Arlene Specter Town Hall Meeting

Posted by Greg L on August 12, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Another video on the town hall meeting protesters. They interviewed the guy who confronted Arlene Specter yesterday at a town hall meeting in Lebanon PA. This is really sad and the saddest part is that the far right wing is making cannon fodder out of souls like this to support their objective of just simply wreaking havoc. I say and say again, that this effort supported by the likes of Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and the insurance companies borders on being subversive. Please note that I disagree with the characterization of Specter as being a scumbag as shown in the video’s title.

“If we remain poor and dependent, the riches of other men will not avail us. If we are ignorant, the intelligence of other men will do but little for us. If we are foolish, the wisdom of other men will not guide us. If we are wasteful of time and money, the economy of other men will only make our destitution the more disgraceful and hurtful. “
Frederick Douglass
“If you form the habit of going by what you hear others say about someone, or going by what others think about someone, instead of searching that thing out for yourself and seeing for yourself, you will be walking west when you think you’re going east, and you will be walking east when you think you’re going west. This generation, especially of our people, has a burden, more so than any other time in history. The most important thing we can learn to do today is think for ourselves.”
Malcolm X
