Look it's a group of senior citizens enjoying socialist Medicare but pissed of that the rest of Americans will get real health care. They are so angry that they are going to give up their Medicare, their VA and Medicaid.
the problem is the left has been employing these same tactics for years,now the right is giving them a taste of their own medicine and the babies cant handle it.
Top White House officials counseled Democratic senators Thursday on coping with disruptions at public events on health care this summer, officials said, and promised the party and allies would respond with twice the force if any individual lawmaker is criticized in television advertising.
From cnn: Bush helps swear in citizens as hecklers shout:
Bush was heckled several times, with some people yelling "War criminal!" One man shouted, "This man has brought fascism to our shores!" About nine people were removed from the ceremony.
"Impeach Bush. Impeach Bush. Amend the Constitution," shouted another protester, prompting both cheers and boos from the audience of about 3,000 people.
Of course way back then, dissent was patriotic. Today, not so much.
Polls indicate that Medicare recipients are happier with their coverage than others. That doesn't mean that everyone is happy with it, nor that it covers all costs.
tadsgirl - I frankly don't care if anyone wants to take my advice, but it is certainly true that the Republican party is growing smaller, more extreme, and less appealing to most Americans. If that sort of thing appeals to you, then stay on the path you're on.
tadsgirl - The margin Obama won by is far more than anything Bush achieved. Heck, Bush didn't even win the popular vote in 2000. And a 365 electoral vote win is HUGE.
Code Pink ALWAYS gets arrested and it's little old ladies wearing pink clothing... you're freakin PATHETIC!!!!! ALWAYS shoving American citizens in "FREE SPEECH ZONES".

mmichaels - You can read the committee versions. If you still think there is a single bill, then I'm sure you will be happy to post the link to it and can explain the newspaper articles about the negotiations going on to produce a draft House bill over the August recess.
house gove has one of 1018 pages. I tried pasting the URL but youtube doesnlt look like it likes the links. It is listed under AAHCA-BillText-071409.pdf
Hey politicsfan do you even have an opinion? I mean seriously You spout the MSM brain washing every post. Do You actually believe what that TV is telling You? I certainly don't because I've caught them lying plenty of times to know they tell me what the elite want me to think. And btw please stop defending these traitors because its becoming pretty disgusting... I am not only talking about republicturds but demoncraps also because they both look out for themselves only.
I love liberals they call people like me selfish. Well I have 3700 a month stolen from me every month due to taxes. So how much do You people give? I am serious please inform us so We can see whom is really selfish. Oh btw I spend 9 months a year out of country to earn that so don't act like I am rich either because I have to live in total crap holes to make sure my family lives in a decent house.
Oh and for the record screw You if You think I'm going to pay another cent.
No there isn't. The Blue Dogs in the House Energy and Commerce committee negotiated with Waxman and one thing they got was that a House bill would not be produced or voted on until after the August recess. Over the break, the 3 House committee bills may get turned into a single bill to be considered by the full House.
We do not want them to vote on them! We do not want government take over of health care. Throw all 3 bills away and just fix the waste, scams and abuses already in the Medicare/Medicaid system. Do not write a whole new bill which will just create more waste, abuses, scams and higher taxes!
They can not even properly run a "cash for Clunkers"program which was a short term program how in the heck will they run a permanent health care program. They can't even run Medicare/Medicaid right.
mmichaels - There is no House bill. There are 3 separate House committee bills -- not one House bill. Your lack of knowledge in this is quite revealing, as are the false and noxious claims about killing the elderly. Without Medicare, a Democratic bill that Republicans fought, most old people who have no health insurance. With Medicare, brought to you by Democrats, old people get health care.
politicsfan - since you insist there is no bill, how can one "check the facts"? Which of the 3 committee bills shall we read? How many pages are in each? Have you read them all?
What thugs! All those nuts disrupting the meeting should be arrested for disrupting the peace and intimidating people. Don't they know anything about civilized behavior? Or about how to conduct a civilized discussion? Apparently not. Shouting people down and trying to intimidate them is not democracy -- it's mob mentality.
Too bad he thought it was going to be a hand picked friendly crowd. His insular life let him forget that there are lots of Dems who actually work for a living and are really tired of being stepped on and ignored by the "Political Class"
mmichaels - The administrative costs for Medicare are far lower than those for private health insurance. Also people who have Medicare (a government health insurance program, you know) are highly satisfied with it. Finally, much of the costs for the public plan would be covered by premiums paid by those receiving that OPTION. I encourage you to look at facts.
gunkadink- I know how painful it is to lose an election. Many do come up with strange claims like yours, but one cannot steal an election when one person so overwhelmingly -- with 2/3 of the electoral votes. If you check the polls, you'll see that support for the Republican party is far, far lower than support for Obama. These rude people only turn people off and undermine the Republican party.
politicsfan....if you are as your name implies...I would suggest you gain a second of education as to what astroturfing is for you are performing the task to a tee....but your do much of dumbarse to even know are ya...oh wait that's right you are most likely getting paid by my tax dollars. You don't work do you? You're in your parents basement aren't ya?
When you can't argue facts or use logic, people make personal comments without concern for whether they are true. You know, that approach undermines your claims as much as being rude and uncivil.
I found the initial question to be very calm and respectful. Only when Dingell said that the government would eliminate waste and increase efficiency did it rightfully cause laughs and jeers. The thought of this beauracracy making something "leaner" is ridiculous.
So then Dingell plays the "rich" card. We all hate those evil rich people right? The meeting gets even more ridiculous when he suggests that 1% of the most well to do Americans will be able to pay to insure hundreds of millions.
Typical. The right has no solutions. So, they shout down any attempt to get something done. Nice work. Now explain your tactics to those who lose their health insurance -- or those who have insurance, but get deserted by their carriers after they get cancer. The odd part is that many of the ones doing the shouting are on Medicare -- which is a totally "socialized" system. The House plan would be much less government-controlled than that.
SgtMike - That's just silly. Rep. Dingell has held thousands of town hall meetings to hear from his constituents. Making excuses for horribly rude and uncivil people is below you, I'm sure. Has it become ok in America to shout at people rather than have a discussion? And if you think this is effective, that is also silly. It will only harden positions of people with whom you disagree and make people on the fence turn against you.
It is quite clear the our so called elected officals do not want to hear from those folks who sent them to D.C. to work for us! I can not blame the folks for getting upset at him, I am also suprised that no one brought any tar & feathers!
"The beast" -- Yes, the people there did behave like beasts, not like mature democratic citizens. And your excuse is that you have not been served. Not served how? I think you are unhappy because you lost an election and, in fact lost it quite badly.
We the people are not subjects to be ruled. We are citizens to be served. These congressmen who are ignoring the will of the people have awakened the beast.
My friends, arguing with folks like politicsfan reminds me of one of my favorite sayings:
Never try to teach a pig to sing. It just wastes your time and it really annoys the pig.
Yes, we DID lose an election -- thanks to stuffed ballot boxes and ACORN and, because REAL conservatives didn't care for McCain, they stayed home. THEY WILL NOT STAY HOME IN 2010 AND 12.
We will evict the Chicago Mob from the White House.
Yes, we lost an election, We'll be DAMNED if we'll lose the country!
I would hardly call a small minority waiting for action alerts on a lobbyist website and then bused in to these event not even in their own district an "awakened beast". Too funny!
Socialism? So are you ready to end Medicare so that seniors can have the same (higher) poverty rates they had before it existed? By the way, what bill are you suggesting they read? If you had been following this issue, you'd know there is no single bill yet. There are 4 different bills from 4 different committees and one committee that would have to produce a bill hasn't done so yet. Oh, and what do you think Dingell is lying about - please be specific.
That it can be paid for by the top 1% of the rich. There is not way that taxing 1% of the people will cover this. We will be all be taxed if not right away soon. Have you never seen your social security taxes go up? Your Medicare taxes go up. Do you really think you will not be taxed to pay for this?
I agree that shouting and hooting is no way to conduct a meeting. Ask good questions that put Dingell on the spot and let him look bad seeing that you are well informed. I disagree that the audience is thuggish but we are tired of being lied to, misrepresented, by congressmen that vote without reading the bills and just want to rush them through before we find out about them. We do not want this, by the worst administration ever, to continue on our path of government bankruptcy and socialism.
Those at the town hall should be ashamed of themselves, shouting and hooting like that. Of course you should voice disagreement, but this sort of thing is rude, uncivil, and thuggish. Most Americans are appalled by this sort of display.
