‘Heckler’ Security Issue at Ryan Town Halls

‘Heckler’ Security Issue at Ryan Town Halls

By Tom Murray

KENOSHA – Protesters waited for Congressman Paul Ryan outside a listening session at Gateway Technical College in Kenosha, many of them were seniors holding preprinted signs that read ‘Hands Off My Medicare.’

They chanted, “Ryan stop lying!”

<...>

“Do not renew the Bush tax credit for the wealthy,” one man said during the public comment period, even giving out his phone number in front of everyone. “I’ll debate these issues with you anytime, just call me.”

<...>

TODAY’S TMJ4 set up an interview with Ryan following the meeting, but it was scrapped by staffers and police over a security concern. The congressman changed the door where he planned to exit and left in a different vehicle than the one than he arrived in.

1. Do you think Ryan actually believed people would "roll over"
and accept his glorious plans? He's dumber than I thought.

2. Republicans decided to go for broke and thought the
timing was right. Every anti-government asshole was counting on a Paul Ryan/Ayn Rand coup!

"Atlas Shrugged" goes down in flames; producer blames media -- of course!

3. But it's ok for the teabaggers to raise hell at town halls
on healthcare reform.
