Rush Limbaugh on Friday received a call from a couple who attended the Tampa Townhall meeting. This is that Rush call as a voiceover of some YouTube videos.
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: We have Beth and Jerry from Tampa, Florida. They are on two phones in their home, and they were at the Kathy Castor town hall meeting last night where the SEIU people showed up and there was a lot of thuggery going on. Welcome to the program. What can you tell us?
BETH: Well, I guess I'll start first because I'm the chatty one.
RUSH: All right.
RUSH: Now, there were 1,000 of you, right?
BETH: Right.
RUSH: And they put the SEIU thugs in through a side door. They got them in there advance, under handicapped or some sort. Maybe that was --
RUSH: So they stacked the room with Obama supporters, which are union thugs, half of the room which had a 250 capacity, right?
BETH: Well, we had waited an hour in line and we were right at the doors where you are going in and they had the doors open into the union hall, into the meeting room. And they had a speaker outside but it wasn't working. And people in the hallway were yelling, "Let us hear," and they thought we were saying, "We want Obama," but it was "Let us hear." And they couldn't get the speaker to work. So we're all standing there. Well, people outside were going, "Open meeting! Open meeting! Take it outside," so everybody could hear because there were so many people there. Well, they decided too much noise was going on in the hallway and decided to close the doors. Well, somehow I got pushed into the room, into the meeting room when the thugs came out. They came out four abreast with their arms up. I got pushed in, and my husband, who was right behind me in the green shirt, then was pushed against the wall. My daughter managed to get over to him to try and get them off of my husband.
RUSH: Why'd they push him against the wall?
BETH: Because they wanted to shut the door to the room. They were shutting the doors. And the doors open into the hallway.
BETH: Yeah. And at that point they had my husband pinned against the wall, but I was trying to get out to him and they wouldn't let me out of the room.
BETH: Right. At any rate, when they had my husband pinned against the wall, I was going hysterical. We went to ask specific questions on health care. I have read the bill. There was no addressing of any questions. I was in the meeting hall after they shut the doors. I did not leave because I wanted to hear what was said.
RUSH: Yeah. From the video I saw, Kathy Castor just tried to make speech. She wasn't entertaining any questions and people were standing up and disagreeing when she said various things, correct?
BETH: That's correct. And when people were standing up agreeing, members that were supporting her were in the audience taking our pictures. It was almost like intimidation. Well, it was intimidation --
RUSH: Of course it was.
BETH: -- because the thug men stood all around the room.
RUSH: Because you're out there "sabotaging" democracy, Harry Reid says. They are out there to get your picture to send it to the Obama snitch website probably.
BETH: Well, I'll report myself, thank you very much. (laughs) I love that idea. But my husband is not a big man, in the green shirt?
RUSH: Yeah.
BETH: He's about 5' 9", weighs about 170. He has Stage 4 cancer. He has a severed rotator cuff, a port in his chest and an ileostomy. When they shoved him against the wall, I was telling them this: "Let me out! Let go of him! You're hurting him. He's sick." They kept right on doing it and wouldn't let me out and wouldn't let him go. The man with the ripped shirt then came in to help my husband and his shirt got ripped then by the thugs.
RUSH: All right, now I know who you are. Your husband was wearing a button-down green shirt. This guy was in a T-shirt, green shirt.
BETH: Yes. Yes. So the initial attack was against my husband, because he was standing at the doors as they closed and they didn't want him in. So they shoved him back.
According to ABC, Caster said, "The rude behavior and those tactics of disruption are not going to help people pay their medical bills." (http://www.abcactionnews.com/news/local/story/Day-after-town-hall-debacle-charged-emotions/gJuBPzHJlU2h8qA_wFKH-g.cspx)
