I wish I could have been there to be hauled off too! It's a joke that single payer was excluded. I'm sure all the insurance lobbyists were given prime spots. Like that blond haired chick that shows up on everything.

all of those people in there pretending to laugh at the ones standing up, but really they are just trying to hide their embarressment. the subconcious embarressment that come from realizing that they will live out their entire lives as obedient slaves with no freedom or the balls excercise it.

Americans are getting organized and are taking the voice of "Single Payer" to non-violent civil disobedience. If our elected Officials and the Health Care Insurers think this is going away, its not.

Looks like the terrorists have won. Now it's Octover and 4200 people have seen this video. Public Option people think it is the same as single payer. Only rally covered on TV was the over 55 hate mongers who already have Medicare and all they want is to get rid of Obama so they have managed to co-opt the far left as well. What a joke. Divide and conquer works again. When will America wake up? Watch, my comment won't even post

To everyone who loves Obama: WE are still in Iraq and Afghanistan, the criminal justice system is still racist, we will not get single payer because of DEMOCRATS, and the best we are getting wirt politicians is dogshit like Senator Brad Sherman, the smirking fuck in this video who is too busy fellating the corproate interests that own this country.

We need a viable third party NOW! Let's form one.

HI, the one who moved out of the way with a smirk on his face was Senator Brad Sherman of California. He's the one who said he had been threatened with martial law if the bail out last Sept. wasn't passed.

Fuck Max Baucus

[thewomandirector]

My hero, Kevin Zeese! If only more bright, articulate people would speak up...

[mylesh2000]

Al Franken, another sorry ass neo-liberal who opposes SP, will make 60. If the Democrats do not remove Baucus as the head of this committee, BREAK THEIR FILIBUSTER_PROOF MAJORITY. Baucus isn't up for quite a while, but vote out the other DEM senators.

Corporate whore Democrats: change my ass!

[mylesh2000]

I just saw it again, and this REALLY fucking pisses me off! Those people around Zeese smirking anger me as much as that corporate whore Baucus.
