7. Busted! Speechless!

It's almost like his mind got suddenly frozen inside, like ZZZITCH_LOCK!

Woops? They want an answer... what to do.... what to do.... if I tell them the truth, my billionnaire donors will not be happy...

ARRRG! ZZZITCH_UNLOCK

"I...uh... I... I'll give you an answer... ZZZZITCH_LOCK!

8. Wow...a real "I'll get back to ya" moment

...he really thought he could change the subject and a "next question"?!

Great question, great crowd.

[SharksBreath]

9. That should be the question asked to every Republican.

It should also be a commercial.

11. I remember a video of Chris Matthews and Republican Todd Harris from last year where Matthews asks

Harris, Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy1gM-FWjD0 at 6:38, what have the Republicans done for the American people in the last 10-15 years? Harris avoids answering the question and babbles on about anything but the answer to the question. Then at 10:12, Matthews asks again, this time using the time frame 10-20 years, name one good thing the Republicans have done "for" the American people? Harris answers, that he will answer the question at a later date in a book he will write, but wants to stay focused on 2010. Republicans have done nothing but screw the American people in favor of doing the bidding of the corporations, the wealthy and themselves. Republicans stammer, stall, look confused and then try to avoid answering these types of questions because the truth is quite ugly about what they have done "to" America, rather than what they have done "for" the top 2% of it. The Bush/Obama tax cuts have done nothing but cost the average American tax payers money and cuts to "earned" benefits and others, to further enrich the corporations and the wealthy.

16. The only way to defeat evil is to confront it head-on...

Certainly we all have now learned that cowering in a corner, tucked in the fetal position, sucking our collective thumbs while envisioning our "happy place" ain't going to beat well-financed astro-turfers withh full 24/7 Faux News support.

Stand up and kick these POS right in the ass. If we play nice in 2012, we'll see a new US regime so innately hostile to the sick,minorities, women, LGBTs, children, and the elderly it might make Joseph Goebbels' ghost envious.

17. If this footage isn't in the 2012 campaign ads against Rep KnowNothing...

...then the DCCC isn't doing its job.

[ScottLand]

18. They wanted to hear from the people, remember?

The will of the people? Obama's ignoring what the people want? Well, here's some people...

[florida08]

19. People waking up to the propaganda

Great job Illinois. Informed people make all the difference :kick:

[socialindependocrat]

20. Repubs support corporations NOT PEOPLE.

The Repubs support corporations.

Corporations are not people.

By allowing the CEOs to use corporate money without allowing the same amount to be donated to he candidates of the rank and file is misappropriation of funds.

One person = one vote. this allows the corporate leaders to have more than one vote.

How could the Supreme Court vote to allow this? They must be bought!!!

The whole system is bought!!!

WITHOUT A DOUBT - VOTE THEM OUT!!!

[HughBeaumont]

21. Defending the indefensible is always a daunting task.

I wish they would just be flat out honest about the shanking we're receiving from the wealthy and just come right out and say it:

"Yes, Virginia, it IS a Plutocracy. We can't do anything about it, because we're part of it. And you're not going to do anything about it, because they'll shoot you if you try. You have no savings, they have millions and they're bought by people with billions. Your opinion does not matter. It really never did. Their advantage is only going to get worse for you in the future."

Why do they JUST NOT SAY THAT???

22. K&R.

[JBoy]

23. LOL. A second camera could have caught the piss running down his leg.

[Uncle Joe]

24. Kicked and recommended, that's how you do it.

Thanks for the thread, LetTimmySmoke. :thumbsup:

[dorksied]

25. K&R for great truthiness!

[efhmc]

26. This is what is possible if one actually faces the public.

[benld74]

27. THIS type of information NEVER gets played by the Liberal Media,,,

THAT is another problem!

What gets played is the damn Faux news talking heads vile news!!!

[Populist_Prole]

28. Reality bubbles up from the sludge of rhetoric. Finally!

I'd sure like to think that many of those who were roasting that maggot were, not very long ago, quasi teabaggers would were buying the whole RW talking points hook, line, and sinker.

This could mark the spot where the RW can no longer use tax cuts to appeal to working class populists.

[riverwalker]

29. Lets start a "Town Howlers" movement

Our answer to the teabaggers! Love it.

[obxhead]

30. awesome

rec

Replacing Cenk with that asshole Sharpton was one of the stupidest things MSNBC has ever done.

[peace frog]

34. I wouldn't call Sharpton an a$$hole, however

I agree that removing Cenk from his 6 pm slot was a dumbf*ck move by MSNBC. I refuse to watch Sharpton for that very reason.

[orbitalman]

31. Dumb shit ! n/t

[socialist_n_TN]

33. It doesn't surprise me a bit. As a matter of fact

that was EXACTLY the same response that Diane Black had at her town hall in Tennessee a couple of months ago. THEY WON'T ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ASKED BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS!

Now here, it was a majority Republican crowd with a few noisy lefties and the majority let her off the hook. I'm glad to see that Illinois didn't.
