That's what Rep. Baron Hill (D-IN), the policy leader of the conservative/moderate Blue Dog coalition, explained to a journalism student at a town-hall meeting Wednesday night who asked why she wasn't allowed to videotape the event for a school project.
"This is my town hall meeting, and I set the rules, and I've had these rules," Hill responded, in an authoritative tone. "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."

They're supposed to listen then go to Washington and fight for our concerns. I'd like to ask all of them, Why, in the hell, don't you have a pen and paper taking down notes?!
Another arrogant slime that crawled out of the sewer that must be voted out.
Send this to Rush, Hannity, Beck, Levin, Savage and let them give this slime credit for being an arrogant ass.
Transparency, it’s the New Coke...
I sincerely hope the patriots of Indiana
will take care of the ass clown in 2010.
“This is my meeting and I make the rules” Arrogant a## that will be mumbling to himself after he losses his seat on election day.
They were supposed to go Washington and represent us before the Federal govenment three or four months out of the year; now they come back a week in the summer and two weeks before an election, and represent the Federal government to us — usually in take-it-or-leave-it terms.
This is your representative New Jersey. He hates your guts just like mine does in New York.
You dummies elected me, I don’t need you NOW so go F off and by the time it comes for my reelection you will be to stupid to remember that I treated you like little children.
Reminds me of the youth in Iran filming with their cell phone cameras for the world to see the abuses of the Mullahs.
There is no escaping it Congress Critters.
I know you hate when people question you, but it is how things are. Get used to it.
What the ... is the guy doing who is filming/taking pictures of HER!
Note to Hill: “Nice work, Braniac!”
So it would be put on Youtube! LOL
This is our country and we make the rules.
Sincerely,
Your Boss
Ha ha, worried about ending up on YouTube in a “compromising position”. Like being a Democrat at a Town Hall?
Speaks volumes.
He is history.

Maybe he was conjuring Bwaney’s Fwank.
Typical. His constituents work for HIM (in his mind).
Can anyone say DUH! ?
This is just too good.
His district is the southern part of Indiana from the Ohio board along the Ohio River up about a third of the state:
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/individual/#mapHIN/H/09
He won 58% of the vote last time. I would say he could and should be beaten if the GOP can come up with a decent candidate at all. Certainly this clip will hurt him badly if used to good effect.
The arrogance of this condescending &*^%* is astounding.
_Jim shakes head ... no, no, the guy was up front filming towards her ... oh, maybe I get your point now.
Another arrogant jackass!
Far too many in congress have forgotten that they are supposed to represent their constituents in Washington DC. They now act as though their function is to represent their party leadership on those rare trips to the home district.
This a-hole is a public figure, with a publicly paid job, talking in a public hall during a public forum....and yet he insists on driving his swastika-imprinted heel into the rights of his constituents.
The Joker, indeed. :)
He’s exactly right ... you sure don’t want to end up on You Tube .... you could just end up looking like a clueless, arrogant @sshole.

Here is what it says over at wikipedia about this CD:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana’s_9th_congressional_district
“United States House of Representatives, Indiana District 9 is a district of the United States Congress in south-central and south-eastern Indiana. The district is represented in the 111th United States Congress by Baron Hill (D). The chief candidates in 2006 were the Republican candidate and the then serving 9th District Congressman Mike Sodrel, Democratic candidate and previous (1999-2005) 9th District Congressman Baron Hill, and Libertarian candidate/Indiana University Southeast professor Eric Schansberg. This was the third time Sodrel and Hill have faced each other; Hill beat Sodrel by 9,485 votes in 2002 and Sodrel beat Hill by 1,425 votes in 2004. Hill beat Sodrel in 2006 and 2008, and is currently serving in the 111th United States Congress.
Possible contenders for the 2010 election include Republicans Travis Hankins of Columbus, Todd Young of Bloomington, Richard Moss of Jasper.”
This one really looks ripe for the pickings to me.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha
Fox News has played the clip quite a few times over the last couple of days, and I never get tired of seeing this control-freak make an ass of himself.
Yep; and I know the young man running aginst him: Travis Hankins- and a Good Conservative! www.travishankins.com
A..arse
R..eeking
O..bnoxious
N..astiness
You are aware that Hill is a Rat? I want to know who labeled this idiot a moderate/conservative “Blue Dog”, he is anything but.
Mr. Hill is simply one more employee who has forgotten his place.
I get a tingle up my leg just thinking about the 2010 elections. Bring ‘em on!
If I lived in his district, I’d send him a pink slip and an application for a greeters job at WalMart.
ROFL!... At Least He is HONEST about why!
What a dork though!
Sad but true almost all of the time.
More like, by the time it comes for my re-election, ACORN will be ready to roll for me.
“”This is my town hall meeting, and I set the rules, and I’ve had these rules,” Hill responded, in an authoritative tone. “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.”
This guy would have been better off allowing the video taping!
The guy is an idiot.
you’re right, but unfortunately, the Demos have been electing idiots to office for years because they promise something for nothing....just take a look at who elects democrats to office....it is the dregs of society...those who won’t work, who are always looking for a handout, those who want their bizzare lifestyles to be given credibility etc. etc....pathetic
Nope.
(Probable response to above response) OFFICERS, remove that Right Wing trouble making NUT!
This seat bounces back and forth from dem to republican. Strange area. You actually have conservative democrats there.
