Protests, passions roiling town hall meeting on health careCastor tried to speak for nearly 15 minutes but the crowd drowned her out, chanting, "You work for us,'' "Tyranny, tyranny,'' and "Read the bill." She ultimately left the meeting early, further angering some attendees.
First off, they are NOT town hall meetings... they are just the government's version of an Amway get together. THAT'S IT.

See this post?They provided it themselves, the town halls were organized by democrats.
You just ask for proof of what was patently obvious.
I see. A Democratic Representative has a town hall meeting, and the fact that it is organized by Democrats is an indication of particanship? Who would you have organize it? The Republican Party? Now that you are done playing with it, put your brain back in your head and use it.
Quiz for Bones:When does right and wrong enter the equasion?
NEVER
Now you see why I oppose BOTH parties.
yea you fucking sound like you oppose both parties.....i havent seen you post a thread yet...going on about republicans etc...and you are the one who gave me a lecture about being objective and not generalizing....blah blah blah blah.....hyprocrite thy name is internet poster.
What party controls ALL THREE arms of government, and can pass anything it wants to, and the other party cannot prevent it...
There is no point in threads about the powerless.
That should be obvious, before you try and call anyone a hypocrite.

If dissenters were prevented from attending, how exactly was the above possible?

Getting worse for Democrats, they are trying to bully protests, not good, and stack townhalls with 'supporters.'

The tighter the dems hold on, the more their grip will slip, protests are the purest form of America, stop trying to shut them down.
The dems control 2 parts of our 3 branch gvt.
They control the executive branch and congress...the legislative branch, but not the Judicial branch....the Supreme court is still in conservative control.

Technically, you are correct, when I said all three I should have said both houses of congress and the white house.
No party controls the courts, which btw have no authority over the other branches according to teh constitution, but that is an argument for another day.
Deranged Nancy Pelosi claiming protestors are 'astroturf' (Dem speak for fake protestors) and that they carry 'swastikas...'
Does this sound like a responsible government offical?

How can this stupid bitch get away with saying stuff like that? I just can't believe the "leader" of the house can say such shit, to the press no less!!
It's a sad state of affairs when garbage like this, by people in these positions, goes unchecked. I don't give a fuck what party you belong to, it's just wrong!
If there were people there with swastikas it would be all over the msm, and on 80% of the papers front page in the land!
I'll guarantee there's a couple in the crowd now though.
I saw a picture of one meeting, a protestor had a swazskia sign, with a red circle and line thorugh, saying NO nazi tactics, not that they are pro nazis.Deranged Nancy Pelosi claiming protestors are 'astroturf' (Dem speak for fake protestors) and that they carry 'swastikas...'

What you should be angry at is disingenious attempts to shut down opposition by demonizing, belittling and other unfair practices.
That is what the dems are doing right now.
Every linked item showed examples of this behavior, the party in power attempting to ignore, belittle and demonize opposition.
Jill, read the post I linked to, about who i am.What you should be angry at is disingenious attempts to shut down opposition by demonizing, belittling and other unfair practices.
What I find disgusting... is the effort to disrupt and destroy the ability to accomplish anything.
And if calling it what it is is "demonizing and belittling"... too bad. Maybe they should comport themselves in a more civilized manner.
That is what the dems are doing right now.
I know... everyone would like it if no one responded to the loons.

You read the posts on this board? Dems aren't NEARLY good enough at demonizing the opposition. They have huge amounts to learn from the right in that regard.
You as outraged when the call Obama a socialist to Demonize the opposition?
Blanche Lincoln to health-care protesters: Hey, sorry for calling you un-American

Translation: Sorry for actually saying out loud what my partys been implying all week.
Its so sad, because its diminishing to the process, its diminishing to our outcome, Lincoln said in a conference call with reporters. I think its sad that they choose to do that. I think its un-American and disrespectful.Cited in this same piece as smoking-gun evidence of a top-down Republican astroturf campaign: The memo debunked by Mary Katharine Ham 27 hours ago. Sigh. Exit question: Is Lincolns retreat a sign that the backlash to the lefts demagoguery is now in full swing? Foolproof though it may seem, calling your constituents Nazis actually isnt a surefire path to reelection. Claire McCaskill politely disagreed with the Democratic brain trust about astroturfing earlier on Twitter and Ben Cardin took a politic line on the subject when pressed this afternoon by Fox News. Id be surprised if Reid and Pelosi are still tossing grenades tomorrow.
A few hours later, Lincoln issued the following statement: Although I do believe that some of these protesters are disrespectful of other citizens in the audience who truly want to ask questions about health care, I shouldnt have used the term un-American. I support the right of every Arkansan to speak out and have their voices heard. I would just ask that we all continue to work in a constructive way to rebuild our economy and fine-tune out health care system so it works for all of us.
Also in the audience Wednesday was Bob Porto, an organizer with the Pulaski County Tea Party. Porto said local Tea Party leaders discouraged members from attending because they believed Arkansas Childrens Hospital was not the proper venue
I think we are seeing people who feel that their expression, or their ability to communicate, isnt being heard, so theyre doing what they can to be heard, he said.
Yet Democrat representatives are beginning to walk it back:
