      "I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face."

      -Baarack Obama


      "I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration."

      -Hillary Clinton

        Wow panola. You really schooled us. LOL. I'll put those quotes through the wingnut translator.

        Get in your face (and tell them th truth, I might add) = scream, yell and muddy the waters of debate with wholly mad up crap

        the right to debate and disagree = rattle them and se above.

        So the town hall protesters are only following Obama's advice. And they are being met with violence from the thugs of Seiu.

          The protesters are shouting all right but they have no substance. Screaming 'NO!' without any further elaboration doesn't cut it.

            Yeah how dare they demand that the bill be read before the voting. What an outrageous demand.

            Should they adopt liberal methods of protest, like assault, maybe that would be more to your liking?

              What's outrageous are a bunch of mental simpletons - like yourself, as evidenced with your brainless posts - yelling and screaming simply for the sake of yelling and screaming. Doing so because some college dropout radio loser tells them to. Doing so to deliberately shut down legitimate debate on the issue.

              These teabaggers have NOTHING to offer except soundbites for the moronic masses. They certainly are not offering any substantive debate.

      I expect Dodd thinks it's hypocrisy for anyone on the left to call anyone or anything un-American because the left is by definition un-American.

        Lou, you ignorant moron...

        We're talking about the tea-party, birther, wing-nut freak-oids who go to the Town Halls only to shout down any serious discussion of issues. Just to shut everything down.

        I guess Lou thinks all these right-wing terrorists are there just to express themselves.

        Lou, you're a joke.

                  Don't expect any but if 'fairlib' decides to take the bait, he/she most likely will post some crap that's been approved by Rush... in other words, crap that doesn't even come close to the truth.

      If the vision of America that is shared by Dobbs, Limbaugh and Hannity is the real America, I'll renounce my citizenship right now.

      They've hijacked the patriotic terminology to exclude anyone who holds views different than their own.

      Dobbs, you're such a LIAR!

      You know FULL WELL that the message of Pelosi was PRECISELY what President Obama said in your clip! That drowning out debate is un-American! You know this, and yet you hold forth exactly the opposite to be true.

      I stand behind what Nancy Pelosi said. Drowning out debate IS un-American!

        So do you agree that the libs who have done just that in the past and even assaulted conservative speakers are un-American?

        Funny, no one wants to answer that question.

          Funny, you never provide links for your attacks.

          Now think back, to your glory days of the Bush Administration. Where you had hand-picked republicans ONLY attending town halls and rallies. Where even someone with a Democratic bumper sticker on their car wasn't allowed entry. Where protestors were herded into "free speech zones".

          Your blind partisanship is disgusting and, frankly, un-American.
