Town hall protester rips apart woman's Rosa Parks poster

Crazy, ignorant of any facts in history.

Just seems to me she was the one trying to stir up racial tensions by bringing the poster to a health insurance town hall in the first place. What does what kind of health care system you want have to do with race?

Stop deluding yourselves and maybe you will understand. The healthcare "debate" is moving along without the true involvement of the American people. There are no agreed upon principles to even begin a dialogue about details. The people know this is going to be a late-night deal rushed to the floor for votes and we are all screwed. We want it to SLOW down and build details upon an agreed foundation.

Race has nothing to do with it. Nothing. You racist leftists always play that card when you don't get your way. Truth is, Obama is the first President elected BECAUSE of racism, NOT in spite of it.

The election of a black president has really brought out all the racism that runs deep in this country. And I keep wondering what the foreign press must think of these bozos who have incoherently shouted their way onto the news. This is becoming quite a shitty country to associate ones self with.

With their hate they might manage to derail healthcare reform. These town hall meetings are dangerous and are damaging to the cause. Maybe we should put out a comic book explaining everything to them, complete with pictures. There is no excuse for the stupidity they are displaying.

I fear something similar to the Oklahoma City Bombing.

There is this racist backlash appearing. Conservatives are upset that not only do they have a president that is a democrat, but partially black. (But of course, the One Drop Rule states that if you have a fraction of yourself that's non-white, you're considered non-white altogether).

I have a feeling that this isn't about Health Care Reform anymore.

I wish they could find their abilities to reason . I think they get a high off the rage , and even if they were well informed , information before them , they would ignore all , and keep the rage . All glory in self righteous indignation , truth be damned ! Where I live they are everywhere . I don't need to watch fox to know what they say because it is reproduced so faithfully second hand at the hardware store , at the park , and from my own relatives . I can tolerate them . When they cross the line into harassment .... and they seem to delight in that , they loose all credibility .

The wilful ignorance of many of the people who are being bussed in for these town hall meetings is just so unutterably sad. They have become so wrapped up in their irrational hatred of government that they have become characitures

I watched a number of them being interviewed outside a meeting earlier this evening and was simply blown away by the bizarre coccoons of untruths, half-truths, distortions and above all utter irrelevancies with which they have surrounded themselves in an apparent effort to be certain that no actual "facts' intrude on their preconception that "the government" has personally marked them and is determined to do everything in its power to make their lives miserable.

I was alternately fascinated by their bizzarre illogic an
d terribly, terribly embarassed for them. Someday they might well become informed and will look back with horror on these peformances...

asherp, I just read an opinion article in which the writer said her belief is that much of this anger especially from the, conservative South, is about having a black President. She also said that's what they really mean when they talk about getting "their country back". Of course they can't actually say that because they then would be called racists.

It is amazing they have been around since the 60's.And their guacamole is fantastic.

Anybody have any questions about racism being the real issue in these town hall meetings still?

People want "their country back" because their country never had a black man as president since it was founded.

Jonny LA don't think that bad you know what to do...go to the corner of Sepulveda and Washington and get yourself a burrito and a taco lots of salsa and fresh chips @ Titos Taco if you are from LA you know what I mean.

I am so sick of the human race, wheres the asteroid at already?

Insurance agencies need to be stripped of their power and money.

Period.

$1,200 a MONTH for health insurance...?

Where does this money go when I'm not going to the doctor and I'm not sick...?

Oh.. (Looks at the insurance agent that buys a new Cadillac every year.)

I'd like a REFUND, please. I've been overpaying for at least 12 years. Where is this money going?

grrr

If you haven't dealt with necks all of your life welcome to ignorant 101. Most of them are proud of their temper and their tantrum throwing abilities. If you think he is ashamed of himself you just don't get it. This hick's buddies will buy him a round every time he walks in the tonk.

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money-power of the country will endeavor to prolong it's reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."

You liberals better reactivate Code Pink

This thing was RIPPED out of her hands, this is not a 1st ammendment right situation.

Well, Kenny, these town hall meetings attract all sorts of nuts, on both sides of the fence. But this the 1st Amendment at work. At least they can speak out, and not be hauled off by the Gestapo!

Because this nut was looking for an excuse to be violent. He represents the mindless anger of the, shout them down, movement.

I guess she feels as though she is still riding at the back of the bus in terms of health care reform. There that wasn't that hard to figure out. It's a lot better than a hitler poster or drawing a mustache on an Obama poster. How could any person be inflamed by a poster of a woman that was as peaceful as MLK. But still some nut thinks so.

So you see the slight of hand right? Yeah, it's pretty much like that for like, everything...

Why was she carrying a poster of Rosa Parks to a town hall about health care reform?

We aren't stupid. We can't let the insurance industry profit from this activity. This behavior is criminal.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere! Dr. King.

that guy should have been paying attn to the speaker instead of minding other folks business...

They probably weren't afraid of her. If we don't make some demands, this shit is going to get worse. It is being financed and organized by the insurance industry. Do we really want to buy insurance from them?

One police officer went with the white guy that stole and ripped the poster, and 5 went with the black lady that it belonged to. I guess he was the victim.

My heart breaks at the intolerance. This is injustice.

why the hell did they pounce on her? She was attacked by that guy. This is bullshit!
