WATCH: Rep. Jim Moran Gets Testy With Veteran at Town Hall: Sit Down or Leave
Eyeblast TV ( Media Research Center) ^ | 4/8/2011 | Joe S.

Posted on 04/08/2011 6:56:32 AM PDT by blog.Eyeblast.tv

Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) held a town hall meeting on April 7 about the possibility of a government shutdown. During the event, a veteran stood up and questioned him why he isn’t in Congress right now working out a deal so the troops can get funding. Moran began answering the mans questioned then got testy and told him to sit down or leave.

Moran has a history of anger issues. For example, in 2000 Moran stooped as low to accuse an 8-year boy, who was a straight-A student, of trying to steal his car. During the incident, Moran began choking and cursing at him. He later said the boy claimed he had a gun on him. He didn’t. The child also told the police he was just admiring his car.

Yet another proud moment of a proud DIMocRAT who was elected by proud DIMocRAT voters.

Moran wasn’t angry. He was just sloppy. </sarcasm>

When we closed all the public mental hospitals the patients had to go somewhere. It seems a few found their way into politics.

And don’t forget the beating-his-wife-on-the-front-lawn incident. How this Moron keeps getting elected I’ve never understood. The only rational explanation is that his voters are all of the people from Maryland who moved to Virginia to escape the sky-high taxes. The guy is an embarrassment and a disgrace, with no respect for anyone. Going to one of his town meetings is a nausea-inducing exercise in futility.

People should have started standing up in turn and asking the asshole the question: “Why don’t you answer his question?”. It would have sent him into total meltdown.

Moran is a douchebag.

Then again, I have yet to see a member of the RAT party that isn’t a douchebag.

Ok, I get (kinda) why we still have Boxer, Reid and some of the other idiot dims but why, oh WHY is Moron still getting elected?
Don’t the Alexandria dims have anybody else who is less offensive?
(Personal note: my kid and his Conservative, Catholic friends are all moving to Old Town - so I hope that helps tip the balance some...God willing.)

Jim Moron had a lot of his lefty supporters there, so he felt quite emboldened... can you imagine what our world would be like if there were more Moron types than us... they would have their re-education camps, and they would’nt think twice about violating our human rights.

Also, the shady deal with the credit card companies. He was ‘swimming in credit card debt’ was allowed to consolidate (which, yes is(was) available to all), all the while passing legislation which favored the CC Companies.

Few years back, (had to be late 80’s, early 1990’s) he showed up at my VFW for a campaign visit (the Hall was open to the public for bingo and community events) but he was ‘afforded’ the privilege of visiting the bar. (Which was closed to non members of VFW).
He approached me, extended his hand and thanked me for my service. He then proceeded to campaign. I listened for a couple of seconds and asked him to move on as “I wasn’t interested” and he got a little ‘testy’.
At which point I kind of read him out, said he was a guest and would do well to move on or risk getting ejected. I also told him I was fed up with his BS.
Of course, at no time did I raise my voice or try to embarrass him....(well not really anyway).
He also had once told an opponent - a US Army (I think) 20+ year retiree that ‘he had done nothing in the line of public service’, with a later ‘explanation’ that he meant like ‘serving in soup kitchens’ or community volunteering or some such garbage.

Small world, we actually live in Alexandria and our company is based in Old Town. The district Moran is from is HEAVILY Democrat. Unfortunately, it’s also my district...

I have been following this guy since the days of Newt and the boys took over Congress. He used to be on CSPAN, Chissy, and all the NBC shows, and I didn't like him then, my gut told me he was not a good egg. But this is disgusting, he obviously has problems (plural). I once asked a Boston Cop a question about where I parked my car if it was ok their, and I got the same in your face response, totally out of context with what your input was (if you will). IMHO a sick individual that should not be in Congress, let us hope someone runs against him that can win over his district.

The guy that asked Moron for an answer had a right to be angry.

This Moron is a disgrace to America. Any President who has troops in action should force his own party to pay the damn troops.

How does this piece of Virginia scum keep getting re-elected? He's been an incumbent for 20 years, meaning he's won ten elections running every 24 months and that isn't even counting his primaries!

Here's one reason......the state of Virginia voted 52% Obama, 46% McCain in 2008. Moran's congressional district voted 70% Obama in the same election.

Another reason takes us back through history. Virginia became awash with waves of Irish immigrants after the Great Famine in the 1840's. How could a blarney-speaking, pugnacious, ex-boxer politician named James Patrick ("Jim") Moran NOT be elected by their descendents!

Virginia is the Mother of Presidents and the arena of action by the greatest of our founders and statesmen.

Then there's Virginia's thuggish Jim Moran.

When we lived in No VA, I worked on Kyle McSlarrow’s campaign so I saw Moronistas up close...
These kids I speak of all went to Bishop Ireton, are devote Catholic men who have their heads on straight...
and give me hope for the future...
good luck to you in the “belly of the beast”...

I know it’ll never even make it to a vote but oh how I wish there were term limits for these people!
