Radical Socialist Rep. Donna Edwards Protests Paul Ryan at Town Hall Meeting (Video)

The leftist mob is getting more extremist and desperate by the day…
Radical socialist Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD) led a protest against Paul Ryan outside his town hall meeting yesterday.
Real classy, Donna.
Of course, she completely lied about Ryan’s Medicare plan. She is an elected democrat, after all.
The Hill reported:
In a rare move for a member of Congress, Rep. Donna Edwards (D-Md.) led a protest Monday outside a town-hall meeting featuring House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).
Ryan joined Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.), and Gov. Nikki Haley (S.C.) for a taping of a town-hall meeting to be broadcast on CBS, at the Newseum in Washington.
“No to Ryan, Yes to Medicare!” Edwards and several dozen protesters chanted.
The American Federation of Government Employees, The National Association of Letter Carriers, Americans United for Change and Planned Parenthood were among the groups protesting the House-passed 2012 budget, authored by Rep. Ryan.
That plan would transform Medicare for those currently under 55 years old into a sort of voucher system that would be used in the private insurance market once they reach retirement. The system now a single-payer system for seniors.
Edwards said that to control the deficit, taxes must be raised on the wealthy and subsidies for oil- and-gas companies must be eliminated before any reforms to Medicare are discussed.

Wait a minute! Why didn’t the dems do this BEFORE they cut a HALF-TRILLION DOLLARS from Medicare in order to pass ObamaCare? You know, when they had control of the House, the Senate and the Oval Office!
Or does cutting a half-trillion dollars from Medicare not qualify as a REFORM?

Is it legal for elected officials to lead protests against other elected officials?
Mrs. X commented:
Dems lie. It’s their one and only purposeful credential.
Dems love social welfare because that’s all they’ve got to sell their victims.
Dems hate the oil companies, even though they provide them many luxuries in their pathetic lives.
That is the mentality of a douche-bag lie-beral.
Mrs. X commented:
@Auntie, she’d just call it a “campaign” if not.
Sasja commented:
Those postal service employees who seem to have the time for this nonsense can be added to the layoff list. USPS has been closing branches here and my letter carrier told me he now has 2 additional routes. That is why he gets to my house around 5:00p each day instead of 1:00.

Communist Pig! Isn’t that the term these 1960′s rejects used to use for law enforment. DONNA EDWARDS=PIG

@Auntiemadder
Good call, the Hatch Act actually forbids Ms Edwards from doing exactly what she did.

Anytime you pull a piglet off the sow’s nipple it’s going to squeal, and it’s the same here…many people who’ve been on the public’s money and have been doing good enough to get by well, are going to raise holy heck when changes are proposed. The “care-obsessed” libs, socialists, etc. are going to promote their agendas and careers by acting like they give a care, but are really just alligned with the commies, anarchists and the Bill Ayers types. Wake up America!
HeavyDee commented:
Just for grins, let’s have this MENSA debate Ryan on the budget and Medicare reform. I’m in the mood for a good laugh.

@Auntie–It’s legal–it’s just unethical. BUT, because she’s black, the ethics committee WON’T be filing charges. Wait and see.

@jimmy….my thoughts exactly…can’t touch a “black person” for fear of the race card coming out….. sick a$$ libtards commie traitors…why don’t they just all haul A$$ the hell out of america
AuntieMadder commented:
@ #11 – JimmyT, I looked it up and read it for myself. It’s illegal. The Hatch Act forbids it.
Sally commented:
I see she lined up the Code Pinkers (you know- the ones who are “anti-war” and haven’t uttered a peep as we have invaded and up-turned the entire Middle East).
gus commented:
LIBTARDS like this pig, are Commies. They don’t care that their is no money, they expect someone else to just pay more.
Edwards is a useless idiot. In a debate with Ryan this silly bitch wouldn’t even show up.
gus commented:
You know, I don’t think Edwards is so much lying as she is an IGNORANT MORON. Libs have no solutions to ANYTHING. Taxing someone, something, anything and giving that tax money to their constituents to stay in power is all they know. Oh, and RACE BAITING, they’re good at that too.
SeniorD commented:
Gotta love that gerrymandered district complete with a tiny strip of land crossing I-95. How else could the Demodonks of the “Free State” pack their House of Barons delegation.
Another “Useful Idiot”
tommy mc donnell commented:
do senior citizens live in a cocoon that they believe this crap. maybe is time for republicans to go to the senior citizen ghettoes where the democrats warehouse the senior citizens to tell them the truth directly.
JimmyT commented:
@Auntie–I would respectfully disagree. Hatch Act forbids association with “Groups” attempting to overthrow the government. I don’t believe this “protest” meets that criteria.
J commented:
Just look at her marvelously toned arms! Her dress is divine. Bet she has some good ideas about what we should eat and and how we should live. Remind you of some other lefty lunatic? Look to 1600 Penn. Ave. for a clue.
