Claire McCaskill: Town Hall Anger "Not Manufactured"

[hipstermi]

0:36 why are conservative at these things often:

1. angry toned

2. finger wraggling

3. fat

4. need to mention "socialism"

[papalog08]

I was there! It was a rainy day, everyone was in nice suits. .. except me and my friend because we just went to say we did. Everyone had rain coats and what not, we had on t-shirts and were soaking wet. Felt like a whore in church.

[Quiksilver209]

politicians don't care about us. You are NEVER wrong when you say they are good for nothing scumbags. Dont be afraid to say it loud and clearly.

[samfdogmic]

oldviolina- I'm middle class and i was stuck with a $1,000 bill too, BUT do you know how much doctors and hosptials risk every time a patient walks through the door? Every doctor, regardless of their perforanace or record, must pay for medical practice liability insurance? My father is a pediatrician with a crystal clean record, but he and all doctors have to pay hundreds of thousands for insurance premiums , which stems from frivolous medical lawsuits filed by trial lawyers (liberals)

[421slobo]

@samfdogmic good point sam, its not about defending anybody its about reality, thanks for pointing that out. oh and by the way good job on pointing out the connection between liberals and lawyers, your the shit baby

[oldviolinat48]

the doctor charges 1000 bucks for a short meeting and does nothing to help you ? docotors should not be able to do that.i even called him in.notyhing come of it.doctors chage to dam,n much

[421slobo]

@oldviolinat48 why would the doctor talk to you, you cant even speak english. did you pay the 1000 dollar bill? i doubt it, people like you are why my health insurance rates keep going up.

[oldviolinat48]

@421slobo CHILD ! i was paying insurancfe 30 years before you were even born-don't come to me with this kind of B/S.you are a kid.i pay my bills child..and will continue to do so.you will never pay anything for me.! wait until you have enough years of life in you before you spout your mouth like that..

[421slobo]

@oldviolinat48 first off im 27yrs old so i dont know what you are hinting at by calling me a child but if thats your perview i geuss i dont mind. If your as old as you say you are then your on some type of medicare by now so you didnt pay any bill. I find it amusing when people such as yourself have to come on here and make shit up to legitimize your agenda.

[421slobo]

@oldviolinat48 and by the way, i dont know where the corner is im from new york is that close? which real world would you like me to live in? the one where between my health insurance premiums and taxes my wife and i paid close to 20 grand last yr, or your reality where you consider a 1 thousand dollar bill some serious impetiment? dont tell me where to go, ive been there and i kicked its ass

[jjmnky]

This senator is serving another master besides the people who sent her to Washington to represent them. She is part of the real misinformation society.

[Aptopdog352]

thats all u bitches got to say

[HandsHeldHigh1]

we need a revolution

[bluetickrunner]

fuck you and your democracy i live in a republic got it public servant? but i no you dont because you are self serving and how do we no? bnker bailout to a tune of 26 trillion of our dollars when 90% of america said no. SHEEP WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[24189766]

I have visited the US seven times and have had a great respect for the American people and I have many friends there. When I return to Europe I spend a great deal of my time defending US foreign policy and the American people.

To my amazement, all that will now have to be re-evalueated. Do you people REALLY think that fair and equal health-care for all is some sort of socialist/communist take-over? I have to tell you that this really has shocked me. The insurance companies will be proud of u

[DaisukeNiwa776]

So I can't exercise my right to my opinions and free speech? Just because I'm a high schooler doesn't mean I don't know shit. Mr. store275, I know how fucked up people are and how angry and hateful people are. I know how emotions control what you say. What pisses me off is that noone gives a damn what I think and I will have to live with this for the REST OF MY LIFE. That is a long time. (I hope)

People should care what the high schoolers think, because we have to deal with what you vote in.

[reginaDexant]

Dais, I just want you to know your opinions are very very important in this issue. After all, for years(hopefully) you won't need health care that you can't handle with your own income-even without insurance-unless you get married and have a lot of kids-so if your health remains good, you will work and pay for those on this socialized bill, while others are aided by it. You will pay a lot of money and taxes for this bill, for a very long time. I hope you read history and know what trueliberty is

[Teikiatsu]

Hey look a single hippy who thinks they know everything.

To think people used to respect your opinions...

jbugko, crawl back under your rock. We adults have real issues to deal with.

[jakefree24]

But we are supposed to respect some simple minded right wing asshole's opinion more, whose education mainly consists of garbage out of talk radio

[jbugko]

Their replies ARE manufactured by Fox "News" commentators. Among Fox News Sponsors are:

CIGNA

AFLAC

FIDELITY

HSBC INS

UNITED HEALTHCARE INS

NATIONWIDE

STATE FARM

LIBERTY INS

[MVRWC]

where is the support for this plan?? why do i not see people standing up and speaking out to support it? because IT IS the support is manufactured.

[DaisukeNiwa776]

"people don't want nationalized health care because there is a black man in the white house?"

thats fucking bullshit and you fucking know it.

get a life, a girl, and a HIGH SCHOOL degree and i recommend you dont start politics unless you KNOW THIS SHIT FOR SURE.

ive read and i know my stuff.

[store275]

When Bill was in the White House, there was a tremendous amount of opposition to Hillary's health care initiative, but nothing compared to what we've been seeing today. If you think the racism has not been a contributing factor to the fervor of the present debates, or lack of debates rather, than you are hopelessly naive.

A perfect example is that "god fearing" woman in Las Vegas who started yelling "Heil Hitler" to the Jew who was speaking to the media about Israel's health care system.

[jbugko]

These bigots can barely contain themselves, and they haven't even read the bill.

[CureStupidity]

=0) If his race were that big of a negative factor, he would not have been elected. (There are crazies on BOTH sides.) What woke ME up was a multiple of things: the bailouts, the stimulous, and cap/trade. I started becoming involved and realized how terrible GWB was. I just want to know where are all the people who protested GWB? BO isn't that much different. Now that "we" have woken up, they want us to shut up! =0) Ooooh, I'm writing that down...

[jbugko]

You know what would be a little more convincing about your claim that you know your stuff? That would be if you'd actually read the bill, but you've made it obvious that you are clueless as to what's actually in it.

[DaisukeNiwa776]

LOL

ok first of all

the reason i do NOT want this bill passed is because it is showing signs of socialism (meaning the government wants to control us)

If you think we don't want it passed because there is a black man in the house, then you are so fucking sad.

Don't play the race card on white people "oh you dont want this shit cuz hez black omgzomgz"

and i didnt want obama in the seat.

im in high school and i know the views and my views, and whats wrong and right.

[mkoogle]

Signs of socialism... hmm.. . public schools, firehouses, social security, u.s. mail OH MY GOD IT'S HERE! idiots....

[jbugko]

Oh no! Look out! It's the NATIONAL Cancer Institute! Run and hide! It's the NATIONAL Guard! Look out! It's the NATIONAL Institute of Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases! Run for our lives! We're doooooomed!

[utube9000]

Yes, exactly, socialism IS here. It's just a question of how far we allow it to go.

I have no problem with public schools and firehouses. But remember, even these are NOT necessary. Private institutions would do just as well.

And social security is a SCAM - the money was NOT saved for your retirement, it was spent on other things.

Yes, there will always be SOME amount of government controlling our lives, the question is: how much? The founders believed that "less is better" and I agree.

[jakefree24]

Name me one person who has been cheated out of his SS benefits?

[store275]

Maybe in about 15 to 20 years, when you have a little more life-experience and education, and when you realise how miserably fucked up and inherently evil most people are....when you finally realise that people become angry and hateful over things they do not understand and when you realise that people's untamed emotions control their behaviour and the garbage that comes out of their mouths instead of logic and reason, your opinion will matter.

Today, no one cares what a high schooler thinks.

[g4macdad]

If WE elected Obama and WE want healthcare reform. WE will get it. NOBODY cares what these TEABAGGERS say. SHUT UP and sit down. It's called Democracy NOT socialism. Get a GED and turn off FOX!

[gearin7]

You are kidding me right?? People don't won't nationalized health care because there is a black man in the white house? That is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!

[store275]

All these loudmouth fat fuck rednecks need to shut the hell up. What the fuck are they so angry about? Why, because a black man is in the White House? You know that's the real reason.

[keeblerdeathsquad]

Pulling the race card is a racist act.

[oneviwatara]

Brianna is soooo hoooot.

[roadrasdog]

Im not much for either side but I am a american that beleives we are just tring to keep my ass outa the poor house and no in our goverment should tell and american that you have to do what they say whether your black white or what ever we all are americans o ya iam an overthe road driver Frank the longhauler

[filo6942]

Yeah really. Whats next, kill off WALMART, and HOME DEPOT?

[oldviolinat48]

@filo6942 yes-kill off wal-mart and home depot

[eslake]

"pointed a finger at insurance companies"

But wait. If this bill put the reigns on insurance companies, why would they be BACKING IT?

Big pharma and consolidated insurances were the largest contributors to Obama's campaign, and they backed this bill.  If it was going to cut their corrupt proffits, they wouldn't freaking be lobying for it!!!

[mikeNuttallza]

if our civilisation has the ability to take care of its elderly and poor,(and it does) it should.

common people open you eyes! nothing should stop us from doing good and taking care of each other.

[Dewdaahman]

excuse me but I do believe we are a Republic under Constitutional law makin' us a Constitutional Republic.. hence,w/o the Constitution there would be no Republic.. any scholars out there wanna weigh in..?

[djstormx]

The Constitution guarantees us a Republican form of government, however that has been skewed and we haven't had one for a while. Since the Constitution is the law of the land (as our Founders intended), we are SUPPOSED to have a CONSTITUTIONAL Republic. The Federal government is merely there as an extension of the power of the people. A government is merely a body of people who derive their power from the consent of the governed. It is framed and limited in the Constitution - Article 1 Sec 8 & 9

[Dewdaahman]

"The Federal govenrment is merely an extension of the power of the People." I ask you, the power you speak of how does this power manifistate itself..? what form does it take..? what does it look like, sound like, how does it act..? if you mean the power of the vote we've seen in the last 3 elections that how we vote as a People doesn't matter, dead people vote.. I'd like to know what kind of "power" we have and where it is..  everything else you said I agree with and wish it were that way..

[djstormx]

Well, by the rights given us through the Constitution we have a lot more power than most people know. And it's not just the Constitution that gives us these rights. The Declaration of Independence names some of our rights (powers), and the Bill of Rights names some of our rights (powers). If you go into depth and study the writings of our Founders and our Founding Documents, you will find out what they intended. Unfortunately, we were dumbed down over our country's life and are apathetic.

[Dewdaahman]

power : 1. ability to do or act.. 2. possession of control or command over others.. 3. the legal ability and authority..

again, I ask where is our power..? the various abreviations above have an underlying tone.. to act, command over others, ability and authority.. my point..? we need physical action like "stand up Congressman/Senator, turn around and put your hands behind your back, you are under arrest for Treason, right down the line.. power means action.. my2cents..

[Dewdaahman]

we are NOT a democracy, we're a Constitutional Republic first and foremost and if you disagree w/that then you just back away from me, slowly..

[deeeebs1234]

Acctually we are a Federal Republic.

But you are correct otherwise.

[MattCockburn]

i don't agree with McCaskill, but I admire her honesty and fairness.

[klassenj01]

lies. People are mad as hell and they aren't going to take it anymore. End the fed. Fight the NWO

[CavemanSynthesizer]

Their anger isn't being manufactured, but their ignorance sure is being manipulated.

[mightydio]

First respectable democrat I've seen on any of these town hall videos. I 100% disagree with her, but she is civil, understands why people are pissed and is listening to them or at least giving them a chance to speak.

[fupackers]

So the insurance companys made a profit, would that be a reason for the goverment to get involved like they did with goverment motors. they have already over taxed every so called sin bills, whats next? Maybe your auto insurance?

[MidniteCM]

Please it is Manufactured hate, I have home video on my channel of a right winger taking a Rosa Parks poster (woman who helped fight for medicare) from a black lady for no reason at all at the same town hall meeting. Sad!

[thenewnhlsux]

Was the Anti Bush protests manufactured? Was the G8 protests? How about the Anti War protests? - did the media or left EVER ask if those were manufactured? - How about ILLEGAL ALIENS and their marches, does the media ask them? What a FUCKING JOKE/DISGRACE that the media in this country has become - They attack & insult law obiding tax paying citizens. DISGRACE!.... Here are the FACTS!, 70% of americans dont want govt in bed with their health + Obama FUCKING LIED about the AARP backing him, sad!

[MidniteCM]

lol Where did you get you polls 52% are for health care reform 30% are not for health care reform and 18% don't care so 70% is a little fare fetch don't you think. And AARP said they endorse the policies but not the bill kind of and odd answer, sounds like i like what their doing, but don't like who is doing it. And did you see my video?

[rrpostalagain]

[black lady for no reason at all]

YOU are doing exactly what you accuse others of! You are manufacturing reactions on false information. There were NO POSTERS ALLOWED at that meeting. The man should not have torn it up but he was arrested. Then the lady way way way over reacted and screamed racism.

[endisnighe]

Those evil bastard Insurance companies. We have to put them out of business, uh wait, I work for an Insurance company, uh maybe that may not be such a good idea. How many people work for Insurance companies-fuck them-we can make this work-lets get the Auto manufacturers to pay-uh wait, we already took them over-lets get the Banks to pay-uh wait, we already took them over and pillaged all the money we stole from the taxpayers.

I WONDER WHY NOBODY TRUSTS OUR GOVERNMENT?

[humburgc]

youwanna789

boy you are a class act!!!

[jonpvrmx]

The reason the right wing are mad at the healthcare reform is because for whatever reasons Ruport Murdoch does not want universal health in the USA. Whatever his puppots on Fox News say the fanatics will believe as truth and follow. Whats wrong with everyone having free healthcare?

[snare222]

Nothing's free for one.For two we can't afford it.For three America's supposed to be a free-enterprise system.

[thenewnhlsux]

jonpvrmx - WOW just WOW - no offense but your post is beyond 'irrational', "whats wrong with free healthcare"? WHO & HOW IS THIS TRILLION (thats with a T) TRILLION+ dollar monster be paid for? Whats so "free about Trillions"? Does that seem 'free' to you?..... holy shit that might be the DUMBEST post ever on youtube! "Free healthcare" pffft..... BTW the goverment wants POWER and some of you dopes are in a hurry to give them more, i CANT BELIEVE some people want the govt in bed with them. SAD!

[jonpvrmx]

Sad but true and its coming. Get ready for going to the doctor and not paying $100 to his golf fund. I would love to see you complaining then.

[controlpopulation]

I laugh at how these politicians bash the insurance companies but at the same time their bill chooses to utilize them in their plan. No one has backed insurance companies MORE than democratic leaders. In universal healthcare, why do they still plan on using insurance companies??? Ask yourself that question.

[youwanna789]

fuck democrat bitches! bye bye obama in 2010, we will vote you out. sure there needs to be some health care reform but quit telling people who have worked all their lives and have been to college for 12 years to quit making so much money. they deserve that no matter how much they make. If you democrat fucktards have a problem with it, then you go to college for 12 years and get a phd! FUCK DEMOCRATS!

[youwanna789]

OOps i meant 2012! Hey i didnt go to college for 12 years like doctors!

[moocowbaby91]

thats not an excuse. you're still a moron.

[youwanna789]

you might be right about that but at least im not a democrat!

[shaamex]

Claire is a scrapper from way back. She is not scared of some bused in pre-paid Gop operatives even if she won't call them that. Its nice everybody that's not pre-paid or overly organized is worried about insurance. But the discussion needs to include the un-insured also. The percentages are wrong because some can't get it thru their employers. And they can't afford it on their salaries. The kids may be covered but not the parents. Working poor needs a nod.

[kellyjaye]

@animateclay - found it - like it - sharing the idea of flat-rate no-limit ...Thanks for the post!

[brettfan007]

All the left wants to do is bash something, like Insurance companies, but has no explanation for their plans and then they want to ram it down everyone and not read the bills.

You've got to be kidding if you don't think people will be upset.

[1999vfr]

Vote this bitch out to, let her cast a vote for fucktard Obama's plan. The 2010 election is the only way to show them who is in charge. That is the (PEOPLE).

[waltermh111]

The claim isnt that anger at the plans are fake. Its that it doesnt seem most speakers are anything but paid or organised by companies.

The dem lady is missing the point.

These repub angry folks are continually being told by people lies and it ruins civilised talk.

[bingo3218]

Don't let the background noise fool you!!! Republicans and Democrats or Fox and CNN, they are all the same. Ask who wants to abolish the Federal Reserve that is the key, the rest is a smoke screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[snare222]

You're right. If someone tried to do that they'd be dead.

[jinha911]

CNN is very biased The CEO is sitting in Obama's Czars list. Very biased. That is why their rating dropping rapidly.

[Macinchaz]

Fox News is biased too...you guys tend to not understand the full story...I was watching it and all they do is bash the Health Care System and that isnt biased? Pathetic

[snare222]

Fox news is biased you're right.

At least they actually expose what's in the plan.CNN quit having people on that have opposing views.Fox has them on all the time.All the other channels are slanted to the left.

[jinha911]

Use your head please. If my friend was at my house, without my permission. I would ask what are you hiding? Instead of ignoring the issue like CNN. You're right. Fox provide most information against Obama, but I rather hear that instead some of the nice stuff. The hidden stuff is what is dangerous. If he passes this, the next president cannot turn it back. If I would you, I would use my own common sense to see who is more correct.

[pauwelasurfer]

Take a look at Rachel Maddows Youtube video.

Rachel Maddow Exposes Corporate Backed "Fake" Protesters At Health Care Town Halls - 08/05/09

And decide for yourself who's responsible for these very DEVISIVE, DISRUPTIVE and ANGRY MOBS!

No BIG SUPRISE!

[wolfpackjudo]

Gee... Rachael the I have to act like I'm straight to get a job... Maddow says it. It must be true. She probably checked with Obermann and Matthews to verify it too.

Wow. What a joke...

[pauwelasurfer]

You see what happens when Right Wing Wackos are proven to be FRAUDS! They go off on a tangent! Why am I not suprised.

[snare222]

Being a opposed to being treated like is peasant makes you a right-wing wacko?

If you trust the federal government with your vital organs and health you're more than a wacko you're fucking fool.You think Obama and his pals are going to have this type of healthcare?No because they are the elite and we are the peasants.

Total communist mentality.Fuck Obama and fuck socialized medicine.

[pauwelasurfer]

Is this the typical "FOUL" mouthed response from these Right Wing Fanatics. HOW SAD!

[snare222]

O.K. I'll you're a freaking fool and forget Obama and socialized medicine,Feel better now.I still still don't wants the claws of government in me no matter what words I use to make my point.If I'm a wacko you're a sheep for trusting this

follower of Bill Ayers and Sal Alinsky.

I've read "Rules For Radicals" and the "Communist Manifesto" and our dictator-in-chief follows these by the letter.

If you trust this guy you're just plain stupid regardless of how many degrees you have.

[pauwelasurfer]

No matter how you try to mask it, you've already been found out as a FRAUD! And now we both agree that you're a WACKO!

I have no doubt that you've read "Rules for Radicals" and the "Communist Manifesto." It explains where your misguided and "RADICAL" views originate. I see you're also from the school of thought as Timothy McVey.

RADICAL leads to LUNACY! HOW SAD FOR YOU!

[snare222]

RFR and CM are bibles for Obama his leftist radicals.

Sal Alinsky the author of RFR is a hero to these people. He was a community organizer in Chicago like Obama.His taking over of business is straight out of Marx's Manifesto.Read it you'll probably love it.You love this Marxist radical so much you might as well learn from the same teachers he had.

I'm Tim Mc Veigh because I believe in the founder's principles of small government.

You're right radical does lead to lunacy.

You support them.

[pauwelasurfer]

Sorry there snare222. You've been found out as a FRAUD, a POSER if you will... on your RADICAL views. There's no doubt in my mind and the majority of Americans that you and Timothy McNUGGET are cut from the same cloth and ideology.

RADICAL leads to LUNACY! And you're right there with the rest of the LOONS!

[JohananRaatz]

So are 53% of Americans lunatics?

[JohananRaatz]

I have a question. Why is it that 60% of the country now opposes Obama's healthcare proposal and are called lunatics by a few oddball individuals who happen to have large mouthpieces at their disposal?

As for Obama, snare222 is right though perhaps he hypes it a bit. I go to school in an environment full of left-wing extremists like this. They have commie clubs, radical profs, "hate-America people" -the works. In academia this is normal, and Obama came from an environment like that.

[1Doz]

And it's more than a little galling for a left that just a few years ago was turning out by the hundreds of thousands to march at rallies organized by communist front groups like International ANSWER now whines when average Americans turn out at town halls to make their voices heard.

Nobody does hypocrisy like the left.

[JohananRaatz]

The left can never take it's own medicine. They have been screaming down right-wing speakers for years at universities and actually getting physically unruly. Same thing goes with the hippie riots in the 60's. Now finally the right grows a pair -and STILL behave better than them- and they scream fascism. ROTFL

Maybe they should read some Michael Ledeen. Apparently somebody forgot to tell them that the right can be just as revolutionary as the left. Cheers! :D

[1Doz]

Yep. They shout down and throw food at conservatives who come to speak. You'd think people who fancy themselves lovers of debate and diversity of opinion wouldn't resort to such petty fascism.

On the other hand, as Jonah Goldberg has proven, liberals are indeed fascists or at least highly fascistic, so it's really not so surprising...

[pauwelasurfer]

Hey RAT! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!  Sorry dear, but as I said to snare222, you Right Wing WACKO's have been found out for the "FRAUDS" that you are!

You NUT JOBS say a lot but NOTHING at all but HOT AIR! Typical from ANGER driven Right Wing Conservative EXTREMISTS who just can't convince the American people that they're just not more of the same REPUBLICAN, "Hate-America" DING BATS!

But I mean it in a nice way! ;-)

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You REPUBLICONS Crack me Up!

[JohananRaatz]

Do you have anything meaningful to say?

"Typical from ANGER driven"

Tell me; whose anger driven? :

"Hate-America" DING BATS!" "NUT JOBS" "REPUBLICONS" "Right Wing Conservative EXTREMISTS" "Hey RAT!" "you Right Wing WACKO's"

You know from what I've seen here you haven't addressed anything anyone else has said. You just spew labels you've parroted from others. Now are you going to be reasonable and reply sensibly or are you just going to go on like this like a broken record?

[pauwelasurfer]

JohananRAT

You mean.... The "TRUTH???"

Sorry if the "TRUTH" hurts but it is what it is RAT! If RIGHT WINGERS want to put it out there for all to see and continue their MOB mentality, and proven to be FRAUDULENT protesters. What more is there to say, other than.

Who are you trying to convince? YOURSELF? ;-)

[JohananRaatz]

"You mean.... The "TRUTH???""

You haven't been giving any truth as of yet. You've just been throwing around a lot of slogans that you probably picked up from somewhere else.

"to be FRAUDULENT protesters."

Kind of like the astroturfing in favor of the bill done by the white house using groups like SEIU and ACORN? Give me a break. The town halls have not been organized anymore than people are being encouraged to go to them. It's ordinary people going unlike the paid people at SEIU and ACORN.

[pauwelasurfer]

Still just "FRAUDULENT!"

Again, who are you trying to convince? YOURSELF???

[JohananRaatz]

(sigh) I should have known I couldn't get you to debate rationally.

[1Doz]

Wait a second...

You mean those color-coordinated mega rallies the liberals held for the last eight years -- the ones where everyone was given an identical sign to hold -- weren't just ordinary folks like at the town halls? You mean they were organized in advance by well funded left-wing organizations with the specific intent to sway policy?

This is....shocking... because if true how can the liberals now complain?

Surely they're not just being hypocrites.

::atomic sarcasm::

[JohananRaatz]

Freud would refer to this behavior as "projection."

[JohananRaatz]

Ok before we continue I want you to define four terms:

1. Right-wing extremist

2. Right-wing moderate"

3. Left-wing extremist

4. Left-wing moderate

It has been my experience that extreme leftist ideologues are usually only able to define 2 or 3 out of the 4. They have a heavily distorted view of politics and often call anyone who disagrees with them "extreme."

[pauwelasurfer]

Again, who are you trying to convince??? The Majority of Americans already sees those LOUD and ABNOXIOUS MOBS as just more of the same.

"FRAUDULENT Protesters!"

[numag1]

All those CAPS are a clear indication of ANGER on your part. But I imagine hypocrisy doesn't bother you as long as you are the hypocrite.

[pauwelasurfer]

ANGER! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

Yeah, that's it! BWAHAHAHAHHAHAH!

[numag1]

Yeah, that IS it. Poor angry liberal. Light up another bong...that should calm you down.

[JohananRaatz]

Hmm I find it interesting that the only person using derogatory slurs here accuses others of being "angry." I believe they call this "projection."

[pauwelasurfer]

Oh dear RAT! Again..... if the "FACTS" of "ANGRY" Right Wing EXTREMIST'S MOBS hurts your cause by pointing out the very same misguided ideology then it is definitely closer to the "TRUTH" than you care to admit! ;-)

[JohananRaatz]

Why don't you tell us these facts then rather than just spouting off buzzwords over and over?

[JohananRaatz]

I hate to break it to you but Maddow is a hack propagandist dressed up as a real journalist. She's a joke.

[pauwelasurfer]

Oh no, sorry to break it to you dear JohananRAT! Your beloved Bill O'Reily, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and the rest of your Right Wing Conservative NUT JOBS are the real propagandist's.

They don't even know what Investigative Journalism is! How SAD! How very SAD! ;-(

[JohananRaatz]

(sigh) You assume WAY too much. O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh etc. have their place as media personalities. However I prefer conservative intellectuals such as William Kristol, Harvey C. Mansfield, Matthew Continetti, and John Yoo.

"rest of your Right Wing Conservative NUT JOBS are the real propagandist's"

LOL The pot calls the kettle black.

"They don't even know what Investigative Journalism is!"

Dan Rather jettisoned investigative journalism in 2004. Where do you think they learned it from?

[JohananRaatz]

"Right Wing Conservative EXTREMISTS"

You know it's ironic you should say that because I happen to be a right-wing moderate. And if you go to these town halls and tea parties you will find that they are not just right-wing extremists. There are even moderate liberals and Democrats at some of these protesting this stuff. I guess some moderate democrats are "right-wing extremists."

You're completely unnuanced labeling everyone who disagrees with you as a "right-wing extremist."

[pauwelasurfer]

BUT YOU ARE a RIGHT WING EXTREMIST darlin! Suuuuuuuuuuure you're a moderate! ;-) But we'll keep that between us, eh RAT!

[JohananRaatz]

"BUT YOU ARE a RIGHT WING EXTREMIST darlin!"

Why? Wait. Don't tell me. Let me guess. It's because I don't like the healthcare bill. Right?

Do you have anything in the way of actual arguments? This is getting tedious.

[numag1]

Johanan, in a liberal's simplistic mind anyone who disagrees with them is an "extremist". America is waking up and they are going down. Enjoy the party.

[pauwelasurfer]

Oh dear RAT! Come on now! If you walk like a duck and talk like a duck and hold MOB Protests like a duck!

Then Yeah... You're a RIGHT WING EXTREMIST! ;-)

[JohananRaatz]

A.) I have not been to one of these protests yet.

&

B.) These protests happen to include registered democrats. Are they right wing extremists as well?

[JohananRaatz]

""FACTS" of "ANGRY" Right Wing EXTREMIST'S MOBS"

Tell me, how is this any different than the angry left wing extremists mobs during Bushes years?

The point is what they are protesting. If you don't actually debate the issues they are protesting then you have no case. Why don't you do that rather than just labeling the people giving the arguments?

[JohananRaatz]

"and continue their MOB mentality,"

If you want to see mob mentality I have some videos you can watch:

Minutemen Protest Storming At Columbia University

Chased out of the Castro District - 11-14-08

and

Tancredo at UNC

After your, done talk to me about mob mentality.

I recently got a message from a friend who's 80 yr old mom is afraid to go to her townhall meeting for the first time ever. These shout down town hall meetings are not productive at all.. in fact they are quite the opposite.

Democracy Claire? No it's a Republic..

[LeGioNoFZioN]

hat's off to McCaskill for engaging her constituents more respectfully than many of her colleagues

[animateclay]

Either go with government health care and lose your freedoms or go with insurance and get restricted care. Both sides make good points, insurance stinks. Losing freedom stinks.

But guess what, there's a solution to get rid of insurance and government intrusion. It's called....

flat-rate no-limit primary care

Google it!

They use it in Seattle and nobody is even talking about it because insurance loses and government isn't needed! Just patients, doctors and free choice.

You have no place here sir. Youre makin too much sense :)

March on Washington September 12, 2009

[goldgrif]

the simple truth is those that against the public option want big business to decide their health care and the care of their children, they want big business to throw them off when it costs too much to care for them, or if the business thinks you had a preexisting, dont want universal health care then you want people to die

[s4rcorvette]

Lets see

Cuba has gun control.

Cuba has health care.

Why do Cubans want to come here?

[CureStupidity]

Why didn't I think of that?! It must be because I'm not half as great as you. I'm totally stealing your comment, by the way. =)

Bravo to Sen. McCaskill!! See what America can accomplish when we have civil debate? It is only in this healthy debate can we bring home the message to our congressmen/women what we need for them to represent in Washington. Nothing will turn off America more than uncivilized behavior.

[TwoAiren]

She's articulate. I like that.

[C2apostle]

McCaskill is cool.
