That's what Rep. Baron Hill (D-IN), the policy leader of the conservative/moderate Blue Dog coalition, explained to a journalism student at a town-hall meeting Wednesday night who asked why she wasn't allowed to videotape the event for a school project.
"This is my town hall meeting, and I set the rules, and I've had these rules," Hill responded, in an authoritative tone. "Let me repeat that one more time. This is my town hall meeting for you. And you're not going to tell me how to run my congressional office. Now, the reason why I don't allow filming is that usually the films that are done end up on YouTube in a compromising position."

Do you remember the thread about cameras being protected by the first amendment?.... Need to send that thread to the young woman and encourage her to file charges.

Reps don't understand the Constituent-Representative relationship.
They're supposed to listen then go to Washington and fight for our concerns. I'd like to ask all of them, Why, in the hell, don't you have a pen and paper taking down notes?!

Another arrogant slime that crawled out of the sewer that must be voted out.
Send this to Rush, Hannity, Beck, Levin, Savage and let them give this slime credit for being an arrogant ass.

“This is my meeting and I make the rules” Arrogant a## that will be mumbling to himself after he losses his seat on election day.

They were supposed to go Washington and represent us before the Federal govenment three or four months out of the year; now they come back a week in the summer and two weeks before an election, and represent the Federal government to us — usually in take-it-or-leave-it terms.

Reminds me of the youth in Iran filming with their cell phone cameras for the world to see the abuses of the Mullahs.
There is no escaping it Congress Critters.
I know you hate when people question you, but it is how things are. Get used to it.

To: Nachum
Ha ha, worried about ending up on YouTube in a “compromising position”. Like being a Democrat at a Town Hall?
Speaks volumes.
