I think the point has been made, the right wing doesn't agree with the Obama plan. Okay, then what is to be gained by acts of thuggery and screaming and shouting? You consider that productive civil discourse? "I am done you are a waste of my time." ...and what do you think you gained by such a childish comment? Ohhh, why not try "I am going to put you on ignore!!!" That is always such a powerful action, just like slamming the door on your way out... LOL!!!
Shouting people down is protected speech like it or not. Get over it. If you don't like what I said about you and Sarah Palin, thats your problem. You are obsessed and its not healthy. As far as the middle east is concerned, I don't really care what they think. In the middle east your average peaceful protest will end up with about 25 people being beaten to death. To even try to put forth the notion that protests against Obamacare need to stop because of what people in the middle east might think is far beyond bizarre. The logic of leftwingers is amazing. I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said "Liberalism is a mental illness". I generally do not agree with such a statement, but when you make arguments like this, it certainly may be true in some cases.
So if Obama were giving a press conference, it would be your protected speech to get up and start screaming and yelling? LOL! Your entire reactionary post is par for the course...
I don't know what else to say. Optional777, you are a moron. I know liberals don't believe in the US Constitution, but it is the law regardless. Please read the Bill of Rights. People have freedom of speech in the USA. Its the law. I understand that Obama, and his followers, are extremely thin-skinned and cannot take criticism but that is their problem. It does not make sense for the rest of us to shut up because Obama can't take it. Your argument is weak, and the attempt by Obama to ram this through has failed. Obama better hope he can get this through in the fall. If he can't get it through in the fall, he will officially be a lameduck President, not even 1 year into his term. He has a big advantage in the House and 60 votes in the Senate. For him to be having this much trouble getting his legislation through is a real testament to how ill-equipped he is to be President. His healthcare bill is stalled, as well as his Cap and Tax bill. It really shows how left he is when you have a large portion of the his own party rejecting his leftist agenda. One other point about this whole debate. Obama is out there saying that people will not lose the coverage they currently have, but there is a provision in the House bill that would make a large portion of people to lose their current coverage. Obama was asked about this by a private citizen and Obama said he did not know that provision was in the bill. It is absolutely embarrassing that private citizens know more about this bill than Obama. Its unacceptable.
first off, it wasn't a "press conference" it was a town hall meeting... you know, in theory, they are designed to allow the servants of they constituents, to hear the concerns of those consTituents. And yes, there are many concerned constituents regarding a federal take-over of 16% of the economy. VOTE REPUBLICAN IN 2010
Protected speech, absolutely! Now you may be guilty of other offenses such as disorderly conduct. Just like Gates, he had the right to yell at the cops and the cop had the right to haul him to jail. The charges were dropped because there was no case. Obama, being the least transparent leader ever ,would never allow normal people into his town hall. He only allows Acorn types who suck off the tit of big Government. So much for free discourse.
To be anymore irrational the mutants would have to have been carrying torches and scythes. Since when is chanting adding to a civilized discourse.
"I don't know what else to say. Optional777, you are a moron." Great way to start your comments! You must be one helluva negotiator...
