More lies. As you can see from the other videos posted, this was an organized protest from a group of radical lefties that were hell bent on interrupting a private speaking event.
A group of seniors with concerns is an organized protest?

Group of seniors, eh? Nice try. The protest videos show people that are middle aged, and one of the African-American protestors looks pretty young to me.

Shouldn't it be mandatory of our politicians to address our concerns as the people that pay their salary and put them into positions of power in which our future well-being rests?
All this I ask without concern for party or political ideology. Can we not agree as people that our politicians should have their feet held to the fire?

I guess this sets the tone for what we should expect. Are we really surprised? The old man didn't exactly use tact by expressing his view, but I can understand the frustration he is feeling to watch everything you work for get pissed away and they don't care. They (both sides) just don't care about anything other than staying in control.
He was not aggressive, just loud, Paul could have done a bang up job at resolving the situation by actually communicating with the man and listening to him, but no, let us make an old joke at his expense.edit on 12-8-2012 by pointr97 because: (no reason given)

No? But you will vote for some other "Rich Clowns", who act in equally despicable ways?
You seem to think that your vote really makes a difference. How amusing!

This wasn't a public Town Hall meeting. This was a private event interrupted and disrupted

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
Yes, it was a prearranged, orchestrated disruption of a meeting. Shockingly, the invited speaker and hosts were not amused.
As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

Although Ryan tried to play it off with some off the cuff observations that weren't appreciated by the "free speech" squad.

Well you may not have printed the entire article, but I still read it anyway.
Good for you.
Your politics is so extreme to one side - - - there is no objectivity.
I am at least middle-of-the-road fiscally (socially liberal)

So he had the power base behind him already? Interesting, seems like he may have been 'tagged' long ago and knew the course he was headed. Everything he has represented and done then has been staged. I am clear on that base don your post.
