The woman kicking ass at the McCain town hall is Shirley McAllister
Edited on Tue Aug-25-09 02:39 PM by Hello_Kitty
She's friend of mine and she is pwning him and asking how many in the audience (it's being held in a retirement community) want to give up their Medicare and why, if Medicare is so good, they are so opposed to government health care.

Most of the audience is morans though. And I notice that the teabag mob is being very polite and not shouting McCain down.


Edit for misspelled name.

3. She was terrific!


She referred to McCaine incorrectly as "Sen. Kennedy", laughed at her mistake and said, "I promoted you!"

11. AWESOME!!
we only need about 10-20 more of her at each town hall, that actually make it on TV, as opposed to every tom, dick, and yokel that makes it on air screaming about wanting their country back.

that would be supremely awesome.

13. Tameron(sp?) Hall just mentioned her - not by name. Can you twitter/email MSNBC
and give them her name?

16. The Only Problem I see
is that we don't have 24/7/365 Talk Radio to bring her message to the masses.

Hell, the other day, some "diabled" ex-Marine, who was NOT disabled due to combat, and spent about the equivalent of a "cup of coffee" in the Marines, was the "New Messiah" of Faux News and Hate Radio, because he got up at a Town Hall in Washington state and railed about "socialism".

How they get their heads around the fact that:

a. His medical care was completely provided VIA A SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM

and

b. HE'S COVERED BY THE SINGLE PAYER VA SYSTEM

and

c. He gets full-college tuition PROVIDED BY A SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM

.....:wtf:

It is just effing total madness!!!!!!!!

27. You talking about the 87 year old who got applause for being married 63 years?
I'd love to know what the man did for a living- hopefully not anything to do with public safety or otherwise requiring a great deal of precise thinking.
