Lawrence O'Donnell Exposes Totally Clueless Town Hall Protester

[DB25islive]

your average white american theat votes republican every year... Rediculous

[Useyno]

Bush you are excused.

[fidobarks]

OMG

THE USA IS FULL OF DUMMYS LIKE HER

SAD

[deetjay1]

I'm mad as hell...er...Just don't ask me why...'cause I just don't know...You're just trying to put words in my mouth...Fucking socialist libtard...It's the lame stream medias fault...Really...

[GarrisonHat]

How much dough was she being paid by health care and insurance industries to make up unsubstantiated bull like President Obama saying we will eventually move to a single-payer system. Her family has the ways and means to pay for their healthcare, so what is it to her how others get affordable health-care? How is this not a dishonest manner of making extra money when right-wingers skewer defense attorneys a representing defendants who are clearly guilty as earning a dishonest income?

[Torqem]

I have the greatest respect for Mr. O Donnell! He could have intellectually took this clown apart, but he subtlely show her for the ignorant buffon that she REALLY is: A racist who all of a "sudden awaken"- after a well educated black man became President. She is PATHETIC.

[Teremei]

This woman is an example of someone who is probably a good person, but has been brainwashed and lied to by fox news and the right wing, and has had her attention diverted AGAINST the wrong things, and she doesn't even know why.

[mjgon64]

Wow...ignorance squared...this individual way fed this nonsense...communism, seriously! She needs to open a dictionary and look up the word "socialism" before she opens her mouth...

[tikinov]

this bitch is just another racist

[tikinov]

Another dumb white bitch.......

[MagnesDrachen13]

@monjiaitaly Yes it is, sorry :)

[DastardlyDereK]

Cash for Clunkers really,thats on her list of un constitutional things the Government is doing that will lead to our demise?I mean really we all know what all this outrage is really coming from.Its coming from "we dont want a Democratic black president" so we will be against everything he does even if it is things we are for so he will be kicked out of office.All of this outrage is just smoke and mirrors masking their racism and bigotry.

[gessnermatt]

deep seeded racism lovingly wrapped in a "awakening"

[thesparitan]

@gessnermatt agreed. I mean if there problems with Obama were real, regardless of if we disagreed with them that they are problems but if they were at least real things he was doing then it would not be racism. But when they keep calling him a "kenyan" I mean what are suppose to think, they are a racist.

[zoso11]

9-11, afghanistan, iraq.. i had other things going on!

[Kegbuna]

That must have taken an incredible amount of restraint. He could have easily made her cry I think without even meaning to. I wonder who wrote that BS for her to say at the Town Hall, especially when she has no clue what she is even talking about. Yea let's go back to stuff like the 3/5ths rule you moron.

[vygotsky17]

She's right about one thing she says. "I guess I'm not that smart".

[slambamdancer]

this woman can't say that she's an "awakened sleeping giant" when she says her husband takes care of her and her bills

[Anxietyyou]

wow, she is a nut job.........

[formerlymiddleclass]

Katy Abram can dish it out but she can't take it. After she shoots her mouth off, she goes on Glenn Beck crying about being threatened. If you open a can of worms Katy, expect a backlash.

[Shadeaux44]

WOW! You would think someone who spoke so hard at the townhall meeting would know a little more about what she was so passionately speaking but after that, I bet she went home feeling like she was water-boarded. I was uncomfortable watching her.

[BobDylan1201]

Owned.

[friendsofjeremy]

lol, Lawrence O'Donnell is a genius when it comes to attacking people. I love how he can go on ultra attack mode against well informed Republicans, but seem like he's being friendly here on this one while still making her look like an idiot.

[HammerOfTheSun]

A $5K deductible? Yikes.

[MarshalNey13]

Oh my god... so ignorant...

[AKSBSU]

Everybody is "used to" being in wars now? Some of my friends I met in the military are now dead. I'm still not accustomed to or comfortable with that.

[rhaastaa]

I lOVE this guy !!! He essentially gets her to admit ON CAMERA that she is completely ignorant.

[Venus1Star]

I feel bad for her and I'm glad he took it easy on her.. Not that I agree with anything she said.

[lenlangevin]

@Venus1Star - I felt bad for her too.... until I saw this her blog. You'd think she'd have learned her lesson.

[719montana]

what about the 300 pages no one know what says? medicare is paid by government but only by taking taxes from tax payers, and it is running out quicker then anyone knows. why would we give more money out of a system when the system is floundering right thise minute 14,000,000,000 dollars in debt? wake up you stupid fuckers

[ThieleM]

I think its awesome how these Right wingers blab about their constitution but rarely understand it...

[ladoudi]

...and the worst is, she keeps herself busy with "getting married and having children".

[sillycandie007]

@AroonR6 u dont get it some white person see a black in the white house, an every thing they learned in there life was being white is better she a racist end of story

[BigJimbo106]

that was painful to watch, but this is what happens when people let news commentators shape their opinions for them rather than doing their own research. War is ok, but hell no we can't have health care for all. What the hell is wrong with people in this country. When her kid's med bills start choking her wallet, then she'll want a single payer system.

[01bossmj]

:) If my mother was this stupid, i can guarantee i'd have run away from home at age 2.

[ih8tbush]

A. "I don't even know" (if we make $250,0000/year) ? really ? ? ? ! ! (ergo I might be wrong but I'm not sure If I was mistaken when he said he was going to raise my taxes)

B. TARP came before Jan 20 2009 (Obama's presidency begins).

[jandrew121]

it was not important until we have a black president. i think she speaks so well for the republican party.

[whole27]

wow, she is stupid....u can tell she knows nothing about politics or how any of those govt programs even work! So many ignorant idiots on both sides of politics!

[formerlymiddleclass]

Is she Sarah Palin's twin?

[macgeek2004]

@Theskeetergirl

And yet, as PRESIDENT, it was _Obama_ who *personally* cock-blocked the single-payer system as it was "simply a non-starter," according to *him*. Moron!

[AceFace50001]

Just another idiot that spews stale Fox News talking points, but doesn't have anything to back them up. I wish all interviewers challenged their guests like this.

[MagnesDrachen13]

Republican mantra in a nutshell: "I've got mine, so fuck you!"

[liberalk78]

@MagnesDrachen13 They have a new now it goes "Whatever The Black Guy Says We are Against It"

[monjiaitaly]

@MagnesDrachen13 healthcare is not a right sorry :)

[Teremei]

@monjiaitaly no, but Jesus would be in favor of making it a "right".

[MagnesDrachen13]

I don't care if you "handle the finances" or not, how in the hell do you not know how much you make (even roughly) a year? I don't make much, but I KNOW I don't make $250,000 a year. There's ignorant and there's whatever the hell that was. You don't know what you make per year? Really?

[PresidentWar]

"Maybe I'm just not that smart" yeah bulletin of the year you stupid fucking cunt. O'Donnell made MINCE MEAT out of this dumbass teabagging piece of fuck without even breaking a sweat. Awesome.

[TheSkeetergirl]

@PresidentWar And yet the video of Obama saying that moving to single payer is what he wants to see, is on youtube. Moron!

[oceans19711]

@PresidentWar well said bro!!

[Brogel]

@Pooternackle5 Coming from a country that has mandatory voting I can assure you it does not raise awareness and interest in the people. Because you have to vote no matter what, politicians will never put in any real effort. Parties spawn like wildfire and once you've voted for all of them you start back from the beginning. In the US you'd think politicians have to move their ass or no one will vote. In my country, populist nay-sayers attract the fed up people - and they are plenty, teen and up.

[katten02]

Is this what you call softball??? He could destroyed her, and he should.

[Brogel]

This sort of shows the problem with democracy and giving the power to the people. Like Bill Maher says: a lot of people are just idiots. And in a democracy, these idiots get representation.

She seemed like a nice enough woman though. She's not going to hurt anyone.

[Asher8328]

I give Lawrence a lot of credit for showing restraint with this woman. He could have easily embarrassed the hell out of her but he held back. Instead he just nudged her ahead with his questions enough that she showed us how little she really knows about the issues or, for that matter, anything else.

[sunnyp11]

this dumb woman is just a selfish bitch with a brain lobotomy P.S thank got we in Britain have got the NHS and very multi cultured

[sunnyp11]

this dumb woman is just a selfish bitch with a brain lobotomy P.S thank got we in britain have got the NHS and very multi cultured

[sunnyp11]

this dumb woman is just a selfish bitch with a brain lobotomy

[josuphin182]

was on the magic window thing. It makes me wonder why people who obviously have the intelligence of a dukes of hazard program come on tv to state the opinion that some people could put in better words. It makes me wonder is it worth the 15 minutes,

[josuphin182]

Sometimes i sit and watch these videos of “idiots” being invited to a nationally televised program. I wonder why they would bring it upon themselves to be put in a situation like this and its just for that 15 minutes....the 15 minutes that you can show your children and your grandchildren. “Hey mom, remember when you were on that there tv show with that one man.” And you bring out the copy from the studio and the family gathers around the tube waiting for that special time when mom or grandma.

[00sparkleandshiiine]

adorable... she doesn't want america to become a 'socialized' country... I think she should have started off her rant with 'I'm 35 years old, I've never read a book without pictures'

[radoa1]

you stupid bitch. no wonder the US is down the toilet

[smmou812]

well she is right about one thing, she is not that smart

[Streeks1984]

wow she is a special breed of interesting...high level of ignorance and idiocy.

[MrPhantomxPhantom]

what a dumb bitch

[BramSLI1]

I say we allow the Republicans to live in the world that they want to create and let the rest of us live in peace. When an economic downturn hits their world lets see how fast they come crawling back. Without Medicare and Social Security this would be a third world country. It seems that is exactly what the Republicans want to have here. They feel that redistribution of wealth is a bad thing. It isn't when you have 2% owning 90+% of the wealth. Wake up people!

[wntoply6]

@BramSLI1 no, what you don't realize is that just like the idiotic governor of texASS the illustrious governor perry, they have a secret weapon. and it's a secret weapon only they have...god (cause not a single progressive, liberal or democrat is a "christian)!

and they use that secret weapon by praying to god to get what they want...you know like how their prayers ended the drought in texASS in this year.

wow, with a secret weapon like god, they don't need intellect, education or awareness!

[IncognitoShhh]

It's great when mainstream news puts an average american on their show. she is typical. so self absorbed and focused on her own happiness and her own family. she tries to argue strongly against something she does not have the slightest understanding of. she does not even understand that she would be better off by thousands of dollars per year if she had a single payer total cover system like Australia. This is why america should NOT have nuclear weapons. They are too stupid.

[Mplay1983]

She's not too bright. Basically what she said was I didn't know or care about politics until this black guy became President. She's an idiot... she's the base of the Republican party as well. Sadly.

[mikeblack2uk]

Wow too many hotdogs has turned this woman's brain..into nonsense.

[JabrilAbdullah]

She is the epitome of the stereotypical American white christian. They have ABSOLUTELY no idea what's going on in the world. And it shows in their elections.

I mean, this woman is completely comfortable with her country CONSTANTLY being in wars. That's not supposed to be a normal thing. Just goes to show how war hungry America is and how ignorant her citizens are. Shame.

Peace.

[ikaruz06]

Great example of the American People!!!!! Keep people like this making statements and you will have a democratic president for another 4-12 years!!!!! Good Job Republicans , keep up the good work....... how many times can you shoot yourself in the foot?

[thepoundsmoker]

This is a typical Americian Fat, stupid, greedy,and a fake Christian. Good luck!!

[whatdoyouknowkid]

There is no such thing as "SMART PRACTICAL SOCIALISM" It is a tool to manipulate people through the fear of loss. There is no way to pay for all of the demands people will have for socialized medicine. Which means it will collapse and all the lemmings who demand the best for nothing will get less and less until there is nothing left. "F"ing selfish idiots are what you all are ... don't work, don't eat, don't work, don't get medical treatment. You're leaches, parasites, liars, deceivers

[EllaBelle18]

Holy mother of god, how stupid can a person get?

[teflontahj]

If only someone asked Palin or Bachman these questions before they took office

.

[GoodlifeVa]

Dear Lord, now I know why so many idiots are voted into congress.... because there's so many COMPLETE idiots like this clueless moron voting.

[Wanderlustus]

"My husband takes care of the bills and everything." Why was she on at all?

[RealTime88]

Great conversation. It was nice seeing O'Donnell not bark for a change. He is right, our political conversations should be this civil.

[bdhcarbon]

'i dont know, my husband takes care of all our bills' So.... she is dumb about the actual facts?

[lisabob22]

Lady do you realize that when you say "I'm not that smart" you hit the nail on the head.

Single payer would lower costs and save us all money. We ALL would have better health care without the 5000$ deductible.

[xinecallaw]

She never got involved in politics until now?

-9/11 happened because our govt agencies were to busy looking at porn at work instead of doing their damn job.

-Bush raped and piliaged our economy for financial gain of his friends but mostly to make things so bad that he could avoid reinstating the draft by leaving people no choice to provide for their families other than enlisting

-Plus 2 wards where thousands of soldiers killed

Those were okay, but now salvaging our economy is going to far

[mainhoon1]

the american voter!

[gombis666]

I'm surprised that Lawrence doesnt open each show with an apology to his audience for (a) being a male, (b) being Caucasian and (c) having a job that he cant give to an illegal alien.

[popo2600]

I think I know why her husband handles the money.

[mrkareem1975]

@AroonR6 She is perfect...I watched Chris Matthews,Maddow,K.O..all of em..but this is picture perfect,never opened a BOOK..... I want this fool next Sarah in 2012.

[mrkareem1975]

Racist Redhead REDNECK!! :]

[mrkareem1975]

ok...so she's not FUCKING IGNORANT?

WOW!!!

[edsweb7]

She's right ! SHE IS NOT THAT SMART !!!lmao... THIS WOMAN IS A TWIT.

[mekongyouwrong]

The typical American voter. Completely clueless. These are the people who put the GOP in power. SIMPLE FOOLS.

[victornewman06]

@mekongyouwrong Spot on!!!!!!

[leoamar4385896]

She did say "Russia" and not "Soviet Union" on that point she's correct. We've become oligarchy capitalism.

[Whammyaniac]

She speaks from her heart, not her brain.

[MaitreyaRocket]

@Whammyaniac - That's abundently clear ... People should keep their mouths shut about shit they don't understand ... They just gum up the works ...

[ciarraibuzz]

Dingbat.

[NelsonRealTime]

Another ignorant moron that i equate with about 50 % of the US population, thank god i know better than this.

[Lcowand1]

The Funny thing to me is that she doesn't know she got owned. Pathetic. 

[tom6612]

It 's very revealing the way people were cheering this airhead at the beginning of the video. Just goes to show that people will line up behind a complete idiot. Her stupidity was breathtaking. Yeah everybody's going to "take care" of the poor and under privileged. Dead people are smarter than her

[ultraollie]

These people are ignorant in the extreme; they don't know what they are talking about.

[NelsonRealTime]

this woman is a prime example of a typical american who does not know shit about shit but likes to talk shit.

Absolutely Ridiculous!!!!

[RealTime88]

@NelsonRealTime It really is. I am always amazed when people say they do not like to watch the news or don't care about politics. Those people shouldn't vote. Lawrence O'Donnell is one of the best commentators at MSNBC. He's a pitbull when he gets angry and he makes many great points. I'm a progressive like he is. 

[televin]

Founding Fathers

Blacks 3/5th of a person

Woman cannot vote

[FriPilot]

I wonder if she can see Russia from her house?

[fctchk]

She's got the histrionics, the breast implants and the lobotomy; all she needs is blonde hair and she could be a regular on Fox"news".

[walkermydawg]

@fctchk Dead on balls accurate. I am surprised that she does not fit as the shit in the middle of the moron sandwhich fox has in the am.

[bronzesword06]

Well at least she was kinda' cute or something...

[Antgne]

Watch it and learn people.  Maybe she can't recall her newspapers she reads either. Ignorance is just rampant.

[Antgne]

@AroonR6 Don't worry, they're saving people like this to run for office

[Antgne]

Watch it and learn people. Maybe she can't recall her newspapers she reads either. Ignorance is just rampant.

[standinstann]

This is what happens when people are told to freak out without even knowing what they're freaking out about.

[lpadrian14]

She was just a woman that was confused, not interested in politics and such. Lawrence O' Donnell gave her some talking to and hopefully this expericence changed her view on certain things.

[muratshawn]

The lady shown at the townhall meeting....

Gosh I would give her my whole paycheck, if she could explain to me how the healthcare system in Russia was, or give her my 3 paychecks,if she is able to show me where russia is on the map....I would give her my whole yearl paycheck,if she can tell me what "socialism" is and does.I mean dumb dumb pathetic humans called "americans" actually makes us "the smart educated americans" look pathetic for the rest of the world.She does not even have a passport

[ofosusam]

Thank you Mr O'Donnell. Great job. Continue sticking it to them, and exposing the useless ignoramuses. doesn't know what tax bracket she is in but is mad about it anyway.

She likes her $5000 deductible health insurance? Wow.

post 911 iraq war = Gulf war?

hates socialism but no porblem with medicare and social security.

programs not in the constitution? where is your local fire marshal in the constitution?

[jeanise10]

I pay taxes and I don't wind because it makes the world go round the founding fathers added the bill of rights and they started taxes also, they did not want to send the money to the king anymore, they knew we have to pay taxes to maintain our independence. I hate those who use this as a tactic to keep people angry the right wing gets on my nerve.

[charlie44444]

Yes, her life is going to change so much because of medicare. But war is ok because it happens all the time and no-one in her family has died.

[glassineheart]

what a disgusting pigperson she is.

[Dizzyracoons]

Did insulting this Woman make you feel Better about yourself...??

[thebestanswerever]

@Dizzyracoons I dont agree people should be insulting her , but I do have to say she is a sad example of most of the people who are acting the way she is about the health care bill, most of them dont even know what there talking about, they just know beck and limbaugh told them it was socialist and going to ruin america, that would scare anyone who didn't know what the hell was going on

[glassineheart]

@Dizzyracoons tons, thanks!

[Markcava]

I love it. America is becoming a "socialized" country...hilarious

[smooter33]

Medicare broke, social security broke, post office broke, Amtrack broke!!!

Public schools-failing.

What Government program doesn't waste money and is not a miserable failure?

[RagingLib]

You're a fucking moron.

[Chslosers]

@RagingLib actually you are a fucking moron if you believe the social security "30 years left" bullshit. All social security has is government entitlement bonds that are worth nothing and cannot be sold or traded for real currency. Also this bitch , though dumb, is right about what obama said regarding health care. Lawrence is a liar when he says only the richest taxes will go up. Take a look at the 25-32 percent brackets that are all going up as of the first of january.. oh yea and medicare tax

[TheDukeljk]

@RagingLib He is totally right how stupid are you, get a job you dirt bag hippy, put a bullet in your own head.

[cobraman96]

I noticed no one could dispute what you said! But they sure give you the thumbs down.....Keep up the good work.

[starkweather444]

@smooter33 So I guess you dont support our troops? They are a miserable failure?

Love it or leave it, smooter33

[tom6612]

@smooter33 -- I noticed  you left out the military when you were talking about failed big government institutions. I'm sure that was just a coincidence.

[y0utube1973]

Why do all the right wing dumbnutts say 'I want my america back?' Or the country to be restored to our founding fathers..I got news for you numbnutts. YOur america?? Ask the indians about 'your america' .Secondly the founding fathers?? You hypocrite, BUsh used the constitution like a doormat. Where were you when he was disrespecting the constitution. Didn't you fell it your duty to defend the constitution then??

[y0utube1973]

Fix News just offered her a TV show after her performance. She is just repesting the hypocrite lines of Hannity et al. Aren't the republicans good at creating fear among people..hmmm mushroom clouds, WMD's..

[legalizemarijuananos]

what an idiot. i have such an urge to shove a pie in her disgusting face.

[Palin123Sucks]

O'Donnell completely destroyed this Republican plant with little effort. Keep playing into Obama & the Dems hands, wingnuts.

[TheDukeljk]

@Palin123Sucks Go suck some nigger cock, fag wad.

[wntoply6]

@TheDukeljk wow, & i bet you call yourself a "christian"republican, with the emphasis (if you don't know what that word means, there's a book called a "dictionary" you can use to get the meaning) on "christian".

it never ceases to amaze me how those like you "want their country back", have "god on their side", are "christians" & live in the ignorant, intolerant, bigoted, fear mongering, hate filled south, consider themselves the "real americans".

just goes to prove, bigoted ignorance is bliss!

[xpat73]

She flat out lied. She has been heavily been involved in politics.....

[denholt]

"I don't want this country turning into Russia."

Hmmm. I've lived in 4 time zones, know literally hundreds of people, and I don't know anyone who DOES want this country to be Russia. I really loathe paranoid right-wingers such as this fraud.

[jlaurson]

Lawrence O'Donnell is such a relief to watch and listen to since Chris Matthew has turned into an unhinged nutter.

[SpinachSalad01]

I said it when the Katy Abram videos first aired, she was a plant and her interviews prove she has the intelligence of one too.

Check out: Daily KOS: Katy Abram is a 9-12 Organizer (Updated)

It shows proof in Katy's own words through various posts how she is a 9/12 plant and organizer.

You can even purchase a t-shirt promoting her personal, political beliefs from KatyGo.

She is basically an unregistered lobbyist.

Katy, you and the giant can go back to sleep now!

[tegab]

i dont understand what she is saying. she doesn't want public option and now she does. she is contradicting herself.

[daddydon48]

Probably a nice lady who listens and believes all the crap Sean, Rush and Beck put out there. I guess thats what makes this country great, morons like them can run their mouths feeding red meat to the racist base and alot of normal people get caught up in it, still "we the people" survive. There's a group of assholes who say "they want their country back", sorry, its was never "yours" to begin with, belongs to all of us, not just people who carry bibles and guns around.

[andid]

This is kind of low-hanging fruit, wouldn't you say?
