This is totally unexceptable. When those with legitimate questions are told to shut up or else in their own homes...and are threatened in their own homes... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX4xpH2KEgg And even Democrats are distancing themselves from Obama's 'change'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmWB-N8ulA4

This is Chicago politics at it's finest. If someone dares to disagree with you just beat them up and shut them up. Leadership through force.

I lived in Chicago for most of my life...it was the running joke, how Daley Sr. got things done. His son was not any different. This is not leadership...it's criminal.

This is how Fascism works. When you look at the things we do know about 0bama... his past and present associates, his donors and supporters, ACORN, Soros, and the rest... we can see a clear picture as to what 0bama represents, and what his agenda is. He is a traitor to his office, and to the American people.

I agree with you Destiny...the need to get others to see this is urgent.

Deb, There's been so much misinformation thrown into this debate that nothing is absolutely believable any more! Was anyone arrested? No. Police couldn't find anything wrong with the circumstances of the conversation except, maybe, for its timing. The sensationalism for which Fox News is so well known casts its own doubts, as well.

WHY does someone have to be arrested before it's believed? I live in the REAL world, where things are not always wound up and settled in an hour. I can tell you from experience that many crimes go unsolved for YEARS, if the police DON'T want to solve them.

That's absolutely true. We can not trust the media quite fully. We can not assume that, if nobody's been arrested that it's an unsolved crime, however. They do know, according to several media, exactly who and what was involved, and they couldn't find charges to make a case.

Thanks for posting this Debi. This what America has come to. The question is, are the people who are running this country " Acting like Americans" ? I think not. And it's time to do something about it. How dare they acuse hard working Americans who don't agree of being " Anti- American ". We all like have to stand up in this manner & now is the time. As far as the gentleman having to telling exactly what the threat is, he is probably in the middle of legal and/or protective action & was probably advised not to disclose this information for his own protection. Other protesters may have experienced the same thing. I believe that this happened and it will all come out in the woodwork. It is not everyone's privilege or business to be provided " proof". He is dealing with the government, not the neighborhood bullies and has to be careful.

I like how you put that. Not everyone's privilege to be provided proof. The man went on TV and he filed a police report. I can't help but think that those who are in the habit of lying or exagerating expect others to do so. If you'd saw the demeanor of this man...you'd believe him. And it is human nature as well, on the part of the Obama White House, to make the opposition look crazy, accuse them of disrupting, call them liars and unAmerican, etc....all the while doing the very things you are accusing the people of. THAT is Chicago politics at it's worst. Smokescreen....deflect suspicion from YOUR illegal activities. When will people see this man is a narcissist, and see past the glamour and the novelty?

I feel for the man who was excorted out and told to shut up and sit down. He had a legitiment question. These are the type of questions that the Obama team don't want to answer. Not only are the elderly and handicapped not going to get any help with this new health care proposal but private health care will become a thing of the past. There is a clause in the proposal that states if an individual loses his/her health care it will be illegal for them to obtain another privite policy. So when Obama said he wasn't trying to run the private industry out of business he was infact lying. We are becoming a socialist society and quicker than I feared it would be. When Obama kept saying "Change" in his campaign well guess this is what he meant by that.

I just keep thinking...be careful what you wish for. You just may get it.

Of course those who make lots of money just go get what they need regardless of what the government will or will not pay for. Does anyone realize that those who have written this bill...will not be required to use the new healthcare. Those of us who can not afford insurance NOW...will be taxed to pay for this...and HAVE to use it regardless of our choice to opt out. I think that is what galls me the most...Obama was asked if he'd sign on for this...and he refused to answer. Congress won't be told they have to use it either. Just us poor folks who grew up thinking we had rights in our own country.
