Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson Uses His Children as Human Shields at Town Hall Meeting
Monday, August 17, 2009 | Kristinn

The Orlando Sentinel reports Democrat Congressman Alan Grayson brought three of children to use as human shields at a town hall meeting tonight on health care. The Sentinel also reported Grayson found a new way to stack the meeting with supporters.

The paper reported that during a contentious point in the meeting, Grayson told a man to "knock off the bull" and invoked the presence of his children to try to keep the peace at the meeting.

As for Grayson's new way to stack the meeting, the local Democratic party held a meeting in the same room right before Grayson's town hall. They stayed and took up seats in the small 120 seat room.

That’s disgusting. When I walk my dogs, I’m always closest to the road, just to prevent any accidents, etc. I cannot imagine how these people can have so little regard for their own children’s safety. Wild animals have better parenting instincts than liberals, apparently.

So the left is doing exactly the same thing when trying to re write the rules for health care; They are putting the elderly and children in harms way, on the perimeter so that they will be picked off in order to protect the healthy and strong.

The elderly, the children, and those who are not fit for Derr Fuhrer. All the people we should be protecting, as a kind and compassionate society, we are tossing to the wolves. It’s sickening.

I’ve heard John Kerry used to pull this stunt all the time when his kids were young.

Yes, I understood your post and agree, Gene Rayburn was one of the best.

That’s why I said it wasn’t a real match.

I don’t care if they can be recalled. Just the symbolism would be great.

All US politicians should be limited to two terms:

One in office
One in prison

At the Dingell Town Hall, the first five rows were mostly packed with Dingell Supporters, none of which were waiting in line with the rest of us.

Right out of the movie Dead Zone, wherein a psychotic presidential candidate grabs a kid as a shield when gunfire erupts.

OK so he hides, he brings in the paid thugs but he forgot one thing

the majority do not support this and he will be voted out.

all he is doing is getting himself fired
