So, Senator Tim Scott and Mark Sanford had a difficult day at their Town Hall meeting in Charleston. Was everyone there from South Carolina, from Sanford's district, and were they registered to vote? Or were they paid protestors from Organizing for America?

So, I wonder. Do they have training camps that look like terrorist training camps? Where they learn to terrorize and kill innocent people? Beat up innocent bystanders? Or is that where they learn to assassinate police officers? Or how to control and kill 103 people in a night club? This is the kind of Left Wingers I see in the United States today, they are terrorists

Simple. Call their meetings campaign rallies to keep out the riff raft.

Great idea. And drivers license. Non-constituents need to be barred from these town hall events, if for no other reason than to allow the legitimate constituency an opportunity to participate.

TALKING POINTS: Obama-linked anti-Trump activists get a ‘training manual’ to protest Trump By Paul Sperry, NY POST

An Obama-tied activist group training tens of thousands of agitators to protest President Trump’s policies plans to hit Republican lawmakers supporting those policies even harder this week, when they return home for the congressional recess and hold town hall meetings and other functions.

Organizing for Action, a group founded by Obama and featured prominently on his new post-presidency website, is distributing a training manual to anti-Trump activists that advises them to bully GOP lawmakers into backing off support for repealing ObamaCare, curbing immigration from high-risk Islamic nations, and building a border wall.

In a new Facebook post, OFA calls on activists to mobilize against Republicans from now until Feb. 26, when “representatives are going to be in their home districts.”

The protesters disrupted town halls earlier this month, including one held in Utah by House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz, who was confronted by hundreds of angry demonstrators claiming to be his constituents.

The manual, published with OFA partner “Indivisible,” advises protesters to go into halls quietly so as not to raise alarms, and “grab seats at the front of the room but do not all sit together.” Rather, spread out in pairs to make it seem like the whole room opposes the Republican host’s positions. “This will help reinforce the impression of broad consensus.” It also urges them to ask “hostile” questions — while keeping “a firm hold on the mic” — and loudly boo the the GOP politician if he isn’t “giving you real answers.”

“Express your concern [to the event’s hosts] they are giving a platform to pro-Trump authoritarianism, racism, and corruption,” it says.

The goal is to make Republicans, even from safe districts, second-guess their support for the Trump agenda, and to prime “the ground for the 2018 midterms when Democrats retake power.”

“Even the safest [Republican] will be deeply alarmed by signs of organized opposition,” the Obama document states, “because these actions create the impression that they’re not connected to their district and not listening to their constituents.”

“Unfavorable exchanges caught on video can be devastating” for Republican lawmakers, it says, when “shared through social media and picked up by local and national media.” After protesters gave MSNBC, CNN and the networks footage of their dust-up with Chaffetz, for example, the outlets ran them continuously, forcing Chaffetz to issue statements defending himself.

--SNIP-- Michelle and I are going to be with you. I’ve got all kinds of thoughts and ideas about it, but this isn’t the best time to share them. “Point is," Obama says, " I’m still fired up and ready to go, and I hope that all of you are, as well.”

Why don’t they just restrict attendance to those who live in their districts? Obviously, that wouldn’t do much for senators, but it would keep bused in activists from outside red districts from causing trouble.
