Video: Montana Town Hall - President Obama takes question from skeptical conservative and NRA member

At President Obama's town hall meeting in Belgrade, Montana, Obama takes a question from Randy, a "proud NRA member" who says he gets his news from "cable networks", to which Obama says, "be careful". Skeptical about who will foot the bill for health care reform, Randy asks the President how he doesn't expect to raise taxes on the middle class.

Obama says: "You're absolutely right that I can't cover 46 million people for free... We're going to have to find money from somewhere." But he stood by his promise that the middle class would not see their taxes raised. And he also explained why some of this is the problem of the Bush administration.

Video: Brits defend their health care system, NHS

Brits, tired of having their beloved healthcare system slammed by Republicans in the United States answer back to the false accusations and misinformation about their system. One British woman fighting to reform England's NHS, who was used in Republican ads to criticize "Socialized medicine" says she was "duped" into being "used" in U.S. ads condemning the British healthcare system (which she supports).

Oh Those Outrageous Health Care Reformers

I know this video is making a point through humor, but at the same time it is hard to tell how low the opposition to reform will go to scare the bejesus out of people. It also occurs to me that most of the people who are our representatives are actually ordinary people like you and me who have run for office for some reason that is beyond me.

The legislation that they pass will actually apply to their own families, their friends, their acquaintances, those that work for them, those they know and love. They are human beings after all. Yes, even the Democrats are human beings, although lately I'm not entirely sure about that with respect to the Republicans.

The scare tactics, the lies, the distortions have been used to manipulate us before. Many of us believed a number of members of the Republican party when they were in power, trusted that they were being truthful with us, giving us reliable and factual information in order to determine whether we support what they think is the right course of action.

Think Iraq!

It's kind of like that expression, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, except that if it sounds too outrageous to believe, then it probably is just that.

New Hampshire Town Hall: The Man in the Middle

Peon on 'The Town Hall Shout Downers'

OK. Here's what I think. I don't think the 'Shout Downers' are Un-American. They have every right to come into the town hall meeting and holler and shout and disrupt, and they also have every right to get arrested for not ceasing their shouting down. Hold on now. Give me a minute to explain.

If you ever watch the teevee machine and see people of the Lefty persuasion come before congress or other policy or political meetings, their intention is to disrupt and they usually pick some opportune point in which to start chanting or shouting out something. Shortly thereafter, security is called and those people are either removed peacefully or forcefully, and sometimes they are carted off to jail.

Sometimes they have sat down in the street or laid down in front a recking ball to stop a demolition. These are disruptive too, but they are not Un-American.

That is protest. These folks at the town halls have every right to protest in this way. They also have the right to go to jail if they do not stop when requested to do so. For some reason though, I have not noticed that any of them are being carted off to jail.

You may hear some of these folks who are participating at town halls, asking questions critical of the policies that President Obama and many in Congress are pursuing and negotiating with respect to health care. They are outraged that they are being negatively attacked by Nancy Pelosi, the media, or any number of others, but those questioners are NOT the ones being criticised at all.

It is 'The Shout Downers', the town hall disruptors who are receiving negative criticism or attacks or whatever you want to call it.

Forceful protest is not Un-American, but it does and should come with some consequence when it comes from the Right, as it does when it comes from the Left.

Don't get me wrong though. I am for health care reform, and I am for a public option. I am also for the right to peaceful, non-violent protest, even it is disruptive, and even if I don't agree with it. I do wish they would stop, but they definitely have the right to do it and so do people on the Left.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Stephen Hawking on Nationalized Health Care
