Seems that every time there's a " Town Meeting" ran by a Republican if there is any opposition to there agenda that person is escorted out, Republicans are freedom of speech only when it's there agenda
Debbie W. Schultz voted to cut 1/2 trillion dollars from Medicare, by voting for Obama care.!
Yes....Obama care took out 500 billions dollars from medicare.
Yet ... she attacks Allen West with lies about cutting Medicare.
Then when Allen West speaks up to defend himself, and rightly so. This racist hag runs with her tail between her legs to her liberal female(?) henchmen.
Allen West is a rarity, a man with true testosterone .... unlike the... estrogen driven liberal male
@HUMANSAREBENEATHME Let me guess, you must be a pot smoking redneck/hippie (oxymoron by the way), who still lives in mommy and daddy’s trailer probably barely finish HS or a dropped out, or ghetto good for nothing entitlement asking pot smoking HS dropped out hood rat (mind you a lot flavors comes from the hood) so pick the one that best fit you. You are the house Negro and don’t even know it.
@HUMANSAREBENEATHME Theodore Roosevelt (democrat) considered the hero of many black social program Once said “Nineteenth-century democracy needs no more complete vindication for its existence than the fact that it has kept for the white race the best portions of the new world’s surface.” So the only one suffering from anything is you...You might have OBAMAZOMBIEISM it deadly and the only cure its JOB.
Ask yourself this question: When was the fisrt time a poor man created a job? I bet that you will find life in you own dillusional "human are beneath you" world than you will find an answer to the first question. Dont feel bad or in that case mad at the real world....You should be happy the WORKING MIDDLE CLASS not the WELLFARE POOR CLASS AND WALL-STREET WELLFARE CLASS has paid your rent and your trailer mortgage.
What is fucking funny about this Allen West clown is he thinks he has gravitas. He doesn't. Notice how he doesn't really complete any argument ? He has ASSERTIONS. This is how authoritarian fuckstains like him, and his supporters, think. They make assertions, not arguments, and never cite any facts, evidence, or use any logic to tie it together. The think repeating their unAmerican BELIEFS over and over counts as an argument.
This "protester" was a Liberal Plant -a Liberal Radio Talk-show substitute host who appeared on a Florida local Liberal talk show that very day, railing against Allen West, with the tea******* slur as part of it. She even cited the nasty meaning of the term, referring listeners to urbandictionary d o t c o m to define it. She also falsely claims West was kicked out of te Military -totally untrue.
The woman in front of her is Mrs. Allen West, whom shusses her, only to be yelled at by this twit.
@garwoodv6 This fool is a remnant of the short-lived Liberal Leftist Radio "network" named "Air America" (now defunct. Al Franken aka "Stuart Smalley" on SNL, was another "host" on this failed Network.
Now she does occasional one-day "guest Host" gigs at small-time Liberal talk Radio shows wherever she can drum up a gig. This day she managed to find one in the area of West's congressional district. Her sole purpose is to foment anger via childish name-calling and blatant lies- her work-in-trade
@reaperjd OK- so she lives there too. I'll give you that if it makes you feel better. Everything I said is still true! She's still a liberal hack fomenting anger and hate instead of doing something constructive and behaving in a socially respectable manner.
@garwoodv6 So this would mean that you despise the GOP leaning types who yelled at Democrat town hall meetings. Correct? In fact you must despise them 10X worse than this woman since they even had guides on how to disrupt town hall meetings.
Failure to admit you despise those right wing people far more will prove you're a hypocrite and a partisan hack who really does not stand for anything.
You can confirm this by getting outraged and say what you DON'T stand for.
The meeting was set up to be civil and polite, with question cards handed out to the attendees in advance. The Moderator would read them off and Mr. West responded to them. Very civil and professional. Nothing more than that.
The "protester" was intent on being disruptive and taking the floor at all costs. She wasn't alone in this, there were others doing it too. They couldn't behave, and refused to reconsider their attitude when she had the chance.
@garwoodv6 type this in the youtube search engine:
Congressman Allen West's Town Hall "Fix" Is Fraud
After seeing that you will know that the questions were edited by West's staff and that they lied by saying it was done by a 3rd party.
If you cherish open access to our elected leaders you would know that that is not the way to do things. If you care nothing about freedom you will try to justify such a cowardly policy and pretend it's the norm in a free country.
@garwoodv6 and you were proven wrong about her being a liberal plant. You should admit that you made a mistake to say that. That's what decent people do when they are proven wrong. Are you a decent person? Your answer (or lack of one) will confirm this.
@Scipio2021 You proved nothing. IMHO, she planted herself to disrupt and antagonize a civil meeting with a liberal agenda as her motivation. Listen to the youTube video of her broadcast on the same day. She is a hater, and her object of hate that day AND that evening at the meeting, is Allen West.
This is MY opinion- an opinion shared by many, MANY others. Not yours, obviously.
I own my opinion. You own yours. Quit whining about others' opinions.
@garwoodv6 I didn't prove anything (yet) but you did prove yourself wrong about her being a plant and admit you made a mistake. Failure to do so will prove you're morally defective and that your opinion means nothing, despite any retort on your part.
PS, there's some people that have the opinion that Hitler was a swell dude. I and most other people look down upon those people with good reason and use this as proof that some opinions are worth far less than others.
@Scipio2021 Oh! But you have proven one thing: you are inept and incapable of defending yourself or even making a tangible point. Just another little punk brat "throwing rocks from the sidelines", so to speak. because you cannot participate in any meaningful or intelligent dialogue.
@garwoodv6 and by saying this --she planted herself to disrupt and antagonize a civil meeting -- You must despise those that crashed Dem town halls over health care 10 times as much. I'm betting anything you're going to be way too much of a coward to condemn those town hall crashers that were way more disruptive.
@Scipio2021 We're talking about this meeting and this bafoon of a woman, not any other nonsense you try to inject into the "debate" that only exists in your mind...
@garwoodv6 Wrong, if your opinion had any merit, you would have no problem admitting that the right wingers who disrupted town halls last year were far more disruptive. One who is morally defective will duck the issue and say "that's not the subject" like you just did.
NOW I proved something. I proved you only pretend to care about disrupting town hall meetings when liberals do it as a wedge issue. I proved you're a partisan hack. I proved you have no defined belief system.
Pre-screened questions are a format and not the norm for Allen West. All his MANY town halls have had open podiums but have been hijacked by Islamists who take focus off of domestic issues and instead focus on his stance against political Islam. This man has had more open Town Halls in a few months than a typical congressman has in a whole term. You people are taking this out of context. Literally every Town Hall by Obama has not only screened questions but picked attendants. Do I hear outcry?
Arrested for asking a question? Really?? You ppl really want the police to be permitted to arrest you if they don't like your free speech? Wake up before you're next.
Stupid americans booing a person for being concerned about healthcare. Prescreened questions.....I may be wrong but thats not considered a town hall meeting, its an arranged press event.
Allen West rocks, the woman is an agitator and former Air America Host. Recent Townhall with a Democrat allowed 1 question with no back and forth or ability to respond to liberal congressman's answers. Those who hate conservatives do not wish conservatives to even espouse their views.
Pre screened questions isnt a town hall meeting. Its a Nuremberg rally.
Btw, how insecure are you when you have to have the additional "ThoughGuy" part in your nick. LoL
The only reason Allan West dosent allow a open floor is because he has something to hide and the irony is hes stealing from you and giving to hes m8s while you morons cheer him on.
@Lobos222 My name comes from a long time ago when I bred Fox Terriers. They are ounce for ounce very "tough" animals. My name means nothing, it was created out of thin air with no intent at the time and has never been changed. This is one instance, he has in fact always had open questioning but his town halls have been hijacked by Islamists who take focus from national issues to attack his position on political Islam. To judge this man from one video and assume is the utmost in bias.
@Lobos222 Alan West rocks, do not take this video out of a larger context of his positions. You should be smarter than that and be less one of the herd of lemmings.
ROMNEY'S 2012 PLAN CUTS MEDICARE--Ron Paul’s plan cuts $1 trillion the first year and it balances the budget in 3 years. The plan cuts spending by ending the costly unconstitutional foreign wars, and cuts foreign welfare, corporate welfare, and overgrown federal bureaucracy. These cuts are made so that those who are dependent on domestic spending programs such as Medicare aren’t endangered through a sudden change in benefits. Romney’s plan cuts Medicare, on which many elderly Americans rely.
Yes! Cut Medicare and Medicaid, he was elected by the people, so shut up and accept the reality! Don't blame on him, blame the voters who voted for him because he did not get his position by conducting coup, he was elected democratically. Same thing about Bush! stop blaming on him, blamed the people who voted for him if you think Bush was bad!
@fumiohuang No actually there has never been a vote on medicare or medicaid. They were introduced as very small programs designed to help the truly needy. Since then they have spread the net wide to include untold millions and have greatly contributed to fraud and high medical costs. Before the internet politicians passed whatever they wanted without the knowledge of the public. All good intentions but unrealistic and the path to hell is truly paved with these good intentions. Never been a vote.
Not only is Rep. West a poor example of an American, but he is also a war criminal who dishonored the uniform & deserves our contempt. He will not be reelected, but that doesn't currently help the citizens in his district. Hopefully, whoever opposes him will be worthy of a big fat cash donation from me.
You liberals know good and well that this woman was not arrested for wanting to ask a congressman a question. You know the truth! Stop using all of the propaganda, it doesn't work with thinking people. She was asked to leave politely for being disorderly and disruptive and she became obnoxious. When you liberals learn to respect authority? There is such as a thing as civil behavior. And there is also such a thing as being arrested for disorderly conduct in a public place.
@sonia0865 first of all being partisan in your comment doesn't further your point. Second, the woman had her own video she and her husband recorded that was in greater length, her question wasn't bad and she didn't do ANYTHING wrong in comparison to how people were acting two years ago during the healthcare town halls for Democrats. She had freedom of speech to ask a legitimate question, she asked why she was being arrested, she asked for the cop to take his hands off her. How is that wrong?
You are also spreading propaganda about conservatives showing up at liberals meetings and causing disruptions. show me a video of this occuring. then again, that wouldnt prove anything because it is not beneath you liberal trolls to pose as conservatives just so you can give them a bad name. whatever works for ssum like liberals is free game. All of you are pathetic liars!
Nicole whats her name is not a constituent of Allen West. I am quite sure she didn't vote for him. I don't consider myself a constituent of Barack Obama since I didn't want him there is the first place. He is not my President. Did you not hear her blaming Bush everytime West criticized Obama. People were asking her to be quiet so that they could hear their congressman answer questions that others had submitted. This woman did not want to wait her turn respectfully as did the others.
I have never read such liberal propaganda as I have read here on this forum. Don't any of you have an honest bone in your body. Even if
West had screened the questions (which I am sure he didn't) it is no different than Obama asking questions of those members of the media who were on team Obama. Hypocrites. i\It was obvious this woman only wants to be disruptive. Ya'll are scared b/c here's a real man with integrity who can mop the floor with Barack Obama. This is what a leader looks like!
Does West know what a town hall meeting is? Questions and answers!
If that audience of seniors weren't so ignorant, they would have realized that she was speaking on their behalf.. This congressman is choosing the health insurance over the people who are cheering him. They don't know it, but they will be up shit's creek if this ever gets passed.
@finnsimone If you had listened to Lt. Col West you would understand that he was speaking of making Medicare more cost effective. He said nothing of getting rid of it!
@finnsimone If you had listened to Lt. Col West you would understand that he was speaking of making Medicare more cost effective. He said nothing of getting rid of it!
It's laughable how liberals come out of the walls like cockroaches when a principled gentlemen who isn't afraid of their propaganda stands up and speaks the truth. The truth about the questions being submitted was not so that he could screen them. Chances are he didn't even see or pick the questions. The medicare question was not exactly a softball question. If you had taken the time to listen to his answer, as I did, you would have heard him say, not that he planned to dismantle Medicare.
Do those dumb cunts realize how conservatives acted against democrats at prior town hall meetings? And why not address her? If you're right, you have nothing to fear and all the ammunition you need to make the rebuttal.
Piece of shit politicians, piece of shit cop for doing his bidding.
I'm glad we don't need a law against free speech in order to arrest people for it. Otherwise, macing this bitch probably would have cost that fine and upstanding police officer his job.
@LoryLandskipper So you admit...good for you! Now you need to write a written apology to Congressman West for hating on him just because of his skin color. After that, you need to seek help for your racist beliefs. Maybe you should volunteer at a community center or something. Good luck! I hope one day that you find the ability to accept other races. Have a nice day!
Basic difference between Democrats & Republicans. When Democrats were heckled INTENTIONALLY & shouted down by paid TP activists during the Healthcare debate. Most remained calm, listened to the question, & tried to answer if there was one. If a person stands alone, with a PP presentation behind, metal gates in front, ejects any dissenting questions, & only takes pre-screened questions; it's fascism. The hypocrisy & irony of the Tea Party screaming "Freedom" then choosing fascism is telling
Also ignore the fact that alot these people who are outraged are right wing, conservative, tea partiers as well. These new spikes in outrages at republicans over medicare are mostly right wingers.
@TheCaliCapitalist that's not really true, since their constituents are from all political stripes: Dems, independents, & conservatives. But for the sake of argument, let's agree. The issue now becomes Tea Party folks screaming "Less gumberment dammit, get out of our lives, gumberment can't run anything" during the Healthcare debate, but now screaming "Get your hands off my gumberment run Medicare & Social Security!!!". It's all hypocritically ignorant, sad & laughable
@Bolgernow -- What you fail to understand is that what took place a year ago with citizens all over the country calling out liberal tyrannts was SPONTANIOUS.
The liberals are trying to replicate this through scripted events like this woman.
I seem to recall a liberal politician bitching out a 27 years of service disabled vet because he did not like what the Vet said to him in a very polite manor.
@chicagorose23 Freedom Works, American's For Prosperity, Tea Party Express, & Tea Party Patriots are ALL paid for by the GOP & Republican party PAC's with corporate & healthcare insurer $. All these paid for activists were sent out a meoo by PAC founder Robert MacGuffie calling for people to disrupt town halls & how do do it. Most had ZERO questions, they chanted insults screaming in unison. What planet do you spend your time on?
@Bolgernow -- If you are so blind as to not be able to discern spontanious versus scripted and even more so your comment trying to compare the Tea Party to fascists, then you should not comment before you are able to. Because when you vomit out ignorant statements such as those it qualifies you as a certifiable dumb ass.
@thomaserossi spam someone else with your insane ignorance. News flash, OBAMA, on HIS WATCH, with the amazing professionalism of our Special Forces, GOT OSAMA fart hat. Done! Shove off!
Pre-screened questions? What the fuck? If townhall questions are pre-screened then it's not an actual town hall meeting with the people. It's a partisan circle jerk.
That goes for Republicans, Tea Partiers, Democrats, whoever.
@TerrierToughGuy - Yes, him too. That's why I said "Republicans, Tea Partiers, Democrats, whoever". It's all so phony. What grates me about the Tea Party is they pretend to be more wholesome and grassroots when the movement is on the dole of wealthy Republican insiders who are just Wall Street/K-Street/Washington/Federal Reserve whores like the rest.
@A86 Your insane if you think the right uses tricks like the left does ,i dont remember the tea party smashing there way into any government buildings do you .Ps the left has a nasty habit of facist free speach silencing.
@stevenpaddybwoy - It's a proven fact the Tea Party does indeed use plants like Democrats (who aren't "left" BTW). The Tea Party is just a faction of the Republican Party funded by multi-billionaires like the Koch Brothers and multi-million dollar conservative PACs and former Republican Congressmen like the Tea Party Express and Dick Armey.
Governor Walker (bought and paid for by the Koch Brothers) admitted he thought about inserting plants into the union protester crowds.
@stevenpaddybwoy - Tea Party people don't smash into buildings - they blow up abortion clinics, shoot abortion doctors and shoot up churches over the Healthcare debate. I don't like the Dummycrats any better than I do the Rethuglicans but I don't remember Democrats often having people thrown out for asking questions they didn't like or didn't want to answer back during the 2009 townhall meetings.
@A86 Tut tut ,the leftys DID smash there way into council buildings ,but assuming the people that commited the obortion murder were tea party members is bogus.If your going to slander the tea party as murdering terroists please provide evidence otherwise your just speculating.
@stevenpaddybwoy - It's a fact that the guy who killed Dr. Tiller was connected to the Tea Party and a big Bill O'Reilly fan. O'Reilly had albeit called for Tiller's death for years, calling him "Tiller the Baby Killer" and showing personal information of his and shit.
The guy who shot up a church in 2009 because he believed the government would take his guns away was a Tea Party sympathizer and a Glenn Beck follower.
@A86 Ok vi havnt time to go into this fully but ill take your word as "fact" on those two. You get crazy nuts jobs in all walks of life but it becomes a real concern when they become a movment.
@stevenpaddybwoy - I didn't say craziness or violence is isolated to the political Right. You have nutjobs on all sides. But in the US true leftists are fairly rare (or at least pretty quiet) compared to rightists. Most "lefties" in the US (liberals and progressives) are center-right or centrist on an objective political scale. Still, there have been people actually left of center in American history who have committed violence.
I love how the Tea Party screamed bloody murder that they're supposedly hapless victims of an authoritarian dictatorship (never-mind the fact that chickenshit Obama has bent over backwards appeasing Republicans on almost every bill he's proposed or passed) but the moment they get a little power they silence any public criticism.
Then again most of them voted for Bush. Not exactly a role model of transparent and non-authoritarian government.
What a disgrace. Absolute disgrace. The moment someone doesn't ask him a COMPLETE SOFTBALL question, they are arrested.
And look at all the goons, all the sheep, all the brainless lemming idiots that cheer as this is the America they want to live in. An America where only some people have a voice, and a difference of opinion gets you thrown in solitary confinement.
@sonia0865. You put your finger on it there! He asked them to submit them so he could answer amy questions that made him look good, and leave out any really important, awkward ones. Why ask them to submit questions if his policies were foolproof? There would be no reason to...
She was asking a valid question which he would not answer because allthe others were screened. For asking this question she was escorted from the building by police. Fair?
West supporters will find out just how lemming-like they've been when they start paying $10,000 to $30,000 a year for their parents' healthcare. Republican rhetoric can't withstand the reality of their decisions. Ending Medicare will be the last thing Republicans will "accomplish" for a generation. America won't tolerate losing so much while the super rich are handed the money diverted from social programs. It's just that simple. West will be an FTR, Final Term Republican, for his views.
Yeah, whatever. I guess we saw different videos. The woman would not allow Allen West to answer her question. She was there to disrupt his meeting. Mr. West had asked people to submit questions before the meeting. Why didn't she submit her questions then? It's funny how I see the liberal news media as the propanganda machine. We see things differently
@sonia0865 I couldn't agree more! I'm glad to see that there are others that aren't distorted by all the MSM propaganda. That chick was just there trying to get ratings for her radio show. Simple as that! She could care less about what West was saying...she just wanted attention. And I hate to say, it worked. The hippie bitch made it work. Too bad no one will still listen to her program afterwards...but oh well, she gave it a shot. LOL!
she got arrested for asking a question or trying to ask it. I thought this only existed in public schools, but in the so called real life that they label this ignorance by?
West is freaking awesome just for the mere fact that he drives you loon-liberal RACISTS crazy!!! Just admit it loons, ya'll hate him because he's a black man who has conservative values. It's simple as that. Ya'll are a bunch of RACISTS!
It's sickening to see such bigotry being displayed by my fellow Americans towards a strong black leader such as West. Ya'll probably want to hang him from a tree or something...that's how distorted ya'll's minds are!
Great comment. Displays what level of intelligence you tea partier morons are working with.
The moment someone asks him a hard question, one that wasn't screened, she gets arrested. Meanwhile you tea partiers were JUST LIKE THIS over the health care debate.
Imagine if the situation was reversed. Fox News would be running this 24/7 for a month.
If you can't truly step back and see why YOU and people like YOU are why we are no longer a nation indivisible, you need serious help.
@LoryLandskipper Shut up you RACIST! You hate West just because he's a black man with conservative views...just admit it! Show your true colors. People like you, with your racist views sicken me. For crying out loud, it's the 21st Century. You RACISTS need to realize America is a melting pot, and always will be.
I literally saw the first 3 words, and am now purposely avoiding reading anything else written. I won't let my eyes even glance over it, for fear that it will make me stupider for having read it.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
@LoryLandskipper ROFLMAO! Hearing the truth is something you can't handle! Just take your meds and go back to sleep and leave the adult conversations to us adults...okay!
@deandake well no, actually it's not because he is black. It is because he wants to dismantle medicare, medicaid and social security and has the nerve to put out ads that he is saving it. He proclaimed that he wanted the "free market" to control Medicare. He wants to give you $6000 and let you make your own decisions with your medicare. If you have any idea about the cost of health care in the U.S., that would last you about 3 months and then you can die.
@y2knoproblem because he doesn't have a gun in his hand like when he shot a gun at an innocent Iraqi civilian and got kicked out of the Army with Post Tramautic Stress. The perfect job would be a congressman in Florida
Show me the LAW that says it's "illegal" to interrupt a town hall. Rude? Maybe. Uncalled for? Perhaps. But illegal? I DON'T THINK SO. I wonder how much West paid that cop to arrest dissenters who didn't do that prescreened questions bullshit?
PRESCREENED questions?? How much of a lowlife can you BE as a Congressman? You don't prescreen them like this is some kind of movie studio! THIS IS REAL LIFE! You're the PEOPLE'S rep, not your own.
With all due respect, the arresting her part was going a bit too far, dontcha think? I mean, ARRESTING her simply for interrupting a town hall? Why couldn't he have just escorted her out of the place and had her drive home? That sounds like enough to ME! Besides, haven't people talked out of turn and interrupted BEFORE in plenty of town halls in the past year or 2? What about all the shouting and bullshit with teabaggers at DEMOCRATIC town halls? Why was no one arrested then?
For those of you that claim the police man and Allen West acted correctly in response to the woman....provide an example where a liberal congressman/woman has held a townhall meeting and acted similarly.
Allen West is a coward. Anyone that supports this guy and the teabaggers need their heads examined. He didn't run on this for this office and they duped all of the people that voted for him. Admit it! You all have been duped. WAKE UP!
I guess you and I did not see the same video. I have never seen a member of a tea party crash a meeting of democrats and liberals and act like idiots, ever!
@sonia0865 Oh really, I attended a Rep. Adam Schiff (D) town hall in Alhambra,CA in 2009 where they (conservatives) did just that & then some! It was very scary & the cops were there to literally keep the opposing sides seperated. You must be living with your head in the sand & not getting good info.??
@sonia0865 That is because you probably only watch FOK Views, the propaganda machine for GOP and who is making people's brains into jelly. Nicole did nothing violent, she didn't sport a gun, (like in Tea Party events), she is the one that was handled and pushed, put in jail for 17 hours and MACED! She IS a constituent of this cretin, and she deserved to be there and ask him a succinct question, that is very important to all of us.
@sonia0865 SHE WAS THERE NOT AS A JOURNALIST BUT AS A CITIZEN AND IN HIS DISTRICT. She is a constituent of the moron. Which part of that don't you understand. By-the-way, journalists have a right to vote too, just thought I would let you know.
Oh Sure, if a conservative republican/tea party person disrupts a meeting or dislays a offensive sign they are allowed to stay at the town hall & shout (usually they shout congress members down or display signs with Obama as Hitler or the evil joker) but if Dems or Libs voice their dissent, handcuffs!! Florida is going to the fascists, very sad!
What a bunch of uninformed conservatives we have on here. She couldn't " wait her turn" or "stand in line", because that cowardly uncle Tom was not taking open question from the audience. They had to submit written questions first, and then the hand picked ones were allowed to ask their questions. Obviously, this jerk would only pick the softball questions.
@bombero42 could you explain to all the "uninformed conservatives" the origin of the uncle tom slur? it has been my experience that most people that use that slur (all of whom are on the left ) rarely know what a horriably racist slur it is.
"Uncle Tom is a derogatory term for a person of color who is overly sub-serviant with authority, or a black person who behaves in a subservient manner to white people"
@bombero42 uncle tom is white liberal code for house nigger, dont fool yourself. it is very racist. instead of insulting the man, take him on, on the issues. when you start hurrling racial insults that means you've lost.
@ThePecosdog -- yes, he's a chickenshit as well as a yellow-bellied coward.
People must put their questions on index cards & if they arent kiss-my-black-ass questions they dont have time for them - a true Town Hall would have discussion & debate - this is a joke.
@sonia0865 I guess you weren't around in August of 2008 at my Rep.'s town hall when people from the Teabaggers creamed at him from the moment he arrived to the last minute of the meeting. And nothing constructive like Sandler. Just abuse! Sandler wasn't involved in disorderly conduct (which is only a violation in a public place), and she left voluntarily.
Well, I guess these teabaggers are finally learning not to allow open questioning. Democracy does not sit well with conservative values (e.g. Scott Walker and Daniel Webster "town halls"). Wait . . . isn't West that guy who was allowed to retire from the military after pleading guilty to gross misconduct towards Iraqi civilians?
Look at his supporters, bunch of pathetic morons.

She even cited the nasty meaning of the term, referring listeners to urbandictionary d o t c o m to define it. She also falsely claims West was kicked out of te Military -totally untrue.

Now she does occasional one-day "guest Host" gigs at small-time Liberal talk Radio shows wherever she can drum up a gig. This day she managed to find one in the area of West's congressional district. Her sole purpose is to foment anger via childish name-calling and blatant lies- her work-in-trade

@garwoodv6 So this would mean that you despise the GOP leaning types who yelled at Democrat town hall meetings. Correct? In fact you must despise them 10X worse than this woman since they even had guides on how to disrupt town hall meetings.
Failure to admit you despise those right wing people far more will prove you're a hypocrite and a partisan hack who really does not stand for anything.
You can confirm this by getting outraged and say what you DON'T stand for.

@Scipio2021 I don't get outraged...
The meeting was set up to be civil and polite, with question cards handed out to the attendees in advance. The Moderator would read them off and Mr. West responded to them. Very civil and professional. Nothing more than that.
The "protester" was intent on being disruptive and taking the floor at all costs. She wasn't alone in this, there were others doing it too. They couldn't behave, and refused to reconsider their attitude when she had the chance.

Pre-screened questions are a format and not the norm for Allen West. All his MANY town halls have had open podiums but have been hijacked by Islamists who take focus off of domestic issues and instead focus on his stance against political Islam. This man has had more open Town Halls in a few months than a typical congressman has in a whole term. You people are taking this out of context. Literally every Town Hall by Obama has not only screened questions but picked attendants. Do I hear outcry?

Show me the LAW that says it's "illegal" to interrupt a town hall. Rude? Maybe. Uncalled for? Perhaps. But illegal? I DON'T THINK SO. I wonder how much West paid that cop to arrest dissenters who didn't do that prescreened questions bullshit?
PRESCREENED questions?? How much of a lowlife can you BE as a Congressman? You don't prescreen them like this is some kind of movie studio! THIS IS REAL LIFE! You're the PEOPLE'S rep, not your own.

With all due respect, the arresting her part was going a bit too far, dontcha think? I mean, ARRESTING her simply for interrupting a town hall? Why couldn't he have just escorted her out of the place and had her drive home? That sounds like enough to ME! Besides, haven't people talked out of turn and interrupted BEFORE in plenty of town halls in the past year or 2? What about all the shouting and bullshit with teabaggers at DEMOCRATIC town halls? Why was no one arrested then?

Arrested for trespassing? Townhall meetings are designed to be completely public. Escorted out fine, being arrested is wrong.

For those of you that claim the police man and Allen West acted correctly in response to the woman....provide an example where a liberal congressman/woman has held a townhall meeting and acted similarly.

Allen West is a coward. Anyone that supports this guy and the teabaggers need their heads examined. He didn't run on this for this office and they duped all of the people that voted for him. Admit it! You all have been duped. WAKE UP!

@sonia0865 Oh really, I attended a Rep. Adam Schiff (D) town hall in Alhambra,CA in 2009 where they (conservatives) did just that & then some! It was very scary & the cops were there to literally keep the opposing sides seperated. You must be living with your head in the sand & not getting good info.??

@sonia0865 That is because you probably only watch FOK Views, the propaganda machine for GOP and who is making people's brains into jelly. Nicole did nothing violent, she didn't sport a gun, (like in Tea Party events), she is the one that was handled and pushed, put in jail for 17 hours and MACED! She IS a constituent of this cretin, and she deserved to be there and ask him a succinct question, that is very important to all of us.
DEMOCRACY IS AT RISK HERE.

@sonia0865 SHE WAS THERE NOT AS A JOURNALIST BUT AS A CITIZEN AND IN HIS DISTRICT. She is a constituent of the moron. Which part of that don't you understand. By-the-way, journalists have a right to vote too, just thought I would let you know.

Oh Sure, if a conservative republican/tea party person disrupts a meeting or dislays a offensive sign they are allowed to stay at the town hall & shout (usually they shout congress members down or display signs with Obama as Hitler or the evil joker) but if Dems or Libs voice their dissent, handcuffs!! Florida is going to the fascists, very sad!

What a bunch of uninformed conservatives we have on here. She couldn't " wait her turn" or "stand in line", because that cowardly uncle Tom was not taking open question from the audience. They had to submit written questions first, and then the hand picked ones were allowed to ask their questions. Obviously, this jerk would only pick the softball questions.

@bombero42 could you explain to all the "uninformed conservatives" the origin of the uncle tom slur? it has been my experience that most people that use that slur (all of whom are on the left ) rarely know what a horriably racist slur it is.
gluton4beer 10 months ago
"Uncle Tom is a derogatory term for a person of color who is overly sub-serviant with authority, or a black person who behaves in a subservient manner to white people"
It is not racist.

@bombero42 uncle tom is white liberal code for house nigger, dont fool yourself. it is very racist. instead of insulting the man, take him on, on the issues. when you start hurrling racial insults that means you've lost.

@ThePecosdog -- yes, he's a chickenshit as well as a yellow-bellied coward.
People must put their questions on index cards & if they arent kiss-my-black-ass questions they dont have time for them - a true Town Hall would have discussion & debate - this is a joke.

@sonia0865 I guess you weren't around in August of 2008 at my Rep.'s town hall when people from the Teabaggers creamed at him from the moment he arrived to the last minute of the meeting. And nothing constructive like Sandler. Just abuse! Sandler wasn't involved in disorderly conduct (which is only a violation in a public place), and she left voluntarily.

Well, I guess these teabaggers are finally learning not to allow open questioning. Democracy does not sit well with conservative values (e.g. Scott Walker and Daniel Webster "town halls"). Wait . . . isn't West that guy who was allowed to retire from the military after pleading guilty to gross misconduct towards Iraqi civilians?
