**UPDATE** 10/16/09: a clip from this video was used in a segment with D.L. Hughley on the Jay Leno Show, 10/15/09. See the segment here: http://www.thejaylenoshow.com/video/clips/dl-in-dc/1167252

Watch at 2:00. Fight breaks out. Health Care town hall with Howard Dean and Jim Moran. This was going on outside the high school where the town hall was in. There was about 3500-4000 people there, but only about half were let in, many others rallied outside.

@n2dbard check your facts pal, if you dont buy health insurance under the new obama socialism healthcare bill you will be fined by the IRS. this will only make you more dependant on the government... try getting a job and working. you will live longer if you get you fat butt off the couch

@n2dbard they aren't republicans they are just people. You were there to cause trouble and you did so. just as a man in hawaii was attempting to do so. what if we one of use went to cause trouble at your rally...you treat him the same way..

Liberals are the most hippocratical people I've ever seen in my life. SICKENING

what is going on? I don't understand...

Total waste of time. Moron will do whatever he wants to do, regardless of what his constituents think. This so-called "fight" reminds me of that scene at the dance in "The Grapes of Wrath", completely orchestrated to cause trouble.

The people there that were holding themselves out as "republicans" were hate filled and either on medication or needed medication. With all the knives stabbing babies and wired LaRouches representing the dissenters, how is anyone supposed to take the republicans seriously. At the same time, they claim that the news is bias and not showing the "real" people. This is not a national revolt, it is simply revolting.

I think we must have come in the other door. It didn't look quite this exciting outside on my side. We did have weird skits and stuff.

Sassygirl: The last time I checked, I was a true American. And what if my idea of liberty is different from yours? Don't I still have a right to it? It's not illegal to make health care available to all. No one is going to make someone sign up for it if they don't want it. Liberty is in the eye of the beholder.
