Obama supporter gets thrown out of Townhall Meeting in Tomah WI

[werksdesign]

Doesn't he exemplify the left? While the majority of conservative and concerned citizens wait their turn to speak and do so at the microphone to express their concerns, no doubt with conviction in their voices, they do so with civility while liberals stand and interrupt procedings with loud, uninformed rants.

[defiythelie]

haha I seen the tomah police chief there what a dick.

[defiythelie]

@defiythelie All of TPD are dicks.

[screamingskull]

Did you listen to the guy who was talking before my liberal friend stood up? He said they paid $78,000 out-of-pocket for his daughter's open heart surgery. All you Republicans have that kind of cash lying around? Watcha gonna do when you can't mortgage your house to pay for surgery?

[MsKatrenna]

Watcha gonna do when the federal government can't further mortgage our great great great great grandkids' futures to pay for any more of its boneheaded ideas?

[screamingskull]

When a private company is not making enough profit, as in a private healthcare insurer, they deny coverage... which means people die. It's a fundamental difference - the govt. is not in it to make a profit, they're in it for the benefit of the people.

[BmoreAmerican]

"Watcha gonna do when you can't mortgage your house to pay for surgery? "

Maybe you could get the Federal Reserve to loan you more of the Treasury's freshly printed (and soon to be hyperinflated) money which is being temporarily offered to us by a bunch of loansharking Chinese who want nothing less than two kidneys, your liver, and your spleen in return?

[screamingskull]

As I recall it was Hank Paulson, George W. Bush, John McCain and a whole host of Republicans who cooked up the bailout. but tell me how you remember it...

[BmoreAmerican]

I wonder which team they were playing for on that day - shirts or skins? They might as well be Fabian Socialists operating under a politically Conservative guise as far as I'm concerned. The bailout was cooked up a long time ago and is just a part of their systematic plan to destroy the USA so that they can build their world government in it's ashes. G. Edward Griffin's book 'Creature from Jekyll Island' delves into what they're doing and much of what Griffin wrote has already come true.

@BmoreAmerican You should read William W. Johnstone then.

[smalltown]

actually ,this health reform isn't socialism because not everyone is paying for it and its not free if you need it. only the rich are getting taxed and if you do want the public option you still have to pay for it. its just cheaper!!!!

[MrEMR1976]

Could someone explain to that dolt that fire departments, garbage disposal, etc aren't controled by the federal government. They're controlled by local govt's, and in fact, some areas don't HAVE a fire department because they feel THEY DON'T NEED ONE, or can't afford it. The liberal made a horrible analogy. What a moron.

[screamingskull]

The point is we pay for them with our taxes. Just like the person who doesn't have health insurance and ends up in the emergency room with no way to pay the bill. We pay for that too.

[MrEMR1976]

No, the point is that a) we can't afford it, b) the federal government is inefficent and corrups, and c) they have no business in this aspect of our lives, and d) fire departments, etc are handled LOCALLY, and the people have a say. When it comes to DC, we have no control. THEY DO, and that scares the shit out of people.

[TheAmazingJimmy]

THose people were pretty ignorant, they clapped for both the guy protesting and the guy yelling, then they figured out what he was saying and threw him out.

[solardragon223]

Maybe YOU! shouldn't be calling anybody IGNORANT!!! a couple of people clapped, They were quickly telling him to sit down and leave...And anyone who did clapp obviously agreed with him!!

What a left wing loon. City fire dept's, police and schools were established long before socialism was a thought!

[TheAmazingJimmy]

I don't think you understand what I was saying, the people started clapping because the guy started yelling about something. Then when they actually listened to what he was saying, they escorted the man out because they realized he was agianst them, probably a plant. I just think these people need to quit cheering just because someone sounds aggressive, or yells, or stands there with a mic looking at a congressman or senator. If we're not on our toes then they will get the better of us.

[screamingskull]

"The people started clapping because the guy started yelling" - isn't that one of the tactics that has been dictated to you by your shills for the insurance industry?

[TheAmazingJimmy]

What are you talking about? Could you explain a little further?

[screamingskull]

Amazing Jimmy - Conservatives for Patients' Rights is one of the organizations urging people to protest loudly at these townhall meetings. It's led by Rick Scott, former CEO of Columbia Healthcare, which was found guilty (well, they settled for 1.7 billion) of Medicare fraud in 2003.

[TheAmazingJimmy]

Thanks, didn't know that, btw, I'm not a republican.

I don't fall for the right/left paradigm like the rest of the country does, so many people are so set on cheering for there team to win in the football game called politics that they don't look at what's really happening, all they care about is being cheerleaders for there team.

I hate sports.

[klim8hokes]

"the rightie mob was stupid..."

I've watched this vid 6x now. Where is this "rightie mob" you speak of??? Could it be that anyone that disagrees with you is simply labeled a "mob" in your book?

You ARE the guy in the orange shirt aren't you? He kinda looks like a "Jimbo". Great job on your first TV appearance--you represented you point (and ours) beautifully...

[ToddonCapeCod]

Typical Obama supporter: insane

[maverickpost]

I was there at the town hall 85% are against Obama care and the obama communist movement. And you stupid liberals like Congressmen Kind can't answer how its going to be paid for. Repeal George Bush tax cuts. Stupid progressives its going to be the Commie Obama tax increases. The liberal progressives only know how to demonize someone or group . Now it;s the insurance companys and the big bad insurances ceo's. No to obama care and no to obama crap and trade.and No to the Commies with him.

[BruceMajors]

Actually none of these government services do anything good.

Police are lame and most people are only protected by their locks, guns,and moving to a good neighborhood.

The military is not used to protect us.The Oceans do that.

Public schools produce drop outs and illiterate graduates like this guy

[JayAreDubya]

"The military is not used to protect us.The Oceans do that."

The "Oceans" did a wonderful job on 9-11 and Pearl Harbor.

[whispersinmorn]

Tomah is a good city with great people. No need to broadbrush all because of the action of one stupid Obama supporter. Grow up.

[whispersinmorn]

Obama supporters can make fools of themselves just like some RW fools.

[MsKatrenna]

Only a liberal would make a federal issue out of trash day.

[azjeff1971]

I wish somebody would have had a bottle of piss to splash on the communist. Where is a bottle of piss when you need it?

[canadpol]

Further to that, have not yet seen a video of an opponent of the health care plan being removed for spouting off/yelling out.

And there have been many examples of that.

[bradthetough]

Can you imagine the manufactured outrage if the roles were reversed?!! This would be all over the MSM.

[VinceP1974]

There are no examples like this, duh.

[canadpol]

"GET HIM OUT OF HERE!"

The truth of republican calls for free speech revealed?
