“Tell the truth! Tell the truth!”
“Read the bill!”
“Forty-million illegals! Forty million illegals!”
(St. Petersburg Times) – The spectacle at the Children’s Board in Ybor City sounded more like a wrestling cage match than a panel discussion on national policy, and it was just the latest example of a health care meeting disrupted by livid protesters. Similar scenes are likely to be repeated across the country as lawmakers head to their home districts for the summer recess.
Thursday’s forum/near riot was sponsored by state Rep. Betty Reed, D-Tampa, and the Service Employees International Union, who apparently had hoped to hold something of a pep rally for President Barack Obama’s health care reform proposal.
Instead, hundreds of vocal critics turned out, many of them saying they had been spurred on through the Tampa 912 activist group promoted by conservative radio and television personality Glenn Beck. Others had received e-mails from the Hillsborough Republican Party that urged people to speak out against the plan and offered talking points.
YouTube videos filmed from the hall with disruptors.
(TampaBay.com) – Pity the many Tampa Bay TV, radio and print radio reporters who showed up to cover a nuanced discussion of health care reform options at a town hall meeting headlined by state Rep. Betty Reed and U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor. Instead they had to make do with covering total mayhem, as hundreds of protesters turned the event into a near riot.
(The Tamba Tribune) – Castor tried to speak for nearly 15 minutes but the crowd drowned her out, chanting, “You work for us,” “Tyranny, tyranny,” and “Read the bill.”
After trying to speak, Castor left at about 6:40 p.m., taking jeers as she left.
“They’re hiding from their constituents. She works for us and needs to listen,” said Karen Jaroch, a Tampa homemaker and organizer for the 9-12 Project, set up by TV commentator Glenn Beck, which had recruited its members to attend.
In a news conference prior to the town hall, Castor had said, “I do expect some rabble-rousing.” She said the protesters who have been appearing at town hall forums on health care “would have been protesting Medicare … they would never have accepted Social Security.”
Reed said she was shocked by the number of people who turned out and some of their reactions. “When you get to the point of possible violence, you’ve gone over the edge,” she said.

The 912 project refers to 12 september 2001, the day Americans and allies came together and opposition was silenced. An era of Der Führer was introduced and America went to war in Afghanistan and primarily in Iraq. The 912 project wasn’t started on that date, it was conceived on February 7, 2009 to offer SA opposition to a newly elected president Obama.

"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence.".
… the antiwar-T-shirt-clad mother of a slain soldier was pulled out of a Laura Bush speech in New Jersey and threatened with arrest. A West Virginia couple was detained by the Secret Service for wearing anti-Bush T-shirts at a July 4 rally–they filed a lawsuit last week–and AIDS activists were removed and kept away from reporters at a Sept. 9 presidential event in Pennsylvania. Most notably, some 1,800 protesters, monitors, and passersby were jailed in indiscriminate raids during the Republican Convention in New York, while several hecklers were dragged off the Madison Square Garden convention floor. All were arrested or threatened with arrest, and hundreds expect to stand trial.

(The Hill) – The black-and-white fax portrays Obama as the Joker in makeup similar to that worn by actor Heath Ledger in his portrayal of the Joker in last summer’s “The Dark Knight.”
On Obama’s forehead is a communist hammer-and-sickle insignia, and beneath the image is the text: “Death to All Marxists! Foreign and Domestic!“
Rep. Brian Baird (D-Wash.) received the fax and passed it along to U.S. Capitol Police.
The Secret Service investigates threats made against the president. Ed Donovan, of Secret Service Public Affairs, said that the fax was “potentially an investigative intelligence matter.”

Bob MacGuffie published this document and raises support through his website RightPrinciples.com. Easy attack through use of terms socialism, mao, kruschev and communism. Scare tactics to get the American citizens active in their support against “big” government.

Kenneth Gladney did not address Saturday’s crowd of about 200 people. His attorney, David Brown, however, read a prepared statement Gladney wrote. “A few nights ago there was an assault on my liberty, and on yours, too.” Brown read. “This should never happen in this country.”
Supporters cheered. Brown finished by telling the crowd that Gladney is accepting donations toward his medical expenses. Gladney told reporters he was recently laid off and has no health insurance.

Hoffman raises the delicate subject of hecklers. By requiring tickets, the event will be private; they can remove anyone who is disruptive. The campaign prohibits people from bringing signs, even pro-Bush ones, because demonstrators have been known to conceal anti-Bush ones behind them.
Instead, people will be given signs that are supposed to look homemade, painted by campaign volunteers. The messages include: “WOMEN FEEL SAFE WITH BUSH,” “Babes for Bush” and “Jenna Will You Marry Me?”
The organizers are secretive about how they deal with demonstrators, but both parties use a tried-and-true approach: Volunteers sprinkled in the crowd watch for hecklers. Any protester is quickly surrounded, blanketed with campaign signs and drowned out with a chant (“Four more years!”).
The campaign tightly controls tickets for people sitting near the president, so there’s little chance a protester can mar the Shot.
