Rep. Jim Moran's town hall meeting descended into chaos Tuesday night as protestors clashed -- in one case violently -- with supporters of a broad federal health care expansion, leading the 8th District Democrat to angrily seek to evict some of the loudest demonstrators.
Moran and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean addressed a crowd of at least 2,500 at South Lakes High School in Reston, weathering hours of catcalls and heckling mixed with shouts from supporters.
Outside, a spillover crowd of protestors and counter-protesters shouted slogans at each other. A man in a Cato Institute T-shirt scuffled with a man wearing an Obama T-shirt, punched him in the face, and was shortly after kicked off the property by police officers.
Police said they were seeking to avoid arrests to help keep the crowd under control.
Inside, the scene was just as raucous. Moran -- fuming that his introduction of Dean was met with jeers -- finally lost his temper with the crowd.
"There are hundreds of people in this gymnasium who can't hear [Dean] because of a handful of people," Moran said. "These folks are not from the 8th District, they don't really belong here, and I'm going to ask them to leave."
Moran is a supporter of the $1.6 trillion House health care bill that would create a new government health option. The bill, mired in disputes among Democratic factions, has proved a lightning rod in town hall meetings across America.
The meeting hosted by Moran contrasted sharply to a town hall in Springfield held by 11th District Democrat Gerry Connolly earlier in the day.

Howie’s bad day is coming up on the repeat of Greta in a couple minutes!
Yes, blam. We are fighting back. And it’s having an effect. Good night for now.
Ok, I’ll turn the TV on then. Thanks! And good night.
Actually, if he were wearing a Hoover Inst t-shirt, or nearly any other, it’d be more credible, but Cato? Seriously!
” Outside of a local townhall meeting according to a staff at the local high school, a fight broke out when a protestor wearing a crucifix and carrying a Nazi sign just punched a supporter of the President’s Plan. The Protestor told the Supporter that he had a gun and would shoot everyone because God told him to when he was listening to “Freebird” in his trailer home. An ACORN rep stepped in and dumbfounded the Protestor who burned a cross while leaving muttering about his wife taking his truck. “
You forgot to mention that he was openly fornicating with his grandmother, two nine-year-old boys, a duck and the 1967 Sears catalog while singing Old Testament verses in broken Redneck, to the tune of “Dixie”.
But, of course, everyone would assume that anyway.
Not a quarter mile from my old house. Wish I could have been there. So depressing that we cannot get Mor-on out of office.

this is great..let’s fight
There was a spontaneous laugh from the crowd and then an, aw come on, do you think we are that stupid? reaction. (Would the response be yes for the astroturfers who cheered for the answer?)
There were people coming in from different entrances. I was steered into one door. Unfortunately that door didn't let me see the table with the boxes where questions needed to be submitted before the town hall started. There were 3 boxes: for, against, undecided. Questioners were to be selected from these boxes. So many people in the meeting never even had a chance to ask a question because they were not aware of the question boxes until it was too late. The astroturfers with the pre-printed Obamacare signs all seemed to know about the boxes...
One lady that was chosen didn't even know what her question was. She needed to read it from the paper.
I was at the meeting also, and knew nothing about the question boxes until Moran stated that questions would be taken from the boxes instead of directly from the crowd. It really slowed down the process, since Moran had to read the name of the questioner from the paper and then wait for the person to respond and head for a microphone. After listening to Moran and Dean run their mouths for an hour and a half(at least Dean kept it short), there was little time left for questions.
bump for later

I ended up at Dulles Airport myself. I had hoped to stop by but wasn't able to make it happen. We are stuck with this guy! There was a groundswell against him after his 'jewish cabal-type' reference concerning Iraq and the Dems couldn't take him out in the primary. He's like Pelosi; he makes Dems look bad so that's the one good thing.
I'm so glad I got to see that. Thanks for the alert. Fox said the split was 60-40 with the majority being SEIU and Community-Organized astroturf. Considering Reston is a long-time liberal haven, our side had a great turnout.
Is that like...bring it on!?
Thanks for your eyewitness account. Very telling.
