Claire McCaskill Hammered by Wingnuts at Town Hall

Sen. Claire McCaskill is being hammered, booed and otherwise disrespected by some of folks at her town hall. Watch it here. There are a lot of rude shout outs and just plain uninformed people being rotten. Earlier today, people got out of control at Arlen Specter's town hall.
McCaskill tried to use reason. On the "death panels" she said: do you really think politicians are going to abuse senior citizens (they are the most reliable voting force)?
On government spending question, McCaskill asks: where were you on Medicare Part D? Frontline had a great program on how republicans passed Medicare Part D and boosted the national debt. Watch it here.

McCaskill reminds everyone that earlier they had all said a prayer. Some women were tossed out of the event for signs? I don't know what's up with the sign thing.
McCaskill could rival Obama for the cool cucumber award. She concludes the town hall saying by and large "this was a good meeting." Okay Sen. McCaskill. Talk about low standards. Whew. As the town hall went on, she did make headway in getting people to calm down.
I'll post video when it's up.

Man Slams Koran at Specter Town Hall

I agree with the sentiment that these Congress people holding the town halls aren't doing a good job of listening and responding to people. They're like deer in the headlights. You'd think they'd know how to deal with angry mobs.
But come on people. Get a grip. Why is it so plain to me that these folks are nuts. Why can't they see that they're irrational, nonsensical? This man says he read the Koran and according to his interpretation, people who don't believe are supposed to be exterminated. Someone of Islamic faith who reads the Bible might also be shocked and appalled. Religious texts are violent.

Some idiot shoves another idiot, who gets violent and irate and says God is going to judge Specter and the rest of his cronies on the Hill. It seems to me that an anti-Islamic feeling is playing a big role in this mass ignorance. I think that's one of the reasons that these people hate Obama so much. Republicans successfully convinced many people during the campaign that Obama was a secret Muslim terrorist. Republicans did a terrible disservice to the American people not combating the rumors as soon as they started. Republicans figured they could exploit people to win an election. They've validated these people and have created a monster.

"You've awakened the sleeping giant," says Katy Abram, who goes on to talk about socialism:

Sebelius Says Town Hall Disruptions Nationally Driven

Right wingers always call Obama supporters "drones" and "Obamabots." Get a look at the fools (the teabag party) disrupting the town halls. They don't even know what they're talking about.
Thanks to the republicans for the gift that keeps on giving. They are so good at being the troll under the bridge. How about a real debate with facts instead of distortion. The republicans don't consider Americans smart enough for that, which is why Obama won.

This is just rude and obnoxious behavior. More foolery cooked up by the republican trolls:
