32. They've been doing that since the McCarthy era
Feb. 9, 1950: "I have here in my hand a list of 205—a list of names that were made known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping policy in the State Department."

They've been doing versions of that one ever since. This was just the latest version.

16. Right off the
bat she proves she drinks the koolaid of Beck, Limpballs and Hannity.

People are being forced to accept a new health insurance plan? No, not really sweet lady. But then you don't really pay attention as don't the others of your ilk.

It's real simple, you like your insurance, you can keep it. Period, end of story.

I also liked that gentleman in the audience reminding everyone about the Preamble to the Constitution "To provide for the general welfare" I believe that is the best argument against that bull shit "socialism" frame.

Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Turborama.

22. Something tells me he'll be attacked...
The old lady, while duly misinformed, wasn't being rude or anything. It'll be spun as him making fun of an old lady and laughing at her expense I'm sure by certain news networks.

And for sure she's old enough for Medicare.

just misinformed, which is why town hall meetings can be a good thing if they're not hijacked by extremists.

41. Mis-informed people need a brain transplant..........sorry, but old
Medicare people.......they should be told at the door, that this forum is NOT about them!

Screw their freedom of speech.....kick them out at the door.....no vote, no voice..old people should just DIE...Sarah Palin told us all about how this will happen under Obama care.


Do I actually need to post a sarcasm icon here?

28. I say let folks like this have what they want
If they don't want socialism. Lets let them have it their way. They can have all the privatization they want. However, they won't get to use our socialized public highways, police services, fire department services, etc.

I say we allow them to put up or shut up..

52. Yeah...Beck was born and raised in Larson's district
Born in Mount Vernon and graduated high school up near the canadian border in Bellingham. Then he left the area. Washington is full of home-grown nuts.

46. Wonder where she got her "facts" on the breakdown of the 46 million uninsured
Also nice to know she doesn't give a shit about people uninsured because they're currently unemployed/between jobs.

Gotta love that compassionate conservatism!

48. I rated it up. Here's my YouTube reply:
I was born in this country.

Hey- I've worked hard all my life and couldn't afford health insurance. I lost one eye due to glaucoma I couldn't get cared for.

Republicans want to deny me health care so I lose the other eye and become completely blind.

Thanks a lot, you phony America-hating Republicans. You despise your fellow countrymen, don't you?

But you sure love your corporate slave masters, don't you? You like to deceive yourselves that some day, you can be just like them.
