Congressman Vic Snyder (D, Ark.) has in the past claimed that he is braver than his opponents because he has the back bone to face the hard questions in open debate. But that was before Obamacare came along. Now, Snyder is hiding behind sick kids at a local hospital where he is holding a townhall meeting. Snyder is telling opponents of Obamacare that an "angry protest" would not be appropriate at a hospital where sick kids are being treated. So why hold a townhall there in the first place? Perhaps for the very reason that he can eliminate opposing views because it's "for the kids"?
Kenneth Wallis is reporting that Congressman Snyder has set up a townhall meeting at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas. The radio commercials advertising the open-to-the-public event stated that the event was starting at 2PM, but Wallis called the hospital and was told the time was changed to 1PM. No reason for the abrupt time change was given.
Wallis was also told by a Bonnie from Ark. Children's Hospital that a "protest in anger" is not appropriate at a children's hospital where sick kids are undergoing treatment.

Arkansas Children's Hospital is one of the finest in the Nation and NO Arkansas child is turned away, and Snyder knows it.
Arkansas has a program called ARKids. Children from families who earn less than $51,000 a year are covered for FREE. These kids get eye exams and eye glasses once a year and FREE dental care, which is one of the reasons it takes so long for MY dentist of 20 years to schedule me an appt.
What used to be in a few days has turned into two months...

That's a good idea! They should ask him if any of those kids will be deemed too sick to treat.

Two words: Bill Clinton (don't blame me for that though, I've only been here for two years).
We are still a red state though...
When I got this message in my inbox this morning from the local tea party people, I was livid, but not surprised. Vic Snyder kind of typifies most Demonrats...a sniveling coward who will hide behind kids when it's convenient for them (but has no problem condoning killing the little ones in utero).
Why is he at the hospital?
Is he threatening to take away their current coverage?
IIRC, our state legislature is controlled by Republicans now, but I need to check on that.
So, go to the Town Hall meeting and tell him to his face what a Coward he is for hiding behind sick children.
Never accept the fight on the Left’s terms.
Always take to them.
Evil never sleeps.
These are the kids they’ll refuse care.for (especially if disabled, remember his only regret was voting to save Schiavo and we know he likes babies to lay in a dirty hospital laundry room, alone to die). Molech always sacrifices kids in one way or another. I would take my kid out of that hospital to another one.
Michelle Malkin twittered that he was using children as a human shield.
Agreed that any politician who would hold a “town hall meeting” in a hospital is a coward. Not to mention mentally incompetent. Hospitals (by definition) are supposed to be for the treatment of persons who are ill and need medical care.
BE WELL!
Well, perhaps Bonnie wouldn't mind if people just sort of stood quietly in the parking lot, holding burning torches.
If he answers “yes”, then have his lap dog media hold him to it; if he answers “No”, then no further discussions would be necessary.
Time for a brick through his window.
