hey JD, when Obama "THE PRESIDENT" urges his supporters to "get in the faces of people and yell at them" or urges his suporters and the union thugs, Acorn to go after other concerned Americans at these "town hall" meetings that the dems are so afraid of...is that also "riling the drones and feeding the ignorant"?...seems those companies are more afraid of what the Obama government will do to them than what Glenn Beck can do for them...the thugs, rats, liars are running our government and you appear to have a problem with this being pointed out by anyone...

btw...the left/dems loved/supported/funded Ciny Sheehan when she was "outrageous"..that was until she started sleeping in front of Pelosi's house and going after dem memebrs of congress, then they had her arrested...but when she was in Bush's ditch, she was a hero...the left has made a living w/ rent a mobs, outrageous idiots like Franken, Matthews, most of Hollywood, Michael Moore...

Be careful what you say, because if the left doesn't like it, or it is disparaging to the Prez, then you could be ratted out by our new breed of "civilian spies".

Imagine if a republican president had urged his public to be ever-vigilant against those that would speak ill against them?

Isn't it funny that the dems don't have a problem with curtailing freedom of speech, as long as it isn't what they're spewing?

We are heading down a dangerous path, and when we are being led by inept leaders, or self-serving hacks, we will either be like lemmings heading to the sea, or ...(oh, wait, they haven't left us any other option because we can't say anything bad about the president, his actions or even his policies without being persecured).

I may have to invest in some "protection" for when the crap hits the fan.

the beauty in all of this is that Obama and the dem leadership and their minions are exposing themselves for the elitist, divsive, deceptive, radical hypocrits that they are, they don't get it but Americans do, just look at the polls, they will have their clingers who will continue to defend them but this isn't going to fly with most Americans, the outrageous quotes that are being complied from the mouths of these rats should be played over and over again till 2010, or at least until they forcibly shut down all opposition...

Do you have any idea what you're talking about? I tend to think not.

The "concerned Americans" you speak of have essentially been swooping into the town hall meetings with the sole intention of disrupting the meetings.

These "concerned Americans" you speak of are nothing but a piss-poor representation of those opposed to the Health Care proposals. Which is a shame because now no one talking against the bill will be taken seriously. This just gives more ammo for the Dems to criticize the Republicans to invalidate many valid points.


On the complete other hand, your post has absolutely nothing to do with the topic I posted about. It's one thing to criticize the President with valid points in a reasonable way - but Glenn Beck incapable of presenting his opinion reasonably or with validity.

I think Scott knows full well what he's talking about. You're the one who doesn't.

[QUOTE=JohnnyD] The "concerned Americans" you speak of have essentially been swooping into the town hall meetings with the sole intention of disrupting the meetings. [ENDQUOTE]

Is it possible, in your opinion, that the "concerned Americans" did not "swoop" into the meetings but got there as everyone else did? And is it possible that they see and experience the meetings not as a place to openly discuss all points of view but as tools to promote THE PLAN? Is it possible that they have seen the power of COMMUNITY ORGANIZING"--how well it has worked for Obama and feel free to borrow his tactics?

[QUOTE=johnnyD] These "concerned Americans" you speak of are nothing but a piss-poor representation of those opposed to the Health Care proposals.

Have you noticed that the Dems have a filibuster proof senate? Have you noticed, if they can get all Dems on board they can pass whatever they want? Even a Government Health Care bill that you dissaprove of? And the only way to stop it is to scare the Bejesus out of enough Dems from conservative states to oppose the plan? Have you noticed that only a few Dems are afraid of your "valid points", and that if the intended PR victory that the so-called town hall meetings, staged to soften public opposition to THE PLAN works, those few Dems (along with some party arm twisting and political promises) will come on board and all your "valid points" will be irrelevant? What, btw (or precisely, as you like to say), are your valid points? Do you speak them? Do you go to the meetings to present serious polite conversation? What are you doing to stop a flawed bill, or is it just a polite matter between civilized folk, and the winner takes all, and the most drastic shift in American values will have been civilly, peacefully, and orderly won? Are you putting up any kind of fight?
