Crowds At Town Hall Meetings Begin Pushing Back Against Right-Wing Scare Tactics On Health Care
Crowds At Town Hall Meetings Begin Pushing Back Against Right-Wing Scare Tactics On Health Care
Over the summer, the loudest voices at town hall meetings belonged to people who opposed health care reform — and they were often pushed to speak out by lobbyist-run organizations. Instead of honest debates on the issues surrounding health care policy, there was a spectacle of irresponsible lies, shouting, and even reports of violence, creating a narrative that the public opposes substantive health care reform put forth by President Obama and congressional Democrats.
The majority of Americans who do favor health reform are beginning to push back. With the media’s attention back on Congress in Washington, many far right protesters have lost interest in showing up and making a spectacle. The people left are those who are actually engaged in the health care debate, and they’re sick of partisan antics.
At a town hall meeting in Virginia yesterday, Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) faced constituents who were upset that Republicans haven’t put out any real health care proposals:
Richmond resident Ben Ragsdale demanded to know how Republicans were going to expand access to healthcare if they have only a four-page list of bullet-points as their plan.
“What is your substantive proposal to meet these real everyday problems that people have? Where’s the beef?” Ragsdale asked, triggering applause from the crowd.
Marlise Skinner, a registered nurse who has dealt with medical insurance issues for years, also pressed Cantor. Skinner told him that “the public option seems to be the best that’s out there so far … what is the alternative out there that would truly control costs, because I’m hearing a lot of spin but I’m not hearing what you would do to control it?”
At a recent town hall meeting in Kansas, Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R) claimed that Democratic health proposals would “determine what every doctor in America will make.” While he may have gotten away with that claim over the summer — when his audience would have been stacked with right-wing loyalists — this time, his audience cut him off with “outbursts of moans, gasps and laughter.” Watch it:
At another recent town hall meeting, Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX) told a story about a woman whose unborn son had a heart defect and claimed that under the public option, “her son would not have been born.” The crowd responded by booing the lie.

What’s wrong with the Republicans plan for health care? It doesn’t exist.
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:06 pmLooks like the dog & pony show has finally left town. Now all that’s left are the Republican clowns to try to clean up the elephant shite that the teabaggers left on the floor.
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:08 pmI don’t care how many good ideas the liberals have to make insurance affordable and eliminate the b.s.
I don’t care that the provost of the University of Virginia, Arthur Garson, M.D., M.P.H., says the public option would save hundreds of billions a year.
I don’t care about the horrors faced by people every day, the 45,000 who don’t have insurane who die.
I care about the status-quo. I care deeply about what is so hard to change now.
The answer is still NO. How many times does this ousted republican who’s full of himself have to make it clear?
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:09 pmWhile I applaud people FINALLY standing up to these baffoons. Much of the damage has already been done. Big Business and thier Republican enablers riled up their unintellegent base and MSM paraded then as if they were the Majority. So now even though people are coming around, the momentum is down. Thanks again Repugs! If we don’t get rform now. How long will we have to wait? 20 more years? 30 more years? depressing.
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:09 pmObama is going to have to keep doing what he’s doing now. Namely, stay out in front and keep pushing it. I think its beginning to work too.
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:11 pmMan do I feel special, that’s the first time I’ve ever been able to post the first comments although, I’ve been trying for years. The real problem with the Republicans is that they are bought and paid for by special interest. By insurance companies and big pharma, which doesn’t allow them any room to actually propose any real ideas. If you notice when they speak about it, they first attack and then make open ended statements about what they don’t like in the Democrats plan. I suggested that both parties write separate plans and then give both an up or down vote. The answer was no. That’s because the Republicans have an intention of ever passing health care reform. They just want to defeat anything that President Obama does except military interventions. They are all for stupid military adventures that make no sense and that will get us involved in a shooting war with no end.
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:11 pmHow pathetic.
Todd Tiahrt has to read his lies.
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:12 pmTiahrt just does his “little engine that could” routine, and plows through his prepared remarks as if no one else is in the room.
All the while thinking to himself, “Where are my teabaggers!?”
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:13 pmTake the four pages full of vague language or leave it. The most important thing is that it’s quick & easy for the insurance companies’ legal and lobbying outfit to read.

Maybe you shouldn’t have voted down our gun amendment and we wouldn’t have this problem. You put us in a bind.
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:16 pmYes, it was getting a little out of control when a Democratic representative was shouted down and called a traitor when she/he was just trying to tell the audience where the fire exits were and was not even talking about health care reform at the moment!
Nice to know rational Americans are finally being heard after all the scary silliness!
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:17 pmThe republican’s plan is 4 pages long? Who wants to bet it took them 5 months to come up with those 4 pages? Wouldn’t surprise me.
THE REAL REPUBLICAN PLAN: plastic, duct tape, and bootstraps.

Tom DeLay put on a nice display of sociopathy on ‘Dancing’. That f ucking segment turned my stomach. That guy is Shooter McGavin on freakaroids. Very bizarre segment to watch.

September 22nd, 2009 at 7:26 pmHe was met with LAUGHTER, he should have been pelted with rotten vegetables.
That LIE was so obvious, how did he repeat it without laughing?
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:26 pm@14, Yeah, he pretty much made a fool of himself. Kind of like Karl Rove rapping at the Correspondants dinner. Or Blago lip syncing, don’t the ex-pols of any shame? Guess not.

September 22nd, 2009 at 7:32 pmIt gets expensive bussing Jerry Springer contestants to town hall meetings. The violence that ensued must have piled up some nasty medical bills. For the right wingers who were hurt it would have been priceless to see their faces as they examined the medical bills and realized a quarter of their yearly income had just been sucked out of the wallet.

I wonder if had a fire broken out, the shouters would stay and burn rather than use the socialized exits, much less listen to liberal lies about their locations. Something tells me they wouldn’t.
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:37 pmFunny, I’ve seen little aaronk all over the threads today, but nowhere near any one dealing with healthcare. I guess he’a afraid he’ll run into Fred.
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:41 pmElBruce, the conservatives would have blamed the liberals for not being specific had a fire broke out and they didn’t hear where the fire exits were….because they were too busy shouting at their representative and had their fingers in their ears in case their rep gave a response filled with truth! See? All conservatives behave this way. Look at Tom Delay, he spent his whole time dancing staring at his partner’s boobs and looked like a fool!
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:45 pmThe majority of Americans who do favor health reform are beginning to push back.
It’s about damn time.
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:46 pmAnd this is was in Conservative Kansas! Not surprising that the easily duped showed up early on and contributed nothing more than noise. The uninformed without real convictions have a very short attention span.
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:51 pmIt must be unsettling for Cantor, Tiahrt, and Olson to show up at town hall meetings and see folk earnestly checking fact sheets will calm demeanor.
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:53 pmToo cool. You have to love these confrontations because it is going to make a lot of Republicans uncomfortable voting against the health care plan. In fact, the public opinion my compel some of these Republicans to vote for the plan.
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:56 pmThe teaparty townhalls had astroturf wingnuts shipped in. They are not organized enough to keep it up forever.

she was my prom date.
…
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:57 pmEvery day with growing anger and frustration I see some conservative in the media claiming that the American people are,”outraged,” by the prospect of,”government-run health care.” Well they’re right, I am outraged! I’m outraged that the G.O.P. have adopted a,”break every toy in the sandbox,” strategy. I am outraged that they continuously deny the will of the majority of Americans, AND THEN CLAIM TO SPEAK FOR ME!!! They claim to be pro-life but happily look the other way when our infant mortality rate is abysmal compared with other developed nations. With a profound lack of any substantial argument opposing health care reform the Republicans have abandoned any pretense of statesmanship and have attempted to turn any public forum into a Jerry Springer-esque spectacle. Ya, YOUR RIGHT I’M OUTRAGED!

WE’RE OUTRAGED! Of course, after 8 years of George Bush the republicans are used to dropping to the floor and screaming like babies to get what they want and if anyone interferes in their lying, hate spewing, or warmongering, they cry like one.
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:23 pmkaty@34, Yeah, really? MSM went with that and BOOM! It disappeared. Orly Taitz, The Birther Queen, is in deep sh*t and does MSM report it? Nooo.. MSM does what it does best. Make the Wack-jobs look mainstream to influence the Average Joe. Now that people are fighting back at these Repugs, is MSM reporting it? No. I hate MSM.

The answer is stil NO.
No logical, fact-filled, thoughtful arguments and rebuttals will change that. We have reelection coffers to fill and interests to serve in order to get them filled.
If you ungrateful Americans get your health insurance choices I’ll have to depend on you for your collective $25 donations, where right now I can simply call the big five insurance companies for a few big checks. They fit in the same envelope and give my campaign brand-name appeal.

Politically Superior
These liberals may be right on the money, but I want my money–and that’s why health reform is a no-no. Thanks for being in the same boat. We need a few more cold bastards in life.
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:31 pmboorish.
understatement of the month.
and it’s been a long month.
(but it’s a word that i love. aptly applied, to boot – thx dbad)
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:31 pm“compared to the 1000’s who protested at town halls last month.”
more like the same 10 old fogies who hit every townhall from coast to coast courtesy of transportation provided by dick armey.
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:32 pmRemember the minuscule turnout at the 9/12 Project march? I mean, really, if Americans were really truly outraged about health care reform….MORE THAN 70,000 WOULD HAVE SHOWED UP to march. But they didn’t. Only the right wing fringe showed up, you know, the people who consistently vote against their needs for the CEO’s of America who take in millions & billions in annual pay and bonuses on the backs of the downtrodden and who told us for years that supporting your president right or wrong is the true sign of a Patriot!
Idiots they are.
What matters, though, are the people in our lives who are saying a huge change needs to happen with health care in this country. Despite what the WATBs screamed and despite what the MSM is doing, Americans are sick of losing their homes just because they had a gallbladder removed.
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:33 pmI would concur that it appears the astroturfers and teabaggers may have peaked and unable to generate the same numbers at town halls. The Dems should be mobilizing people to attend these town halls and ask their reps the tough questions. If a few Republicans break and vote for the plan because of public opinion in their district, it would deal a blow to Republican party’s plans to continue to oppose all of Obama’s initiatives. They might find that saying no is no longer an option and they will have to come up with alternative plans.

Even if a few of you are in your 20s, you all might as well be old. You’ve all reached senility ahead of your time.
Remember the jackass dime-a-dozen finance major at a PUBLIC university–uptight, stiff, future money-pusher who thought he could out question president obama along the lines of “how can a private entity providing insurance compete with the government?” He thought he sounded so smart but the world knew he had a lot to learn and didn’t care to learn it. He’s a freakin’ finance major, what can you expect?
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:04 pmkay,
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:04 pmaccording to the picture they used of a protest from ten years ago, it surely looked like two million. unfortunately, it wasn’t of their white trashfest. a redsox game drew in more people than that.
Would that be the same Rep. Tiahrt who “accidentally” sent a campaign mailer pimping his commitment to “protecting the unborn” to Scott Roeder?
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:05 pmIn related news, Nate Silver points out the negative impact on Chuck Grassley (R-IA) of his health care position. Frankly, individual instances of people yelling don’t mean squat; comprehensive polling numbers mean a lot more. This means more politically vulnerable Republicans in 2010 and 2012, and more seats for us.
.
Politically Superior says:
You call that a pushback? Seems like a few pro-health reform people speaking out, compared to the 1000’s who protested at town halls last month.
We’ve reviewed those videos as well, and it was only a few people raising a ruckus, at only a handful of the meetings.

Not the same tactics at all. You’ll notice that nobody shouted out anything specific. Nobody grabbed the mic and went on a long tirade. It was just an honest response from the audience at the enormity of the lie they were being told.
.
Politically Superior says:
Yeah, because what you saw on your biased CNN/MSNBC news show REALLY gives you a picture of what it was really like at the town hall meetings.
And you have secret special knowledge that the rest of us aren’t privy to because…?
Here, let me provide you with some suggestions:
1. My crystal ball gives me full unedited footage of all town hall meetings
2. The only important parts of the town halls were covered by FAUX News
3. All of the parts of town halls that are bad for my side were faked on a sound stage, just like the moon landing.
Pick one.

September 22nd, 2009 at 9:10 pmYep. They had to use the African American protests in DC to brag about theirs. LOL! How pathetic.
I’ll never forget one of the protests I went to down in Kennebunkport, Maine to protest Dumbass & Putin who were there. The crowd size to me felt like 5,000 plus. It wasn’t. It was @ 2,000. When you’re standing in a large crowd and can’t see the end, it doesn’t mean it’s an endless crowd of millions! LOL Feels like it. When you look at the actual pictures of the 9/12 Project march and count the number of buildings and take into consideration that they were spread out wide and were not spread out in length (not even near the Lincoln Memorial! That day will never happen, Tards!), the conservatives look like fools as usual.

Politically Superior, if you want to so desperately live in a third world country, there are plenty to choose from. The government keeps taxes low, labor cheap, gated communities, no dissention, plenty of law and order and very nationalistic. You know it takes a little effort, but you could end up in the very inter circles of the decision making. I think you need to check it out.
The Democracy called the United States does not appear to the place for you. You don’t seem to understand the concept of elections. As a Republican, you have no clue to good governance. I don’t think you or your party can be honest, even with yourselves.
The Republican Party and its principles were rejected in 2008, it’s about time to get over it and move on or just find someplace else to live.

September 22nd, 2009 at 9:57 pmGlenn Beck is always saying that we have to connect-the-dots. Well, the next attack on America by the conservatives will be: 10-10-09. Why? Because when you type it backwards like this, 90-01-01….it reads as, 911 which translates to 9/11! See? We’re doomed. That’s D-Day #2 for us.

September 22nd, 2009 at 10:26 pmPolitically Superior says:
I didn’t know 2 million people was minuscule.
This lie was well documented. It’s all over the Internets.
1. The D.C. Fire Department estimated the crowd at 60,000 – 70,000.
2. ABC reported the DCFD’s estimate of 60,000 – 70,000.
3. An organizer at the event (Matt Kibbe) announced that ABC had reported an estimate of 1,000,000 – 1,500,000.
4. Some twitterers repeated that, rounding it up to 2,000,000.
5. Michelle Malkin “reported” 2,000,000.
6. Because the estimate they reported was so wildly exaggerated, ABC had to issue another statement, reiterating the number they had originally reported: 60,000 – 70,000.
7. And yet here you are, repeating the 2,000,000 lie again. Which means that the real intention of the lie, to put it in the ear of wingnut lie-repeaters, was accomplished. You know it’s false. Heck, you probably already knew it was false before you showed up here. But just like Matt Kibbe, you don’t really care about what’s true. You just want to make your side look good, and you’re willing to sacrifice any fact to do it.

September 22nd, 2009 at 11:37 pmCan it be possible that our friend PeePee just committed the most obvious self-pwn pratfall ever witnessed in post 153?
Does PeePee really not understand that, in order to have a “choice” between a government-run health care insurance option and private coverage, the government-run health care insurance option must EXIST?
And that, therefore, by this unnamed and unlinked-to poll that our friend PeePee cites, more than three out of four Americans must acknowledge the need for a government-run health care insurance option?
Is it possible that PeePee so fundamentally mis-read the poll? Or did PeePee dishonestly present the poll’s findings or simply mis-type his comment? Or does PeePee not know what “minority” means?
The answer to these and other questions may be revealed, if PeePee can ever be coaxed into linking to this unnamed poll.
September 22nd, 2009 at 11:38 pmPat Pomery says:
More than three out of every four Americans feel it is important to have a “choice” between a government-run health care insurance option and private coverage, according to a public opinion poll released on Thursday.
What’s it like being ion the minority, progressives?
I’ll admit that I’m definitely in a minority who believes that single-payer health insurance would be the best option. But I’m willing to settle for the public option if that’s what most Americans want, as the article you’re quoting demonstrates. Are you?
BTW, here’s your citation. You’re welcome.

September 22nd, 2009 at 11:46 pmIt’s possible,m but given the evidence available, not very likely.
What evidence do you have that the President (presuming this is who you meant by “your boy” — no racism there, eh?) “has been pushing for a full on gov’t takeover”?
Can you point to a single statement from the President since this debate began that indicates such a radical push?
It’s amusing how you seem willing to adopt the more left-wing Democratic position (public option) as your own, simply because your trollmasters have lied to you about how “radical” the President is.

When one reaches this level of delusion, one only knows that one is angry and it’s, somehow, the fault of the “libruls”. He’s so pissed off, and so invested in his anger, that any facts that contradict his preconception become non-facts.
Oddly enough it appears that this is an effect of the very same overly emotional worldview they accuse “libruls” of. They can’t process facts because they don’t Believe in facts. Only emotion. And their version of “fact” isn’t based on objective reality. Their “facts” are based on crippled emotions and are subject to “laws” that only exist in their heads.

As you know. I myself enjoy slapping the stupid out of trolls
September 23rd, 2009 at 3:45 am“Pushing back” is a microcosm of recent American history.
We can regard the Republican Revolution (RIP) has a great foisting of right-wingery on a basically progressive nation.
Quick proof that America is a progressive country: we have Social Security.
C’mon, guys. No center-right nation would have Social Security. A child could figure this, even if poll after poll didn’t show that Americans are liberal down to their toenails.
When you conceive of the Republican Revolution as a great foisting of right-wing ideas onto a liberal populace, everything falls into place. Both our government and our media are light-years to the right of the populace, which helps to explain the unbelievable creepiness of trying to live in the U.S.A.
Such an unnatural set-up can only work in the short run–just as the tea parties and townhall disruptions worked for a while. We have lived in a right-wing world for some years now–as money hemorrhaged out of the country and we gradually fell behind the rest of the civilized world.
The worst thing that can happen to conservatives is to get into power. When we got a REALLY right-wing Administration-with a Congress to match–the whole house of cards came tumbling down.
The right are very good at rigging systems and making a lot of noise–and they have achieved many Pyrrhic victories in this way. But it’s all been a fraud, and the people are pushing back.
PS: Here’s me feeling Sad About the Young.
September 23rd, 2009 at 5:46 amSlapping the crap out of the right wing trolls has got to be one of the most satisfying things an American can do! We all should be doing it..online, in our lives, at every town hall meeting.
September 23rd, 2009 at 7:22 amIt is the new great American pastime.
September 23rd, 2009 at 7:39 amSure is, Shayne! :-)

September 23rd, 2009 at 12:28 pmhey chumply, i’m one of the 10 million folks who have lost their jobs, including health insurance! i couldn’t afford to pay $575/month for COBRA, and i have pre-existing conditions that preclude me from purchasing affordable health care insurance. so now i’m one of some 30+million without access to affordable health care. i’m barely hanging on to my house, it’s just a matter of time. . .
you and your rightwingnut ilk make me sick! better knock on wood that you still have your job and insurance because bubba, you never know when it’ll be taken from you. in your case, i hope it’s real soon you effn scumbag. you are what’s wrong with America!
