Lest anyone believe that Democrats have gotten all of the heat from angry constituents over health-care reform, Tennessees WATE reports on a lively meeting hosted by Senator Bob Corker (R) for his Bradley County constituents. Despite already having established his opposition to ObamaCare, voters overflowed out of a Lee University meeting room to push the point home with Corker. Mostly, they expressed anger from being mischaracterized as un-American and racist for opposing a government takeover of health care:
...
Very.
Very.
yah...sure...
i think the better question is how stupid are the pathetic rabble rousers for allowiong themselves to be misinformed and have their strings pulled by the insrance lobby...
typical rightwingnuts going against their own self interest to serve their corporate masters.

"How out of" -- wait. I'm sorry, did you say "how out...."
Oh man, I'm having a hard time hearing. Did you say "How out of touch are Democrats at...
Oh man, I missed it again. A little louder please. "How out of touch are Democrats at Town Hall meetings?" Ok, got it.
I'm sorry, there was some jerks standing next to me with "Obama is Hitler" signs and I couldn't hear over their screaming. Funny, the news-guy ask one if they had "health insurance" and the guy said no but that he had "Medicare". So the news guy ask why was he here then and the guy said to stop government run insurance. I'm guessing he didn't know that Medicare IS government run insurance.
Wow... You would think that a government that wanted to control the health care for all the citizens in the country could at least control a 250 member town hall meeting. That's that good Democrat leadership coming out in them. Yeah. Run right down there and tell them how much you want their help to manage your medical affairs.

What should they have done? Shoot them? We can't all act like Republicans. Imagine how awful that would be if we all acted like Republicans. No scientists. Forced prayer in public schools. No higher education.
You know what that would mean? No big screen TV's. No military complex (except on horses). No microwave ovens.
If you moved all Republicans to, say the deep south, and renamed that a different country, say, "Confederacy", how long before they ran out of beer?

were you born stupid or were you dropped on your head at some point in your life?
I saw the video and read the article.
Pure unadulterated Republican ignorance and rhetoric at its finest.
Firstly, the crowd was largely Republican at the TH meeting, which would explain the ignorance.
Secondly, these people are now harping on about how they "don't want the government to tell them when to end their/their family's lives" when, in fact, under the Republican Regime of Herr Bush they, the guvmint, decided to override a family's decision of end-of-life-care with the Shiavo fiasco.
The hypocicy is staggering.
These people are like The Hulk. They get mad and enraged from watching FAUXNews and start on a rampage. "Republican smash!" They can't hear anything, see anything or think about anything except "No! Must smash Obama/care!" Then they want to get offended when they cool off for 2 seconds they want to get offended they the media has referred to them as less than civilized.
Can you believe these ignorant fucks?
i see you are following Obama's leadVery.

no, the thugs were wearing SEIU purpleNo Asshole...the Bush Regime and the Republithugs politicized the entire situation turning it into this big national debate when it didn't have to. Before they put their damned hands on the situation it was already decided to end her life because her husband already had the spoken consent of his wife to do so.
