How would you calm down the town halll protesters

[Chernobyl-Pripyat]

OMON.

Violently? You are high aren't you? The most violence has come from the left.

I have citations, do you.

There hasnt been anything in the way of Violence at all, for the most part, more like Shouting and Idiocy, from both sides...

Nothing new, just high profile this time around...

[Dyakovo]

Yes, those smurfs need to be taught a lesson!

what sort of lesson?

That paintballs hurt?

[Kynchile]

I have seen some good arguements using facts andreasoning from the conservative side, but a large amount of insults and emotions from the liberal side. This is the norm so I am not complaining. I know you guys can do better then that.

Those town hall meetings sure were civil on the Republican side.

I think our founders would be proud.

[Zoingo]

Oh of course not, just startingfights; hanging congressmen in effigy; starting shouting matches;acting threateningly; painting swastikas on congressmen's signs

Totally rational and well-behaved.

Odd don't you think, that all of these events were in response, to what these congress people said? A fine example is Senator Mccaskill, who claimed she had to use "Her Mother's Voice when talking to [people], and [being highly disappointed]"...wow, that is acting very mature in front of a crowd of angry protesters.

[Buxtahatche]

Perhaps you are new in NS political debates. The_pantless_hero doesn't listen at all. He'll probably miss your response.

Thanks.
Nice to know.

I'm just getting a good bit of jollies out of the fact that the very people complaining about the Republican opposition acting in this manner are the very people who advocated and even praised such outbursts against another man just 9 months ago.

Except I'm one of the people complaining about the neo-cons acting this way and I had a problem when the Dems did it too...

[Sibirsky]

Obviously you arn't paying attention. It's not that they are protesting, it's that they are VIOLENTLY INTERRUPTING ORGANIZED MEETINGS.

I don't see them waving guns around, throwing the Healthcare plan (You know, 1000 pages of junk could be considered a weapon) at them, or deliberately trying to harm the Congressperson who is (supposedly) representing them.

Because you are rational and well behaved?

You wanna give the protestors lots and lots of machine guns??? And a tank?

Hell, I'd protest for that!

Me too...
Hell I'd even settle for a tankette...

I would love to show up to work in that thing tomorrow.

I wouldn't...

Mostly because I don't have to work tomorrow, so I don't want to show up at all...

[UnhealthyTruthseeker]

No don't you see, by criticizing the Republicans, you must support the Democrats completely. This is because there are only two possible choices, absolute support for the Republicans, or absolute support for the Democrats. There are no other possible choices.

Right...
That's why I am in favor of Health care reform and a member of the NRA...

A tad unfair. That one's not even from the US.

[Sibirsky]

I'm sorry, calmly asking an off-topic question or sitting quietly wearing shirts saying "no war for oil" is not load, abrasive, and confrontational protesting. Goldfish could outwit you partisan hacks.

Even if we take at face value the idea that the left was totally rude during the Bush administration, how does that make the right also doing it okay? It's just the old, childish "He started it!" defense.

Except for the fact that the administartion is continuously restricting their rights.

This totally isn't a rightwing circle jerk.

There has been violence. Some dude got beat up by SEIU members. SEIU? A leftist union? No, I must be lying.

Which rights are those? It seems, by virtue of being able to loudly disrupt these proceedings and having the media report ad nauseum on it, their rights are relatively secured. Certainly more so than how most protestors are treated when they interrupt the event they protest.

Amusingly, this topic is filled with familiar faces. It seems a lot of people here who are congratulating these protestors for disrupting town hall meetings were the same people crying for Dr. Gates' arrest a few weeks ago for having the audacity to yell at a cop in public.

I have citations, do you.

For being high? Yes, but they are 12 years old. Been clean for about 8.

[Kynchile]

My sentiments are the same.

My reform would be to evict all illegal immigrants that are using our healthcare system.

Extensive reform of malpractice lawsuits.

Aggressively going after fraudulent claims and prosecuting them.

These three things alone would save billions upon billions.

The first one is from a different FUCKING COUNTRY, and I don't know where the second is from.

This is what I saw on a sign this morning:

So you admit you have no evidence of your position.

Good. You admit that both sides are wrong. Or at least their tactics are wrong.

I lol'd. Why? Because you have no idea what you are talking about and are just parroting right-wing punditry who are paid by lobbyists to say that.

Yes, both sides have whackjobs that use idiotic methods.

Well I do have work tomorrow. Of course, if I didn't, then yes, doesn't matter what I'd be showing up in, I would hate it.
