Obama Town Hall Meeting Bristol Virginia July 29, 2009

[jgarner2069]

Bunch of stupid rednecks.Why do i live her?

[MrFretman6]

@jgarner2069 I don't know, why do you?

[poormanctr]

this guy is just re damn tarted.

[thelaurenmcclellan]

People like this are the reason why I moved.  I understand you have your opinions, but that day people were so disrespectful of anyone else who had a different opinion. I hate Bristol.

[vomit59times]

I'm ashamed of these people. Not everyone in Bristol is so ignorant and close minded.

[instamatic804]

I live in Bristol. I'm ashamed. We're not all this insane, I swear.

[MrFretman6]

@instamatic804

It would be insane to do nothing.

[HigherrConsciousness]

@instamatic804 yehh,, it would be insane for someone to sit on thier ass and not do shit

[JesusIsMyLover1]

maybe these people should read the healthcare bill for themselves, u have choice of ur own doctor.

[MrFretman6]

@JesusIsMyLover1

I do not believe that the health care bill had been public in the form that it is now at that time. I personally have read most of it. Nasty stuff in my opinion, but that's just me and everyone is entitled to their opinion.

[dietsnapple89]

I think these people are patriotic for not wanting to lose their freedoms because thats what America is about, but they are still ignorant and stupid

[MrFretman6]

Geez dietsnapple89 it's amazing that you actually knew everyone there! After all isn't that the only way you could draw a conclusion that they are ignorant and stupid? Oddly, I was there and I don't recall ever meeting you. But hey, you have the right to think like you want. One of the reasons we were there was to defend your right to draw conclusions without facts even if it does make you look ignorant and stupid, Notice I didn't say that you were, only that it makes you look like you are.

[errtennessee]

I grew up there and am proud of folks that turned out to support our freedoms

[SexyAlexis1994]

i only live 30 minutes away. my friend's mom went to go see him but i could really care less about him

[carrolljackson]

Bravo Bristol, Va! We in Dallas applaud your efforts!

My question is: Why doesn't the health care bill allow for individual person responsibility?

[SexyAlexis1994]

well thanks!! i dont live in Bristol but im 30 minutes away!! i cant really answer ur q.

(if u ever came up here, dont go to the Brisol mall. Johnson City is a lot better!!)

[prayfortruejustice]

Good video - great turnout! Keep up the good work.

[7337djm]

theres already enough unfairness in the media

[MrFretman6]

This video was posted to show appreciation and honor the Americans that stood up for what they believe in. If you come here to insult them for this then you will be blocked. If you come here to make honest rebuttals in a civil tone such as stme2008 wrote on Rachel Maddows you tube clip then your posts will stay up. Be respectful to others and they will be respectful to you.

[JoeMomma2002]

I bet Mr.Fretman you and your hypocritical cronies were thumbing your noses at protestors for the Patriot Act, for the Iraq War, and for the bush Stimulus check.

Be truthful Mr.Fretman, you're only whining because it's not a conservative egotistical elitist white male trampling the constitution.

I don't remember ever seeing one of these protestors during the Bush Adminstration blatant disregard for the constitution. Suddenly there are all these fake constitutionalists like Fretman here.

[7337djm]

oh you mean your anti-capitalist friends

[MrFretman6]

Then you were not looking hard enough. The patriot act, the Iraq War and all the Stimulus by Bush and Obama and by all the past bail outs by past presidents were and are unconstitutional. You are entitled to your opinion as long as you remain civil. Your opinion of me matters not in the least to me or others here.

[doctorofghetto]

Nice protest from this video. The TEA party protest in Times Square in early July 2009 was poor because Times Square was "rented" and last for 1 to 2 hours.

[stme2008]

the republicans bussed in protesters hey here is a great clip if you dare watch the truth great you tube clip Rachel Maddow: History Of The Republican's "Thugs

[MrFretman6]

I saw the you tube clip you are talking about. If people were bussed in I did not see it. I was there. I can't speak for every other gathering around the country, but I was there the entire time and never saw but one bus and that was the bus you saw come in on my video. No one on that bus but a few people with that hands off my healthcare bus. If Rachel Maddow is talking about our protest then she's a flat out liar.

[stme2008]

fake protestersthe group paitients united bussed in same people over and over sent by reduds so not really alot lolol all the same same in each state being bussed place to place lol

[MrFretman6]

What? Speak English please! Were you there?

[shellyoil32]

You must have missed the rally where 10,000 attended. That's a lot of buses! LOL LOL LOL LOl duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­u

[sbeltrami1]

Duh!!!! Keep laughing, you will get what you voted for! LOL LOL LOL

[MrFretman6]

I checked this persons site and stme2008 says she has dyslexia in her profile. This explains things for me. stme2008 you have the right to believe what you want to believe but I assure you that no one was bussed into the protest against the health care bill. Rachel Maddow is lying about this as well as many others in main stream media. We showed up because we cared, as well some, a few, Service Union Employees did to because they cared. I am not a republican or democrat, nor many there.

[FMTFXE22]

The people want you to vote NO There is no Global warming But its not about the climate its a ploy by politicians to grab power and tax EVERYONE PENNILESS. Amnesty is wrong, But its not about Amnesty, its about votes to keep you politicians in perpetual power. You liars. No more Stimulus, Stimulus creates debt. Its about power, not a budget. 4. There are not 46 million without healthcare. 65% choose not to be covered AND 20 MILLION are ILLEGAL.

[wavecats772]

God bless you folks for showing up and staying in the rain?

Obama has sunk to a new low; the only gigs he can get are at the grocery store.

[MrFretman6]

yes, it did rain and we stayed, and even more people showed up. Not by bus either!

[AJASNA0709]

these people crazy i wish get someone protest the right way to do and theirs a wrong way do.

[sbeltrami1]

Well hopefully you won't be giving the class "Protest 101" with your use of grammar. Please complain using the correct use of the English language!

[lonhosford]

Way to go Bristol VA. Braving the weather as well!

The British had well kept quarters and the Patriots suffered the weather. Today the Apollo Alliance (Acorn, Unions, Environmentalists) have shelter, food and refreshment provided by you tax dollars being dealt out in Trillions.

Super bus shot.

Virginia time to clean the slate down there. You were one of the original 13, do it again!

[ExZonie]

Virginia throw out the bums in 2010!!!
