Baron Hill (IN-09): This Is My Town Hall Meeting. I Set the Rules.

Short video of "his" townhall meeting, where a young girl asks if she can video her question, and his answer ...

Not verbatim, but close:

"This is my townhall meeting and I'm not going to let you (the audience) tell me how to run my congressional office."

"These kind of videos end up on Youtube, in a compromising position."

Dumbass. Twice over. For being ignorant that he really can't STOP videos nowadays, and for giving the perfect reason for one of his to end up on Youtube, showing him in a "compromising position".

Not to mention that the "you" who "can't tell me how to run his congressional office" are his citizen electors ... who he works for.

Ass. Whatever party he claims. I didn't even bother to look, because I really don't care.

Elected to Congress before, an old hand, the returning Hill had swiftly hooked up with the Blue Dog Coalition, 52 Democrats who are a factor delaying for example passage of the American Affordable Health Care Act of 2009 (H.R. 3200), thus becoming a crucial swing vote on epochal legislation. Hill -- whose website accurately shows the national debt spinning as fast as an electric meter whirls, though the site's numbers are arguably misleading -- has called for cutbacks or more government savings or income to balance the spending. His constituents do not agree about what stance he should take next.

Indeed many said they were not sure where he stood. Constituents at the New Albany town hall whispered that on Hill's government website under Issues, he stated that health care was a right, but said little about how to provide it, let alone cost-effectively. When searched for "health care bill," the site accessed Thomas, a U.S. government database that coughed up only old health care bills. When "single payer" or "public option" was entered in the search box, it brought up no reference more recent than 2004. Even when the accurate number of the main 2009 reform bill, H.R. 3200, was entered, Hill's site--or Thomas-- wrongly identified it as a proposal "to expand the travel and transportation allowances available to members of the Armed Forces granted leave...."

I didn't bother to google it to find out, because (as I said) he's an ass, regardless of his political affiliation.

He's an "elite politician": part of the elite class who think they have a right to hold office.

He just happens to be a "Blue Dog Democrat" which means he generally holds conservative views.

I don't care.

He's an ass, who needs to lose his office.

Perhaps, for you and DK, idiots who are of your party need to be given a pass when they act like asses.

I'm sorry for you, then.

I doubt it,he himself stated why he wouldn't let people film the meeting (you may have noticed no shortage of press filming though). he didn't want to end upon youtube looking stupid...and VIOLA!!! there he is on youtube looking stupid.

And why would you doubt it considering the stream of so-called protests at town hall meetings that preceded his?

Asked and answered, RML.  See the bolded text you quoted.

What rule is really advocating is that government shouldn't be exposed to the light of public exposure. Back rooms and star chambers are now de riguer, since the "right people" are in charge.

I didn't have to look. It's plainly obvious just from his quoted comments in your post. Much like the case of Ted Kennedy going back to the Senate for another 40 years - I don't blame the politicians. They didn't vote themselves into office.
