Shortly thereafter, violence erupted, where there were 2-3 big goons came out and started pushing those in line, and roughing up one in the corner (see top left screen) as well as another being put in a choke hold.

Well said. Thanks for your thoughts.
The word is “thugs”. It’s what they are. Scratch a leftist and find a thug.
” these outbursts would not sway my decision ONE BIT.”
So, are you saying that if we keep talking politely, or just don’t even show up, that will “sway” these Statist tyrrants another direction? The dye is cast - It’s on - we do need to make them very afraid of us as well as put in real alternatives to the 99% of waste in Congress.
Sorry,his is acting like the leftist fascists. We’re better than this.”
Which way will they shunt you, to the right or the left?
IMHO
And so it begins.
What are you talking about?
I think we are going to have to change the date on the Declaration Of Independence from 1776 to 2009.
“No such thing as a gentle revolution. The Left WILL kill you when they can. That’s been their method for over a hundred years. When they get power, they start killing the opposition.”
Agree completely. All they need is some excuse. I am convinced it will happen.
I agree. Obama pin and healthcare now sign will get you into a meeting. You cannot go up against union thugs and ACORN and expect to accomplish anything. One question should be asked at every meeting. Why is congress opting good for a healthcare package for themselves and refusing to take part in the change?
i saw a clip last nite on the news of this town hall meeting...right up front were some very large black men wearing union t-shirts....obama has begun to call out his goon squads just as they were at the polling places....
When you dishonestly put words in my mouth and then try to tear down this obvious straw man, yes, you are using the leftist tactics. The left is morally and intellectually bankrupt. Their arguments are empty and easily shot down. The only thing conservatives have been lacking in the battle is COURAGE to stand for true conservative convictions - and LOUDLY.
The left is now trying to paint us in exactly the way some in this video are acting. We can, and should, attend town hall meetings in droves and speak up in an orderly manner. And when the goons show up, they ought to be pushed back - HARD!
” But, if I was a rep at these meetings, these outbursts would not sway my decision ONE BIT “
That’s not the point of these demonstrations — we know that we’re not going to sway the votes of these politicians, because we know they’re NOT LISTENING!!
The purpose is to get noticed - get the media coverage that will get even the non-political majority thinking and talking... And if we can get the opposition to over-react, that’s even better...
And guess what?? It’s working....
I think I would have thrown them out as well. Jerks are jerks whether the are on the right or the left.
Please provide some historical evidence
of a time when leftists attained power
and didn’t KILL their political opponents.
I’m sure you’ll go politely to the gallows,
because you’re “better than this”.
“The dye is cast “
what color is it?
:)
I sense a couple of million pissed-off citizens descending on DC before the end of the year.
Bingo. It's a central mantra of the left that the "older generation" has normal (conservative) values and is the only thing holding this country back from realizing the full bloom of totalitarian socialism. Øbama's remarks about letting the elderly die is no mistake - it's their overt plan.
A shade of soylent green, just to die for.
