According to a Just released Rasmussen poll a plurality of voters (41%), view the Town Hall health care protests favorably. That number is weighed down by the Democrats polled, 48% of Independents view the protests favorably and 63% of Republicans.
Forty-one percent (41%) of U.S. voters have a favorable opinion of the people opposing health care reform at town hall meetings now being conducted by members of Congress, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
But 35% view the protesters unfavorably. Twenty-three percent (23%) are not sure what they think of them.
Given the partisan anger prompted by the town hall meetings, it’s not surprising to see a similar divide in the survey. Fifty-five percent (55%) of Democrats have an unfavorable view of those opposing the health care reform plan proposed by President Obama and the leaders of their party. Sixty-three percent (63%) of Republicans and the plurality (48%) of voters not affiliated with either party view the protesters favorably.
Despite the propaganda coming out of the White House, most voters think that the protests are not created by special interest groups 49% of voters believe, generally speaking, that the protesting citizens are reflecting the concerns of their neighbors.

How could ANYONE view speaking up for freedom, unfavorable?!
We have abject evil amongst us. It has been festering for decades and is now rapidly advancing. The American people are seeing through it on this health care plan and are angry...and tired of being the patsy for all of these marxistic, socailistic, destructive, initiative robbing, liberty destroying, un- American, and unconstituional actions of the DNC, Dems, left, MSM, and RINOs.
Something is going to give, and so help me God, it will not be the liberty, constitution, and way of life my forefathers sacrificed their life's blood for.
The Dems and Obama seem intent on turning this into something more akin to Iran over this issue, with their own Basij thugs sent out to silence us, and Obama supporters called on by the Whitehouse to report any dissent. But that will not work here. It will backfire on them and ultimately they will be held accountable. We are not only aware of our rights and the sacrifices that have vouchsafed them for us, but we are also unwilling to submit to thugery and tyranny, and will use all means to prevent it and stop it.

...and on the lighter side, take your mind off the Obamanation for a few minutes and enjoy some beautiful Western US scenery slideshows.
The democrats have us polling on whether we approve of citizens daring to oppose Obama.
We are not the issue, Obama and his health care proposal are the issue.
If they can make you the enemy now, you will be denied health care later.
I have not seen such improper behavior by politicians in my lifetime.
Because they get their information second-hand, after it's been filtered and spun by liberals.
So much for dissent being patriotic.
So far the violence has all been perpetrated by Obamites, all the victims of the violence protestors of the Obama bill.
Typical tactics of Nazi thugs. Falsely accuse your opponents of what you are actually doing.
If you have a cop that is a friend, bring him to a meeting. He can still arrest even off duty. And he can carry a gun or a tazer. Just a thought.
“If they can make you the enemy now, you will be denied health care later.”
And those reported to the Whitey House website for “fishy” comments will probably be the first to be denied.
