The Tucson area Tea Party Coalition held a townhall healthcare meeting at Rincon High School in Tucson on Friday (August 28th). Over 1,000 people showed up at the event ... including one violent counter-protester.
The ObamaCare supporter loudly interrupted the meeting immediately after a TPD officer thanked the group for always being civil and law-abiding at their events. The event protester shouted over our panelists incessantly and, when approached, hit one of the attendees in the face with his elbow. The man who was assaulted kept his cool and TPD promptly removed the protester from the auditorium.
Two local TV stations covered the town hall event, KOLD13 and KGUN9. The following video clip is from KGUN9.
...
It should surprise no one that, although the mainstream media completely ignores the ordeals, it is ObamaCare supporters who typically become violent protesters at tea party rallies and town hall events. Meanwhile, the peaceful but sometimes vocal opponents to the costly government take-over of our health care system are labeled as the "angry mob".

Surprise, surprise.
Surprise, surprise.
Yup, it’s the libs who resort to violence.
What else do they have?
” and TPD promptly removed the protester from the auditorium. “
This moonbat committed a felonious battery in plain view of a thousand people, including, apparently, members of the Police Department...
Had it been a Tea-Partier that did this, he would have been arrested and prosecuted, and it would have been reported as ‘The Crime Of The Century’...
It’s time to start fighting back.
Someone should have broken that traitors face....
HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO “WALK” OUT HAD THAT HAPPENED TO ME....................
The reason that they resort to violence is
that they’ve never had to rhetorically defend
their ideology, in any setting. They are incapable.
Of course, I’ll have to give them some slack on
this point -
“liberalism” is logically indefensible.
The guy with the big elbow is lucky if he is still walking around.
“HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO “WALK” OUT HAD THAT HAPPENED TO ME....................”
What makes you think he got away?
And everybody just stood around watching and not offering any aid.
What a bunch of brave folks.
Forget about winning back our country. It’s not going to happen. It is easier to do nothing and make excuses for non action.
Talk is so much better. It accomplishes so much.
They are intentionally trying to create violence, because, once a patriot takes up the challenge, then the lamestream media gets to portray them as violent racists. These union thugs are intentionally throwing sucker punches for a reason...
The TPD should have arrestd that lib. My guess is person committing assault is some union goon.
Yep, and like the GOP, they stand there and take it. See where it got the GOP over the last twenty years.
HE WAS NOT ARRESTED, APPARENTLY...............
Exactly right!
We need more of these stories to get out. The lie that is substituted for news today is pushing this nation over the edge.
So I expect, actually I have been expecting this for awhile already, that the Left will incite a street brawl and turn over the narrative to the MSM to spin it into a “Right Wing Vigilante” story.
This will allow the Obama minions the chance to run 24-7 about the “lawless right terrorists” and get off the story of his failed health care plan as well as using his executive “powers” to use for his ends.
Take close note here people, this is what the Bolshevik Communists did in the streets of Germany and that enabled an even worse evil to seize power. Had Germany not been subject to the assaults of the Communists I do not believe Hitler would have taken power.
I’m glad folks showed restraint, actually.
So far it’s the left that has the violence issues.
However, restraint has its limits. Self-defense is sometimes necessary.
Also, it doesn’t take much to cause a head injury and an flying elbow certainly could do damage.
You must file charges when you are assaulted. Gentlemen, do not play ‘tough guy’ and fail to press charges—prosecute the violent left every time!
Keep up the fight!
