Paul Ryan gave a campaign speech at the Iowa State Fair on Monday, addressing an appreciate crowd of thousands… plus a few protesters who grew violent, and had to be escorted from the venue by state troopers. The Des Moines Register reports:
The audience of more than 3,000, many holding up Romney campaign signs, hooted and cheered, but a handful of protesters shouted at him about cutting Medicare and “the war on the poor.” It was an intense 12 minute speech, with much shouting and Iowa State Patrol officer dispatched into the crowd multiple times to quell unruly behavior. One protester struck a woman in crowd in the face, and there was a report that state Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Red Oak, was getting pushed down.

Thank you AAM. I, too, an a “senior” and I know if I live until I’m 85 I will have LONG ago taken out much more than I put into SS and Medicare. GailA, you need to listen to what Ryan is saying, NOT the dem and media talking points!
They were scams when the started and they are worse scams now. Too bad we pretend they are a good idea. But once you start passing out goodies, it is almost impossible to stop the flow. The only thing that stops it is when there’s no $$$ left to hand out.
But the current system is a monster. People are getting many more dollars back than they put in.
Why didn't older folks today; campaign 30 or 40 years when there money was being stolen by Tip O'Neil and Ted Kennedy?
That money invested in the most safe; low return investments; would return you 3 or 4 times more than SS is paying you.
The liberals don't want that. They want to CONTROL you and YOUR money.
SS is a Ponzi scheme.
The union thugs were heard chanting, “We don’t have any ideas and we don’t want anyone to hear yours!” /s
The Kool-Aid
Stop drinking it
We need hundreds of video cameras aimed at these thugs at all rallies. We need to show the world since the media won't and the video will come in handy for apprehending these people and prosecuting them.
*****
On another note, does anyone know if they ever caught that guy who was taped pushing the guy over and throwing someone's cell phone? I forget what the rally was about but they got decent video of him. It might have been a religious group protesting "gay" marriage.
Exactly...Plus:
Using the letter "U" instead of the typing the word is an absolute sign that you're stupid...or a retard.
What Obama budget? It got Zero votes, and there has been no RAT budget for over 1200 days.
...and economic plan.
Obama's economic plan is to destroy the economy and implement socialism. (Bring it all down...Man)
The Nazis routinely sent goons to disrupt the events and meetings of political opponents...
I was wrong. It was an obamacare protest.

Did they ever catch this thug?
Back on point, can’t we apply the RICO act or some sort of organized crime statute? Thugs hurting people should be punished on more than just an individual level.
I expect it to get worse—maybe even bloody—I put nothing past the Thug Nation of Obama and his Unions Bullies. The dirty tricks have started and as Obama gets more and more desperate—expect anything—and watch the MSM blame the Tea Party for any violence! Going to be a wild and violent roller-Coaster ride til November. I pray for Ryan because I see they have targeted him—he must be destroyed! Ripped apart, and personally brought down by any means possible. Lies, rumors, half truths or what ever. Believe little of what you will see in the MSM.
I read your rant. Now here’s the reality and truth.
SSI and Medicare are ENTITLEMENTS. So said the United States Supreme Court. You are not legally OWED a damned thing. Sure you paid in like everyone else that worked.
Your elected “leaders” decided to borrow that money to use on everything from food stamps to Robert Byrd’s Train Museums and the Iowa Roads to nowhere.
What you fail to recognize is that your tantrum only reiforces the mindset that it is okay for you to have Multiple bypasses and hip surgeries and a monthly check with yearly cost of living increases. All at the expense of someone who at the current age of 25 will pay a higher tax for both SSI and Medicare then you ever did, ALONG with paying for your perscription drug coverage that All that were retired before GW Bush signed the law NEVER paid a dime into. They can also look forward to paying into that system only to have it go belly up in another 7-10 years. All while watching the Richest Generation alive (you) live with your multiple homes, large investments and fancy cars bitch about having to pay a dime more for anything.
Some of us have had our jobs disappear, those that still have them have had to put in 60 hour weeks to keep them and no increases in 4-5 years or our hourly rates cut.
So please either revisit your “Facts” or side quietly while others pay your way. I myself at the age of 50 am getting damned tired of it AND your generations mindset your you are OWED something.
The REALLY fear Ryan and are doing about the only thing they can to try to stop him.
Too bad they didn’t get a good, old fashiioned, CPD hickory shampoo!
a handful of protesters shouted at him (Ryan) about cutting Medicare and “the war on the poor.”It's *almost* beyond belief how clueless and STOO-PID™ these Moonbats are.
So much for 'The Elderly and The Poor'. And whose declared a 'War' them. It sure as heck isn't Paul Ryan or Romney.
The Moonbats should know all this if they are as *intelligent* as they claim to be.
Or they aren't that smart, or don't they listen to their leader Ihr Anführer??
