5. Way to go Rep. Moran

Some protester did something off camera and Mr. Moran said something to the effect that what the person said says more about the person than the issue. The woman got up, gave him the finger (a true lady) and walked out. It is outrageous how often these people are allowed to get away with their crap. I'm glad he stopped her in her tracks. As he said at the beginning of the show, dissent and freedom of speech are important and so is allowing each other to listen.

7. What a circus. I like seeing people getting involved and exercising

their right to speech, even the caped gun dorks, but jesus it's sad that discourse has been reduced to shouting at each other. sigh

[Minimus]

8. The "death panel" sign just shows he hasn't been paying attention.

:eyes:

They are sure good at only hearing what they want to hear.

I want to know what, if anything, is wrong with the guy on crutches. The term "cripple" is in such poor taste. He probably doesn't know what it is like to truly be a person with a severe disability. To be so "crippled" as to not even be able to stand on crutches or leave your house without assistance.

Idiots!

9. His mind is crippled

with right wing propaganda. He's just one more disgusting scumbag.

[Brother Buzz]

13. Dimes to donuts says that 'cripple' is a young republican and...

he seriously believes that sign is hysterically funny, and his whole gang of nitwits agreed.

[me b zola]

11. So their white sheets now come in print

:eyes:

[anigbrowl]

12. Maybe we should just ban signs and shouting people

The Dean guy isn't exactly selling his case to the people in front of him any more than that the GOP pawns :-/

Mindless chant! Mindless chant!
