Protest Erupts at Arlen Specter Town Hall Meeting 08-11-09

[Dtwaine]

lol and exactly to what do you want the government be turned back into?

[Lulu4Him]

Look! America used to be free so, why are these thugs man-handling this guy? We are angry, and we want our government back!

[mizzymatt111]

WAIT A MINUTE! thank god this old bastard is gone

[iammci]

I suppose with this goon voted out, this gives a good incentive to listen to the people who they supposedly, but don't really represent.

Enjoy your retirement. Just know your service was a complete waste to the benefit of the people.

[EPSWhiz]

This man is an All-American HERO! Obamie played Specter for the jerk he is! Goodbye Arlie and get off that life-long welfare you're been on here in PA!

[hammocktime2002]

@EPSWhiz Sad part is that Arlen Spincter will be getting pension at our expense

[sigmundphreud]

I for one. would love to hear the speech the poor fellow was going to give!

He was driven to a very aggravated state by the attempts to silence him and toss him out, he did get to say a little bit, and the crowd erupted with cheers!

Knowing what we know now about about

"Benedict-Arlen Specter" tho old fellow was right!

[NYJared04]

@sigmundphreud

YEH!! That guy needs to be put in his place!! He's my piece of SHIT senator and no one from either side will do a better job, even if a Republican gets the nomination.

I'm not voting for Pat Toomey or Joe Sestak come November.

[MahDeerHunter]

I'm all for free speech and I'm actually very anti government but if I were Arlen, I couldn't help but laugh at this guy. He sounds like he struggles with every word.

[clintstonedare1]

of course he can't speak stupid. he's furious. Wake up dumbass!

[Mark2756042]

What a waste of skin this lowlife is. Perhaps the reason he wasn't selected to talk is because he had nothing remotely relevant to say other than to condemn to hell a politician who didn't agree with his viewpoint (whatever that viewpoint is...hardly to tell based on his mindless, incoherent rant). In a year full of despicable characters raiding townhalls, this guy wins Douchebag of the Year Award.

[clintstonedare1]

You're a dumbass, he was furious and had much to say if you don't have your head up your ass. Millions of us are just like him and can't wait for hunting season.

Asshole! Douchebags like you are the reason we have lost our way.

[Mark2756042]

@clintstonedare1 If he had "much to say", why didn't he say any of it? A townhall is the perfect venue to speak one's mind on issues in a respectful manner. It's not a venue for condemning someone to hell who disagrees with you on health care reform, or whatever this incoherent clown's grievance was. The fact that "millions of us" are just an unfit for civilized society as this guy isn't strenghtening your case...only reinforcing the fear that we've become a nation of ignorant neanderthals.

[chadgresham]

Blacks,Latinos,Asians get your guns and ammo these rednecks are nutting up

[clintstonedare1]

It has nothing to do with rednecks and "nutting up" You better wake up dummy. It's the parasite so-called govt. coming for all of us, not rednecks as you call them.we will either fight on the same side or we will live in a Bushco/obama puppet communist police state. Wake up junior.

[chadgresham]

You missed my point in history esp in American history. Poor whites have always blamed their woes on the wrong groups. That is why I made that statement maybe this time poor whites will attack the elite in this country instead of colored folks (get it) :)

[Archangel101576]

It's about damn time that people who work hard, pay taxes, and play by the rules speak out against a government that simply does not give a damn about us.

[phillynotebook]

These 7 voted for funding ACORN •Dick Durbin (D-IL)

•Roland Burris (D-IL)

•Robert Casey (D-PA)

•Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)

•Patrick Leahy (D-VT)

•Bernie Sanders (I-VT)

•Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)

pass it on

[666bushisnazi666]

I was hoping that guy in the white was gonna beat his ass! I love seeing republitards get their asses kicked, makes my day.

[bigrobmjca]

That old man is more of a man that than fatass will ever be.

[dinorex86]

Can someone tell me how health reform is trampling on his rights?someone enlighten me, no seriously i understand some repbulican arguments, but this of "dont tread on me" i dont?!

[Navyma18]

The jackass that wouldnt let him leave was. And socialistic health care tramples on our rights. You wouldnt understand would you because your for the destruction of the constitution. Dont tell me I dont know what im talking about. Read the Constitution. I dont care if your a republican or democrat our President said "The Constitution was our founding fathers greatest oversight in creating this nation." That treasonous.

[Raul48819]

Why isn't Specter throwing out Bluto in the white hat for assault?

[MrExnihilo]

I can see it now: under Obamacare, private insurers will be allowed to compete -until governmet-run insurance is offered at a lower price that the private companies can't compete with. Then it will be all government-run, and the government will have total authority to tell you to go to hell when you need life-saving treatments and you're elderly.

Isn't Obama just PEACHY?

[PowerForGood]

Good job man; what a great speach. Turn-coat specter does deserve credit for allowing the man speak, but no other credit at all. He should have allowed the guy to stay. And notice how the stupid cops (yes, most cops are very stupid) went after the guy talking instead of the guy who actually got physical (little runt in the white hat). Had that twerp in the white hat pushed me, I would have busted his jaw. That guy talking showed great restraint and good sense. Very good outcome.

[wigdomeitsallthesame]

A True sovereign? I can't tell. I seen the gaurds back of when he said "your people" lol. But if anyone knows tell me

[Raul48819]

Wait a minute! I'm going senile!!! Wait a minute! I'm going senile!!! Wait a minute! I'm going senile!!! Wait a minute! I'm going senile!!! Wait a minute! I'm going senile!!! Wait a minute! I'm going senile!!! Wait a minute! I'm going senile!!! Wait a minute! I'm going senile!!! Wait a minute! I'm going senile!!! Wait a minute! I'm going senile!!! Wait a minute! I'm going senile!!! Wait a minute! I'm going senile!!! Wait a minute! I'm going senile!!! Wait a minute! I'm going senile!!!

[doranda777]

Wait a minute!Wait a minute!Wait a minute!Wait a minute!Wait a minute!Wait a minute!Wait a minute!Wait a minute!Wait a minute!Wait a minute!Wait a minute!Wait a minute!

[skatetohell]

That dude in the white almost whooped his ass.

[martinw1200]

Obama is trying to stop insurance companies from refusing or dropping people who are actually sick. No wonder the insurance companies and their flunkies are so desperate right now.

[Raul48819]

Shame on Pennsylvania for repeatedly electing this old fascist fuck for 50 years.

Jesus Christ, Pennsylvania is full of retards.

[MrExnihilo]

Ohio has more, especially in Cleveland.

[Gook14]

Wait a minute! x12

[jacob7207]

FUCK ARLEN SPECTER. BURN IN HELL YOU FUCK.

I am so glad I moved out of the Keystone State. Health Care in Pa is a fucking joke. My father, a doctor for over 30 years, refuses to practice in Pa due to the fact that Pa doctors must pay more than 1/3 or their salary for malpractice insurance? WTF? To all you working in the US health care industry, getting fat off the perpetual corruption, your time will come and it's soon. I can't wait to see your asses in the unemployment lines.

[frailandforgotten]

This video makes me chuckle. He sounds like the Jim Carey doing the dysfunctional home show on In Living Color. He's not very nice, though. Most Christians just tell me they're going to pray for me and leave it at that.

[Bilybarule]

Anybody see this guy on the morning show. What a nut. He could not form a sentence, or keep a thought. His issue was that he could not get the floor to rant, not ask a question. He said he is angry because when Obama named the 31 Czars he broke his oath!?? Wow, great spokeman for these people.

[accountant959]

just who are "these people"?

[JusticeNone2009]

Why would anyone vote Arlen Specter into a place of power. He is rude and he thinks he has power over others by raising his voice. What a bag crap OK OK OK OK OK OK hold on. Who in the hell is the guy with the white shirt putting his hands on the guy with the grey shirt. If he would have layed one finger on me I would have had words with him. What losers... I will never vote for a dem after seeing all this crap.

[Tekneek74]

Arlen Specter is rude? He looked like an expert on etiquette in that crowd.

[sarge5000]

fucking crazies. doesn't anyone want to read the facts anymore?

[catonswg]

so his outburst was about what?

[aarythmic]

About being repeatedly lied to and betrayed by his "representatives".

[Tekneek74]

Not sure, really. It was hard to find coherent thoughts in his ramble. He apparently thought "Town Hall" meetings with a U.S. Senator were like Toastmasters, and that he would get a chance to deliver a speech. Then he played the "God will judge you" card, which further made him seem like a person with a loose grip on reality.

[cchank1]

Well said. God I wish that guy would have said those words to Harry Reid.

[outragious007]

Or George Bush for that matter!

[frio109]

Arlen Specter is a snake......

[Ishpeck]

"We've just had a demonstration of democracy."

That's hillarious.

[Tekneek74]

I have no problem with protesting this health care reform. I have no problem with people protesting anything. I'm not excited about a protest full of people that are both rude and ignorant. That doesn't do anybody any good. It shows that people are angry, but it doesn't show that they have any ability to think. We would all be better served by protesters that could form intelligent and coherent thoughts politely instead of rude outbursts of nonsense.

[herodot2]

Specter was very kind to let the guy speak, even though he offered nothin but insults and not a hint of a substantive argument.

I would have thrown him out for disorderly conduct.

[herodot2]

What a scum.

[benmacabre]

Look at the cowardly, government bootlicking piece of treasonous shit that stands up and tries to grab the guy from behind. A classic example of a brainwashed idiot who thinks citizens don't have the right to speak out. I'd have punched his face in.

[Tekneek74]

Unlike the rambling guy who thought he was going to be allowed to give a speech (somehow ignorant of how all these 'townhall meetings' have worked before) and then announces that God is going to judge Specter unfavorably. That isn't a brainwashed dolt... Perhaps you need to look in a dictionary.

[bob733333]

word, brother

[Luigi84289]

this guy is speaking what all of us down here feel. We will do whatever it takes to secure our Constitutional Liberties and Freedoms. I see more patriotic flags down here in Texas everyday.

[chuckm869]

Now you obamanations and cronies of this socialist president, pay attention! This is a real American! You people are put on notice! We are going to take all of you out to the woodshed come election day. We will defeat this presidents socialist agenda, and we will take back America. You fake republicans and blue dog dems, prepare to be on the unemployment line! TERM LIMITS! TERM LIMITS! TERM LIMITS!

[NoGuff]

I love how the guy was assaulted and neither Specter nor the police did anything about it. In fact, the police were about to take down the victim, an old man.

Welcome to the Liberal Thugocracy. Hooray for freakin Liberty.

[josh6132003]

I wish we would be aloud to have a town hall meeting with my local representatives. They wont hold any here in Maine. The politicians here feel they are not accountable to the people anymore so they do whatever they want and dont even take our phone calls or respond to our letters. We are tired of it but if they would show their faces then I would go and take everyone i know with me because we have things they need to hear from us.

[thevapour]

So you can assault an old man and the police don't do anything about it because he believed the wrong way?

[GalacticAlignment]

It's not a democracy! Shesh, he can't even get right what kind of government we are supposed to have!

[viviana0129]

Are you kidding me with this? If you're gonna speak your mind atleast know what your gonna say. This is an example of how uneducated the Right wing extremists are. NO CLASS.

[rs7977]

As opposed to uneducated Left wing extremists?

[unc68]

It is indoctrination versus education. You are not 'educated' enough in the indoctrination. I suggest you look for the videos on the "Subversion Factor" to see how you are supposed to act at meetings. Oh, I apologize, you are only supposed to act that way when non-leftist ideals are espoused.

Who was the self appointed goon that tried to force the man to sit down?

Remember when dissension was patriotic so many months ago?

[shepdadude]

Socialism might work on paper but will never be possible in the real world. Go get a job that pays everyone the same per hour and see how many people work "to their own abilities." Then go reak a book about Karl Marx...I don't recall him sharing the money he made with anyone with the books he published late in life. He also believed that capitalism would be replaced by socialism which would be replaced by communism. Do you think communism will work? History will support that it doesn't.

[porcupine07]

I agree with you on all except that socialism works on paper.

It doesn't even work there. The white part of the paper gets mad because it didn't get it's share of the ink, and a revolution breaks out.

[shepdadude]

ha touche

[mikejschultz]

America, have you finally woken up and realized the biggest mistake we ever made was electing Barack Obama on 11/4/08? Change You Can Deceive In! This is a perfect example of the left's socialist agenda! Stifling a simple man's constitutional right to peacefully address his grievances with the government. This is sad. Throw all the Dems out! ENOUGH ALREADY! The mid-term elections of 2010 are less than 15 months away. Nazi Pelosi, Harry Reid, Arlen Sphincter - your days are numbered!

[totalfloat]

Arlen Specter - "OK OK OK OK, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK.

This is democracy according to Specter.

One thing Why didnt the law thugs arrest the jerk with the white hat and white tee shirt for assaulting this guy?

OK OK OK. Specter is a survivor. He will grasp at whatever to keep him and his family FAT. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.. Specter paid by the minute no doubt OK OK OK?

[ilike2burnthing]

So while this man was on the mic, he was objecting that he wasn't able to talk on the mic....rrrrright....

Also, all these people citing off their mantra's about socialism, tell me what socialism is and why you object to it, chances are, you don't have a clue!

[rush7]

Quite simple: socialism is the antithesis to capitalism, socialism is something for nothing--a reward system for no work rather than hard work, socialism is the inability to spend your money as you see fit instead funding a government. I guess you could say there's still those out there that still cherish freedom, that don't need a nanny state government to succeed, and instead still recognize the American dream was always working your way to the top and not living in an entitlement society

[ilike2burnthing]

Reward system for no work? Strange, cuz that completely goes against 'each to their own ability'.

Inability to spend your money? Actually in a socialist society started from scratch, there would be no money, however, even one built upon a capitalist system would supply it's citizens with what they need - 'each to their own needs'.

Instead of funding the government? Socialism is ruled by the society, usually more local than national, and you actually have a hand in it rather than ticking a box.

[ilike2burnthing]

(part 2)

Socialists don't cherish freedom and believe in a big brother/nanny state? You may want to have a look at the States at the moment, you can be wire tapped and monitored for no reason, can still be detained without charge indefinitely, water boarded, psychologically torture, etc and you think that capitalism has it right?

I'm guessing you have images of Stalin, Lenin and Mao when you think of socialism? Wrong! Look up state-capitalism and then you'll see what system they ran.

[ilike2burnthing]

(part 3)

So again you believe that capitalism has it right, this time that in America, if you work hard, then you get what you deserve? Wrong! As long as you have money, you get where you need to go. Entitlement society? Lets look at George W Bush. Father was president, gave his paid his son into college, gave his son money and more money to start up business and eventually after a drinking problem, he too gets into office to become the worst president in living memory.

[porcupine07]

Uh... no

Bush was the 2nd worse. I have been as anti-Bush as it comes

But Barry Hussein is now THE worst president in living memory

[ilike2burnthing]

Actually Obama, for coming into the Office while the country, neigh the world, is in such bad shape, has done remarkably well so far, if you think otherwise, then please explain why rather than just making a blank and meaningless statement.

[porcupine07]

"then please explain why"

Let's see where should we start?

-Bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia

-Affiliation with known left wing domestic terrorists

-Buddying up to dictators like Chavez

-Hiding any and all personal records

-Radical left wing agenda, that even his own party opposes some of the time

-Mortgaged our great grandchildren's future so he could have some spending money and show that he's "in charge"

-The apology for America Tour 2009

-Violated the Constitution by appointing Hillary

[ilike2burnthing]

1) big fucking woop

2) lmao and Bush knew the Bin Ladens, your point?

3) buddying up? how so?

4) lies! he released his birth certificate, and quite frankly he has right to privacy, and even if he wasnt American, so what? does it make him a bad president?

5) radical left wing agenda? ha! again how? you've done nothing but make blank statements so far.

6) indeed, bailouts were a bad idea, and nearly every world leader has done the same

7) necessary

8) Nixon, Carter and Clinton did the same thing.

[porcupine07]

oh so I see your point.... all the other crooks did it, so no one should have a problem with our current crook?

[ilike2burnthing]

That's it? Seriously? I respond to all your points and the only criticism you have is to one of mine, and that criticism is not even about what I said? Sad really.

I didn't say they did it, therefore it's ok that he did it, in the same way that I didn't say that other countries used bailouts therefore its ok that he did it. Nixon etc raised no eyebrows when they did it, yet there's an objection when the black guy does? The constitution also says 'he', so would Hillary's gender been a crime?

[porcupine07]

I wish I had more than 500 characters to work with here. I hate it when my comments get fragmented, and it's too hard to follow with multi part answers divided up.

As far as hillary is concerned, I don't know if we're talking about the same thing.

What I am saying is that the Constitution states that NO congressman shall be aapointed to ANY other office during their term in Congress.

by the way thank you for keeping this discussion civil, despite being completely in opposition to my ideas.

[ilike2burnthing]

Before I respond to your other comments, do you want to continue this debate via pm so as to avoid this annoying 500 character limit? I know what you mean, sooo freakin annoying!

Thanks,

David

[porcupine07]

I would be happy to

[porcupine07]

Buddying up: Meeting with the despot Chavez and accepting a book from him at a photo-op outlining why America is evil and must be destroyed, and doing it with a cheerful and knowing smile.

radical left wing agenda-- usurping powers not delegated in the constitution, proposals for a national police force accountable only to him, disciple of saul alinsky, Ties to Mayor Daley, radical black extremist church, and I refer you to a CBS news article: Obama's Radical-Left Ties Broad And Deep 6/2/08

[ilike2burnthing]

Yes, cuz as we all know, we should never meet with enemies, and the best thing to improve relations is to reject a gift. However yes, I remember the smiling and that was rather stupid, although he probably felt awkward as hell, and again, bursting into flames would have done nothing for relations.

never heard about the police thing, Saul - yes as a community organiser, Daley - as far as I can see this limited to endorsement, as for the church, so what!?

Left ties doesn't mean bad president.

[porcupine07]

1st point, I grudgingly concede on this one.

The church, come on man, openly racist "church"?

I dont know if you got a chance to see the article from CBS news that i referred you to, but when a major, mainstream news outlet headlins an article with the word Radical, I have a problem with that. Obviously I am not the only one that thinks he is a radical. CBS is not the FOX news, rabid Bush supporting sort of agency He said he wanted to be president of ALL the people, a radical is anything but.

[ilike2burnthing]

(part 4)

But I can see you asking what makes socialism any better. Well if there could be two tenants of socialism (and I've already mentioned them) they would be:

1) each to their own needs - that people would be given what they need to live comfortably (including education and health) by the locally run community 'government' (i use that term very loosely)

2) each to their own abilities - that each person is expected to do the work that they are able to do and rewarded appropriately.

[porcupine07]

So who gets to decide what my abilities and needs are, you? or one of Obama's czars? or are you actually one of them?

[ilike2burnthing]

You're really not getting this. You are the one that decides. Government is local and lead by the people, it regularly rotates and is not lead by only those who can afford to spend millions on their election campaign, in a way it would be like voluntary jury duty.

And this likening of Obama to a Russian leader is meaningless as you're yet to say how this is so. So again, if you can, please do, but otherwise you just come off as a Fox News presenter.

[porcupine07]

I am not liking Obama to a Russian Leader. I hope for your sake that are are not really that out of touch to nbot realize that Obama had 47 yes! 47 CZARS working for him. Unelected unaacountable despots who control policy that affects our daily lives!

You want to tell me that in socialism, Each person gets the goods and services that they need and the job they need???

So I march down to the local politburo office and tell them what I need.. they just give it to me based on my own decision???

[ilike2burnthing]

Again, you are part of a community, you and the rest of the local community decide what is appropriate, not one person, not a group, but the whole community.

And I apologise for being, as you put it, 'out of touch' but as I'm from the UK, it's a lil hard to keep track. Obama's not the first president to have them and they are indeed accountable. And although unelected, they are best qualified (or nearly so) for their positions.

[porcupine07]

part 2 of why Barry is the worst:

Telling people to shut up and get out of the way

Quotes like: "White folk's greed runs a world in need"

refusal to salute flag during capaign gaffe

constant flip flopping and lying (Selma, uncle in WW2, single payer plan, rewriting history, etc)

Made trip to mosque (even though he's supposedly christian..see above about lies) but refused to visit Normandy on the same trip

Most appointees are tax cheats

The most Unamerican President to date

[ilike2burnthing]

He told the people who caused the economic downfall to stop talking so he could clean up their mess.

He was quoting Jeremiah Wright

He didn't refuse, he didn't do it, and what?

Hmmm, yes cuz as we know, all the great republicans have never lied.....?

Made a trip to a Mosque? Oh no, that obviously means he's not....oh but wait, the Pope went to a synagogue, and I've been to all 3, yet I'm an atheist...

Yea he didn't go so as not to give special treatment to France

Evidence?

Unamerican lmao

[porcupine07]

Why was he quoting Jeremiah Wright?

Why are you bring up the republicans? I didnt mention them, and I am NOT one of them.

Special Treatment? weak argument

Evidence for the tax cheats? look it up. It's a matter of public record. The most glaring of these is Timothy Geithner, the TREASURY SECRETARY!

Yes unamerican... doesn't like the flag, bows to foreign kings, (we do not bow to monarchs in America)

Public Servants have NO right of privacy when serving in a public capacity. Why is he hiding?

[ilike2burnthing]

He was his pastor for X number of years.

My apologies, a wrong assumption on my part, however it must be said that they're better known for lying.

It's not an argument, it was the reason given, they were travelling between Germany, France and the UK and wanted to spend equal time in both.

I'll look up the 'tax cheats' and get back to you

So someone's patriotism is wrapped round a flag? Bull! And I'm yet to see any evidence of that.

Bowing is a mark of respect, like shaking hands

Not hiding

[outragious007]

Yes, Bush/Cheney are so much more American! I wait no, they violated the constitution and lied to the American public about a war that has cost innumerous lies!

That's not very American now is it?

[porcupine07]

Why are you bring up Bush and Cheney to me? I'm NOT a republican. I really do feel sorry for you folks who think that everyone is on the side of one of the 2 major political parties. False beliefs like that are a serious problem these days

[ilike2burnthing]

Agreed, the false dichotomy of American politics is something that should have been quashed long ago, but with it being propelled through mainstream media, it's nearly impossible to do.

[theusedgreenblink]

Some people are juts plain uneducated and stupid. if all u idiots actually looked at wat the bill said, there's still a provision that says if u dont want government-paid health insurance, then you DONT HAVE TO! u can remain to keep paying ur own money for ur own insurance. and if you say "well i dont want to pay for all poor people's care! they're rationing it!"- guess wat- COMPANIES ARE ALREADY RATIONING HEALTHCARE! and don't give me B.S. about adding to the deficit. wat did Bush do for 8 yrs?

[ravagetime]

If you like your health care and your boss who provides it doesn't, he can only change it to obama's. Say you lose your job or quit, you can never go back to the indipendent insurer you liked. And Obama raising the national debt? Yes he is actually. How does that make Obama any better than Bush?

[vinnykster]

Handing out cards for people to speak?? Hand picking hmmm? NO WONDER People are goin crazy! I would too! FUCK YEAH!!

DISSENT IS THE GREATEST FORM OF PATRIOTISM!

[commensenseradio]

Say No to Socialism, Say Yes to Freedom

[vinnykster]

I concur!

Socialism in the USA - NO WAY!!

FREEDOM and LIBERTY is the way it ought to be!

[RabidRhymes]

If I were the man speaking I would press a battery and assault charge against the man with the hat who grabbed him. He had no right.

I'm glad people are waking up and speaking out.

[sirstockings]

was that thug in white, who strong armed the good Patriot, on the govt payroll? Doesn't that constitute physical assault? Why didn't those fluorided cops arrest the guy in the white hat?

[fuzzyballz]

Yeah he has to be. did you catch the cops patting him on the back at all? 0:42 seconds in....looks like a set up to me. ahh the great government..

[sirstockings]

... yeah, I just came back in and noticed that. Looks pretty suspicious. Then again, we are racists and nut jobs just because we still believe in self determination and a Republic. Its funny how these "Dems" don't realize they are being played as hard and fast as the rest of us - and NO I am not a Republican. Lets see what these people say to us when they are disenfranchised with no hope or change, in a FEMA camp, with H1N1 innoculations coursing through their veins. Mercury is good for you

[fuzzyballz]

haha very true. as a song from a band called arch enemy "we will rise!"

[Civoksay]

I'm glad so many are speaking out like this at these so called "town hall meetings". Demigogues like Specter need this kind of truth spoken in their faces. The more they try to shut up and shut out the American people who speak out like this, the more they look like the fascistic thugs they are.

[whittvet]

I agree. If they are going to lie to us and tell us this asinine fairy tale whenever they have not even read the bill then they deserve to be yelled at. Specter is just a liar in a suit that will do whatever to get elected and make money off of us like some damn pimp. The hell with them all, they are not reasonable by making us pay for someone else. They are robbing us! I don't have to be "civil"

[BigBird1017]

Specter's Sphincter tightened, and he almost choked...because Specter's head is up his ass!

[swmorgan515]

What I'd REALLY like to see, Senator Spector, is a DEMONSTRATION OF OUR REPUBLIC. In a Republic, the law is king and our Constitution must be OBEYED. You took an OATH!

[vinnykster]

AMEN!

Couldn't have said it better myself!

It's so refreshing to see smart FREEDOM loving Americans like me on here.

[slapme7times]

rage against the machine old man >=)

[genlee26]

and so the revolution is beginning. What's happening to meetings in other places?

[bcass2]

That assholewith the baseball cap, who grabbed the man from behind, should have been dropped on the spot who the fuck is he to grab that man ? grab me from behind like that while I am talking and you would be picking up you'r teeth off the floor

[bethechangeOSU]

Just extremists offering no solutions. Anybody can holler. If you have ideas, let's hear em, otherwise, quit holding America back.

Hears a solution for ya: how 'bout we actually follow the Constitution and rule of law, and end all unconstitutional federally subsidized healthcare programs. Turn off the money spigot so hospitals and doctors will be forced to lower prices to reasonable rates or have no business.

The same mentality behind billing the Federal govt $400 for a hammer is the same mentality behind a hospital charging $10 for an aspirin: "some fool (usually Uncle Sam) will pay it, so that's what we'll charge".

[calistoatnight]

The same would be helpful toward colleges and universities - the tution rates are skyrocketing because the government hands out loans and money left and right.

[SIRIMPREZA]

This 'extremist' hollers to earn others the right to holler.

No body is right or wrong. The only people who are wrong do the same thing you do- tell other's to quit yappin.

[wunderfool1973]

AND ALSO...kudos to Specter for giving this man and others their due respect.

[wunderfool1973]

This was the best damn thing I have ever seen in this country. Not only this guy, but the woman who spoke a couple of people after him. It's about DAMN time that hard working, tax paying citizens are heard. Instead of the usual brain washed protesting we see from hippies. And people who mooch off of the system.

[DEFYnwo]

Specter you are a corrupt old cronie!  RETIRE already!

[slappy09]

If he was agreeing with Arlen Sphincter with the same passion do you think the thugs would have gathered around him? The government is upset because people are not falling inline anymore as sheep.

[CrystalIrismusic]

these guys are all going to wind up dead before they're out I'm afraid. they are only pissing people who really care off, and there are a lot more of those people than not.

[ceceliacolleen]

It is time for Arlen to go. He flip flops between parties and is just making points for his "new" party. 

He will not be reelected in the State of Pa.

[KnowledgesPower]

he speaks for millions of americans! Amen brother!

[dellamalo]

And the guy who pushes him is allowed to stay? That seems reasonable.

[karenmia7]

Of course, he's FOR the crap they are trying to shove down our throats! 5 Star for the guy who stood up for the AMERICANS and our Constitution!

[Elysiumboy1]

Well done to that sir!

[javagirl50860]

It's about time someone speaks up for their beliefs.

[Faizon101]

bravo...i almost cried

[joeben81]

Why does he speak like a retarded 8 year old?

[BATCH420]

He's been in Washingon too long. :)

[hamyncheese]

Because he is sincerely angry. He is also face to face with a power mongering criminal and he is being threatened by force all around him (notice the thugs gathering).

Instead of throwing insults around like a spoiled child you should consider the emotions, the environment and the importance of the issue.

[joeben81]

All I'll consider is that ppl with weak minds are believing everything Idiots like Beck enspouse.

[hamyncheese]

I suppose it is all the strong minded people who believe what the government sells to them?

[hamyncheese]

I meant to add that I think a lot of people just aren't buying into the government story any longer. The thrust of the man's comments were that he believes that Congress is self-interested and he can no longer trust that there is any truth or sincerity in their words and legislation.

I'd add that he's probably also frustrated that he's been duped for decades and now feels powerless in the face of well entrenched extortionists backed by the force of law and violence against its citizens.

[ceceliacolleen]

I think he was worked up and very passionate about what he was saying.

That's all.

[Arginine88]

These videos seem to be going viral!

[angelbe88]

I turned on the news this morning and what I saw is this health rform debacle is causing more fighting among the citizens. Just what the establishment wants. Divide and conquer. At a time when the people should be uniting against our corrupt system, they have the left right arguing with each other.

[hellsunicorn]

The tree hath spoken, Arlen Specter, the same man who gave us "The Magic Bullet Theory" and 30 years of lies in the Senate representing Pennsylvania.

[karenmia7]

Time to vote him OUT!

[tonylee1973]

THAT IS WHAT IS CALLED A PATRIOT!!!!!

[Tekneek74]

Rants of a mad man saying that "God" will judge somebody is patriotism? Hah. They have really lowered the standards these days.

[godblessguns]

Re: Tekneek74 Comment. The USA is the greatest country in the world, because its founders were inspired by God. One great country founded under God.... remember? A man that stands up to a corrupt politician, telling him that his American crushing support for the current evil administration will be judged by God is most definitely a display of patriotism.

[Tekneek74]

I am not surprised that you have expressed this view.

[jiggajiggawut]

and AMEN!

[TheFalseOswalds]

Arlen Sphincter.

[robpatozz]

Its the little things in life that make you smile...

[jiggajiggawut]

Amen.

[john51880]

Arlen has the right to be as wrong as any other democrat!
