Air America host arrested for disrupting Allen West town hall event
Yahoo ^ | 4/26/11 | Matthew Boyle - The Daily Caller

Posted on 04/26/2011 10:18:30 PM PDT by NormsRevenge

Local police arrested a woman who appears to be former liberal radio network Air America host Nicole Sandler while she was disrupting Rep. Allen West’s Tuesday town hall event in Fort Lauderdale and harassing the Congressman’s wife. According to video obtained by Florida blogger Javier Manjarres, known better online as The Shark Tank, police charged Sandler, who revealed her name on camera, with trespassing after they removed her from the event and she “continued her tirade and used an expletive to address a police officer.”

With Air America now defunct, Sandler hosts a self-described “progressive talk radio” show at RadioOrNot.com.

In video he shot of the town hall, several hecklers Manjarres says were “planted” shouted over West as he began speaking at the event. At least one other man was removed from the event. After the hecklers continued disrupting West’s comments, the freshman Congressman shot back at them: “You’re not going to intimidate me.”

West continued speaking after a police officer removed one man from the room the event was held in. Manjarres reports that, “minutes later,” the ultimately arrested Sandler began harassing West and his wife.

According to the Palm Beach Post, the people who disrupted West’s town hall did so because they were not pleased with his pre-event condition that he’d take only written questions submitted before the event. The Post reports that police escorted two men out of the event and that questions hecklers asked included, “How about our Medicare that you’re stealing?” and “How about allowing questions from the audience?”

“There should be a hunting season on liberals. Perhaps one day there will be...”

Yes it is called actually prosecuting traitors to our country, Constitution and way of life. From the anarchists destroying property in violent protests, to congressmen who violate the founding documents. Somehow it became possible and then fashionable to get away with that.

A good start would be to “hunt” traitors of all types. Today we would have to start with our President.

Anyone know who was disrupting my Congressman’s townhall (Dan Webster) in Florida? Rumor was it was a move-on.org plants.

I saw on the news last night that people from "progressive groups" disrupted Dan Webster's town hall meeting in Orlando yesterday. On the 15th, a man stood up and started shouting at Marco Rubio during the Tea Party Tax Day event in downtown Orlando. He was removed by the police, but it looks like the disrupters were allowed to stay at Webster's event.

When Alan Grayson had town hall meetings, he made sure there wasn't much room for people who disagreed with him.

She will be in a big cell with the worst trash, and I can guarantee she won't be running her mouth in there. She also won't be bailed out anytime soon. It takes hours just to get processed.

That is nice to know and I am glad to hear she will receive some punishment for her actions! My sweetheart and I just happened to end up sitting right next to this "Nicole Sandler" at Congressman West's Town Hall, and Mrs. West was sitting right in front of Nicole Sandler.

My husband and I observed all her actions from the minute Allen West began speaking. This woman began disrupting the meeting by yelling out and it was obvious she was there to do nothing but disrupt the meeting. When politely asked to be quiet she was even more obnoxious. She was then warned by security that if she did not quiet down she would be escorted out. Of course, she continued to yell out so she got the escort out and attention she desired.

You will notice in the video that Sandler claims Mrs. West grabbed her phone. That did not happen. In fact Nicole Sandler grabbed Mrs. West hand when Mrs. West raised it slightly to motion Sandler to please be quiet.

I do expect the MSM to paint Nicole Sandler as just someone wanting her voice/opinions to be heard. She had every opportunity to ask a question but that was not her plan. It was obvious her goal was ONLY to disrupt the meeting and getting the attention of being escorted out was exactly what she wanted. More than likely she would not have been arrested, but she proceeded to be nasty and insulting to the police officers. An arrest was certainly deserved! I now know that Congressman Webster had a Town Hall and a nasty group did everything they could to disrupt that meeting. We can expect this from the DEMrats at all future Town Halls given by Conservatives.

You can tell she had this all neatly planned out for the press: how she'd act to ensure removal, her tone with the cop to make it seem like he was mistreating her--all of it. It was choreographed.

You betcha! See my post #46. I had a bulls eye view of EVERYTHING she did! I also expect she is already out of jail and ready for interviews this evening with MSM folks! She will certainly take every opportunity to be the victim!

If that disrespectful woman spent any time in a prison cell with others, they were probably Obama supporters AND voters!

STT, please do me a favor. ALL of us a favor.

If you run into Marco Rubio atone of your rallies, could you please ask him if he has documentation thathis parents were both US citizens at the time of his birth in May, 1971?

I simply can’t gethim to response. I know he doesn’t want to run for anything next year and won’t even discuss the possibility. I have to ask myself if his natural born citizen status-—or lack of it-—could be the reason.

Maybe if someone looked him in the eye and asked him directly he would give a direct answer. Pretty simple stuff, really.

Marco is a patriot and has the makings of a great legislator. If he can proove that his folks were naturalized before his birth, he COULD be fine presidentila material someday-—when he is ready.

But STT, ti be truthful, he could be George Washington and Abe Lincoln rolled into one but if he is not constitutionally eligible, I would rather avoid another Obama controversy.

(Obama is NOT eligible. If his released “long form” is not fake and the listed parents are the real ones, he is not a NBC-—he had a British subject father. NO GOOD per de Vattel, English common law, and Blackstone. None of the authorities current in 1787 would back up 0 as a NBC.)

Thanks for the ping. Few sounds are sweeter than liberal heads exploding.

True, but liberals only like to spend time with their peeps when they are driving them to the polls.

Is that a Spanish term?

As far as I know, Marco Rubio’s parents were American citizens prior to Marco’s birth.

I was informed that Senator Rubio’s parents were among the Cuban immigrants who were Nationalized during the period a large number of Cuban citizens were seeking political asylum here in the US. They were Nationalized prior to Marco's birth.

Which group was that? The ‘60-’62 group? The 1966 group?
I’m quite sure it wasn’t the 1980 Mariel bunch.

Did you hear that from Marco or from a third party because Wiki (yeah, I know, it stinks) is saying that both Rubio and Jindal are children of citizen parents when Jindal has himself said that his parents were NOT citizens in 1971.

I just want to set the record straight. It is not likely to matter this year but it could matter in the future. I’m sure you wouldn’t wantto see the Obama morass repeated with Rubio either.

Also, Marco has the possible “problem” of the Castro regime claiming as citizens all refugees and the CHILDREN of refugees. Nobody here much cares what the commies in Cuba think-—except that the left will surely bring it up. After all, they LOVE the Castro’s and would love to “get even” for the “harassment” that the right has brought down on Obama about HIS eligibility.

BTW, several people have looked at that supposed Obama BC document (digital version) under Adobe Illustrator and it is CHOCK FULL of alterations.

“Crude fake” is the term I’ve been hearing. No matter, the RINOs will grab onto it-—it will help them “reach across the aisle.”

Sorry about the rotten spelling in yesterday’s message. I was out most of the day and I tried playing catchup with my messages when I got in. The spelling Nazis couldn’t resist attacking. I normally do better than that and you deserve better.
