"Town-hall style meeting" is sort of like "cheese food product" >>>

[Stephanie]

Fake town hall, fake president, fake cheese.

1. you forgot fake elections & the illusion of choice in this country

[RobertSeattle]

2. Bubble Boy Bush

Carefully insulated against real people.

[InternalDialogue]

3. And they both make you sick. n/t

[InternalDialogue]

4. To all cheese-food-product lovers:

No offense.

:puke:

5. Just imagine

The last time *ush ever spoke to a non-Republican was during the debates. How's that for getting all points of view?

8. Well, remember his quote about not reading the paper

"I just glance through the headlines. I get the news from my staff where I know it will be objective". (that quote may be a slight paraphrase.)

[Skidmore]

6. And lots of unidentified

filler.

7. propaganda doesn't work so good if real people get to ask questions

Much, much easier to sell something in a carefully-controlled setting. Kind of like the fake food they construct out of plaster for the TV commercials.

9. Just Another Agree-Fest Typical of All CONservative Meetings.

The dumba$$es in the audience are all pre-screened. Occasionally a non-Bush fan slips through but that is no proof that The A$$hole in Chief and his minions welcome everyone.

13. You do recall that when the *blithering blivet

was not guaranteed a *controlled citizen townhall meeting in Mainz, the event was CANCELLED, oder? ;-)

10. That's Not a Wave!

That's a Nazi salute! "Seig Heil! Heil! Heil Bush!", and the carefully selected crowd goes wild!

11. its a fucking infomercial on my tax dollars

george walker bush is a fucking cowardly pussy to do what he is doing. there is no honor in basking in the wamrth thrown out by idiots and sycophants.

12. Come to New England to witness a real town hall meeting.

Witness what >38 Vermont towns recently did. This is pure democracy in action.

To use the term "town hall meeting" for this dog and pony / medicine show is an insult to John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Paine.
