Health Care Reform Town Hall Meeting Hillsboro, MO

Town hall meeting on health care reform hosted by Sen. Claire McCaskill in Jefferson College's Field House in Hillsboro, Missouri. Some women were escorted out by Jefferson County police after a altercation over signs. I don't really know what happened, other than they were a little loud when they came in and some man walked over and ripped up their signs. All were escorted out and I think the man was arrested. I do not have the whole altercation on video, THIS IS ALL I HAVE! UPDATE: Here is a link to the St. Louis Tea Party website where you can read more information about the woman Maxine Johnson who's poster was ripped up. http://stlouisteaparty.com/tag/maxine-johnson/ and here's another one: http://www.24thstate.com/2009/08/maxine-johnson-lies-on-national-television.html

UPDATE: I found this video that shows what really happened, Read the story and watch the video all the way through. Here's the link: http://maggiesnotebook.blogspot.com/2009/08/james-winfrey-is-rosa-parks-arres...

Flags have colors. Not words! The ones I saw, who were left alone were NOT holding up flags! Also..., I've tried to look at the video you seem to reference, but, as usual with you Fox news Junkies (my mother, unfortunately, being one), you're vague, wishful and unclear! I can't find which of "Maggie's Notebook to look at?!

The info side bar has the link. The only signs I saw were outside, maybe there were some inside, but I did not see any. I DO NOT listen to Faux News, don't listen to main stream news period. I only listen to alternative talk radio. I didn't like Bush, and was out there speaking out against him too. Again, read the info in the side bar.

The man that stormed across the aile and RIPPED the sign from her hands was OBVIOUSLY not being cordial and authoritive in his duties!! He was being hostile, And she, wrongly, in my opinion, responded in kind! What is your reasoning for the other people who were allowed to continue to hold up there "patriotic" signs?!

[itsjussttmee]

I know he did, and I don't think he should have. She was being disruptive too. Watch the video I told you about on Maggie's Notebook blog you'll see. As for the ones holding the flags. I was one of them, and we had permission from the president of the college, as long as they were made of cloth & small. Posters were not allowed, I would not have been allowed to have a poster either. If the black lady had 1 of those flags, she would have been able to stay as well.

If you'd like to know what ACTUALLY happened..., you might want to look at the video titled "Full Story of Poster Altercation at McCaskill Event: by Peter Glickert". Pictures speak a thousand words!!

[itsjussttmee]

I've already seen it. The video on Maggie's Notebook is much better. The headline is "James Winfrey is Rosa Parks Arrested Sign Grabber: Maxine Johnson has Rosa Parks Sign" It shows that man did not touch her, didn't lay a finger on her! No, I don't think he should have ripped up her poster, and I really don't think she should have lied about him twisting her arm. She lied a few times, and on national t.v. And as you said, pictures speak a 1,000 words.

She was the only person that there that violated a rule to not carry a sign inside. SHE IS A RACE BAITER!

[reformcongress]

How would you know he was being racist? I would say she was being racist moreso than he was. No one was allowed to carry signs in, and she snuck it in and flaunted it. She didn't prove anything except for her own racism. Guess what, Civil Rights already exist. Exercising them is the problem.

[FreiCleveland]

Good for the people of Missouri!

AMERICA AWAKE!!!

[reformcongress]

She went in there, carrying the sign that was against the rules of the town hall meeting, and then she pretended like she wasn't intending to race bait. She did race bait.  She should be ashamed. Not proud.

[DeWhit007]

Carrying a sign with ROSA PARKS on it makes her racist? I'm sorry...where is the logic behind that?

[reformcongress]

Where? DUMBASS?

[sguardian870]

yes there were u fuck bag its been confirmed fool.

[reformcongress]

There were no signs like that dumbass! You're not too bright, or honest. There were signs comparing Obama to Hitler, but not any of those others you claim. THERE WERE NO OTHER SIGNS THERE EXCEPT FOR THAT BLACK WOMAN'S and flags that said "Don't Tread on Me".

[sguardian870]

then decided to make up for obeying the rule by being racist and rude and ripping the black womans signs up. And leaving all the obama is a nigga sign with the white people up.

[sguardian870]

stupid bitch there were signs with obama is a nigga on it and he is hitler what the fuck would u call that. Racist dumb ass bitch.
