[GivePeaceAchance]

[peace13]

7. Hat's off to Rep. Larsen.

We need more Rep.'s with his skill and caring. Well worth the six minutes!

[Ohio Democrat]

8. LOL

Well put Congressmen :)

[mdmc]

39. Welcome to DU bro!

[greenman3610]

9. trolls hate it when you call them out as Glenn Beck fans

some where in their dim minds, they know that's bad.

[SweepPicker]

10. Good One!

I will have fun posting this on a local forum and watch the wing nuts show their true colors.

[Barrymores Ghost]

11. Rick makes us proud to be Washingtonians! K&R n/t

[raystorm7]

12. That felt good :)

[FLAprogressive]

13. Make sure everyone rates this 5 stars because Mox has a lot of idiot Ron Paul fans

[niceypoo]

14. Why are the 'grassroots' republicans always reading from a piece of paper?

Spontaneous?

[DFW]

32. They've been doing that since the McCarthy era

Feb. 9, 1950: "I have here in my hand a list of 205—a list of names that were made known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping policy in the State Department."

They've been doing versions of that one ever since. This was just the latest version.

[NewJeffCT]

36. so they can photocopy one fax and hand it out

at every friggin' town hall out there.

[florida08]

15. sweet

Article 1 Section 8..nicely done Jason and Congressman

[Baltoman991]

16. Right off the

bat she proves she drinks the koolaid of Beck, Limpballs and Hannity.

People are being forced to accept a new health insurance plan? No, not really sweet lady. But then you don't really pay attention as don't the others of your ilk.

It's real simple, you like your insurance, you can keep it. Period, end of story.

[ihavenobias]

17. # 37. BTW, to enjoy the quote without watching the whole thing: 2:47m-3:20m. n/t

[Uncle Joe]

18. This is the first time, I've seen MOX News, I respect their honest disclosure.

I also liked that gentleman in the audience reminding everyone about the Preamble to the Constitution "To provide for the general welfare" I believe that is the best argument against that bull shit "socialism" frame.

Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Turborama.

:thumbsup:

[orleans]

47. actually, it's "promote the general Welfare"

but i so agree w/your point

http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html

[Uncle Joe]

55. Thanks for your correction, orleans.

I guess it was getting late in the day when I made that post.:blush:

Peace to you.:hi:

[pfitz59]

20. cool

k & r

[Wetzelbill]

21. I just used that line on somebody, lol

funny.

[MellowDem]

22. Something tells me he'll be attacked...

The old lady, while duly misinformed, wasn't being rude or anything. It'll be spun as him making fun of an old lady and laughing at her expense I'm sure by certain news networks.

[ClayZ]

23. We were there! You should have seen the Pre-Show Rally!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=6291492&mesg_id=6291492

[knixphan]

24. done!

[quiet.american]

25. Excellent! (The woman asking the question was just sooo sure she was sooo smart). nt

[PatSeg]

26. He did a great job

I went to YouTube and rated it.

[JayMusgrove]

29. So did I !

That guy is great. The woman has no idea what she is talking about.

And for sure she's old enough for Medicare.

[PatSeg]

30. At least she was respectful,

just misinformed, which is why town hall meetings can be a good thing if they're not hijacked by extremists.

[JayMusgrove]

41. Mis-informed people need a brain transplant..........sorry, but old

Medicare people.......they should be told at the door, that this forum is NOT about them!

Screw their freedom of speech.....kick them out at the door.....no vote, no voice..old people should just DIE...Sarah Palin told us all about how this will happen under Obama care.


Do I actually need to post a sarcasm icon here?

[JBoy]

27. Loved hearing some guy laugh and hoot at 3:20, after Larsen drops the Beck bomb.

[Xicano]

28. I say let folks like this have what they want

If they don't want socialism. Lets let them have it their way. They can have all the privatization they want. However, they won't get to use our socialized public highways, police services, fire department services, etc.

I say we allow them to put up or shut up..


;)

[Piewhacket]

31. Down with wingguttery! Kudos to Rep Larsen. Hey! K&R

[geckosfeet]

33. Ahh. A good christain woman. I am NOT my brothers keeper. I got mine. Screw them.

[valerief]

34. kick

:kick:

[maxsolomon]

35. Didn't Beck grow up in Larsen's district?

I think he's from Mt. Vernon, WA.

[freeplessinseattle]

43. seriously? well, not that surprising

but Skagit cos. become a little less RW dominated in recent years, it seems. Despite their location it seems so isolated, especially Sedro-Wooley and Concrete.

[ribrepin]

52. Yeah...Beck was born and raised in Larson's district

Born in Mount Vernon and graduated high school up near the canadian border in Bellingham. Then he left the area. Washington is full of home-grown nuts.

[RobertSeattle]

37. I think Rick just earned a donation from me for the next election

Zing!

[CherylK]

38. K & R!!!

:yourock:

[jeff30997]

40. K & R!

Also voted on Youtube.

[keitai]

42. Actually, I think the old lady was quite polite..

amazingly misinformed but polite.

[BradXXX]

44. Love it! n/t

[George II]

45. " I've Got Facts On My Side & You've Got Glenn Beck On Yours"...

That has GOT to be the political quote of the decade!!! Great job Larsen!

[Roland99]

46. Wonder where she got her "facts" on the breakdown of the 46 million uninsured

Also nice to know she doesn't give a shit about people uninsured because they're currently unemployed/between jobs.

Gotta love that compassionate conservatism!

[NBachers]

48. I rated it up. Here's my YouTube reply:

I was born in this country.

Hey- I've worked hard all my life and couldn't afford health insurance. I lost one eye due to glaucoma I couldn't get cared for.

Republicans want to deny me health care so I lose the other eye and become completely blind.

Thanks a lot, you phony America-hating Republicans. You despise your fellow countrymen, don't you?

But you sure love your corporate slave masters, don't you? You like to deceive yourselves that some day, you can be just like them.

[Enthusiast]

54. That was a good reply.

I hope some of the wing-nuttiest read it and understood they could end up in your shoes.
