      Coordinated efforts from the for-profit insurance vampires as well as a general lack of acceptance that the black man is president.

      I want my country back!!!

      Great work by Media Matters...

      The corporate suits at ABC were pulling the strings.

      You had two of the biggest wimps on the corporate beat--Gibson and Stephanopoulos--just sucking it up for their corporate masters.

      Then ask the questions, get the answer and sit down or ask a follow up. But booing and yelling...grow-up. And if the answers aren't satidfactory vote against the elected official the next time. But to deny the rest of the people in that room thier rights is, well, what the Repubs want.

      The only way to fail to report on the coordinated conservative effort to disrupt these meetings is to do it intentionally. The information is easily available, so you have to want to not see it.

      What "liberal" media?

        The disrupters ARE real. They are real idiots, who have really been brainwashed by Hannnity, Limbaugh, Beck, etc. They are real bigots who have a real hard time accepting that one of "them" is President.

        They have a real literacy problem and a real lack of knowledge concerning anything beyond what Fox and talk radio chooses to tell them. They are real sheep, and they are real shallow, and they are really, really sad.

      All the MSM reports---and I mean all---fail to point out what's right before their cameras. The loudest whiners either seem to be old enough to be on Medicare or are frothing evangelicals.

      This isn't so much about health care as trying to fight the 2008 election again.
