This is why town halls need to be in CBC strongholds
Edited on Wed Aug-12-09 10:50 PM by angee_is_mad
I made a post a couple of days ago about dems teaming with CBC members and holding town halls in the CBC members district.

This was the first town hall in NC with Congressman Butterfield. Of course there were boos and shouts but the opposition didn't show their asses like they been doing.

Larry Herwig, an opponent, said there would have more opponents except that it was a Democratic neighborhood.

"The deck has been stacked because of the locale," he said.

When larry mentions democratic neighborhood and you know he really means BLACK. Oh and don't fixate on the poll. President Barack Hussein Obama will win NC again in 2012.

1. Good idea. Let's expose the racist stripes of these townhall terrorists.

2. They will be intimidated or too scared
to go into a predominately black community. If they show up there will not be a youtube or tv episode. Which is what they want and they are being successful in this.

3. I love it! If not in CBC strongholds, have Town Halls in the projects, in the ghetto, the hood.
Understanding that often the CBC strongholds ARE the projects, ghettos, etc.

8. These senators should hold their town halls in the inner cities
Claire should've done her town hall down in inner city St. Louis. I betcha no one would've been ripping up Rosa Parks poster then!

9. Its a no brainer
There will still be some shouting and boos, but nothing like the circus that has been appearing on MSM. You definitely will not see any swastikas and death to Obama posters.
