  • Townhall mobs?! WTF?! Compare the Tea Party Protests (politically conservatives\right wing) vs. Occupy movement (liberal\left wing) arrests. Left wingers are usually cursing, endangering their children and damaging property.

  • Public sector unions have destroyed California.

  • The Union Thugs beat up a black conservative in Missouri. It is out of hand Cenk? When are you going to call for these thugs to be held accountable. A man attacks a Nathan Tabor and his family in Wichita at a TEA Party rally. Yes the man did defend his family so lefty loons don't try to justify the lefty attacker as misunderstood.

  • @mueygringo no he is not because Cenk is a populist, partisan prick.

  • With all the rules and regulations regarding workplace discrimination, workplace safety, minimum wage, OSHA, child labor laws etc. Why do some folks still say we need unions? I mean really what purpose do they serve during this day and time other than to make Unions richer?

  • @gadawg363 ACORN and SEIU could care less about what you Tea Bagger morons believe.

  • You're worried they'll clash? You idiot, of course they're going to clash. The media will portray the town hall protestors as right wing nut jobs and will not report on the brutality of the Union protesters. Classic liberal bias at work again.

  • The town hall protesters ARE right wing nut jobs. That is an unprovable fact, primarily because they are being scared half to death by... you guessed it, RIGHT WINGERS! It's not like some liberal is out there pretending to be Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck claiming that your grandma will be on a "death panel", that Obama is a socialist and the government will be taken over. Right wingers are making this stuff up. By the way, when have Union protesters EVER committed violent acts? Evidence, please.

  • @GstateBALLER925 Did you just say that Unions have never used violence in protests? Are you for fucking real? These folks invented skull cracking and using baseball bats to thwart anyone crossing a picket line. Unions are the reason we don't manufacture anything in this country anymore. Evidence? GM, Chrysler, Steel industry, etc.....

  • @krblizzard WRONG!!! Business owners paid off thugs to crack skulls of Union organizers who were tired of being unfairly treated. Learn your American History.

  • @MoDans What world are you from? Look our business is expanding up north at this very minute. I have never been through a process more corupt and full of absolute bullshit in my life. Unions are nothing more than pure extortion. You are the one that may need a history lesson.

  • @krblizzard I'm from America, and I've studied history, I have a Business Degree, and I know the history of business dealings with the Unions. The Unions made this country livable for the American worker.

    Our businesses are going global, not going north. Our colleges are educating foreign students who take their Higher Degrees back home to places like New Delhi.

  • @MoDans Really? Well maybe you should consider why these students are going back to New Delhi? Could it be that India has a more pro business stance than some of the places in the US. We in the US had better come to the realization that we are no longer producers of anything. We can't survive being a consumption state. With all the regulations that we have abide by and having a very anti-business President, we are at the disadvantage. As far as a degree UNC- Kenan Flagler MBA class of 85',

  • @krblizzard If you really had a business degree, you would recognize that we are now a service-based economy. And , as you stated, we cannot survive as a country unless we can return to a production-based economy.

    If I remember correctly, businesses left this country PRIOR to 2008, so your anti-business Obama argument holds no water.

  • @MoDans I'm confused are you agreeing with me or disagreeing? I simply stated that we can't survive as a country which produces less and less and I don't really care who was in the White House when companies started leaving this country. I would estimate it was around the time the idiot NAFTA program was put into place. The fact remains this is a very anti-business president with a very anti-business agenda. Oh and service based economy? Name a super power with one of those?

  • @krblizzard I agree that we must be a product producing nation to survive economically. I also agree that NAFTA was poorly planned and researched.

    THAT should have been the reason for impeaching Clinton, not getting a BJ. I liked Clinton, overall, but NAFTA was the single, most rediculous program to come from his administration. I cannot deny that, since I have a business degree.

  • @MoDans Clinton was most likely the the most effective President we ever had. However, the only thing keeping our economy afloat during the roaring 90's was the tech boom. When the tech bubble burst we were left with carnage on wall street. When all the money started moving into Hedge funds which were based on housing pricing continuing to rise you get what we have today. I'm republican however, I will say that Clinton was the best politician of our time. He just has a very odd taste in women.

  • @krblizzard Yes, the Tech Boom was the greatest driving force for our economy. If the US, Canada, and Mexico wanted to enter into a European Union-type agreement to incerease negotiating power, more planning was needed. More time should have been spent to balance the three economies and possibly agree on a common currency.

    Also, you are 100% currect on his taste in women. I mean, the leader of the Free World chooses Monica Lewinsky for a BJ? He must have had his eyes closed the whole time.

  • Another classic example of what Vladimir Lenin, Mao & Ho Chi Minh, called "useful idiots."

    BTW all those UNION PURPLE (SEIU) and Commie RED shirts (ADAPT) (Brown when mixed) are the only ANGRY MOBs bussed in that I've witnessed.

    MAINSTREAM AMERICANS from all parties are mad as hell about OBAMACARE.

    Not only will it ruin our healthcare system, it's a lie and unconstitutional (as written).

  • Getting 51 instead of 60 is a good sign? That is not a good sign, that is a show of bullying and manipulating the actual ways senate is supposed to be run. If they get the 60 then fine, but to flat out change the way in which the voting process is to take place is a slap in the face to the process. 2012, let's not count Texas during the Presidential ballot because they may not vote for Obama either. I know 51 is for budget and this does not fall under strictly a budget plan.

  • BostonDFi, the filibuster itself was originally manipulating the way the senate is supposed to run.

  • This guy, the young Turk is as DUMB AS A ROCK!

  • The liberals and socialist are can't stand the truth...Las Vgas paper let Harry Reid know where they stand with his "hope you go out of business" statement. Nancy Pelosi, H. Reid, Obama their comments of the town hall meeting calling those that disagree with policies as unAmerican and a list of other names need to be out of office now! Guess the 1st ammendment don't mean anything to them. Why support socialist/communnist polices, those of you on the left?

  • "The liberals and socialist are can't stand the truth"

    Learn english before you try to argue.

    Socialism is when the government owns all of the countries resources. You must be thick in the head if you think all the resources are owned by the government.

  • Don't worry about the mobs.

    Obama's proposed 'Civilian Army' is going to take out the mobs.

    How dare these Americans question Big Brother!

  • This guy is a moron. It's ACORN and SEIU that bus people in. We "mobsters" drive our own cars to these events. There is enough opposition in every city that we don't need to bus anyone in.

  • @gadawg363 ACORN and SEIU bus people into cities where the town hall meetings occur? Really?

    You Tea Baggers are so unorganized, you shout each other down over unrelated issues.

  • "Excellent sign of strenght" means 51% of the people controlling the other 49%, by the way, that is truly democratic.

    But the United States is NOT a democracy, it is a Constitutional Republic.

    Unfortunately, in the past decades neither republicans or democrats are respecting the contract the general government has with the people, called The United States Constitution. That's when the mob rule starts.

  • thats because of the two party NEW WORLD ORDER SYSTEM.. LIES,SMILES, PATS ON BACKS, AND ARROGANCE KEEP THEM IN CONTROL, AND US AS SLAVES TO THEIR CAUSE. TROOPS ARE STILL IN IRAQ, AND AFGHANISTAN,WE ARE GIVING AWAY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO OTHER COUNTRIES, PAYING FOR STIMULUS PACKAGES THAT DID NOTHING. KENNEDY REALLY UT THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN WHEN HE NOMINATED A MARXIST SOCIALIST. GO TO GOOGLE AND CHECK OUT A NAME , WILLIAM H TAYLOR,A SOVIET AGENT.HIS CODE NAME WAS ACORN..GET IT!!!

  • Of course the Constitution created a Republic, but it also put forth the democratic process to select the republic's represtatives, and conduct the business of the republic. For all practical pyrposes the UDA is a democracy. Mob rule has been with th the USA at the start, and will always be with us.

  • I'm not sure in what way you mean minorities haven't been constitutionally protected? There are absolutely no mentions of fiscal policy in the constitution. As far as I know there has been no mass violation of constitutional rights by the government under Obama's presidency.

  • Democracy with the unions? Give me a break! Union taking dues from Republicans workers and supporting Democratic candidates! 40% of all Union workers are republican. The unions are using that money to bus hecklers to these town hall meetings

  • Cite your source for the statistic above that states 40% of union members are Republican. I'll just bet you can't! I'll be civil and give you the benefit of the doubt by waiting to see where you got this statistic before I go any further. Sidenote;

    My favorite Statistic is, 78% of all statistics are made up on the spot. My gut tells me the aforementioned statistic falls into that 78%. We shall see!

  • Union bosses are greedier than Insurance companies!!!! It is time for the Unions to RIP. They once served a purpose, they no longer do!!

  • It turns out that the SEIU is printing signs and handing out purple "Health Care Voter" T-Shirts to buseloads of PAID astroturfers to support Lord Obama's healthcare proposals.

    Just google "SEIU Astroturf." There are videos showing the buses. In one case SIX bus loads of paid "protesters" were brought in by SEIU.

    I'm so glad I'm not an idiot liberal Ozomnie. Obama is a pathetic joke.

  • FEMA ARE GETTING THE CAMPS READY!

  • You can apply for a job, as a detaining officer on the national guards website, if they are hiring people, that means they are getting ready to use them.

  • the shit is going to hit the fan!

  • You're an Idiot!

  • Door knocks....

    Homer Simpson: Who's there?

    Muffled Voice: Union goons.

    Homer Simpson: Who?

    Muffled Voice: Hired union goons

  • According to this guy subverting the democratic process and abusing Presidential power is an 'excellent sign of strength'????

  • What an ass !!

  • Cenk wow union mobs ..tell us what unions are backing their members actions ..come now spew out some real information ..where did you get the information that unions ( you group all unions together while not stating any specific unions or members ) are backing the obama healthcare ..where are you getting this information ? this has nothing to do with unions .. This has more to do with diverting attention from the main topic of fair health care for all .

  • I really don't see the issue with the healthplan reform. :\ Nothing I'd be mobbing against...

  • It's totally against my nature and all - but I kind of hope the unions wipe the floor with the right wing morons (and then Obama can push the bill through anyway LOL)

    That would hurt, wouldn't it? ;0)

  • This guy has guts!!!!! Wake up America!! Do the same, exercise the right to bear and keep arms WITHOUT TAXATION!!!!!!! The communist/ socialists want to tax Your right to do whats afforded to you by our constitution. With out guns in the hands of private LAW ABIDING Citizens The elite party will strip you of your right to freedom don't ever forget that its about control over the average citizen Call your Congressman /Senators all conservatives must start and keep doing this now!!!

  • 180turnaround,

    Take your meds.

  • to all UNION THUGS it is against the law to spit on people or hit them. I realize many of you are rather basic in nature. but if you hit or spit or strike a c4l person you are braking the law. who is the mob?

  • Why are there still unions around?

    I thought Federal Laws made them obsolete decades ago.....

    Guess thats politics, congress members from both parties are still pushing cold war weapons out in order to keep the money flowing into their (and out of our) districts.

  • What the unions are saying is this: "We need to shut these 'paid nazi mobsters' up with whatever means necessary."

    The dems are resorting to personal attacks on the very people they work for. Would you keep your job if you called your boss a Nazi or an angry mobster to his face? I don't think so. It is our duty as Americans to throw these crooks out.

  • Modern unions have become a mockery of their original purpose. The right to unionize was to prevent employer tyranny, but now the unions themselves have become the tyrants. Employers with unions do not have the power to run their business properly. They often have to fire the engineers and hire cheaper, unskilled workers to pay to sit around, just to meet the union's employee quota when business is down. No engineers = bad cars. These people want things handed to them, just like the baillouts.

  • For reals?? Looks like Obama just caved. Public option out! LMAO Oh maybe you should mention Obama's plumiting poll numbers gasp! Now that's more crazy then any conservative yikes!

  • st. louis mo union jerks at claire mckaskill town hall union assholes in ugly purple shirts attacked some guy and one of them hit a female

  • Then they robbed a bank and ate babies-white ones! And then they all worshipped satan and grew bat wings....

    tonylee,

    The guy is a faker and a poser. Give it a rest. If thats your best claim against Union Thugs, you lose bad.

  • google claire mkaskill town hall. you will see union guys commit battery. also google new hampshire union town hall and spitting

  • tonylee a good way to stop these thrugs is to carry wasp spray to these meetings.  The spray is quite accurate at 12 ft. And the thrugs will have to be taken to the hospital to receive the antidote.

  • hadn't thought of that.

  • i'm like a steelworker, i kill what i eat

  • If they are being shipped in by health companies why would they fight the unions. I'm pretty sure I would avoid a fight for something I supposedly don't care about. Great propoganda though Im sure your listeners love it.

  • Dianne Finestein stood before news cameras and boasted that she had voted for Bush's $700-billion bailout even though 85,000 of 90,000 emails she got from her constituents implored her NOT to vote for it! She said "they just didn't understand"!

    THAT's when I decided that most of these worthless politicians must be possessed, and should be thrown unceremoniously out of their gravy jobs! Get rid of all of these fakes that arrogantly think they can have a life-long career screwing over the U.S.

  • no the unions are violently attacking people. They attack members of the c4l. The unions can go fuck themselves. They are less than apes.

    "Thats the Union way."

  • Tonylee when and where asshole

  • Yes, just like the busloads that ACORN is and the SEIU THUGS that are being bused in! Oh yes, the Socialist Obama will force his Change down our throats whether we like it or not! Every Democrat I know, which is everyone I know will never vote for the LIAR Obama again!

  • socialist? really?

    so what is social security?

    if your against socialism, your against social security!!!

    how can healthcare bankrupt an already bankrupt america?

    social security gone by 2037 or sooner, medicare by 2017...

  • you know Fox is not on the level right? England and Canada are socialists. You sound like a cold war relic. Are you old?

  • Canada is a mix of Socialism and Capitalism.

    Free Market system with social programs. Works pretty well

  • Im going to sound like a right winger after this second comment posting, but my uncle has 90% blockage an artery, and Canada won't treat him so I'm having him flown down here to have one of my friends do a bypass, because canada said with his age and his not dire situation that he would be on a waiting list projecting he gets the treatment in a year and a half. It might be working well for everyone else but my uncle and his family are the only Canadiens I know.

  • Not at all. You don't sound like one.

    I have said this before, no system is perfect, but for critical care surgery, i am shocked they said this. That's actually against the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. What Hospital?

    My father has a similar issue and i have mentioned it on youtube before. He needed quadruple by pass at 76 and he got the surgery right away.

  • He was told because a 90% blockage at his age was not an immediate threat to wait which I found ridiculous so I have a friend who can help him out but still I find his situation pretty crappy. I have no idea what hospital, since he was put in contact with me through another relative.

  • such ignorance

  • Fact our GDP or Gross domestic product in Feb. 2007 our GDP was 13.5 trillion

    our debt was 8.7 trillion our national Debt is now 10-10.5 trillion and GDP is about 14.2 trillion when the Debt beats out the GDP we all lose.

  • are you still complaining about spending all that money "looking" for WMDs

  • No but only because there is a new stupid in town. This idiot spent 1 trillion in 3 months. Talk about an ass hole.

  • Fact Cenk and other members have been paid 3 million dollars to keep up the good work by george soros.

  • Yes, soros will make millions on providing everyone with universal healthcare, but I'm still devising a right wing nutbag conspiracy theory as to how???

  • Here is a question for you Cenk. If the majority of people do not want it and they pass it anyway how many Dems will be elected in 2010, 2012? HMMM not alot

  • Too bad none of that is true, unless you live in Rupert Murdoch's imaginary world LOL

  • Nope I live in my own world you know the real one.

  • And we all hope you enjoy this "real" world you have and refuse medicare, universal healthcare, social security, and unemployment benefits. because they don't come from your "real" world. enjoy!

  • I used to work at Ford Rouge Plant in Dearborn, Michigan. If you've never been an auto worker and never been in the union, then you need to do one thing:

    SHUT THE FUCK UP - BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

  • Union thugs bleed just like non union people bleed.

  • You mean health care industry nonsensical paid mobs

  • Unions are the biggest reason the auto-industry went bankrupt in the first place. Too many rules dictating how many employees they can have, hours, salary, strikes. Combined with a legacy of poor engineering, and democrats passing "green" legislation they can barely pass, they could no longer compete.

    Unions, however, are the tstronghold of the democrat party, hence the baillouts just for the heavily unionized auto industry with our tax dollars. Now they want us to pay for their healthcare too.

  • The problem that happened was that there were to many brands hosted by GM and all the other car companies that were bent on profit and didn't want anything to change with the times. What does that mean? Well, it means things moved on without them and they went out.

  • Yes, the corporate execs at GM are practically begging for food now because of the wealthy union fat cats.

  • the auto industry went bankrupt because they teamed up with the bush administration and killed the electric EV 1 car, killed any fuel efficiency standards and invested big time (backed by the bush administration) into huge SUVs.

    GM said that they don't see a future for hybrid cars and then they invested a $billion into hummer. that was 2003. 5 years later hummer was bankrupt and hybrid are super popular

  • The idea that republican are "busing in" angry mobs is 100000000x more hilarious than the Birther conspiracy.

  • I will point you to footage of BUSSED in republican mobs during the 2000 and 2004 election where some of these "grass roots" participants are identified as GOP staffers, lobbyists, and others admit to being paid for their service.

    DENIAL

  • where is the beef. You know the evidence?

  • you still amaze me how stupid you really are, like the union is going to be able to stop us. The rights of Americans have been bought in blood and so it will be kept in blood if the need comes. Try and pass this bill that America doesn't want... something this serious and a revolution will be at hand. Time and time again our rights and voices are ignored, if Bush had tried this crap you wouldn't be singing this tune, I was there fighting Bush and now its just a new face to an old game. Semper Fi

  • watch?v=ts5siyBYddM&feature=re­lated

  • watch?v=9vly7hl4FrY

  • watch?v=w5IInBP9D_s&feature=re­lated

  • This is not about right or left. These are people that are not voting or most of them. The government takeover has got them of the couch and they are coming in numbers (you may have awaken a sleeping giant) and the unions are the ones starting trouble at the meetings. Some of congress might not have a job in NOV 2010.

  • we got to do what we got to do...we asre coming for them to..and we are not a bunch of old fat fucks....unions try to intimidate free speech and they are gonna get fucking crushed

  • So he pushes this through without Republican support and if the Republicans take over even one House next year... let alone both being the numbers are so close... Obama shoots himself in the foot and becomes a lame duck President... very wise thing to do isn't it.

  • I would like to see you post a follow-up video to this where you condemn the SEIU for beating the crap out of an ordinary citzen selling flags last Thursday night. No right wing bused in mob, Only left wing bused in union thugs.

  • Liar. That guy wasn't beat up.

  • Comment removed

  • So, what is so bad about cheaper health insurance by collective bargaining? You can always opt out and keep your more expensive health insurance. Denying other people the choice for cheaper care is un-American.

  • Oh fuck you asshole Young Turks, you filthy socialist fucks

  • Thank you sir, for participating in the Democratic process.

  • You are wrong. He will get this done by ANY MEANS NECCESARY. Have you read the bill?

    I have watched some of your other videos as well. You are an articulate hack, nothing more.

  • Have you read the bill? As CNN Money reported, you will lose 5 key freedoms:

    5. Freedom to choose your doctors

    4. Freedom to keep your existing plan

    3. Freedom to choose high-deductible coverage

    2. Freedom to be rewarded for healthy living, or pay your real costs

    1. Freedom to choose what's in your plan

    Obama keeps talking about his plan, but hasnt actually put one forward. If he supports HR3200, He is lying about EVERYTHING in it. If He has another plan, WHERE IS IT?

  • Not sure were the bus load of mobs are. If they were out there every out there the Obama press would have it on every network. Its the Unions bringing bus loads and its the Unions that are starting physical fights. Average Americans voicing there own views and Unions having to be told what bothers them? This is bill is about power, not Health Care.

  • The main goal of these disrupters is to kill health care reform, not debate it, not refine it, not find a middle ground, just kill it. The Unions want it pass before congres vacation.Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services, talked about her weekend experience in Philadelphia where a loud and vocal minority tried to shout down her and Sen. Arlen Specter during a town hall on health care.

    Their intent is not to have a conversation. Their intent is to stop the conversation

  • Believe or not, but there are people out there who disagree with your viewpoints, and they have intents and purposes other than to upset you.

  • Turk huh? You sound more like a zionist turk.

  • I don't believe the people who stand up in the meetings are bused in.

    The unions are busing people in, that's what they do.

    The discontentment throughout the country is legitimate and I don't blame them.

    Why do you guys pay such high taxes? So much money is wasted!

  • well people do tend to get organized when motivated, and your health is your life, pretty good motivation. these are regular people, the claims that these are paid republican plants are just idiot libs grasping at straws. could it be the people just dont want this? why the big hurry? why cant we slow down and talk about it? lately its always got to be done right now with everything? thats not a democracy. rep or lib this is your health at stake we should slow down and read any proposals.

  • townhall mobs gimme a break!!!!!! the union people are the mobs. how many ppl have the union attacked in the last month compared to the right wing protesters?!?!

  • WATCH OUT!!

    I saw mobs of grandmas viciously beating up the burly union thugs!! Disgraceful!! They even had the nazi signs and swastiks all over their bodies!! Just like princess Pelonazi said!! The old verterans beat them to near death with their canes, and nawed at them with their dentures!! Somebody please help the poor defenseless congregressmen!

    OH THE HORROR OH THE HORROR!!

  • You mean the "grandmas" that take shotguns to so called "townhall meetings" and scream that they want to kill Obama?

    You fail.

  • No not them. The other grandmas!!

    But these grandmas are pretty pissed, eh?

  • Mobs!? MOUAAHAAAHAHARF! LOL! Have you ever check out one of these "mobs" for yourselves? Those protesters are the most peaceful "mobs" I've ever seen...

  • considering the shitty ass media commentates during these mettings instead of letting audio roll with video. then goes to commercial break every 2 minutes, not even showing any q&a . then turns around and calls people who have read the bill mis informants and let random ugly bitches read off a screen be the credible ones.

  • What a lapdog for the commies this guy is. Go back to N. Korea.

  • Clean out the lobbyists, the corrupt politicians that fill their pocket with their money, clear out all the think tank members lining presidential admins. Then maybe lets see if a capitalist, free market health care system can work.

    Special interests are cashing in on government socialization - Think about it. You think Waxman and Rangel sat down and wrote all 1017 pages of that bill themselves? lol!

  • I am a former U.A.W. and Teamster union member, and all I can say is:

    GOD BLESS THE UNIONS!!!

  • Nice work on running our Auto industry into the ground!

  • First off Mr Agnostic, we union workers did not "run the auto industry in the ground". You should think before you open yer yap!

    Many stupid Americans bought gas-guzzling SUV's, instead of more efficient cars. The auto industry gave you what you wanted. Plus, except for Ford, most of the c.e.o.'s were the ones who missmanaged day-to-day operations.

    We at the U.A.W. worked our asses off to give the public a quallity car......Think before you speak!!

  • Your Leaders are THUGZ!

  • Our leaders are not "thugz". Labor leaders were NOT the instigators. The instigators were/are these semi-literate, inbred, non-thinking tools of Fox News & the healthcare  industry.

  • Right...

    Unions without Mafia/Mob ties? RIGHT.....

    Nice try there Fat Tony

  • Like a child, everyone else's fault but your own, the leaders, the public etc. Worked your asses off? GM workers had a gravy job for how much they got paid when compared to other American workers. I knew several GM workers who would be clocked in while mowing their lawns, and also got paid while they were taking AA classes for being drunk at work! ha, but yeah you guys worked your butts off...

    It was almost impossible to get fired.

  • Gee. I guess the cars built themselves.

  • A company SHOULD give people what they want, and not what they think the people should get.

    While there are many factors that caused the failure of the car companies, it only takes half a brain to realized that the Unions are largely accountable. When I say "Unions", I'm not talking about the members who actually work hard and give up some of their paycheck to the union. I'm talking about the people who receive that portion of the paycheck to go around beating up scabs.

  • scum

  • From the posts it sounds like libs support union violence. Wait until seiu picks on the wrong person and see what happens.

  • Fear and ignorance rules the day while MILLIONS of WORKING PEOPLE don't have health insurance, can't afford health insurance, have been screwed over/denied by the insurance they do have, and are losing their homes because they had a procedure they needed to live. All in the name of PROFIT. Money above life, sad.

    But I guess its easier to yell "socialist!" than to actually care about people. Why is human health a commodity like cars and Coca Cola? Why does it have to be?

  • the union started the violence

  • It amazes me the number of people who come to this site to troll and spread their hatred and disinformation- People hate what they fear, they fear what the don't understand, and they don't understand the Public Option. It's a lot easier to cry that Obama's a socialist, and that SEIU and ACORN are his personal stormtroopers. The fact is that the majority of ppl in this country want the Public Option, and it will be funded by many source, including a rollback of the Bush 3% tax cut on the wealthy

  • Ha ahaha, I love this, finally the republicans nazi ops,are getting their ass kicked and by the union folk , about time to kick the shit out of those bullies , Just LOVE IT, anyways most of those idiots are talk radio zombies or big pharma , insurance operatives .

  • The only national socialists are in the Dem. party. The only violence is from the club wielding Chicago way followers of BHO. They are beating old people, old vets and minorities, putting them in the hospital.

  • i have bcbs, but ive been under enough NON healthcare providing employers who paid me less than I could afford to purchase my own healthcare, besides my family's living expenses to know that a better public option is necesarry. Anyone else who thinks otherwise is living in a bubble, and not out there in the real world.

  • strange you dont see any minoritys or any one under the age of 60 at these town hall meetings, these peeps are all retired and probably ssi & medicare, both goverment programs, guess they dont have anything else better to do with thier sorry ass lifes,, looks like the same types who were at those mac-palin kkk rallys...

  • Comment removed

  • completely wron and not even close to the truth. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison started the Democratic party in the 1790's, the KKK was started in 1865. Thomas Jefferson created the Democratic party to fight the fiscal policies of Alexander Hamilton

  • Comment removed

  • Ya, but his healthcare plan has DEATH PANELS.

    Those retard conservatives will find things to complain about, even if they have to make stuff up.

  • Yeah let them push this through and see what happens next November. I know if my Democrap senator Blanche Lincoln votes for this she will be looking for another job next year.

  • Here's a challenge to republicans/blue dog democrats out there. If you are SOOO against government run healthcare and truly want less government, here's what you do:

    Reject healthcare reform (keep doing what you're doing)

    Reject Medicare

    Reject Medicaid

    Reject YOUR OWN CONGRESS HEALTH INSURANCE

    Reject social security and SSI benefits

    And while you're at it, reject the post office (after all, its government run and free, so it must be socialism)

    Do that, then we'll know you're serious.

  • DEAD WRONG MAG!!

    We need the post office. Its constitutional.

    Problem is people sucking off the tits of goverment (for libs that means Other Peoples Money)

    They would'nt have a clue on providing for themselves. We would have to ween them off little by little untilll they can stand on their own two feet if that is possible.

  • jolow2 - You called it! Social services is about community. Socialized health care is about the clueless and the self-entitled getting another handout on the backs of working Americans.

  • Actually not for profit healthcare makes more sense and works better than for profit healthcare, at least if you consider the care we receive from the different systems, if you just consider Insurance Company profits than "socialized healthcare" is bad, except for the people who use it. Healthcare insurnace companies have increased their profits over 400% in the last 2 years, in the middle of the worse recession since 1930. What moron wants to keep this going?

  • MagnesDrachen13 - Good idea. You're a genius. Don't forget that we also need to refute the fire and police departments. Oh, and don't forget the public libraries, the public schools and the local water treatment facilities. All the government(s) needs to do to get me to agree with your elementary theory is to return all of my money they've taken from me, with interest of course, and I'll go along with your suggestion.

    Oh, and where did you get the idea that the post office is free?

  • DotGovDotCom:

    Do you know what SARCASM is?

  • If the GOP and their supporters are so against this, I expect that when it passes...with the public option...anyone who didn't support it, any of those assholes who showed up at town hall meetings trying to shout down politicians who were trying to explain to us how good it will be, should NOT be allowed to use it. Make them stick with their overpriced corporate for-profit health care system while the rest of us reap the benefits of a system that doesn't treat us like walking wallets.

  • The unions will rip those stupid mother fuckers to pieces... GO GET THEM!

  • LOOK!! LOOK!!

    There is an old grandma in the back with an AK47 and swastika tatoos!!!! Its an armed conspiracy!! Where are the union Obamathugs??? HELP!

    LOL

  • relax

  • I'm very, very disappointed in Obama and the Democratic Party in general. Republicans have repeatedly shown that they have zero interest in bipartisanship. They are only interested in interrupting and undermining this administration.

    Yet Obama and Democrats still do not have the balls to get things done. They control the Congress and White House, so they need to put their feet down, "Either it's our way or the highway," but they have been such pussies.

  • You are so off the mark....mob's my gosh. Look at ACORN, funded by my tax dollars! Get a clue you libtards! And don't remove people's post because you don't agree...very un-American!

  • your ignorance is sooo scary, do you even know the truth of ACORN and what they do? or do you believe everything you hear on Limdick , hanity and OReilly? we have the internet and a way of finding truth I suggest you use it. and stop looking like a complete asshole with no thoughts or brains of your very own. ; )

  • Right wing groups and insurance groups busing them in?

    Really? Possible for some groups, but look at this: Americans, registered Democrat, Republican, and independents, (mostly from middle class backgrounds) using home-made signs and normal clothing protesting.

    VS.

    ACORN, using uniforms and printed signs. When they protest and break the law, it's patriotism.

    When non-affiliated Americans protest by the tens of thousands against a liberal regime, they're a mob.

    If Obama passes this, one-term

  • you have no idea what you are talking about because you believe all the misinformation feed to you by the RepubliKlans. grow a pair and look up the truth for once in you sad small life.

  • 1) It doesn't make you look credible if you say someone with a different opinion has "no idea what they're talking about". That's bigotry.

    2) Misinformation? I suppose the propaganda czar combined with the snitch on your neighbor program will fix that.

    3) The truth? I read on many internet sites, NBC, CNN, and FOX. All sides of the story, and I decipher from the bias what the truth is.

    ACORN has, many times, broken the law and it's been encouraged by their administration in breaking into houses

  • "ACORN has, many times, broken the law and it's been encouraged by their administration in breaking into houses" - Bullshit artist Valenhiem

    Ann Coulter has more voter fraud cases than ACORN does. DOn't believe me? Google "Ann Coulter voter fraud"!!!

  • and in Southern California a group called the young Republicans did voter fraud.

    it's just a fun fact.

  • Blacks used to vote republican, so what? Funny how the Klan all happened to move to the republican party, though. Do you actually think that just because they may have started out as Democrat they must be liberals? How dense. They were what you call "Dixiecrats" who were mostly federalists that eventually made there way to the repugs after that people started demanding equal rights. Mostly just confederate remnants of the Civil War era, not very progressive.

  • Valenhiem,

    Its understood that both Democrats and Republicans participated in hangings, attacks on private houses, and other violent activities against African Americans. However, the present Republican Party are outright encouraging and demonstrating the same type of hatred and violent behavior seen in the past week. The Rioters were only interested in shouting down the speaker, not allowing others to get their questions answered and preventing the facts to be heard.

  • none of this has to do with the kkk or any other racist orginization...man your trippen valen

  • TheFreedomFan

    Are you familiar with the activities of the KKK? What I saw on CNN, look much like the riots of the Klan. No, I agree it shouldn't be about any racist organization, however their behavior demonstrated like the KKK (such rioting hatred, w/o interest in reasoning). You Must Understand The KKK Violent Activities (not the 2 sec. segments seen on the media. America aren't proud of their past racist image). This way they will not show such images, unless on PBS.

  • How pathetic...you removed all of my post. What did I make to much sense for you...afraid the young liberals...might see some ot the truths! Shame on you!

  • don't be such a fucking idiot, candio. The comments go into limbo after the 2nd page because of you tubes glitchy system. God, another idiot who assumes that everything, and everybody, is against his righteous bitching.

  • There's already been a clash!

    right wing thugs have attacked unionists at these meetings already!

  • The unionist sare only there to harass the American people and enhance their corrupt agenda with the government stooges. Obama has sent the word out to destroy them. He is again showing his butt as a corrupt, elitist, Chicago thug. Its the only way he knows. Force and intimidation. Just wait until he runs his "civilian army" he speaks about. This is only a dry run.

  • other way around!

  • you are a dishonest anonymous motherfucker.

  • Yeah but have you seen the guys they bus in? Old guys and fat guys and unpleasant women. There might not be a clash, maybe more of a scuffle
