Hecklers confront Ted Cruz at town hall meeting

[onehandle]

A Dallas town hall meeting designed to rally support for defunding President Obama’s health-care law grew testy Tuesday night when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) was interrupted three separate times by hecklers.

The conservative senator handled each interruption calmly, asking that he be allowed to finish his remarks. “You have health care, we should too!” chanted a pair protesters near the end of Cruz’s remarks.

Cruz responded, “Thank you for sharing your views. You know, part of the First Amendment is about respecting others.” Pro-Cruz attendees then drowned the protesters out with chants of “USA! USA!”

1. As Alan Grayson

said, gopers want YOU to "die quickly if you get sick" (not actual quote).

2. He's Canadian alright!

There is nothing about respect in the First Amendment!

13. He is a Canadian and if he moved back to Calgary, his place of BIRTH, he would be eligible for

for Alberta Health care at a cost to his family of four of $0 per year. That's right no health insurance premiums in Alberta.

Any photo shoppers?

24/7 along with being heckled for his idiot stances.

10. I'll raise your "O Canada" with the following:

11. Excellent I love it!

14. Outstanding link! Reading it would send Cruz into a blind rage he would never overcome.

They'd have to call for the men in white coats.

How dare those Cubans create health, healing for the masses, none of whom are even Republicans.

15. Thanks.

The thought that hit my brain was how the Cubans handle their medical care and the article came up in a quick search. It's amazing to think how the profit-drive American health care system with overpriced diagnostics, gadgets and medications actually can cause more harm than good to the patient.

Yes, Cruz would crap his pants if he were to read the article.

7. Did Ted Cruz, the Canadian, get the kind of healthcare he now scorns?

When U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, a freshman from Texas, released his Canadian birth certificate over the weekend, it became clear the great Cuban-American hope of the tea party for 2016 is a Canadian citizen.

And, of course, he is also an American citizen, because he was born to an American citizen in Canada.

Quite without realizing it, apparently, the location of Cruz's birth automatically made him a citizen of our socialist (in healthcare, at least) neighbor to the north. Did his mother receive excellent free medical care under Canada’s single-payer healthcare system when her baby was born in Calgary, Alberta, in 1970? Did little Ted, who moved back to the United States with his Cuban-born father and American-born mother when he was 4, get free vaccinations and pediatric care from his Canadian doctors?

We’ll probably never know.

8. Probably did - Zorro

9. I stole your picture. . .

12. Isn't Cruz really Cuban?

[Mike Daniels]

16. Pro-Cruz attendees then drowned the protesters out with chants of “USA! USA!” -

Morons. They can't address the point of Cruz having tax payers paying for his health care (neither could he for that matter) so they break into a mindless chant

[mainer]

17. That mindless chant is chilling

What does that mean to them, anyway? "USA! USA!" ?

It's like a bunch of robots yelling "Kill, kill, kill!"
