He was then kicked and punched by all four. One fled on foot, and three were arrested. Kenneth was taken to St. John's Mercy Hospital to the emergency room.

He has suffered numerous injuries." .


Update: Violence erupts after Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-MO) town hall on health care, six arrests made (http://www.examiner.com/x-5738-St-Louis-Political-Buzz-Examiner%7Ey2009m8d7-Update--Violence-erupts-after-Rep-Russ-Carnahan-DMO-town-hall-on-health-care-six-arrests-made - broken link)

This is one of a number of current posts you have titled "Obama" this or that, when obviously Obama has nothing to do with the video you are posting.


Your sreen name says logicwings but you are increasingly becoming more illogical with each post you misrepresent as having some relation to Obama!

Just be honest and state that no matter the means you will seek to discredit him no matter what he does and even if it means you have to lie. misrepresent, or ignore the truth!

In your next "obama did it" article could you actually post something with Obama in it.

The "message from the president" encourages people to turn out everywhere and counter the lies that are being spread -- which lies are what are making the town hall teabaggers hysterical in the first place.
So..you're another of those that assumes obama/dems/libs own the truth?

You all are pretending Obama is somehow encouraging violence - provide proof please.

"typical Obama dumbass" -- SEIU does not equal Obama, and all SEIU people are not dumbasses. Is the "He's a A-rab" woman from the McCain rally a typical Republican?
Organizing for America (ACORN), the SEIU and other union affiliates are just an extension of the democrat party. The are funding tens of millions to get HC rammed through, yet you have a problem with plain, ordinary, real folks voicing their opinions?

What does this have to do with Obama?
The WH put out the call to it's supporters to attend these TH and "push back".

This might help: White House to Democrats: 'Punch back twice as hard' - Carrie Budoff Brown - POLITICO.com
Except union thugs DID punch back...and were arrested.

Quite funny that it is Dem union thugs who have so far resorted to violence despite all the bleating from the leftists here....

Typical leftist behavior,when it comes down to it,attack your opposition.

Organizing for America is not ACORN

But looking this up at Google I see that that lie is being fed to the rightie sheep now, too. You're too smart to get suckered by that one sanrene.

Plenty of organized conservatives, sorry.

Obviously I dont have a problem with plain, ordinary real folks voicing their opinions. These people are voicing talking points that they've been fed. If they sat down and read the proposed bill they wouldnt be screaming and yelling and waving their birth certificates, they'd have come to the town hall with a list of intelligent questions and statements.

DUH! Someone else who hasn't a clue.


These "dissenters" did NOT want to discuss anything! They scream talking points, disrupt others who want to discuss it in an adult rational way effectively taking away their RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH...and these sleazy cowards RUN!!!

your ear-splitting overusage of exclaimation points and incessant shriekazoid ways have put fractures in my monitor more than once.

here's an answer to your high-pitched wails:

my neighbor. and these folks.

but it's not at all surprising that you'dModerator cut: not necessary for an answer, then clap your hands over your ears when someone gives one...

So sorry if that was loud.....how loud are those other voices you hear?????

So...."the American people" have actually read the senate health care plan (dont know how, it's not out yet), they try to challenge these senators in public debate...is that how it's been going, Wapasha?

Is this like a special TV you have?
