Over the past few days, I've been checking You Tube to look for any new and interesting ObamaCare Town Hall "Mob" videos, and this evening I found these:
Apparently, Democrat US Senator Jeanne Shaheen hosted an ObamaCare Town Hall meeting today; but she was a no-show, leaving members of her staff to take the heat and listen to constituents' questions and concerns.
This is a pretty good video. They young guy who made it took the time to interview attendees on both sides. Or, I should say that he tried to interview both sides.
The pro ObamaCare folks were hesitant at first, and soon became less cooperative when the videographer asked one guy about his Massachusetts license plates. At that, another woman in the ObamaCare tee-shirt of the day advised Mr. Massachusetts to stop talking; and then she got out her camera to tape the guy with the video camera.
I wonder if she went back home to Massachusetts and reported this to the White House Snitch Line?
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video.
lol
Go to the Part 1 video, the 6:58 mark. There is a man originally from Columbia who served in our Marine corp and is a citizen who answers what socialism does to people.
And it was pretty funny to see the ObamaCare "protesters" from out-of-state wearing matching tee shirts, which puts the lie to Obama/Rahm's whine that it's their opponents who are doing the astroturfing.
The old Marine was great!
Wow, part II is great!
Amazing video. The 0 supporters must have been bused in. They didn’t have a clue about the bill they were supporting!
0 and his bill are sinking for sure!
I was just laughing my ass off when the interviewer asked a guy about the massachusetts license plates. The lady on the left put her hand on the guy as if saying “don’t say anything”. Then she got coy and acted like a kid caught with her hands in the cookie jar. THEY WERE TOTALLY CLUELESS AND COULDN’T ANSWER SIMPLE QUESTIONS!!!
The pro-Obama side looked fake.
Thanks for the great post. As usual the Socialist/Communist/Stooges/Useful Idiots (formerly Libs) are everything they say they are not. LOL!
excellent video, this is america!
Of course I loved it when the members of Obama’s team got nabbed being from another state entirely and were saying that they were told not to “engage” in discussions
I seriously hope that the congress is listening. Even the full weight of ACORN can not save them in 2010
BTT.
The reason why I am thinking this is so is because they are in the standard SEIU colors of purple and yellow. I'm gonna check around a bit on that thought...
The folks in matching tee-shirts are, in fact SEIU members.
Here's a screen cap from the video:
And here's a July, 2008 photo from a prescient post by NH blogger, GraniteGrok, showing another SEIU member campaigning for BO:
So, Nancy Pelosi, Rahm Emanuel, Barbara Boxer, Harry Reid, and that little doughy-faced Obama press spokesman can whine all they want about the vast right wing conspiracy "astroturfing" town hall meetings.
The pictures prove them liars and hypocrites.
Wow, you need to tell Glenn Beck. He would love to know the SEIU members are out counter-protesting the real grassroots folks in their matching union t-shirts.
Hi guys! I hope you get to see this as my posts get moderated for some reason.
Wow, I guess we had quite an impact. Do you think they still really think we are a ‘tiny minority’ with ‘faked rage’???
The polls show we are NOT the minority and our rage is NOT faked.
I led this protest. There was another, larger one in Grafton today too.
We are the NH Tea Party Coalition. No one pays us, or incites us, or makes us ‘fake’ our rage. We did not do anything wrong. We were only inside for about 10 minutes with the staffers and did not block anyone. We then moved people outside after we told them that Shaheen should not only meet with us in person, but recognize that NO ONE WANTS THIS BILL PASSED.
You can read all about what really happened here:

The write up on examiner.com claims we intimidated supporters but of the 70 or so people there, there WERE NONE except the paid volunteer illegal aliens from SEIU/ACORN/OFA you saw in the video who only came out to counter protest us. Everyone was free to have their private sitting with the staff if they wanted. We were only in there for about 10 minutes MAX.
Whoever wrote that up on Shaheen’s site is an abject, pathetic liar.
NOTE: On August 11, the ONE is coming to NH to stage a fake ‘dog and pony’ show to get sympathy for his failing plan....and we would like 10,000 anti-gov’t takeover of health care to come out and show our numbers like they did in Ohio.
We need to send the message: WE JUST DON’T WANT THIS PROGRAM.
WE are not wearing Brooks Bros and we are not advocating anything illegal or violent. The cops were called by the few proponents and they tried to intimidate us into moving our cars saying we would get tickets, but we had every right to be there too since we were attending an event there. The cops are on our side and did not even look our way.
Oh and by the way, we have not heard one peep from the GOP. They are not ‘running’ this as they like to accuse.
These are REAL people and they are angry and NO ONE IS DIRECTING THEM I can assure you.
Can some one send me to the statement by Shaheen’s office? They need to be corrected.
Jorge is a WONDERFUL Patriot and he helped organize this.
He is no rich person and in fact, is an official in the Town of Hampstead.
HE WENT ACROSS THE STREET AND BOUGHT WATER FOR ALL OF US because it was such a hot day, AND OFFERED IT TO THE PAID VOLUNTEERS OF THE SEIU WITH THE PURPLE SHIRTS.
That’s how nice we were.
I already have reported everything to Glenn Beck.
YES THEY ARE SEIU ‘volunteers’ from Mass.
Pelosi is a whiner and knows we’re not a ‘tiny’ cadre, not astro-turfed and not bussed in or paid like the purple shirters are.
But SEIU/ACORN/OFA/NHDP get funds and people from out of state for everything they do.
I take in all the emails and I can tell you, I have not had ONE correspondence from the GOP on this.
This is a people’s revolt and it won’t stop until they stop this gov’t takeover garbage!
Turnabout is fair play.... I think everyone from Vt., Mass, Maine and Conn should come to Obama’s dog and pony show on the 11th... more info to come on that! Watch our website.
Great great job!
We now need to get Shaheen to back off her scathing presser that is fraught with lies. It’s funny because here is the actual OFA email that lied about her being there, we never told them that.

Here is what else you need to read…
http://www.nhteapartycoalition.org/tea/2009/08/06/shaheen-should-be-ashamed-for-cowardly-misleading-press-release/
We are not paid for, bussed, or incited by ANYONE, not the GOP or anyone.
Shaheen’s press release is likely libelous, as no one was prevented from speaking with the staffers. We were only inside for about 10 minutes.
The SEIU people were bussed in from Mass, and paid to stand there with their purple shirts. One was an illegal. There were about 5 of them and they would not answer questions because they are really not even familiar with the issue!
Dealing with all the unfairness, FUD and lies is quite exhausting. I like to be at as many of these as I can so I can write up ‘what really happened’ because they are sure to make up stories, as you see in that Shaheen press release.
No one was prevented from speaking to the staff.
In Grafton, State Reps were there — and they also assured me nothing untoward happened and neither did anything happen in Dover the week before.
