McGovern acted like a COWARD and a TYRANT. A sad display of our Government disrespecting average American citizens by oppressing their ability to speak freely and to capture their experience via video. No cameras of any kind were allowed.

Must have been those “manufactured” right wingers (in the most liberal district in the most iberal state).

Yeah right.

This is absolutely ridiculous - a public meeting should be recorded.

“Transparency?” I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Expect more of that.

Time to employ a little "technology."

"Mr. McGovern said. “The meeting wasn't perfect and it wasn't always polite but I got the opportunity to express my view on the subject.”"

I wasn't aware that the purpose of a town hall meeting was for the representative to express his views. I believe the real purpose is for the citizens to express their views. For a representative, the owner of a bully pulpit, to proudly proclaim that he was able to speak at his own town hall meeting, is the lamest "victory" I have ever heard.

Obamanomics at work here. Usually us radical right wing extremists are too busy trying to earn a living to do much protesting. Obama better get used to “angry mobs” because the more he talks, the madder we get and we don't have to invent anything to be “righteously outraged” about.
Elections do have consequences, but America does have a Constitution, and it's about damned time we reminded them about it.

Post a video of the meeting on YouTube anyway.

X minutes of static or blackout and let it be know that that’s what your public servants allowed to be recorded of the meeting.

What is telling here is the level of propaganda that zero and his minions are engaging in to sell us something we don’t want.

Despite massive rejection of the DeathCare plan, Chuckie “You Can’t Tell Me What To Do” Schumer says that they will go ahead and cram this bill down our throats. The WH has characterized the attendees at these meetings as being organized by Republicans (if only the Republicans were that organized!).

IMO, we are seeing the beginnings of a real revolt by the people against the government. The Tea Parties were the first indicator, followed by the reports of disruptive townhall meetings across the country. If Chuckie Schumer follows through and forces DeathCare through the Senate, I believe that we will see significant incidents of civil disobediance and protest that could well lead to open revolt.

Town hall meetings are being held across the nation in a last-ditch attempt to sell the government run health care program

I love sentences like this.

"Last Ditch Attempt"? They're desperate.
