A thought on Town Hall Meetings
Edited on Sat Aug-15-09 08:25 AM by ThomWV
Just a thought.

How many tea-baggers (who I see as the same idiots who disrupt Town Hall Meetings) do you think there were at most of their gatherings. I'd bet that at most of their protests you could have rounded up every one of them and stuffed them into a shipping container with ease. We have been fortunate in that even though we have idiots at least we don't have too many of them. They have always managed to gain press that exaggerates their numbers.

So how can this be used to our advantage?

Easy, stop using small venues for Town Hall Meetings. Hold them outside, at high school football fields for instance. It is very difficult for a few people to shout down a speaker outdoors (where the PA system takes charge) and it is also possible for honest concerned citizens to move away from them - leaving the idiots in isolated pockets where its easy to see just how few of them there really are in comparison to the sane concerned citizens.
