Southampton Press ^ | 22 July 2009 | Michael Wright

I think we need a Town Halls Gone Wild ping list.

They need to be even more afraid. When they have enough fear to start resigning their positions it will be a good start.

If he's afraid to go out in public then the public needs to go to him. Find out where he lives and track his every move.

These people can run, but eventually they WILL get tired of being chased and will have to fess up!

Here is the link to the video of the event in question.

The man is just as pompous an a$$ as Zerobama is.

He is lucky he made it out of there without being on a rail and with no tar or feathers on him.

The Congressman and his fellow Democrats have been ramming bills down the People’s throats without any Republican input or consideration for their ideas. They’re now getting equal measure for disregarding the People.

Wow! This is wonderful! I have hope—I have REAL hope!

So he’s holding his “public” meetings in secret?

Only a despicable politician such as the overwhelming majority (including Republicans) on Capitol Hill could maintain such a ridiculous farce.

The United States Congress is at war with America.

This is MY prediction (and mine, alone). Turban Durban has just made a statement concerning the town hall meetings (and that was predictable, as always..i.e. If you say something many times, it becomes synonymous(meme)

Anyhoo, I think we will see more and more town halls canceled and BLAMED on ‘right wingers’ or ‘tea party types’ because the politicians will lie about ‘feeling threatened’. THEN they’ll go to the libtard sheeple and say, “Look what they made us do. We couldn’t answer ‘the people’ because we feel threatened.”....which is a LIE, as usual...but the sheeple will lap it up.

Mark. My. Words. Straight out of the libtard playbook.

[Buck W.]

That makes a Stony Brook grad like me proud...

Looks like Bishop got a wake up call from his voters.

[cripplecreek]

Let em say it. After all, the only other option is to bend over and take it.

[KC Burke]

While activism can be a source of some participation, this is just “truth-to-power” as the left has called it for, oh so long.

[spectre]

Why would they fear town hall meetings if they were being good Civil Servants and did what the people (their real masters) elected them to do?

And the 2010 elections are not that far away.

“The congressman can take it,” the longtime aide said. “But when something like that happens, people aren’t going to want to ask questions. We want a forum in which people can share their opinions and share their stories. We all need to be respectful of one another.”

It's not respectful for Government to steal money from hard working people and give it to the people the think deserve it. It's not respectful when a government that has failed to operate medicare, medicaid and social security, failed to protect citizens with border security or basic vote fraud protection, then assures it's citizens that they can operate the health care system better than what we have today - which is by far the most advanced health care system in the world - knowing full well that they can do no such thing. That's not being respectful.

Removing profit from health care is a recipe for terrible health care. As with every other program you already have, get one right and then we'll talk. And while you're tinkering, how about you take the profit motive out of lawsuits? Lawsuits used to be a protection for the little guy from the big guy, now it's nothing more than a shake-down racket with the Democratic party being paid off to look the other way.

Yes, with a true representative you don’t have to always be watching over their shoulders to make sure you’re not being cheated.

Arkansas 1st Congressional District

Just called Congressman Berry’s office to get a schedule of events that he plans to attend during the August recess.
NO EVENTS PLANNED UNTIL LABOR DAY

Do you think he is avoiding us?

How common is this across the country?
