IF you ARE a Veteran with 16 years service you damn well know that the bolded quote is a LIE...

and if you spent 16 years in the Navy, why don't you know the difference between "your" and you're?
Why is that a lie, you do understand I am not IN the Navy anymore and dont have the care I used to, so now you just look incredibly ignorant, trying to tell me what I would have to do when you and I have never met.
and Good for YOU, you found YOUR instead of you're

The only thing dumb about the post pal is your reactionary tantrum. There is one more thing dumb though. If you don't have enough brains to go to the VA and get your personal health care maybe you won't have enough sense to get to the Obama clinic for a tongue depressor.

Things are upside down in this country when protest is viewed as killing democracy. It's interesting that folks can't believe that people are motivated to go to town hall meetings because the have a genuine interest in the future of healthcare. It must be manufactured how else to explain that people disagree with me will express thier opinion. The people who claim this are delusional.

I don't think you were ever in the Navy, because if you had been you would know about the VA Hospital system.. Maybe not the best care but if you had 16 years active duty it would be free to you...

The only way you would not be able to use the VA is if you had a less than honorable discharge from the Navy.

How is that genuine interest in the future of health care served by shouting down speakers and not allowing others to ask questions?

Is it a coincidence that those very same techniques are spelled out by a leader of an anti-Obama organization and available on line?

Again, people who scream in a town hall meeting, never allowing anyone to answer nor allowing anyone else to speak are killing democracy by trying to kill free speech.

They COULD go and ask questions and take their turn at the mic but they chose to scream hysterically(doesn't THAT make for open dialog) and NOT LET OTHERS SPEAK!

They are NOT interested in the future of health care or they would discuss it rationally .


They are NOT interested in anyone's Free Speech but THEIR OWN!


They could just hold their own rallies and stand there screaming but they choose to disrupt others who want to discuss it like intelligent adults.

So you have to protest only in a whisper? They were pretty loud at a couple of liberal protest that I have been to....I guess they had not learned their lessons also in Protest 101.

Its protest, democracy is messy. It cuts across all political spectrums, code pink for example on the left. All types of disent, aside from violence strengthens democracy.

So what the techniques are outlined by an Obama opponent? How does it make it less legitimate? People are motivated to get off their couches, make their voices heard and participate in the process. On balance it is a good thing.

Who said that???? Point out who said that??

WHERE did anyone say THAT????



Townhall meetings are for discussion...ya know, talking....NOT screaming down others and taking away their right to free speech! Disrupting the meetings accomplishes NOTHING except taking away other's rights to free speech.
