I have a question concerning the Town Halls and this question is directed toward Freepers who have been to them.
All we see on the tube are the shouts, the interuptions, etc. I would like to know how do the town halls start? I tend to think they start respectful at first and then the interuptions and shouting starts as the speaker begins to spout off what most of us would recognize as crap. Do I have that about right?
One problem is democrats have no unified bill so they cannot defend anything specific to be law and can only talk about how bad things will get if we do nothing. So us opponents call them on the worst part of all the different democrats bill. This is a huge problem for democrats.
I think the ‘kill seniors’ theme is a big stretch as they already have rationed socialized medicine now, Cavuto was pointing this out yesterday
There are ways to know what they're up to other than the one where they accuse us of what they're doing. Like this article. They have big money behind them - and accuse us of it.
Standing between a thug and his money - or between a thug and his power - can be dangerous.
But it's a hell of a lot easier to do it now before they have control over every citizen's "life and death".
It's not historically unusual for powerful thugs who are liars, cheats, and totalitarians to also hurt private citizens.
If someone says:"I won't hurt you." They're going to hurt you.
If they say, "It's not about the money". It's about the money.
If someone says, " you can trust me", you can't.
Or if they say "I won't murder you", they will.
This technique is used to mock a legitimate fear that hasn't been totally formed - but honest people don't have to tell you that you can trust them.
People who aren't going to hurt you have no reason to say it.
Dems are stepping up the thuggery - we might be in danger.
Easy to learn and you will be effective within weeks.
Your gonna need it ... soon...
Use the website to find an instructor near you. Cost is very reasonable.
I’ll roger up on this one. A town hall is called to order and some drunk deck apes show up throwing down some beer and then some snipers come in chugging whiskey from the bottle and the push button Thirds want a serious discussion and soon it’s general quarters, baby! Man your bottle stations.... After all is said and done, sweepers is called and the turd chasers have to fix the toilet in the back room... (I’m a Navy man myself so I know these things!)
In seriousness, the town hall is called to order and then the Democratic politician doesn’t answer any critical questions and sneers at those who disagree with Obama and the shouting starts. The MSM portrays it as mobs gone wild but it’s really liberals gone meglomania...
Go to one and see. Be sure to wear your Hopey Changy tee shirt, they will stick you right up front with your SEIU buddies.
The people attending these townhalls know more about what is in the bill than these congresscritters do and when they lie to our faces and the American people..anger is the result.
PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF BEING LIED TO BY OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS!
Boy, wouldn’t it be cook if we could come up with some t-shirts that say “OBAMA” on the front. Just to get called on.
Then when the dufus Dem happily calls on us, we stand up and rip off the temporary panel, revealing the real shirt that says “No government health care!”
Well, it would be COOL, too.
I have been to Town Halls here of Dr. Coburn. Dr. Tom starts off telling the status of what is going on in the Senate and then takes questions and more questions. He answers them truthfully and completely so everyone is respectful.
People start shouting when the Democrats or AARP are lying to their face and will only take questions from the planted people. It is not hard to spot a plant — I have seen it at debates.
Or T-shirts that say “Obama” and then add an “N” (”NOBAMA”) when the meeting starts
I’d say SEIU purple would be a good color
I think that works in our favor.
Their CANNED RESPONSES are about 2 weeks behind the curve. It’s as if they started explaining multiplication to an advanced calculus class.
They look totally out of touch and out of tune. Keep it up.
Man, you’re using terms I haven’t heard in some time. I don’t know if it was bringing back good memories or nightmares. LOL.
I am asking the quesiton in all seriousness because I get the impression that the media - including FNC - just want to show the shouting and not how the meeting starts.
I echo those who explain the meeting starts out civil. What triggers the anger is the speaker will announce that any Obama plan if you like your plan or your doctor you can keep it or them.
Then someone asked if it wasn’t true that you “ could” keep ypu plan as long as absolutely no changes are made but reality is changes as minor as changing amount of deductible would throw you into the public option.
The speaker will deny this and that starts boos.
Dems have resorted the only thing I have left is to demonize the protestors.
No No
it is the only thing Dems have left to demonize.
not the only thing I have left.
silly me
Can't say when, but I'll bet my last fifty cents that there will be a "martyr."
I retired from the Navy several years ago and these terms came back to me when I saw you were a Navy vet. My Navy days... fun times.
I must admit, I had to think about what a push-button Third was but then it came back.
I did check out your posting history, quite odd.
Just a few days ago you post about a upcoming townhall meeting and how you plan to be there with your video camera.
Today you post a vanity to ask how townhall meetings start?
I didn't call you a troll, but you have a very odd posting history.
