Tonight's panel took a look at the disruptions at various 'town hall' meetings. Mort and Charles both through the blame at Rush Limbaugh and said he was responsible for the yelling matches at these events.
What a total lack of understanding! None of the 'disruptions' occurred until Obama called on SEIU to HIT BACK HARDER!
It doesn't take a genius to realize that the source of the problems is SEIU and their thuggery.
I really believe Charles needs to wander outside of the I95 and see what is really happening.
Very dissapointing analysis on their parts.
I am so disappointed in Charles. That is just sad. And it does demonstrate that he needs to get outside the beltway and breath the air we breath.
Here’s the letter I wrote him after spitting nails over what he said tonight:
Dr. Krauthammer,
As a sometime fan of yours, I want to express my outrage with respect to your
comments this evening.
You made the strong suggestion that those of us that oppose the health care bill and attend
town halls to have a debate about the issues just ask tough questions of the legislators.
The town hall events are mostly “managed” and the questions are usually pre-screened. At Rep. Dingell’s
recent town hall, the first four rows of people were packed with all union thugs, and regular folks didn’t get to hear the questions being asked. This resulted in the very upset father of the gentleman in the wheelchair confronting Rep. Dingell after being driven into a rage by these “management of the public” tactics?
Obama is having a town hall tomorrow in New Hampshire. Want to take a friendly wager on the number of pre-screened questions he’ll receive?
I have been a long time activist on the right. I have seen Leftist thuggery up close and personal, whether it be an ANSWER march or Code Pink people. We on the right don’t do that. In almost all cases, we act on principle.
What you are seeing in the town halls is outrage not only on the right, but with Independents and Democrats as well.
I expect Kondracke to not have a clue - he’s regurgitating Conventional Washington wisdom. You on the other hand I expect more of. You certainly have the intellect - I’ve seen you use it. Please exit the Washington bubble you appear to be in and get out amongst the regular people.
The panel tonight (even Steve Hayes, whom I have enormous respect for) appeared to not be in touch with reality.
There are many, many examples of what I speak of occurring all over the country. Don’t misread this.
Respectfully,
sauropod
PS: I don’t always agree with your stance on issues which is why I labeled myself a “sometime fan.” Nothing personal was meant by that. You are correct in about 80% of the positions you take.
Well, he IS a democrat afterall
Wants to keep his job. Perilous times has away of flushing out the truth. Kicking Rush is always a good way to quite the liberals.
Sad ... I stopped listening to this show when Brit left.
Charles has always been hot and cold.
It’s called political inbreeding. These people are so isolated from us, the hoi polloi, they are clueless. Conservative, liberal and armadillo alike.
Charles needs to remember that it is the damn union thugs that are beating people up for disagreeing with them.
Did he bother to mention the black conservative who was attacked by union thugs for handing out "Don't Tread on Me" flags?
I haven’t listened to Rush in years; I work during the day. Matter of fact I can’t even remember every listening to his radio show. How could he encourage me, then?
I've recently started trying them out again, a little bit at a time.
BOR has gone over the cliff, Charles seems to have given in, Hannity is sticking with us and this new guy Beck seems pretty fired up most of the time and makes good points, even if he does act a little goofy.
Are there massive underground uranium deposits or lithium in the drinking water inside the beltway? These guys need to be smacked with an eight pound walleye. Criminy sakes.
If they want to keep the right wing people away, have the town hall meetings during the day. Conservatives are working at those hours.
Alas, Charles is a genius, but a Beltway insider.
That’s it for Krauthammer. He has spent too much time inside the Beltway. Bye-Bye Charles. You have just voided your credibility.
Just like anybody, Charles gets it wrong every once in a while; this is just one of those times. I still think he’s one of the smartest guys in the country.
At least he’ll admit when he’s wrong. I think he pridicted Obama would be a moderate, and wouldn’t swing too far left too fast. He was wrong, and he admitted he was wrong.
Charles is a brilliant man but D.C. has corrupted his brain. He needs to get out of town for a while and try to understand real americans.
