Big difference between an Organized Mob whose main purpose is to cause disruption and ruin the Town Hall event, and someone who has legitimate questions and wants to discuss them in a civil manner.
Stick your head back in the sand.
Gwad, I'm shaking in my boots.
Voice our opinion? Please. Shouting down anyone who dares to have a viewpoint you don't agree with is hardly voicing your opinion.
The really sad thing is that you folks are shills for lobbyists and rich fat cats who don't give a damn about you.
Your post in a nutshell.
I found two clips here at MMfA.
- Media Matters' Boehlert goes head-to-head with Tancredo over Sotomayor on CNN
- MMFA's Boehlert, AIM's Aronoff debate conservative media's "militia rhetoric of hate" on CNN
I only mention this, because I did not see an instance in this clip where he seemed to make Rick Sanchez nervous and was just curious.
I've noticed how jittery and jumpy these hosts get when someone really starts to speak the truth about the dishonesty and misinformation coming from the right. I guess they know their corporate bosses are watching.
we need more of this, but i bet if he keeps speaking the truth he will get less invites. so think went on have to do what you can went you can for as long as you can.
yes interview was looking nervous.
Here is a good article on the unsurance industry. I'll excerpt it a bit for you. Better yet, watch the program.

This week on the JOURNAL, Bill Moyers spoke with Wendell Potter, a former health insurance executive who left the industry to become an advocate for health care reform. Potter discussed the industry’s history of denying care to members and its extensive efforts to prevent the federal government from creating a “public option” for health insurance to compete with private plans. Potter said:
I also caught that program the other night - it was done well and eye-opening.

That other one is good too if you want to see/discuss other opinions. Now this (the first link) is what the conversation should look like. That's why I like Moyers. He has thoughtful people from all side on to discuss real problems/solutions.
And he (Moyers) is from Texas and is cuter than two speckled pups. ;-)
