The Tucson area Tea Party Coalition held a townhall healthcare meeting at Rincon High School in Tucson on Friday (August 28th). Over 1,000 people showed up at the event … including one violent counter-protester.
The ObamaCare supporter loudly interrupted the meeting immediately after a TPD officer thanked the group for always being civil and law-abiding at their events. The event protester shouted over our panelists incessantly and, when approached, hit one of the attendees in the face with his elbow. The man who was assaulted kept his cool and TPD promptly removed the protester from the auditorium.
Two local TV stations covered the town hall event, KOLD13 and KGUN9. The following video clip is from KGUN9.
Interestingly, the DNC released a national TV ad on August 4th denigrating those who don’t support ObamaCare as an “angry mob”. As usual, the far-left liberals attack the messengers instead of debating the issues.
Clearly, Obama has been rallying the hostilities of his followers for some time. Back on the campaign trail in June 2008 in Philadelphia, he urged countering Republican debates by proclaiming “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” This is the city where five months later Black Panthers patrolled a voting station brandishing weapons. Attorney General Eric Holder ultimately dismissed all charges for their threatened violence.
Then, again on the campaign trail in September 2008, Obama urged his followers to “argue with neighbors and get in their face.”
It should surprise no one that, although the mainstream media completely ignores the ordeals, it is ObamaCare supporters who typically become violent protesters at tea party rallies and town hall events. Meanwhile, the peaceful but sometimes vocal opponents to the costly government take-over of our health care system are labeled as the “angry mob”.
