A C-Span Caller Hammers Media for Calling People Like Herself Part of a "Mob" - Video 8/9/09

Here is video from C-Span this morning where a caller named "Leah," from Manchester, New Hampshire, hammered the news media for calling people like herself part of an "organized mob." She indicated she is an independent who has never been politcally active, but has felt compelled to get involved because of the danger of the Democrats' Government Health Care Plan.

She then rattled off a laundry list of Democrat claims about their legislation that just don't measure up to the reality of what is in it.

She also blasted the constant use of the "race card," saying that it was pro-ObamaCare thugs who beat a black conservative. . . . . . . . . . (Watch Video of Caller)

I watched Washington Journal live this am, heard the call, not sure if it was Leah or not but one said similar things and said I voted for Obama, regret.

Great call in. Great articulation of the points. When asked a question she answers promptly, no 50, uhhhh....uhhh. She knows, as just about all of us here, what is wrong in this country TODAY. No, we don’t need no teleprompter, it is deep within us, begging for an opportunity to let it out.

Manufactured outrage, they only wish.

No way. He asked he a question, and she answered it perfectly without losing stride. She was on fire.

Correct, it was not Leah, A caller stated not even a Republican party in his area where town hall held and it was packed with people against this health care bill...and another caller said he is ill and could not attend town hall but his liberal neighbors are very concerned, Leah was last caller.

One Democrat caller said the town halls and opposition are a plot to assassinate President Obama. Only one Dem caller entire hour segment, rest were Republicans and Independents.

That reminds me of the “90”s when CSPAN decided to go Dem, Rep, and Ind, because so many callers were conservative, not just Republican, but they stated they were conservative.

That is why they went with a third option of independent.
