I am deeply, deeply ashamed of my fellow Americans as I watch this.
A town hall meeting on health care reform? Not so much.
Angry White People, all, screaming and yelling about everything BUT health care reform.
10:18: {{Phew}} An older gent just spent his mic time complaining about everything but health care reform. Tort reform?! Are you serious? What's some working-class middle-aged PA guy doing even using that term? And complaining about the auto industry "takeover"; and complaining about the closure of Guantanamo, b/c, as he puts it, they'll all escape and go kill innocent people?
An aside -- I'm headed to the gym; Specter is doing another town hall at Bucknell University later today, so we thought we'd better hit campus way before that.
Please keep this going!
* A woman, red faced, screaming a demand to the effect,
What are you going to do to restore thins country to the Constitution?!?!
* A screaming, finger-pointing woman who's convinced reform will fund abortions, no matter what she's told.
* An Angry White Male so pissed off about something -- and he seriously does not appear to know what -- that he has to be taken from the room.
* The repeated, stupid insistance that people won't be allowed to keep their own health insurance or make their own choices.
I am so tired of dealing with people who will swallow the insane lies of the the anti-reform right. "Death panels"?!? Seriously?! Are these people this fucking stupid?
I'll update on teh stoopid as it (irony?) evolves.
10:10 am: Why are these people repeating, ad stupidium, the lies that have been repeatedly refuted?
10:13: How many vague, vacuous charges that reform is "un-American" can these people float?
