If you can even call it a town hall when you had to pay get in, and all the questions thrown at DeMint were kiss-ass questions. Plus the only protester who was allowed to ask a question was thrown out. Not only that, the local media completely marginalized the protest and only took shots of a few people that were there, and the comments they chose to post were basically all snide remarks. And these people are considered the local "liberal" media.

1. "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness"
Someone needs to go to one of DeMented's townhalls with a big poster of that commandment.

These idiots call themselves Christians. Hah!

3. Town Hall may ass
Pay to get in = fund raiser billed as town hall for media spin.

Pay to get in limits who will attend. Only those who want to donate to a candidate will attend.
