1. I love this shit. Basically all these idiots acting up wouldn't be seen by

large populations in the US. Thanks to their over the top bullshit...Now everyone can see.

Now people all over the country and world wide can see how crazy these fuckers are.

I'm so excited.

GOP 1854 - 2009 , may the fuckers rest in hell.

[jefferson_dem]

3. Cardin is not the most dynamic speaker but he knows his shit..

He'll kick some teabagger ass if that's what's required.

[kirby]

2. Thanks n/t

[Cha]

4. Kick for Town Hall Meets

all over the country!

[kirby]

5. Just FYI, major redneck district n/t

[Parker CA]

8. Incredible display of ignorance. I feel like I'm watching the movie Idiocracy acted out on CNN.

It's really scary to think that this many people are so blind to the truth and hateful of factual information.

Cardin is handling himself well so far.

[Parker CA]

6. I gotta give it to these senators and members of congress who stand up and deal with these loons!

They are faced with the biggest bunch of f-ing idiots imaginable, yet they stand up and try to correct the misinformation. These wackos in this audience are just unhinged. Really unreal to witness.

[RepublicanElephant]

7. cardin needs more security for this extra rowdy bunch! nt

[Parker CA]

9. No doubt. I can't understand how these people don't have more cops, or other protection.

These people in line waiting to ask questions are ready to snap.

[RepublicanElephant]

10. "small businessman" just quoted the lewin group (owned by united healthcare).

wish cardin had pointed that out.

[kirby]

11. Compulsory abortions! That's a new one! n/t

[Parker CA]

13. And this guy is convinced he's on the Gvmnt hit list for those who will not receive care. He is a

Christian though and isn't afraid of death. These people are truly ignorant beyond belief and so filled with right-wing hate radio "facts" that they don't know what color the sky is anymore.

[RepublicanElephant]

12. i just love these christians who continue to embarrass christianity.

still bringing-up the death panel nonsense.

[Parker CA]

14. Wrapped in his American flag shirt, convinced that he's patient #1 to stand before the death panel.

[greyl]

15. Thanks, and holy fuck it's distressing to see so much ignorance.

This ignoramus with the eagle and flag on his t-shirt -- good grief.

[Parker CA]

16. The guy up now is an idiot too, yet he has the majority of the room up in applause for his comments.

They just don't understand anything but, the evil gubmint is bad, bad, bad, and we don't need them in our lives, but DON'T touch our medicare or social security!

[Parker CA]

17. "What're you going to do about healthcare, cap and trade, and creating the illegals to get out of

this country." Direct quote from a super-loony woman. Wow. Just. Wow.

[jefferson_dem]

18. Wow. A friendly.

Asked Senator why he doesn't say more about insurance front groups and "death panel" lies. Cardin is diplomatic in his answer.

[zulchzulu]

19. These hecklers are simply racist Palinist sore losers

They will be irrelevant in any elections. They are simply outnumbered by sensible, mature people with manners who also have the ability to think for themselves and not get their propaganda from college dropouts like Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and the rest of the buffoons.

They are, in the end, irrelevant. And scum.

[Parker CA]

20. This is their demographic flaming out in a blaze of stupidity. They're toast after this debate is

over and healthcare is passed.

[quantass]

21. If Public Option is getting this much resistance Single-Payer had no Chance.

I find that Obama, Weiner (sp?) and a few others are very good at making it clear about Healthcare reform because it seems the people who are listening and asking these questions to these senator/reps are not getting it through their heads....They boo and hiss unnecessarily even if the answer benefits them.

These townhall meetings prbably should be re-worked by several of these senators/reps to do a better job at introductions since even i can answer most of these questions that keep getting asked when it is open for Q&A.

[Critters2]

22. It's not that much resistance. The screamers are in the minority

among voters, and they know it. That's why they have to scream.

[Parker CA]

28. Flys on sh@t : Media on crazy. A small pile of crap can make a big stench but only for a brief time.

[SpartanDem]

25. So true

The single payer or nothing crowd thinks if Obama goes around selling selling single payer the American people are going to have this great progressive awakening and get behind it. Hell, look how this more modest plan has sent people off the deep end, too many in the country have been brainwashed with free market=good socialism=evil BS and the idea these people are suddenly going see the light once SP is explained to them is incredibly naive.

[Crunchy Frog]

23. You lost the last election fuckers. Get over it!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

24. That's MY great Senator!!!

I'm so proud of him. I know that he'll hold it down for us!! :applause:

[jefferson_dem]

27. You should be proud. Let's all contact the Senator with thanks and encouragement.

He did a great job under very challenging circumstances.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

33. I sure will. n/t

[Crunchy Frog]

26. Look at that fat bitch having a screaming tantrum.

(I apologize for the language, but that's exactly what I think of these people.)

[Parker CA]

29. That episode will be cut and edited into some snippet of the super crazy later today.

Absolute and complete FAIL.

[kirby]

32. This was local news before it started...

[Bozita]

31. didn't take long for a camera to get to her, did it?

[BlueIdaho]

30. The changing of the American mind?

These ignorant, spittle faced, raging racists may just be doing a world of good for us. Their ugliness may just make the majority of Americas support health care reform.

[hootinholler]

34. I wish I had konwn, I would have gone n/t

[madmom]

35. Ha know the area very well. A lot of my parent's family live in the area. I don't

like to claim them. They are the get the government out of my life but leave my welfare/medicare alone type people. They are proud of their ignorance.

[Engineer4Obama]

36. This is my home district or was until a couple months ago

a lot of my friends went to HCC were the event was held and while I understand that the district is conservative, it is not as bad as it looks. Like most rural areas there are rednecks but there are also well educated professionals. If it wasn't for work I would have been at this event in a heartbeat but I got the email about it far too late to request off work.
