The members dared question AARP's support for the Democratic party and their proposed national healthcare. The AARP officials stopped the meeting, unplugged the microphone, and walked out of the meeting.

Isn't that strange when you consider AARP is owned by HARTFORD INSURANCE.

I guess they have shown, without a doubt, that rightwing shills who's only purpose is to be disruptive and prevent discussion were successful.

Seniors need to cancel their memberships NOW and make their voices heard.

Nope, sorry. The AARP did the right thing. Those people tried to disrupt the meeting. They weren't the least bit interested in debating the issues. If they're going to prevent an open exchange of ideas, the meeting should be shut down.

Very interesting point of view, especially when you consider anti-war activist attend speaking engagements of conservative speakers and chant anti-war slogans loudly over and over again until the speaker walks off. Or how about Columbia University students and faculty who storm the stage attacking the Minutemen speakers forcing them to leave. Or the universities in which military recruiters booth is attacked to the point that the campus police ask the recruiter to leave before the protestors turn violent. The people in the video disagreed with statements made and questioned officials who refuse to answer the questions or address their concerns.

A bunch of old people ? This is AARP we're talking about, not some frat house of roudy teenagers.
