Talk show host Nicole Sandler arrested at tea party Rep’s town hall

[Playinghardball]

Source: Raw Story

At a town hall meeting last night in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., staged by Rep. Allen West (R-FL), liberal talk show host Nicole Sandler was taken out of the event hall and arrested on camera.

She was initially just being removed from the hall, but Sandler shouted at the officer to take his hands off of her as they were escorting her out, likely providing a trigger for the arrest. Confronted by Sandler's boyfriend, the officer did not say why he was arresting her.

Similar to other recent Republican town hall meetings, this event was loud and angry, with numerous hecklers hammering Rep. West on his vote to cut Medicare.

One man who repeatedly disrupted the event kept asking why West had nearly appointed as his chief of staff a fringe conservative who once advocated "bullets" as a political solution if votes didn't accomplish their goals.

Chrck out the video...

1. Isn't she the one..

who subs for Randi Rhoade...

[the_chinuk]

20. Correct. She's Randi's regular sub host …

… and she has regular internet broadcasts at RadioOrNot.com. I like her. She's like a version of Randi the delicate can handle.

2. So tough guy

and disgraced military asshole Allen West can't handle questions from girls huh? I guess she's one o' them male neutering females that he's so frightened of.

What a pathetic and unfortunately expected display of gutlessness from the one term wonder.

3. assholes!

4. West seems to think that..

he is talking to his troops and everyone will go along with his shit,just because he was in the military.

18. She interrupted his self-serving filibuster.

:sarcasm:

[fascisthunter]

5. control freak=wimp

6. Isn't this about what Miller did in Alaska

that caused him so much blow-back? Having a member of the press arrested at his townhall, exposed him as a tyrant. Maybe it'll do the same for West? Although the press isn't making a bid deal outta this, like they did with Miller.

7. Get ready for more and more arrests...

Arresting those who question them, will become more frequent...it's a good way to keep the masses in control.

Of course there is another alternative for the RushThugs and T.HaterBaggers...they will run off to the Cheney Bunker and then issue statements, without anyone being present at their "meetings".

Vote America...VOTE them OUT.

8. I was worried about this happening

When she subbed for Randi yesterday, she said she'd be at this meeting. I had a feeling she might get harassed, but I didn't think it would go down like this. These pigs were fucking ridiculous here. Since when do you get arrested without knowing what you're allegedly doing wrong. I hope she sues the shit out of West and the piglets and makes a fortune out of it.

13. It says she was arrested for tresspassing on private

property. How is it even possible to trespass at a town hall meeting?

[EFerrari]

21. It was held on private property. But, she was arrested AFTER

she started to leave.

[proud patriot]

9. she was talking about going to the townhall meeting

She's been encouraging we all go to our representive's townhall meetings. It's our time to Question Our Reps.

[No Elephants]

10. Removed from a town hall? She had to have attacked someone physically.

:sarcasm:

[louslobbs]

11. Where were all the removals of the loud mouth mob of Pubes during the healthcare debacle sponsored

by the Koch brothers and their Americans for prosperity? When the teabaggers were openly carrying firearms at political gatherings? Why is it that a liberal woman trying to express her upset with the lunatic West, gets removed and the pubes never seem to get touched?

12. That's the $64,000 question, isn't it?

:banghead:

[louslobbs]

15. Yeah, I mean why the double standard? 100,000 march in Wisconsin, little press, 200 baggers gather

and 24/7 coverage. There sure is media bias and other biases as well, but they don't come from our side. Liberal media bias.......lol......give me a break. Corporate, FOX/GOP, millionaire, billionaire media bias, now we're talking. I've been doing that banging head thing since the Supreme Court picked their President in 2000 to sit in the oval office. Bush(one of the biggest idiots on Earth) and his cohorts Chaney and Rove, forced this country to live with 8 destructive years, and it looks like there is no recovery in sight.

This is a fascist state, after all.

[ellenfl]

24. That torturing son of a bitch should be in fucking

Leavenworth. A disgrace to the uniform. Should have been given a Court Martial instead of an Article 15. The UCMJ needs to be thrown out if this is the result. Retired with pension, bullshit.
