Rampaging Town Halls

[FOTD]

Nada. Nothing from this board on this outrageous disruption to democracy?

4 days this violence has been going on and this board and this community seems to be quiet enough to be rooting them on in their homes dare they speak out. You do deserve credit for making fun of the birthers in another thread. That was rather white of you.

It's like everybody is in with Dick Armey and his thugs. The threats against this President after 7 months have increased %400 over Bush. Simply an amazing country. The mess in our country is of great concern.

Here FOTD goes again with a cut and paste for your education should you so choose.....

"Conclusion: the Fascist Formula

Here's the emerging American version of the fascist's formula: combine millions of dollars of lobbyists' money with embittered  troublemakers  who have a small army of not terribly bright white angry people (collected over decades through pro-life mass mailing networks) at their beck and call, ever ready to believe any myth or lie circulated by the semi literate and completely and routinely misinformed right wing -- Evangelical religious underground. Then put his little mob together with the insurance companies' big bucks. That's how it works -- American Brown Shirts at the ready. 

What's the results of the fascist formula for the rest of us? Well, think how this "method" worked against Dr. Tiller's abortion clinic and how that story ended. In this case a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to save our economy from going bankrupt because of spiraling health care costs may be lost, not because of a better argument, but because of lies backed up by anti-democratic embittered thuggery. The motive? Revenge on America by the Old White Guys of the far right, and greed by the insurance industry.   


"What Can Be Done?

It's time that this whole shabby (and insane) business be exposed, vilified in run out of town on a rail by whatever responsible Republicans -- if any -- that are still in the party and who want to see the fortunes of their party revived. Republican leaders taking insurance industry money via lobbying firms and using it to organize what amounts to roving bands of thugs not only need to be exposed but thrown out of the public debate forever.  They should become absolute pariahs. 

It's time to give this garbage in name: insurance industry funded fascism."


FOTD chooses democratic socialism over fascism.

Remember Murrah. Stomp hate out at every turn. Hate talk radio fuels the anger that lights the fire that leads to violence. Ask your Senators and Congressman to step in and put a stop to this insanity.

This cartoon is funny. Can you tell why?

We're the reddest of the red states! We deserve to be in that cartoon depiction of the CSA! What? Ignored by our brothers in the revolution after giving them two senators and a host of state legislators?! Is there no fairness anywhere?

The war wages between MSNBC and Fox over the t-baggers and their latest effort to neutralize the democratic process. I can't watch both, though Morning Joe does a pretty good job of distilling Fox stuff. Apparently, they want us to believe this is a swelling of the masses rather than oil and medical interests paying for partisan hacks who bald face lie on camera and physically bully anyone who dares try to participate like its not a fixed town hall meeting. And for heaven's sake...the're all white folks! Is this why all of you thought we needed more time to "analyze" the health care proposals?

Ironic that ultra conservatives and tin foil hatters thought we would lose our country to creeping Socialism/Communism/Hedonism/Atheism/ Hippies etc. Turns out its angry, middle aged white boomers partnering up with greedy corporates, Republican extremists and abortion activists. And the battle isn't even drawing much interest.

Yes.

Darwin's theories was not a white paper.  He toured and visited many placing collecting the information on the organism of species and their collation of the originator of the species.   Later two men in further studies of the genetic spiral isolated the DNA factor which furthered stamped a specific individual numbering of the strains of the origination of the organism.  Most of the studies that have been conducted point to Africa as the source of where the organism call man appeared.  As further studies become available and the DNA is expanded within the genetic spiral there is a possibility that the white race is a offspring of the black race by the originator of the species.  As the species moved northward and becoming clothed it would bleach the color of skin.  So it could be we are offspring's of the black race.

If one places their selves in a time frame when the writers of the constitution was formulating the article that includes "Natural Born" in the future could be extended to include all islands or other possessions under US control even though such person was unfamiliar with the process of establishing a nation ?

In reality, it always has been, at least all throughout the twentieth century.

1) Playing politics with politics isn't a disruption of Democracy.

2) The protesters are either:

A) Honest citizens expressing their views in a passionate, albeit inappropriate manner.  Which is better than the typical apathy.

or

B) "Operatives" sent from the dark side to disrupt the town hall meetings.  In which case they should be ignored so their purpose is thwarted and they go away.


I'd prefer civil discussion, but an Asian style Democracy is better than apathy ("Asian style" as in Japan, Korea and Taiwan where there are crowds of people all hyped up about issues and speaking out).

Our POTUS once made his PROFESSION as a self-proclaimed "Community Activist".

Meaning, a Community Agitator for an ACORN affiliate.  Later, as an Attorney for ACORN.

He was actually in INSTRUCTOR in the Saul Alinsky "Rules for Radicals" method of community agitation, teaching other ACORN-Affiliated Community Agitator leaders how to employ the Bolshevik techniques of Saul Alinsky.

The techinique employs screaming, shouting, shoving, pushing shock-troop, IN-YOUR-FACE confrontation with any legal authority, institution, or establishment that got in the way of their brand of community agitation and their radical agenda.

Just as Candidate Obama directed that his disciplined disciples to attack his opponents last summer, to "get in the face" of his opponents.....did he not??

Is this now not a case of the Pot calling the Kettle black.....?

In watching videos of these townhall meetings, it appears that a goodly number of the attendees are Senior Citizens concerned about their future medical coverage under Medicare.

And, as retirees, they have the time to attend these meetings.

These senior are rightly concerned as to exactly how Obama proposes to SAVE $500 Billion in Medicare over the next 10 years.......

Rationing?

It certainly won't be from greater government efficiency from a Single Payor System.

A Single Payor ObamaCare System will have all the efficiency of the U.S. Post Office, and all the compassion of the I.R.S........

In which a black man is called a 'n!gger' and beat by the nice people advocating for health care 'reform.'  And all he was doing was selling 'Dont tread on me' flags!

Yep, sure looks like those pesky rethugs are out there bullying people.

As a note, I do not know has the shortest memory, FOTD (noted coward and Obama shrimper) or Waterboy (Head Obama spooner). Jeez, have you forgotten about Code Pink and their antics with military recruiters? How about those "God Hates Fags" dems protesting military funerals? Oh, and, another on the hit parade, Code Pink waiving their "blood soaked" hands at Condi Rice and protesting at Walter Reed where our injured soldiers convalesced.  And there's this from last year at the RNC:

[youthttp://www.metacafe.com/watch/1702379/violent_democrat_protesters_being_arrested_at_2008_rnc/ube][/youtube]

But when dems are protested and they wind up stepping all over their collective d!cks trying to paint the protesters as angry mobs, but heaped glory on that Iraqi jerk who  threw his shoes at then-President Bush. Could you imagine the bed wetting and howling some douches on this site would display if someone dared throw a shoe at the apologist-in-chief Obama? Oh, that's racist, just like Obama depicted as the joker! Nevermind that anti-Bush folks did the same to him, President Pantywaste must be left alone. Hey FOTD, I said "Chris Crocker, please pick up the white courtesy phone", not you.

It's really sad, when the Speaker of The House calls citizens un-american for voicing their opinions about the health care reform bill. I seem to remember that we are afforded the right to free speech by the constitution (Or are they in power using that for toilet paper now). Granted some of the protests are getting ugly, but it's about damn time that the people of the US start showing some b*lls and letting their representatives know that we are tired of getting the shaft. Should be interesting next election cycle.
