To her credit, Greta Van Susteren did a great segment on the town hall meetings tonight.

After I made my comment about your link, I found it being discussed on at least two other threads. Thanks for bringing to our attention.

You need to go there,I`m telling you this is going viral!They say they`re going to come under concerted attack by the left,can we help them out somehow?We also need to push this before they can spin this into an “attack on this poor woman or her kid”.

Just happy to see that Michelle M has now jumped on the story - at least it’s documented for the record

HotAir picked this up. Hopefully, Rush or Hannity will spend a few moments discussing it. Maybe, by this time tomorrow, townhall protesters will be asking about it at meetings as well.

Didn’t you love how he loved to go after Palin and then threatened to block anyone who disagreed with him.

I can’t believe that he tries to make people believe he is a middle of the road, serious journalist...he acts like a spoiled little kid to me....he’s arrogant and is high from sniffing the hallways of power.

ABC News was so laughable in their reporting of this fraud.

0bama’s rapt audience is unusually well dressed. Where are the SEIU T-shirts? Where are the mass-produced identical signs with the union label?

Obama is acting like he is still campaigning. Astroturfing town halls....They are so misreading what’s happening out here in the “sticks.”

Have you seen Fox and Friends this morning?Those cowards downplayed the link between Kathleen Manning Hall and the Rats.Anyone whose actually followed the links will see she`s into the rat party up to her chin,go here for a more succinct posting of the association http://search-engine.com/archives/08-12-2009-obama-julia-hall-the-girl-who-asked-obama-a-question-about-healthcare.php

This is an example of why our side is constantly being beaten by the "state run" media machine.
