Absolutely incredible.


YouTube - id check

You can bet any of those union thugs holding up their manufactured signs wouldn't be asked to show ID.

A few things come to mind:

1. Congressman Moron (oops, Moran) thinking: "I thought we had the whole crowd covered with shills and plants. How did this guy get in?"

2. To all libs / Democrat shills including this Congressman and Senators. Keep up the good work by being arrogant, condescending, and calling genuinely concerned people who does not agree with you "stupid" and "crazy". MSNBC really comes to mind here. It really helps convincing others that your opinion is correct. Please do it as often as possible, especially to independents and moderates. Your attitude will really come in handy in future elections. Please keep it up. We need more republicans in 2010...

3. While this Congressman checks IDs of legal residents, his fellow Congressmen voted down an amendment which would force a check for citizenship before getting health care. Irony?

One more thing. You watch numerous condescending aholes like this Congressman. You see where the direction of this country is heading and now you know what's going to happen if you just hide in your home and pretend everything is OK. If you do not vote these arrogant pr*cks out of office in 2010, you will get the government you deserve, and you now know what you will get.


This video comes to mind from this crazy dude...

If I lived in Moran's district, I'd thank him. The town hall meeting in his district was meant for that district's constituents. People who were there who didn't reside in the district were taking seats from people who did. Moran doesn't represent me or you, he represents the people in his district. And this was an opportunity for the people he does represent to express their concerns and viewpoints.

Lets hope all the union people in attendance with their flashy new signs were also local residents -- I think not! Seems to me some of them may have been shipped in.

Were you in attendance?

I read an account from a liberal who was in attendance, but so far haven't found a conservative account. It was my understanding that people lined up hours ahead of time to get in, and that the people at the entrances tried to screen the people entering to just the people from the district, but that some non-district people did get in. Was that your experience?

This is the account I read.

VERY unbiased report. MoveOn.org told them what time to get there. How's that for astroturf.
