Here is a comment below the video:

It's true, my sister was there and she pretended to be a Castor supporter and was let in @ 5. She talked to people inside and was told they had a bus that had picked them up from OUTSIDE the district!! This woman is a fraud and will vote for Obamas plan because Pelosi will tell her to!! Vote her OUT!! She cares only for her party, not the people she represents!!!

I agree - the Boston Massacre was part and parcel of the Revolutionary war (not the Civil war), but the analogy is a useful one. A street scene escalated way past it’s intended conclusion and the consequences were far reaching indeed.

Angry protesters and strong supporters are clashing inside and all around a health care reform town hall meeting in Downtown Tampa.

Could have been strong protesters and angry supporters clashing. This is biased reporting.

Inside, the townhall seated are mostly union members/supporters/people - yet seats remain empty. Hundreds of citizens outside. And yet public is not allowed in.... . People were prevented access inside to the meeting. Because of this apparent denial of free speech and bias -- and the seemingly blatant sham of a 'townhall' -- many began to shout, some banged windows & doors.

Dems came up with a new way to lie - a townhall by invitation. Can't wait to see how it's played tomorrow...

LOL! Look at the titles of those books on his shelf!

I noticed that, too. This is what "We the People" are dealing with right now. This is a scary time in American history. Mussolini is being reborn.

Were there any Central Florida Chapter members at this town hall meeting? I think there was another one going on in the greater Tampa area also.

We need some first-hand reports.

Possibly. Probably.

I found others that I didn’t post.

They’re all over Craigslist for different cities.

U.S. PIRG is the “employer.”

Does anyone know if U.S. PIRG got an infusion of ObamaBucks?

Looks like the public got locked out of the public meeting.

Well said...

In the future “Tampa” may be mentioned in the same vein as “Ft. Sumpter.”

(I posted this on a couple of other threads, also.)

Here is a screen cap from the video at MyFoxTampaBay. This guy was right up front and his tee-shirt caught my eye. "Union Tough", it reads.

Now, I know it is just an old union slogan, but this guy chose to wear this particular shirt, on this particular night, for a particular reason.

He wanted (or maybe his Union boss wanted) to intimidate people into sitting down and shutting up. Unless, of course, they agreed with the party /union line.

“the story these amateur politicians are using about insurance companies organizing protests shows just how desperate they are.”

It’s all part of the meme Democrats have been pushing for years now, and up until now, IT’S WORKED..

CLASS WARFARE, always blame the Rich CEO, the EVIL corporation, etc,etc.

But many Americans are realizing that those “EVIL CEO’s” give them thier JOBS, and thier health insurance!!
