[pearl]

14. Can you believe it's the 25th of August?

The pundits like to claim the country isn't paying attention in August. I'd say the country is paying attention. Just friggin' remember there are more of us than there are of them.

[malaise]

Jim Moran is really unexciting.

[cali]

[progressoid]

46. Yeah, but I wonder how long it going to last

It's like a pro wrestling match!

[bertman]

39. By the title of the thread I thought Dr. Dean was debating a moran (Republican),

aka maroon, idjit, dummy.

I hope someone posts a video of this. I'm still at work and can't see it.

[alsame]

41. It's on CSPAN, so check their website later. nt

[bertman]

43. thanks, alsame, I'll do that. nt

[Sebastian Doyle]

75. On the other hand, some of the teabaggers probably went to the event hoping to see this guy

[bertman]

133. Yeah. Yeah. That's the guy I was thinking of.

:rofl:

[WorseBeforeBetter]

42. Did Moran say something about "carping" to that woman...

in the front row? She walked out; screw her, and let someone more civil have the seat.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

45. Frankly, Moran is terrible at presenting this.

[malaise]

47. Check #44

66. AGREED. He's being booted now.

"Howard Dean is a baby killer." Motherfucker.

[thecrow]

51. He is talking to a terribly difficult crowd

[malaise]

53. True but you wouldn't call him exciting

That said he is handling the myths well.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

48. Addressing the myths...

[WorseBeforeBetter]

54. Standing ovation for Dean.

Phuck yeah.

[malaise]

71. Who's the lunatic European woman

Security take her out.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

80. Along with Ms. Aggrieved Southern Belle.

"They took the microphone away" ... sit down and shut up, woman.

[eleny]

79. Insurance companies have blood on their hands and Terry doesn't give a damn

He's just using this issue to get some camera time.

[alsame]

85. Yep, he doesn't protest when people are allowed to die from denied

of care, does he?

[NYC_SKP]

73. You're NOT MISS APPLETON!!!

[WorseBeforeBetter]

89. It's giving me a HEADACHE.

I can only imagine how Moran and Dean will feel after this. Oy.

[OneGrassRoot]

94. Most of these town hall meetings I've seen look much like this....

Wow. It's mortifying to think there are that many ignorant -- in every sense of the word -- people surrounding us every day.

:puke:

[WorseBeforeBetter]

98. As Baby Beck sez, they do "surround us."

Barf is right.

[G_j]

99. this the first I've watched, outside of clips

if the rest are like this, that is unsettling!

[G_j]

93. now I'm scared

the zombies showed up in one place..

Dean is great BTW

[Sebastian Doyle]

83. "All those in favor of getting rid of Medicare, raise your hands"

Good one, Dr. Dean!

listening to McCain.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

95. He's talking on the phone during the answer! What an asshole. (n/t)

[alsame]

101. He was just there to agitate, he's not interested in the answer. nt

[Sebastian Doyle]

96. He's also on a cell phone to somebody

Probably DICK Armey. He did kinda look like he could be related.

[alsame]

102. LOL.

[EFerrari]

92. The stream isn't working very well.

I love Howard Dean. What a great speaker he is.

[G_j]

97. Dean has done well nt

[WorseBeforeBetter]

103. Loved his answer to Mr. Blue Shirt (don't recall his name).

Screw those booing...let the man speak.

[G_j]

107. the booing sounds like a pro wrestling sideshow

:shrug:

[Jackeens]

104. Dean is amazing, how the **** does he keep his cool in the face of that mob? n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

105. I just love him.

[EFerrari]

117. He has more patience with real people than anyone I can think of.

:toast:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

123. He speaks directly with intelligence and heart.

:toast:

[Sebastian Doyle]

106. He had excellent training for this

the 2003-04 primary season.

[Sebastian Doyle]

109. Oh shit, he did NOT just say that.

Governments are corrupt?? You can't make the case that way, Jim!

[alsame]

126. Yes, that was a WTF moment for me too. nt

[Parker CA]

108. He's armed simply with loads of knowledge and real facts. He also believes in what he's doing,

and that makes a huge difference when trying to make a point to a crowd of screaming and hollering buffoons.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

110. Ha, Mr. Tough Guy in the front row.

They're out in full force.

[thecrow]

111. FINALLY! Moran brings up the military!

Thank you God

[WorseBeforeBetter]

114. Blackwater ripped off the government!

Or did he say Halliburton? I really have a headache...

[swishyfeet]

118. I think he said both

[WorseBeforeBetter]

124. Thanks...I think you're right. (n/t)

[NYC_SKP]

112. Big Fat Asshole Picking a Fight--- Wears an Obama as Joker hate shirt....

How fucking ridiculous do you look, dude???

[alsame]

113. I wish Dean or Moran would ask for a show of hands of people

who send their kids to public schools. I'd bet most of these gov't haters do.

[NYC_SKP]

115. Last question from an "opposed". An employee from Inova Health Systems...

How many were shipped in under employer pressure?

:shrug:

[Sebastian Doyle]

116. And she's worried about a fucking smart card with your medical records on it?

What the Hell's the problem with that? (as long as it's not on credit cards anyway)

[thecrow]

122. Hey C-span... you're still on live mic!

Hope nobody says anything stoopid... but then maybe they need it so no crazy gets to do something completely irrational. With this crowd, who knows?

[swishyfeet]

119. Time to shut off the mics...

[G_j]

121. it's interesting

Moran is still talking to people and answering questions

[eleny]

120. Mic open at the end. Dean was saying, "That wasn't as bad as it could have been!"

:rofl:

[Jackeens]

125. I cracked up at that too!

[WorseBeforeBetter]

127. Ha ha...

I expected something like "that was fucking wild."

[malaise]

131. LOL indeed

That was priceless.

Still I loved the woman's comment about their side being Delay dancing with the stars :rofl:

[alsame]

128. Thanks for the thread, malaise. I just love watching things live

with DU. :fistbump:

[WorseBeforeBetter]

129. I'll second that.

(I had to run and use the loo and let the poor cat in from the screened porch...he was mad!)

[malaise]

130. It was fun watching with all of you

The best question came from the Dem towards the end. :fistbump:

[4_TN_TITANS]

132. Jumped the gun - saw moran and townhall...

Expected more signage idiocy. Oh well, it will come!
