The left sent out their astroturfed goons and union thugs to disrupt town hall events this week. As usual, their strategy was to shout down, silence and threaten conservatives.
Rep. Dan Webster (R-FL) was shouted down by a few of the far left goons this week at his final town hall event in Orlando, Florida.
The Orlando Sentinel reported, via HotAir:
A town hall meeting held in Orlando by U.S. Rep. Dan Webster degenerated into bedlam Tuesday, with members of the crowd shouting down the freshman Republican congressman and yelling at one another.
It was the last of a series of town hall meetings Webster has hosted during Congress’ spring recess, which ends Monday. While the others were civil and largely uneventful, the 300 people at Tuesday’s meeting were so raucous they were scolded by a police officer to act “like grown people.”
Webster tried to go over a series of charts showing growing levels of federal spending and debt, and the reason he supports the federal budget plan put forward by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. But he was interrupted at every turn by shouts from his critics, including members of progressive groups such as Moveon.org and Organize Now.
Notice how outnumbered they are.

I believe that the tea party should be called into the meeting for the amount of space that is permitted and have special passes to get into the townhall. Two can play these low lifes game. All Tea Party Patriots get involved and get the list of partriots and make arrangements with your congress men to bring them in from the side door. hehe
MAJ Mike commented:
The LibCong thugs will claim that they are only doing what the Tea Party folks were doing a couple of years ago. Purple shirts are the new Brown Shirts.

Tea bags vs. scumbags. End of story.
LarryBrasfield commented:
If it was me in front of that crowd, I would ask two questions: Who wants to be ruled by these kind of people? Then: Who thinks their agenda should dominate this meeting? After the general silence or more yelling from the thugs, security can haul them away, most likely to the relief of the sincere attendees.
People need to realize that the Leftists are not civilized. As soon as they get real power, the blood-letting will begin and the moral rot we see partially exposed in this sort of incident will be unrestrained.
NeoKong commented:
For those who do not know, Daniel Webster is the man who beat that ass clown Alan Grayson and took his seat.
I don’t know what budget the fat guy was complaining about. As far as I know there has been no budget and only continuing resolutions. Dan Webster was not a U.S. Rep that last time there was an actual budget.

Post #4 has it right with one exception. The violence has begun already.
It will be condoned and accepted if not checked.
Why do many of you refuse to take responsibility for your own safety?
Get a firearm, training, and a tote permit. You are dragging the rest of us down.

Where on Earth do these loudmouthed morons think the money is going to come from? “Oh, we’ll just print more.” No thanks, we’ve already done that. And just who, exactly, benefited? Why the self-serving union scumbags, of course.

Fuzzy commented:
They really don’t get it, do they? They think they can manufacture voter outrage, recreate the town halls of 2009, but they just look desperate and grasping. It’s pathetic.

Great video from about Obama’s past from Pajama’s media- http://youtu.be/aVgRRbDuZvY
befuddled commented:
how can you reason with unreasonable people. the country is now bankrupt.if you don’t want to wake up in Mexico tomorrow, you better do something about it now. notice the talking points in the video: tax the rich, tax the corporations,Koch brothers… it’s always turn over another rock, and there you will another pot of gold. it’s never about personal sacrifice and spending cuts.
who voted to give ACORN 3 billion dollars? does anyone in the audience know what ACORN actually does for them?why did we need a $865 billion stimulus bill to save union jobs at the cost of private sector jobs?why did obama mandate that all construction job projects costing 25 million or more be done by union labor in a market where they represent only 15% of the labor force?why have we committed ourselves to $1.2 trillion in Obamacare spending?what has Soros done?
Ladue Pundit commented:
I wonder if the media is showing this stuff. If so, they’ll blame the Tea Party.
The Devil and Daniel Webster!!!! Next townhall, I’d have police on hand BEFORE starting and lots of cameras rolling: get their faces, cars, license plates. Let’s roll.
Ginger commented:
Liberals sure are small minded little people.
They think they are important to the kenyan fraud. If they were smart enough they would know that they would be the first ones to be taken down if the communist/muslim take over of our country. You see they can not be controlled so they will go first! hehehehehe
We will take them down in November 2012! Then the little scum bags can crawl back in their holes.

Obviously, it doesn’t matter how outnumbered they are. They accomplished their goal.

it was good to see people stand up to confront the left. i notice most of them were old. unfortunately for the young the marxist indoctrination of the their teachers is still too fresh in their minds.

Operation Education Fail has worked so far, the idiots have dumbed-down the peeps in general, being Money Grows From Trees. So the outcome is violence.
Annaleesea commented:
If the “Tea Party” is going to be effective they have to organize like the union idiots. If say, Lou Barletta is going to have a town hall in Carbon county then the Tea Party has to send out a call to activism to all of us by some main source..ie..a main website for the state. I had no idea Lou was doing that and I live an hour away. Yes, the union idiots have no class and we should rise above it, but they’re going to kill us on this…Teapartiers, don’t yell and scream, just show up with your signs and excellent questions, there are LOTS of seniors who dislike obamas agenda in this area.
Freedomplow commented:
NBC new this astroturf campaign was coming so they sent out a reporter (today) and covered it without telling the viewing audience about the astroturf part.

wanumba commented:
That article is SO misleading. It describes a picture of bedlam, of chaos when it was clearly a few Democrats disrupting – for blatently Democrat partisan purposes – with the majority of attendees demanding that the Congressman be allowed to speak unharrassed. The rude, shouting Democrats know damn well the Congressman wasn’t responsible for ANY of their complaints – he’s NEW – but they treat him as if he was.
The media is in CONSTANT spin, covering UP for the Democrats and covering OVER the PEOPLE who demand basic civility. THe article as written does NOT plainly identify WHO instigated the disrupting, the partisan and organized nature of it and fails to follow up with the natural investigative question of : who’s funding these professional poseurs?

That’s not the right question, Barbara. What you should be asking is “Does the left really and truly think?”

When the Tea Party members were at townhall meetings yelling at Democrats over “Obamacare”, I bet you didn’t call them thugs. The hypocrisy is stunning.

No, of course not. The thugs were the Demonrat Congressbast*rds lying their @sses off about ObamaCare. The Republican is telling the truth about the debt, while a Demonrat lies. I’ll toss out a couple of tough questions to you: Can you tell the difference lying and telling the truth? And why? Do you know the difference between grass roots protests and astroturf protests?
