So now the left is organizing protestors to come disrupt town hall meetings? I guess the right will now have to start organizing counter protests to the lefts counter protests of the protests.

It really is.
I'm proud of Americans noticing, reacting and taking action as he tries to hoodwink us with his disastrous ideas.

He's a radical and being revealed as such.

Cuba has a three tier health plan. Bureaucrats, the wealthy, the poor. Will our health plan do the same? Congress and administration first class, unions second class, everyone else can wait? Just a question because I'm concerned there will be different care for different people. I'm also worried about the waiting period to get treated; living in the Southwest has really discouraged me when visiting an emergency room and having to wait, and wait, and wait on people who are getting treatment free.

Ohhhhh, I see. This kind of contrived organizing and manufactured protesting by the Left and their party goons is perfectly fine, but real people, angry at the government are considered "mobs" of RW radicals?

Do you guys even understand how hypocritical you are?

Unions To Take On Conservative Groups Health Care Town Halls
I'll be surprised if union members go along with this. All those union members who fought so hard over the years for good benefits will stand to LOSE one of their most important benefits - low-cost (to them) high quality health care. What's to stop their employers from shuffling them off into cost-cutting lower quality Obama care?

That's right Bush did it all. Oh, and we can charge $70/hr for union labor, have the second highest business tax rates in the world and tax all forms of energy while China pays ten cents per hour and expect manufacturing jobs to stay in the US.

Where I'm at (SE Michigan) the UAW destryed our economy. Name one thing the Democrats have done to right the ship that wasn't caused by Democrats to begin with.

Stung by poll after poll showing them steadily losing ground on the debate over healthcare, Democrats are launching an all-out counterattack aimed at portraying health insurance firms as "villains" and "immoral."
The president rolled out the new strategy of scapegoating insurance companies during his town hall meeting in Raleigh, N.C., Wednesday,
