Health Care Reform Town Hall Meeting Hillsboro, MO Jefferson County

Town hall meeting on health care reform hosted by Sen. Claire McCaskill in Jefferson College's Field House in Hillsboro, Missouri. A man stands up for his 1st amendment rights, and officers back off. Just goes sometimes good things happen when you stand up for your rights. There were two women with posters which were NOT ALLOWED, who were kicked out before the man with the flag was confronted and allowed to stay. Small flags as long as they were not on poles were allowed. I'm sick of people playing the race card with me. Being white doesn't have anything to do with it. For those that have a problem call the college and ask them why. Oh, just below is a link to the video of the woman who was kicked out and had her poster torn up by a man, who by the way was arrested! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7zfawMm-So

UPDATE! Here's a link to a story and video of what really went on with the black women & the white man who were removed from the meeting: http://maggiesnotebook.blogspot.com/2009/08/james-winfrey-is-rosa-parks-arres... It's on Maggie's Notebook website. The headline is "James Winfrey is Rosa Parks Arrested Sign Grabber" Maxine Johnson has Rosa Parks Sign" The video shows that the man didn't twist her arm like she said he did. He didn't lay a finger on her. Nope, not one finger, in fact I think she pushed him. No, he shouldn't have torn up the poster, and she shouldn't have lied, and to lie on national t.v. This racist card playing crap is a bunch of BS! I'm sick of it!!

The woman's poster was SMALL, NOT on a pole AND IT was ROLLED UP. She went by the SAME guidelines and hers was not even being displayed. The producer of this video is a damn liar. When something is taken by FORCE it is an ASSAULT whether he touched her or not. And then the woman was treated like the perpetrator and the thief who assaulted her was treated like the victim. You white folks are funny with your semantics. what the police did was racist. The sign posted outside said NO SIGNS.....

About the sign, I was simply stating what the man in the video was told by the president of the college, his flag WAS ALLOWED. Got a problem call the college president! The man who ripped up her sign was arrested! WATCH THE VIDEO LINKED IN THE SIDE BAR! I will not address anymore of this racist BS, because it is what it is BS!

To the lady in the video.The black lady didn't start it.Check the video you will see. It's still a black and white world...rush her out dont do nothing to this man. Wow!

[itsjussttmee]

This had nothing to do with being black or white. The yellow flag the man was holding was approved by the president of the college. The poster the woman had was not permitted. I will post a link of the other video in the side bar.

It's an old dude standing there with a small flag. How does this require any police attention whatsoever?

[MrMeiyo]

It should be mandatory that police officers pass a written and oral exam to show the extent of their Constitutional knowledge as well with the Bill of Rights... Most police officers haven't a clue about inalienable rights. Almost EVERY SINGLE one I have come in contact with, will try and skirt passed your rights if they asses you aren't knowledgeable and it makes it easier on them. I feel for them its a hard job, but if you aren't willing to uphold our rights, YOU AREN'T MEANT TO BE A COP.

Body Slam the pigs. Are we going to let them push us around??? Probably yes. Because America is dead.

[sguardian870]

wait so a black woman whose poster is folded and attacked by a white man who rips her property is not racist and is ok she broke the rule, but when a white man stands with the sign on his head held up high is allowed to stay. thats not racist wow. That is very equal indeed.

[dantej32]

I guess you also blame the woman for getting raped

[dantej32]

In you sidebar, you stated," A man stands up for his 1st amendment rights, and officers back off." So are only white folk have first amendment rights? So just because words are written on a piece of cloth, it makes a difference,GOTCHA. i understand now. What was racist was not about the poster. the racist act was by the police that dragged and hustled the victim out like she was the PERP. hE STOLE her PROPERTY AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU still WANT TO BLAME her!

[dantej32]

It stated NOTHING about being on poles. Senator McCaskill herself stated that. So PLEASE stop the damn lies.

Yeah a white man rips a up a Rosa Parks Poster and it has nothing to with race . A ton of white people cheer the ripping of a African-American hero and it has nothing to do with race. A white man is has nicely to take down his sign.. in a different city and people say it is the browns shirts coming , and say things like get the chimp out . Yeah there is nothing racist about that stuff.
