Fla. Town Hall Meeting Takes Explosive Turn Hundreds Turn Out For Health Reform Talk Shut Out; Scuffles Break Out TAMPA, Fla. (CBS) ―
Angry protesters and strong supporters clashed at a health care reform town hall meeting in Tampa, Florida Thursday.
The meeting which was scheduled to begin at 6:00p.m. drew hundreds of people who quickly began to overwhelm staff and event organizers at the front entrance.
As the building filled to capacity and police started denying people entry. Hundreds were locked out of the event at the Children's Board Building and some of them started banging on windows and doors.
The building's maximum capacity is 250, reports CBS affiliate WTSP-TV in Tampa, but hundreds of people wanted in to the building.
Things got so rowdy that Democratic Congresswoman Kathy Castor and State Representative Betty Reed, who were hosting the forum, had to cut the event short. Castor had to be escorted from the building.

The People speak.
Will be spun as Conservative Thugs Gone Wild.
We are seeing the beginning of the House returning to Repub control next year.
I totally agree, this will I think possibly make the Klintoon loss of Congress in 94 pale in comparison.
Something is going to give, and so help me God, it will not be the liberty, constitution, and way of life my forefathers sacrificed their life's blood for.
The Dems and Obama seem intent on turning this into something more akin to Iran over this issue, with their own Basij thugs sent out to silence us, and Obama supporters called on by the Whitehouse to report any dissent. But that will not work here. It will backfire on them and ultimately they will be held accountable. We are not only aware of our rights and the sacrifices that have vouchsafed them for us, but we are also unwilling to submit to thugery and tyranny, and will use all means to prevent it and stop it.

...and on the lighter side, take your mind off the Obamanation for a few minutes and enjoy some beautiful Western US scenery slideshows.
Rush touched on two excellent points:
He said that he wants to know why they can’t just have these Town Hall meetings in a high school gym or a sports arena or something, and that people are angry because they know they’re being lied to. The Dems aren’t selling this plan
Didn’t Facebook get hacked or suffer a DoS yesterday?
Hmmmm.........
We can do 1994 again. YES WE CAN!!

I think so too. I sense it happening. We are NOT extremists, we are scared. We don’t want this crap to pass. People will DIE if this passes. What is so hard for these Dems to understand, it is FEAR driving us, not the GOP, not anyone else. WE DONT WANT THIS GARBAGE TO PASS and I will do whatever it takes to make sure it NEVER PASSES
What I don't understand is why the representatives that oppose the socialized deathcare plan don't hold their own town meeting. Then they could have it at some giant venue, invite Sarah Palin, and put videos of 20,000 people on You Tube.
We should make up big blue flags with thirteen stars in a circle and the numerals 1994 in the middle. That’d get them where they are most afraid.
