2 things: Who in the Democratic leadership said 150 people in Longmont are "part of a mob"? And 2, how come during 5:48 minutes is not one specifical detail from the proposed health bill even discussed? The answer to both is that US politics has been taken over by manipulated, childish, and uneducated buffoons. It's embarrassing.

MoralMoney, I intentionally cut this video to only include comments about the mob charge. If you want to see comments about the health proposal, see that video. But this event took place before the health bills had solidified, so obviously nobody talks about the particular bills crafted since then.

So, in other words, only Democrats who toe the Democratic line are "just plain folks," while Republicans -- especially ones active in their communities! -- are not. I see marcsobel's point -- perfectly. (Incidentally, I'm registered unaffiliated.) -- Ari Armstrong

Ahh. One of the famous "manwho" statisitics, as in, "I know a man who had to wait 5 years for a heart transplant in Canada." You know what "manwho" statisitics they have about us? "I know a man who works at a hostpital in the US and he had to take a homeless person and put them outside to die because they didn't have health insurance." Nice, huh?

One of my best friends was born in Austria and grew up in Canada. He told horror stories about Canadian health care. I'll never forget this story about when he broke his ankle and the only doctor on hand to put it in a cast was a pediatrician. It was not properly set and had to be reset two weeks later. While he went into shock behind one curtain his wife discovered the MD outside smoking. He was trying to calm his nerves to deal with the heart attack case behind another curtain.

The shut down the meeting shouting is totally contrived. The opponents of health care reforms are morons, but they have a right to speak. The lies have to stop. Lies about the Canadian Health care system make me vomit. The Obama is a socialist thing is a sad leftover from McCain Failin. Seniors get single payer health care, so do Veterans. All Obama wants to do is take the power away from the Insurance companies and give it to consumers.

Obama the "Community Organizer" radical is using tactics right out of his bible, Rules for Radicals, by Saul Alinsky. "Accuse other of doing what you do." His whole life as a student, CO, junior senator, through president was based on using shills to disrupt society. Now he's accusing American citizens who aren't going to take this socializm crap anymore of behaving with contrived anger and being shills for the insurance companies. I guess only the left has free speech according to dems.
