Trying to Attend Town Hall Meeting: 8/6/09 Debbie Halvorson

We were asked to leave and told that the meeting was for Democrats and Union Members only. When asked when she would have a public meeting we were told that we needed to contact her office and then they kindly asked us to leave.

Let me get this straight...if we disagree with you we are retarded, crazy, fascist, and need to get out of the USA. I guess you believe all opinions other that yours should be silenced? Boy...that sounds American...by the way...I'm not a republican or democrat. I am in favor of just making good decisions. I am a concerned citizen that has questions. It sounds like you may be the fascist not I.

During a Kinzinger appearance Wednesday evening, a group of protestors gathered outside, brandishing signs depicting Kinzinger and other prominent conservative figures — including radio and television host Glenn Beck and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin — with Hitler mustaches smudged on their portraits. A filmographer captured the protest on tape. Though the protestors deny they were acting on behalf of Congresswoman Halvorson, the filmmaker followed them back to Halvorson’s campaign office

We thought it was a town hall meeting. That's what we were told. It wasn't until we got there that we saw the signs. It was strange. I can understand Democrats only but why Union members? Why not Dems and Dentists? Dems and Truck drivers? Dems and Teachers? The whole thing was just weird. We weren't there to disrupt. We had questions. If asking our ELECTED reps questions is disruptive I truly fear for this country.

No....I said "Half the meeting just left" meaning that over half the people there wanted to talk to this politician. I repeat it AGAIN @ 1:28 and neither time did it sound ANYTHING like "half the meeting was black". Please listen before you spew falsehoods.

Lords disregard my last comment.

Hey man just so you know I don't condone violence, and after reading your comment and what you believe in we are no different and I am not a conservative I am a patriot I did not agree with anything Bush did while president. I just took your comment the wrong way the same as you did with mine. But after cooling down and looking everything over I feel I owe you an apology.
