/s
I believe they are being intentionally provocative.
Premature gestures of rebellion will help Obama immeasurably.
If "the shootings begin" out of frustration and in response to provocation, the result will be disaster.
Restoration of legal government cannot and will not occur without a careful plan, and without, at a minimum, a consensus that there is no other way forward.
Watch what you say there, I’d ask the mods to delete that comment if I were you.
That comment from the left coast!
Your funny.
I’ve not seen this anywhere here or elsewhere. Friday morning on Detroit’s WJR, the Great Voice of the Great Lakes, Frank Beckmann was interviewing a participant or at least an attempting participant to the Dingle gig last Thursday night.
There were two thing of interest, one seen in the video posted on this site from yesterday. I only report what I heard but can not substantiate it.
Statement 1: There was some guy carrying around a sign in the meeting with a face of Zer0 with a Hitler mustache painted on it. Subsequently, the very same fellow was observed distributing Pro-Dingle Pro-Single Health System brochures. In other words, the carrying of the sign was a total work of a shill for Dingle.
Statement 2: Before the doors were open for the general public waiting in the lobby, a number of people had entered into the room from another doorway to sit in the front rows of reserved seating. When the doors were opened to permit some of those waiting in the lobby to enter. This observer saw a man carrying a sign with a swastika on it. Hence, the swastika did not enter the room from the general public’s doorway but the “insider” entering the other door with Dingle, the Acorn A$$holes and the Union Thugs. I’d like to take that sign an place it somewhere within Queen Nancy where the sun don’t shine.
What a bunch of total liars.
If any reader can confirm this, I’d welcome that posting.
