Heckler interrupts Obama health pitch

Thursday, September 17, 2009


A heckler was escorted by uniformed officers from President Obama's speech to students at the University of Maryland College Park Thursday, after he briefly interrupted the president's defense of his health care program.

The young man, wearing a grey polo shirt and a beret, began yelling from his second row seat at the university's cavernous basketball arena.

"Obama you're a liar. Obama, your health care kills children. Abortion is murder," he yelled.

[trayfoot]

1. Anyone know what he shouted??

[Kadie]

21. Called the President a Liar.

Just edited my originial post.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

51. Joe Wilson has made "You're a Liar!" the battle cry of wingnuts

Simple, easy to remember. Doesn't matter whether it's true or not. Wilson managed to lower the level of public civility another two notches, if that's possible.

[roguevalley]

75. that girl in the white shirt is ready to clock him. I wish she had.

[Make7]

2. Did he think it was a joint session of Congress? ( n/t )

[PA Democrat]

3. Any idea what he was shouting?

BTW, what is with the guy's tongue? He looks like an overheated dog.

[Kadie]

22. I just edited my original post.

He called the President a liar and said the new healthcare bill would kill children.

[PA Democrat]

57. Thanks Kadie.

Another factually challenged disrupter. Joe Wilson should be proud.

[whoneedstickets]

4. Probably something about needing to subsidize haircuts...

..or perhaps a cash for clunkers program for worn-out driving caps.

[Cha]

65. Lol!

About as much sense, no doubt.

[Chemical Bill]

87. Just because there are a few bad-apple longhairs...

doesn't mean everybody needs a haircut.

[CatWoman]

5. At least Gallagher left his watermelon and trademark sledgehammer at home

[Kadie]

6. ROFL!!!

[LostInAnomie]

11. Maybe that's what he was yelling about.

He was pissed that Obama hadn't smashed a melon yet.

[quiet.american]

28. No you didn't! Lol! nt

[Jennicut]

32. OMG, that is exactly what that crazy guy looks like!

LOL

[Javaman]

109. ...

LOL!!!!

[BlooInBloo]

116. Win.

[LostInAnomie]

7. I'm guessing the hair is a fake.

And, he's hiding the obviousness of the wig with the hat.

If not, he looks even dumber.

[LeftinOH]

41. Ditto: "'Hippie'-style wig and beret 'costume'"- so as to fit in with the other 'hippies'

-I wouldn't doubt it a bit.

[defendandprotect]

81. The "white" guy who beat up an African-American soldier at ...

Cracker Barrel also had long hair --

Obviously, the right wing trying to confuse their audience?

[Blue_Tires]

69. agreed...he's dressed so badly that has to be a disguise...

[Rambis]

8. As a member of the hat over the mullet party I protest!

[Sebastian Doyle]

9. I've seen this piece of shit before

in one of the videos from a teabagger protest. I'll bet he's on somebody's payroll.

[eShirl]

27. I'd love to see that, if anyone can find it. n/t

[intheflow]

53. Here it is. This loony is in the first 30 seconds.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUPMjC9mq5Y

[Morning Dew]

56. good catch - sure looks like the same guy.

[defendandprotect]

80. Yes, it does -- GOP/"pro-life" thug --

[LynneSin]

89. Please do NOT call them pro-life

These are the same people that cheer on war (but won't fight in it) and support the death penalty. Plus they would rather have a healthcare system that would dump you the momenty they find out that you have a serious illness. These nutjobs tried to pin 'Death Panels' on Obama but they already exist when healthcare bigwigs give out bonus for agents who dump policyholders who need their healthcare the most.

[defendandprotect]

91. "Pro-life" murderers and thugs have labelled themselves . . .

though it looks more like they're content to sacrifice real lives of doctors,

clinic personnel -- and, btw, women -- in their campaign to save the fertilized egg!!!

[bettyellen]

96. we should call them anti choice. it is more accurate no?

[Bluenorthwest]

98. That's what I call them, because that is what they are

[bettyellen]

101. thank you!

[defendandprotect]

105. When you're out there murdering doctors, I think "Pro-life" makes the stupidity clearer . . .

for now --

And too often they're only "anti-choice" they're anti-birth control!!!

And anti-sex education --

[Rebubula]

64. Awesome catch...

..same build and rings on the right hand.

[Maru Kitteh]

74. The glasses are exactly identical, as is the obsession with the precious goo from God.

Good catch indeed.

[Skidmore]

82. Send it to Olbermann or Rachel to look into.

[joshcryer]

90. As soon as I saw him I was going to post this. Yep, same guy.

[DollyM]

93. this is a keeper . . .

It would be funny if it were not so tragic . . . these people are the same ones who believe you can get pregnant from a toilet seat and hook is still roaming around looking for parking teenagers to kill!

[mitchum]

102. That is indeed the same teabagging scumbag

[me b zola]

58. Great catch!

[intheflow]

59. I recognized him right off, too.

From that same video. I posted the link in this thread, below (post #53).

[PaDem]

107. He's with Randall Terry's group........

pretty sure he was with Terry when he disrupted the town hall mtng in Reston, VA involving Howard Dean.

[RaleighNCDUer]

10. It looks like he's about to get something in the back of the head

from the woman in the white T behind him.

[Riley18]

12. Looks like he is wearing a disguise.

That cannot be his real hair and he is clearly wearing fake glasses with funny nose mask

[The Midway Rebel]

13. Members of mullet haircut brigade strike again!

Man, those guys are giving the mullet an even worse reputation than it already had!

[redqueen]

14. Didn't conservative audience members do a little more reacting...

when liberals shouted during Bush's speeches? Or was that just for asking unwanted questions?

[Spazito]

15. Alright, what IS it with the resurgence of the mullet among the batshit crazy...

do they think it is a secret code so they can identify each other and no one else will figure it out? Yep, given intellect is not their strong suit, I suspect that's gotta be it!

[eShirl]

30. For them, it never went away.

[bettyellen]

16. I'm starting to think they should invote these assholes to come up + have a rational debate, LOL ...

because obviously, they can not gutless hit n run sound bite BS.

[The Magistrate]

17. Any Word On What The Critter Said, Ma'am?

[Kadie]

19. "Obama you're a liar. Obama, your health care kills children. Abortion is murder,"

Just found this...

[The Magistrate]

23. Thank You, Ma'am

Suspected it was something on that line, but it is nice to have the details.

[intheflow]

61. Here he is spewing his garbage on 9/12:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUPMjC9mq5Y

[defendandprotect]

85. Aside: Notice the frequent "Bury Obamacare With Kennedy" signs . . !!!

Reminds me of when Ollie North ran for Gov of VA --
One of the buttons read ....

"Where is Oswald when you really need him" --

that was while Clinton was president!!!

The low road is never too low for them!!!

And they will take every effort to encourage thugger and even violence.

[Vickers]

18. Rivers Cuomo is really letting himself go...

[CrownPrinceBandar]

24. LOL!

[Rude Dog]

20. Just another hateful shill.

Don't worry - I'm sure he'll find his life a lot more difficult now that he's exposed himself as a bleating idiot.

[myrna minx]

29. --or be given his own show on Fox News.

I can't wait to see the new tea bag placards: "Joe Willsome/Yelling Guy for Presidident!! 2012!!1!"

[Rude Dog]

34. That's pretty likely, too.

Remember, when we criticized Bush from "free speech zones", we were all evil terrorist America-haters.
When these right-wing scum scream at the President from mere feet away, they're patriots speaking truth to power.

I hate the way this country's gone these past several months. Reasonable discourse has been supplanted by idiots like this screaming moron. I fear what's next.

[seabeyond]

25. to the poster stating "fuck civility" here ya go. and huge thanks to wilson, repugs, fox

for promoting all this shit.

you lie

as the young stupid ass brainwashed kid spews garbage that isnt true.

[Bluerthanblue]

46. you are right-

they are following their leaders-

[butterfly77]

79. and the money..

[The Backlash Cometh]

26. Sounds like a kook.

[HopeOverFear]

31. HE WAS INTERVIEWED LAST NIGHT ON THE LOCAL NEWS!!!!

I saw him. He was interviewed on the local NBC affilate. He's from the Republican Student Union or something like that. He said he was planning to attend the rally, but only to listen.


He lied.

[Kadie]

33. LOL! That is priceless!!!

[Rude Dog]

35. What? Really?

He's a Rethug? Why, I never would have guessed it!

This is the new rightard meme: Screaming at the Prez. They're going to do it until it escalates beyond merely screaming.

[HopeOverFear]

55. Yep

[intheflow]

70. What's your local affiliate?

I wonder if they have last night's interview up on their web site.

[RayOfHope]

36. His posture/body language is weird. Was he high or something? n/t

[dgibby]

37. Nice of the police to find the idiot and return him to his village. n/t

[Mabus]

38. Looks like Andrew Beachum, a professional anti-abortion protester

He's a professional protester who was outside Arlington HS when Obama spoke there. The watch looks the same.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

[byronius]

40. Good call. I think you're right.

[Mabus]

45. He shaved but he's still got the little triangle and is wearing the same watch

But he's still the village idiot.

[Mabus]

94. Confirmed, found the press release

Press release I found doing a search on Andrew's name.

COLLEGE PARK, Md., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following was released today by Joe Landry, Operation Rescue: Insurrecta Nex:

Obama's speech was interrupted today by Andrew Beacham, 26, member of Operation Rescue: Insurrecta Nex, saying, "You are a liar! Your health care kills children! Abortion is murder! And you are a murderer! Insurrecta Nex!" http://ca.sys-con.com/node/1111646

The press release has a phone number which is used for a call to protest Obama (pdf at: http://www.ahumbleplea.com/Docs/Oct30demonstration.pdf ) last year. The call to protest Obama is hosted at ahumbleplea.com which features on of Randall Terry's websites.

Part of Terry's new Operation Rescue mission, Insurrecta Nex:
Mr. Terry has renamed his movement Operation Rescue Insurrecta Nex - the latter two words meaning 'insurrection against death' in Latin - and is trolling for new affiliates.

"My mission is to raise up a new generation," he said, "to recruit them, train them and unleash them." (from June 14, 2009) http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jun/14/abortion-fo...

[LiberalEsto]

99. He's a little old to be a college student

Wonder how much he was paid?

[byronius]

103. Pretty damned creepy.

And the long hair must be a disguise.

[Mabus]

114. In the earlier photos he had a pony tail

At least that's what it looks like to me.

I saw on his twitter feed (http://twitter.com/abeacham ) the other day that he "infilitrated" a Planned Parenthood meeting. I would venture to guess that it was an open meeting and he thinks his pony tail helps his deceptions.

[byronius]

120. I found him in this TPM video. About 20 seconds in.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljFKK7XvsCs

The ponytail looks real.

He blames 9/11 on abortion.

[Mabus]

121. That's him alright

He's trying to become their new poster boy.

[Mabus]

122. Found him around 4:40 of this, says he's from Elkhart, IN

He says he marched with Keyes and that he's just standing up. Well, he must have really caught their eye because he's now working in the DC area a lot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDYI3iaCM4A

[Sebastian Doyle]

43. Ah, so he's one of the Randall Terry flunkies

That's where I saw him before, probably. At the Virginia town hall meeting with Howard Dean and Jim Moran that was disrupted by Randy and his merry band of fucking imbecile terrorists.

[Barack_America]

83. He must be working on credit now. Isnt Operation Rescue bankrupt?

[Mabus]

86. He must have found a new sponsor

He's from Indiana but has been hanging around the DC area a lot lately. I'm sure he's got some new sponsors now.

Wouldn't it be funny if he was involved with the C Street group? I'll see what more I can find out about him.

[Kadie]

104. Wow

You all amaze me. Good job! Looks like this guy is making the rounds.

[Warren DeMontague]

39. Bet that "hair" is attached to the idiotic cap.

Yeah, right, dude. We know you look like a Jr. Club For Growth member under there. Who are you trying to kid?

[Bluerthanblue]

42. WILSON's seeds are sprouting- this is why a formal rebuke was

needed, and makes every Dem who didn't vote for the rebuke complicit. That includes my Rep. Paul Hodes- (I've written him expressing my disapointment).

[Cha]

71. I will be contacting Arcuri

in my District 24 New York and expressing the same displeasure.

Thanks for the reminder, Bluerthanblue, I don't know about your Rep but mine is a blue dog.

[ddeclue]

44. Shut up and sit down Congressman Wilson!!

[Bluerthanblue]

47. news flash for mr. heckler- WAR kills children, and other living things

where has this concerned citizen been for the last 8yrs?

[Altoid_Cyclist]

60. Good call!

Where the hell were these idiots when * decided (the decider) thought that it'd be fun to go to war?
The Reptilian party has become a one trick pony. All they know how to do is attempt to yell loud enough in the vain hope that it will sound like they're still in control.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

48. "I demand my 15 minutes of fame!"

[Froward69]

49. what a jerk off

GEE Thanks sen Wilson for the precedent. you can put your tongue in a light socket now...

[Fla Dem]

50. Look for hime on O'Rielly, Hannity, Beck or all three. Their newest hero. n/t

[Blue_Tires]

72. yeah, he'll get his little spotlight on the cable news circuit next week...

this is something I really blame on "joe-the-nonunion-apprentice".... ignorant, jackass fuckwittery continues to get very positive reinforcement in the media...

[newportdadde]

52. I recognize that guy without the fake hair from a thread here in the past week.

Was a healthcare thread that had pictures of this guy seems to get around.

[Mabus]

54. It's Andrew Beacham

He gets around. He's a professional anti-abortion protester. He's been removed from a lot of venues from Obama's Notre Dame speech to Sotomayor's hearings. More recently he was outside of the high school in Arlington where Obama spoke to kids.

[dmr]

106. Sounds like he's a stalker. n/t

[ecstatic]

62. Wilson and all his enablers/apologists made that moment possible

even encouraged that moment...

[LeftHander]

63. That hat can't hide the mullet of a Moran....nt

[Maru Kitteh]

66. That man should have his uterus removed so he never has to worry about needing an abortion.

Right after his brain transplant.

[intheflow]

67. .

[Cha]

68. Perfect cop that came to get

him and escort the idiot out.

[gatorboy]

73. Who invited Dan Cortese?

[PVnRT]

76. Cue the righties - "Obama uses cops to kill free speech!"

Free speech, of course, only applies to what they want to say.

[butterfly77]

77. Just as I thought ...

they would be coming out the woodworks after Wilson. I now look for them everytime he speaks now.

[G_j]

78. isn't that a FRENCH hat he's wearing?

and that hippie long hair..

he's gotta clean up his act.

[spanone]

84. joe wilson's kid??? these motherfuckers are pissing me off.

[Ian David]

88. You sure that's not David Cross in disguise doing a bit?

FYI: I love David Cross.

[frylock]

95. you done been cross'd, my man!

loves me some cross too!

[Libertas1776]

100. I was thinking that very same thing

although more of a cross between David Cross and Gallagher.

[peekaloo]

113. Hilarious. Although he also resembles Tom Cruise in psycho mode.

maybe next protest he'll show up as that little burn victim.

[marmar]

92. The woman in the white blouse looks like she's going to kick his ass.....

n/t

[treestar]

97. Oh geez, now this is going to become a fad

Thanks a lot, Addision.

[kentuck]

108. He was a plant ...

By the Republican Party. They are back to their old Nixon tricks. He was wearing a wig and the cap was in place to hold it on. Today, he probably has his tie on and is laughing with his comrades at some right-wing tax-exempt organization?

[Javaman]

110. Wearing a beret, sporting a mullet and screaming at tv screens is no way to go through life, son. nt

[Blue_Tires]

111. ttt

[area51]

112. That's a laugh.

"Obama, your health care kills children."

There's no bill been put into law yet. But I guess he's down with 273 men, women and children who are killed every day by lack of healthcare in this country.

"Abortion is murder."

Really? Then maybe he should try getting behind single-payer healthcare so everyone would have a right to life. Dumbfuck.

[dajoki]

115. K&R

[and-justice-for-all]

117. What a fuck up....nt

[LeftinOH]

118. Is the (hot) girl behind him applauding him, or applauding his removal?

[gbate]

119. Is she going to throw something at him?

[msanthrope]

123. Anti-choice men always look like they've never come close to a vagina. n/t
