Shameful.

How low will Obama's people go.

Harassing a woman simply for speaking out.

What is this country coming to?

She’s getting the Palin treatment. Liberals and state run media believe conservative women should be seen and not heard. It doesn’t work the other way around because liberal woman are not good looking - so they should be heard but not seen.

How low will Obama's people go.

As low as Obama wants them to go.

The Beast is desperate. It had everything it had ever dreamed of, right there within reach.

Now it sees an impediment in the form of the majority of the American people.

Question is how far are they willing to go to get around, or through, this obstacle. We shall see.

Phone calls and emails. It's going to get a lot worse than this. Us "haves" are going to be under threats of violence from the "have nots" as they grow in numbers and become more desperate. It might be wise to get an "Obama '08" bumper sticker for your car.

Video: Katy Abram on Hardball

GLENN: 888 727 BECK, 888 727 BECK. Hello and welcome to the program. Let me go to Katy in Pennsylvania who was questioned by Arlen Specter. Or you questioned Specter, right, Katy?

KATY: Yeah. Yeah, I did.

GLENN: And what happened to you now?

KATY: The meeting was on Tuesday and the past two days it’s been a whirlwind

GLENN: Are you okay, Katy? Are you okay?

KATY: Yeah, I’m okay. Sorry. I just went there to ask a question and these people I’m sorry. These people are calling my cellphone, calling my dad’s office, e mailing my dad’s office. They are trying to set up the normal people of this country.

GLENN: Katy

KATY: That’s what I see.

GLENN: Katy?

KATY: Yes.

GLENN: Do you have these e mails?

KATY: Yes.

GLENN: What are they saying in the e mails and what are they saying on your phone?

KATY: The phone call I got, the first thing on Tuesday was some coward called me. I don’t know how he got my cellphone number. He said something and then he called me a racist.

GLENN: What was

KATY: The question, this is not a left or right. This is about America, and I wanted him to go back to Washington and show us that, you know, to I can’t even think right now. They are dismantling our country.

GLENN: Okay, Katy, Katy.

KATY: Yeah?

GLENN: Let me tell you something. I can certainly relate to you. I have had to have police cars in my driveway. I have now security detail. If you read any of my if you read any of the blogs about me, if you read any you should read my tweets. The venom, the anger.

KATY: Yeah.

GLENN: The evil quite honestly that is being pointed at people who speak out is staggering. I have done this for over 30 years and I have never seen anything like what is coming. And just know, Katy, that you are not alone. And what you have to understand is this is a sign of their weakness. When they can’t argue the truth, when they can’t defend it and they need to bully and intimidate, when they need to take the, quite honestly Ahmadinejad type tactics and bully people and pillory them without talking about the facts. This is what Stalin did, this is what Ahmadinejad does. They all do it. If they can’t defend it. Don’t worry. There are more people like you. What I’m looking for is those Democrats that say, okay, I wanted change. I didn’t want George Bush and I didn’t agree with his policies, but we are not a nation of thugs. I would like to see those Democrats stand up and where are they. Call if you’re one of those Democrats. But no, Katy, you are not alone. You are not alone.

KATY: I know that. I would say of all the phone calls, the e mails I’ve gotten on Facebook and everything, 99% of them are positive. They’re telling me you know I’m a stay at home mom, too. I know what you’re feeling. I thank you for standing up for me and the boys, for the people. And I’m proud to do that. It’s just that, you know, everything kind of caught up with me last night. I wrote you an e mail last night well, early this morning. And I was wondering if I could read it to you.

GLENN: Yes. Go ahead.

KATY: It says, hi, Glenn. It’s 4:41 a.m. I finally just got a few hours of needed sleep. And sitting here writing you maybe is a way to help myself feel a little better. I can’t stop crying right now. The gravity of the past two days is finally hitting me. I am merely an American who wanted to ask her senator a question. Sorry. That’s all I wanted. Last evening I went on MSNBC’s Hardball with Lawrence O’Donnell. The lamb walked into the lion’s den knowing she could be eaten alive. The lion pounced. The lamb is still alive. But is questioning why she would have placed herself in such danger. I new Hardball would be difficult but I want those who don’t watch the channels that I watch to hear from a normal American. I’m not a plant by the GOP. I am a mom. I may not be the most articulate person. I may not be well versed, but I know what I believe. I can’t quote numbers or facts well. I know my limitations. But I know who I am. I know what I believe in.

Glenn, I have received hundreds of e mails from people like me. My friends tell me they have fan pages for me on Facebook. I have bloggers tearing me apart or holding me up. I feel like I’ve just stepped into your world. I don’t know how you do it. I have always respected you but it has grown a hundredfold in the past 48 hours. I have lost seven pounds in two days. I have barely eaten. My head hurts and I miss my kids. They come home today from my in laws. I just want to hug them. My daughter Madelyn asked me on the phone last night who the sleeping giant was. That’s a great question. It’s such an honest one from my 7 year old. God bless her. Who is the sleeping giant. I’ll tell you who he is. The sleeping giant consists of those of us who have buried our heads in the sand for years. We know what we believe and yet it’s our voice yet if we voice our opinions publicly, we are chastised and called hate mongers or racist even when those lies are unfounded. We are the people who you don’t see in the news. We are the people who love this country so much but feel so powerless to do anything. We feel powerless against this huge machine of government and media. We are the people who are finally taking a stand. We no longer just yell at the politicians on TV. We now go to town hall meetings to have our questions answered, our voices heard and our faces seen. This giant is now awake. He is ready to fight for this country, his freedom and his liberty. I ask that you pray for my family. I’ve been praying for yours for some time now. I know I want to fight this, but I don’t want this ruining our family, our business or our lives. My gut says I can do this. If I must be the waking voice for those whom I have touched, then sobeit. And that’s the end.

GLENN: Katy, you are a very brave, very brave person.

KATY: Thank you.

GLENN: You are only the beginning of you are only the beginning. You have a write in your diary. Are you keeping a diary, Katy?

KATY: I haven’t had time.

GLENN: Okay. Go get a Moleskin. It’s a little teeny book of just blank pages. Keep it with you. Keep it in your purse. Even if it’s one line. Katy, you are living in historic times and while your name or your face or my name or my face may not be ever recorded in history, you are the beginning of that giant. You are the first eyelid opening up or you are the firsthand that has moved and said, wait a minute here. Know your place in history, Katy, and you are you may feel insignificant but you’re not. And speak the truth. Question with boldness and speak without fear. Thanks, Katy.

KATY: Thank you.

GLENN: We have the audio of her question and let’s go see if we can get the audio and see what, what a surprise NBC did to her last night, next.

Do you not remember how the IRS was sic’d on people in the street who heckled Bill Clinton? I do.

Do you ever wonder how many timea Rush Limbaugh, O’Reilly, and Hannity and Glen Beck have been audited ... compared to Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann and Crazy Aunt Helen Thomas?

Someone should ask.

Good for Katy to speak out and good for Beck to give her a national voice and we, the people, a look into how the demonrats think of us and how they play politics.

I heard some dimwit on a news show saying we needed obamacare b/c people are losing their homes and businesses to pay for catastrophic injuries. What BS. I can buy another house or start another business, but how do you ever get your rights back if we surrender them to the statists???

How low will Obama’s people go.


Obama is linked to every one of these incidents. His approval ratings are dropping faster than one can count and it’s reached a point that it’s no longer about healthcare but about Obama, himself, and his whole socialist agenda.

The socialist agenda was suspect but he was given a chance to come to the middle as many expected he would do. When he didn’t, his agenda started to be challenged and then his methods and tactics were questioned and challenged and now his integrity and character is being challenged.

Katy did a very smart thing by going public on Glenn’s show.

People like us will be watching her back. Lots of good patriots in Lebanon, PA.

The union goons better think twice about hurting this lovely young lady.

The driving force in the town meetings are the American people. Elderly, young people who don’t want to be told that they have to have health care, young people who are afraid that their parents won’t get the correct care=if Obama care passes.
HUSSEIN, has to rush and pass this bill because his poll numbers are sinking like a rock.
The democrats/socialists are the real NAZIS. It goes back to Joe Kennedy.
All HUSSEIN and his thugs can do is call the opposition NAZIS.
