Sen. Durbin: Town Hall Protests “Clearly Orchestrated”


Sen. Dick Durbin ѕауѕ thаt mаd dialogue аt health care town halls аrе “clearly orchestrated” bу Republian groups. “Town meetings аrе nοt bean bags.” Hе adds thаt “screaming groups οn еіthеr side [aren't] helpful.” Sen. John Cornyn ѕауѕ thаt іt’s a ехсеllеnt thουght tο “ѕlοw down” аnd listen tο thе people during thе August recess аnd come up a рlοt οthеr thаn “thіѕ hυgе government takeover οf ουr health care system.” Durbin іѕ аlѕο qυеѕtіοnеd іn thіѕ area thе White House’s “irregular” email program, аnd used “Senator Barack Obama” аѕ аn example. Hе ѕауѕ іt’s a “rebuttal tο ѕοmе tеrrіblе information”, аnd disagrees wіth Cornyn’s “government takeover” comment.

    I reckon it’s a combination of both. When you go to a town hall meeting it’s the same rhetoric. Everyone says the same things and it’s often absurd. I reckon people like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh play a huge role in getting people frightened by spreading lies which leads these paranoid people to act out hostile to their elected officials. It’s really sad. The most recent meeting I went to, this man got up and started yelling and the congressman place him in his place which was nice to see.

  • bmoecardinals:

    dick durbin is a real jerk and a nasty liberal!

  • 3684541:

    Wow. It is so insanely ridiculous to suggest that liberals aren’t all went by the DNC and the liberal media. All they have are hallow discussion points, just echoes, being beat in their empty heads by this liberal agenda. Are you kidding me? Where are these people discussion out hostile to university students preventing conservative thinkers from presenting at their university? It is obscenely one-sided in this country with the media. The RNC must make use of the internet and win congress in ’10!

  • Khazule:

    Yeah, I bet they do.

  • BIGSKYHAL50:

    Don’t know in this area you socialist Khazule. But I know the people I talk to. They HATE your system, and come here for most healthcare…….

  • Khazule:

    Can you stop insincere in this area my country please? There are no ‘waiting lists’ for anything except minor or elective surgery, and those are typically 2-3 weeks.

    I like your Palin’esque logic: “I live near a group of people, so my knowledge of them must be intimate”. You’re an idiot.

  • BIGSKYHAL50:

    I live next to canadians (sorry in this area spelling). Many come to the US for anything major concerning health care, operations, stuff like that. Many beleive the quality of the doctors is better also, which makes sense, because doctors make alot more money in the US than in Canada…….You don’t want to be place on a waiting list for a gall bladder operation if its hurting you now……….

  • SuperEvilC:

    You haven’t seen nothin yet. ;D

  • integral:

    gee, superevil, you’re just a small bit insane in the crust, arentcha?

  • integral:

    “Canadas does now work”?

    What?

    If you meant Canada’s does not work I’m worried you’ll have to question Canadians.

    When Iived there I heard no complaints.

    You might want to stop watching Fox nooze if you’d like to stay informed.

  • integral:

    yawn

    yeah, yeah

    the american people, meaning you and your tiny-brained teabagger buddies

    hear it all before

  • NortonAntiMoron:

    Amen. This is why I went all of my money to cash and locked it up out of Ovomit’s reach. He can keep the change while we keep our money

  • NortonAntiMoron:

    Voting will not take out these viruses. They are rootkits that are deeply embedded in our os (government). We need a revolution, and we need to reload our ”os” to a clean state with new politicians and enforce the constitution.

  • victormyers1:

    these democrats are upset that the american people no longer are listening to thier propaganda and lies,all the tactics that they used so far proves that they cannot be trusted ,I just read on the AP that obama just told the unions he wants thier support to pass this healthcare, be careful we have seen what they are capable of, vote them out

  • BIGSKYHAL50:

    People wanna question questions, they should be able to question questions. Crimmany, people don’t want a national health care system. Canadas does now work, why make the same mistakes?

  • Rockholm66:

    I am already sick and tired of this bullshit debate. There is nothing in the Constitution that states the Federal Government has any authority to Tax the hell out of me and give it to someone else. Here we are…The have not’s want us, the have’s, to pay for their medical. I will not do it! Many of the people that want this single payer system, have Cel phones, and many other luxuries, and they claim the cant afford their Insurance. It’s all bullshit, and it’s a huge Government takeover!

  • josephlathus:

    Fuck you Durbin! this is redicuous! we have been trying to voice ourselves and nobody listens! what else can you do if no one will do anything in this area this government. We need to see that our constitution isnt ruined! this is AMERICA! I would rather die than live as a slave. we are on to all of you and your years of Bullshit…Revolution is at hand

  • cartmanfan0316:

    Dear Small Dick Durbin,

    You will be exposed! You will burn (figuratively) for the sins that you have been commited. Also, stop calling our country a Democracy! We are a Republic! Get it Right!

  • librophile:

    Recent NATIONAL POLLS show that PRO-LIFE ACTIVISTS overwhelmingly SUPPORT President Obama HEALTH CARE REFORM & PUBLIC OPTION

    Because it will be a SURE WAY to provide AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE for the MOTHER and her BABY.

    I reckon it does make a total lot of sense.

  • gaylen13:

    You do not know what you are discussion in this area.

  • lmcentireusmc:

    Yeah libropedophile take the trustworthy reliable word of groups like ACORN because they are so “trustworthy” that they are under investigation in many states for fraud, you are an idiot excellent thing your not in the military because you would recieve what we call some incentive training. You people piss me off so terrible with your total disregard for the constitution and your obvious hatred for America and capitalism. Hopefully we in Texas secede and you can have the rest.

  • librophile:

    Imcentireusmc … By your own words of mutiny, you disgrace yourself & the corps you represent.

    Question your CO for an dishonorable discharge and go live in the woods by yourself to hide your shame … away from us right Patriotic & loyal Americans.

  • librophile:

    Sorry Pal !! But I’ll take the word of the people whose job was to tracked down the votes.

    68% of our troops did in fact vote for President Obama & only 21% of Americans today are republicans.

    New voters catalog as democrats 5 to 1 compare to republicans new registrations.

    The republicans lie & distort. It facility for a very small time until their lies are debunked & they are exposed as liars.

    This tactic is their downfall. They end themselves & turned people hostile to them.

  • lmcentireusmc:

    You sir are incorrect I am a Nautical therefore in the military and can tell you that 90% of those in the Corps do not support Obummer, and we are not on the way out you are and the best thing is your destroying yourself by screening America who you really are a bunch of wacks and socialists

  • lmcentireusmc:

    Oh so you have no brain then eh, your probably some freaking POG certainly no grunt, the oath you took was to defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC of which Obamanation is an rival to our constitution as he is obviously taking our freedom away bit by bit, by the way Courage is also in the credo the courage to do what is right no matter what the courage to stand up and fight for what is right and to defend those who cant defend themselves
