Howard Dean booed and heckled at town hall
Tuesday night in Virginia, former DNC chair Howard Dean received a raucous welcome at a Town Hall meeting. A member of the crowd was eventually ejected in the midst of all the chaos.
Quote of the Day
"...what we have here is a crisis of leadership. There's no question about it. Health care's in chaos. Afghanistan, Iraq [are] getting worse. Deficit? $2 trillion more than anybody thought. And Gallup reports today that consumer confidence in the economy continues to drop. Seems to me it would be very hard to relax on vacation with all of that staring you in the face."

Quote of The Day
"The outrageous scene of a cheer welcoming a mass murdering animal whose terrorist actions resulted in the senseless killing of 270 innocent people on Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland was a grim reminder of just what kind of enemy the world faces with Islamic jihadists. The politicians and diplomats who naively believe that there's something to be gained from having a nice chat with people who kill without conscience, and who are given a hero's welcome for their diabolical death acts need to wake up, grow up, and and stand up."

Quote of the Day
"As far as President Obama is concerned, the health care war is breaking down along party lines. Democrats well understand the president can't afford to be embarrassed on the issue. That would taint his entire presidency. But there's no question most Americans are now dissatisfied with the president's health care deal. According to a brand new NBC News poll, 47 percent now disapprove of the way Mr. Obama is handling health care reform, while 41 percent approve. It's clear Obama's health care policy is not playing among the folks."

Barney Frank Fights Back Against Town Hall Protester
Rep. Barney Frank is not one to keep his mouth shut. So when a woman challenged him at a town hall on Tuesday, he really let her have it.
Quote of The Day
"A new study by Gallup says conservatives significantly outnumber liberals in 47 states. Only Hawaii, Vermont and Massachusetts have an even split. Liberals don't have a majority anywhere. But the media is heavily left, and liberal voices dominate the national conversation on television and in the newspapers. That has emboldened the far left... your humble correspondent believes the Obama administration is intimidated by the far left and fears their zealotry. But if the president governs in their direction, he will fail dismally. The United States... is a center-right country with a strong tradition of self-reliance."

Quote of Day
"So here's the deal. If President Obama wants more fairness in the health care industry--and there should be--he's got to come up with five bullet points that even I can understand. That's a tall order. Five things that clearly tell us what Obama-care would do. And I'll tell you what--he can forget about the public option. It's not going to happen. Even a liberal Congress will not pass a huge federal entitlement when the country's on the verge of bankruptcy."

Quote of The Day
"What happened to the Democrats being the party of the little guy? White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs keeps saying that the town halls are not representative. It's just all a lot of chatter. And team Obama says that the people are just misinformed. The left has spent a lot of time, effort, and money trying to discredit the town hallers as the yahoo racist fringe. Well, this strategy has clearly backfired. Look, Democrats have been caught flat-footed, it's obvious, by this popular uprising."

Browser Cookie Cleaning Preventing Your Being Tracked On The Web
Read the article to learn what you don’t know about government’s websites tracking you via cookies and what to do about it all.
"More than half of the internet’s top websites use a little known capability of Adobe’s Flash plugin to track users and store information about them, but only four of them mention the so-called Flash Cookies in their privacy policies, UC Berkeley researchers reported Monday.
Unlike traditional browser cookies, Flash cookies are relatively unknown to web users, and they are not controlled through the cookie privacy controls in a browser. That means even if a user thinks they have cleared their computer of tracking objects, they most likely have not.
What’s even sneakier?
Several services even use the surreptitious data storage to reinstate traditional cookies that a user deleted, which is called ‘re-spawning’ in homage to video games where zombies come back to life even after being “killed,” the report found. So even if a user gets rid of a website’s tracking cookie, that cookie’s unique ID will be assigned back to a new cookie again using the Flash data as the “backup.”
Even the whitehouse.gov showed up in the report, with researchers reporting they found a Flash cookie with the name “userId.” The site does say in its privacy policy that it uses tracking technology but it does not mention Flash or tell users how to get rid of the Flash cookie.

Fury Erupts at Specter Town Hall Meeting
Original Video- More videos at TinyPic
It seems like a daily occurrence now -- angry citizens confront a member of congress at a town hall meeting. This time it was Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter.
Monday, August 10, 2009
Quote of The Day
"The fact is crowds of this size [at town hall meetings] only turn out across the country if there is real, genuine passion about an issue. And what's driving this August activism is a lack of trust in what the Democrats are promising on health care. Voters hear, 'Oh, don't worry, abortions aren't covered. Illegal aliens don't benefit. Care won't be rationed. Private insurance won't be killed off.' Yet, informed Americans respond with, we don't believe you. Rather than facing the harsh truth, Democrats have stooped to a new low."

Seniors revolt at health care town hall
Original Video- More videos at TinyPic
AARP sponsored a town hall in Dallas and chaos ensued. Angry seniors, worried about losing their health care coverage, demanded answers from the AARP rep. The heat was too much for the moderators and they eventually canceled the meeting.
Quote of The Day
"I don't like insulting rhetoric at town hall meetings by anyone. People should be able to state their case without personal attacks. And I suggest all Americans bring some measure of civility to the debate. However, organized protests are not un-American. And the left is now getting a big taste of its own medicine. Again, it's impossible to know what emotions are spontaneous and what are contrived. But if you want to know the truth about health care, the polling tells the tale. Most Americans now believe President Obama's health care vision is not good for them. And all the spin in the world will not disprove that fact."

Quote of The Day
"...at this point the only way President Obama can get any health care plan passed is to compromise and deeply cut the expense while allowing tax breaks for working Americans who pay their own way. Most Americans want strict government oversight on health care and the insurance industry, but they don't want the feds calling their medical shots. Once again, Americans are saying no to a socialistic program that puts more power in the hands of the government. Most folks, including me, do not want that."
George W. Bush: Comic-Book Villain?
I don’t seem to recall the same level of outrage about this.

Spoof poster of Obama's face painted as The Joker branded 'dangerous and mean-spirited'
A poster depicting Barack Obama as Batman villain The Joker has been called 'mean-spirited and dangerous' by the U.S. President's supporters.
The image, which has been adopted by Mr Obama's critics, shows him wearing the white face paint and smudged red lips of the character most recently played by the late actor Heath Ledger. Beneath the picture reads the word 'socialism'.
The creator of the image remains unknown, but the website that first published the image crashed yesterday because so many had been attempting to view it. It has since been spotted in Los Angeles and Atlanta after it appeared in U.S. media.
The right-wing editor of the American Thinker website, Thomas Lifson, wrote today: 'It is starting.
Inspiration: The poster mimics the make-up worn by late actor Heath Ledger in the latest Batman film
'Open mockery of of Barack Obama, as disillusionment sets in with the man, his policies, and the phony image of a race-healing, brilliant, scholarly middle-of-the-roader.'
But the President's supporters have condemned the image, calling it 'mean-spirited and dangerous.'
A spokesman from the Los Angeles urban policy unit said that depicting the president as demonic and a socialist 'goes beyond political spoofery.'
The image comes as the President faces criticism over his plans to create a $1trillion healthcare programme.
Republican chairman Michael Steele first used the word 'socialism' in relation to Mr Obama two weeks ago as he slammed the President's attempts to push Congress into passing the healthcare reforms.
Quote of The Day
"we believe [that] two vibrant political parties are necessary for a strong America. Competition always leads to good ideas. When one party dominates, you tend to see arrogance and foolish policies creep in. And that may already be happening to the Obama administration. According to Real Clear Politics, President Obama's job approval rating is falling faster than any modern president except for Bill Clinton. Since his inauguration, the president has lost 16 points in about six months."

Quote of The Day
"...Americans have seen now seven months of far-left government in action. What does that mean? Massive spending programs, Washington's takeover of the auto companies, the perpetual apology tour overseas, dozens of unelected czars with unchecked power, and my favorite, cash for clunkers. All of these have been total failures. And now that Americans have had time to do what many congressmen won't do--actually digest what's in the health care plan--they are in a full-fledged revolt."
