This WAPO editorial writer heard the same thing from the audience that so many of the rest of us heard and he has provided many of the interesting headlines he found about the moment plus the clip, itself, for people to hear that only 2 or 3 of those present, out of the 1100 in attendance "cheered" the death moment.

Those few individuals that cheered death, were probably hardcore Rick Perry supporters or leftists. It is not some new trick of infiltrating political functions and rallies and making yourself look as foolish as possible to discredit an opponent. It might shatter his worldview that all tea partiers are racists based on a few individuals that turned out to be Democrat operatives

I heard that Kremer woman who heads up some of the Tea Party work say today that she was in that 1100 member crowd and she was sure that those who cheered that part were plants. Now she would say that but then it would be fun to have somebody prove she is wrong.

I like Paul, I really do but his time for President is over. Maybe his son in the future. Paul get out gracefully.

That aside I love watching gaffs at political debates.

Many on this forum consider me a "leftist." However, I have posted, more than once, that I support choice when it comes to the proposed mandatory insurance aspect of 'Obamacare'. An adult should be allowed to formally opt out without being penalized, with the proviso that the consequence of opting out is no health care for which the individual cannot pay. So, in this hypothetical situation - assuming it takes place in a future when affordable health insurance is available for everyone - I believe that the young man who could have paid for health insurance, but chose not to, must live - or die - with the consequences of his decision.

Of course. That's what I said in the other thread. Anybody with working ears could hear the obvious, that it was only one or two people who laughed "Yeah!" But once again, liberals choose to believe what they want to believe, not what the facts are.

Indeed. Infiltrating audiences is a well known and often used tactic but when I brought it up I was shot down by the libbies who live in their own alternate reality.

Riiiight. Your proof of any of this is what exactly?

I think you need to relax the grip the tin foil hat has on your head, it's cutting off circulation.

Since when is standing up for freedom and liberty a gaffe? Since when is calling on society to respect property rights and cure our ills through education a gaffe? How well is government force and coercion working? We are lost as a nation if that is the belief.
