As the anger over the nation's movement towards socialism grows, Democrats' patience with town hall meeting protesters is clearly wearing thin.

On Saturday, Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH) instructed security guards to escort what ended up being a retired New York City patrolman out of a fiery Manchester gathering.

Removed from the forum because he continually interrupted Shea-Porter and others in Manchester was Carl Tomanelli of Londonderry, who objected when her staff passed out health care stickers before the event began.

He also objected that people outside Shea-Porter's Congressional district were in the room, including a young man who could not vote. He noted there were out-of-state license plates around the building. "It's a joke," Tomanelli said.

Porter is a joke. She also said previously that “her constituents wouldn’t mind standing in line for healthcare”

This moron is nothing but a rubber stamp for the DNC and doesn’t have an original thought in her head. She’s one or the worst of the worst and needs to be tossed out on her ear.

She has that dull thuggish look about her. You sure she’s a woman?

[MizSterious]

Amazing. What’s the NH state motto again? They must’ve gotten a new one, certainly “Live free or die” seems inappropriate for THIS “lawmaker.”

Porter:

"No, I just had them remove it...it was only this big anyway..."

Would these same assholes arrest Gandhi?

Isn’t civil disobedience still covered under the Constitution of the United States?

These people work for us not the other way around. They are public servants and they serve at our discretion.

Owww. My eyes, my eyes ...

I know, I know. She should sue her hairdresser.

Cops are often liberal union types... are we sure this guy wasn't a "plant" for the dems use as a way to show how "awful the protesters" are? Really - dems are liars... and they're never past hiring rent-a-crowd types. Someone needs to look closer into this...

[GOPJ]

Look - it’s her politics that are offensive - not her hair “doo”... might be time to grow up...

[trisham]

Perhaps you should lead by example.

[dforest]

That is a man. I have heard of men with the name Carol before. Like Carroll O’Conner.

[xsmommy]

with shorter hair, she could pass....

[San Jacinto]

He’s Guilty!!!

[Ev Reeman]

Apparently the only non liberal unionized cops are the racist ones who shoot a black man fifty times in the back.

[beandog]

Why can’t it be both?

Wow! He is pretty clean shaven though.
