Paul Ryan held his PPV town hall event at Klemmer’s Banquet Hall in Milwaukee. When some protesters who had paid their $15 stood up and asked him questions about jobs and the Bush tax cuts, Ryan not only had them kicked out. He also had three of them arrested.

These were professional protestors, the same ones recently escorted out of Ryans office after staging a sit-in. Kind of reminds you of the 60's doesn't it.

How soon they forget.

servant was ok with Democratic Congressman having questions shouted at them in the summer of 2009.

Odd how even after charging for admission he still held this town hall on the very northern fringe of his distyrct rather than in Kenosha or Racine close to most of the people he supposedly represents.

Nope, I don't support my union, wear my union t-shirt at mandatory rallies that they've bussed me to, or vote who they try to tell me to vote for... I guess that makes me a teabagger, not a puppet douchebagger.

What's your excuse?

Just wait until you get caught doing something ( e.g.: DWI ) and clock how fast you go crying for your union attorney to save your ass....

It would appear that you and mr. ryan do not believe in the first ammendment.
When these people bought their $15 tickets did the ticket explane that this was to be a lecture and no questions would be allowed?

Do you support the pay and benifits that your union acquired for you?

This is simply another example of Ryan and his co-horts trying to subvert the democratic process. Can you imagine the yowling on the right if a Democrat tried pulling Ryan's stunt of charging for a town hall and then only answering friendly questions - while having people who are trying to address their government representative are either tossed out on their ear or even arrested?
 
Someone above put it best: It is not often a people gets to witness the decline and fall of a once-great and civilized nation.

There is no first amendment protection in a rally, it is a private event. People get thrown out of rallies all the time on the right and left. If you just let people be rude and disruptive then what's the point of having a rally.

I think it is dispicable people people show up and just start yelling. Why not ask a good kicker of question or get in a honest debate with someone? I'll tell you why, the average f***tard on the right or left who actually has the time to go out and protetest is nothing more than a bumper sticker sloganeer, incapable of rational thought.

This thread should be burned.

Which is one of the purposes of a union. Not to politic and disrupt public meetings.

Status: offline 		He wouldn't be Republican if he didn't listen to the folks in his district, eh? "Professional Protester"? There is no such thing! Passionate Protester? Yes, there are many of those. But arresting one's own district residents because they want to voice not only their question by anger, sents a presidence. I'm sure those folks will take him to court over violation of their 1st Amendment rights.

An yes servant, there are MANY instances in which 'Passionate Protesters' went to Democratic House & Senate town hall meetings with the only intention of being disruptful. Not a single Democrat had them carried away in handcuffs. Its sort of like Steve Charbot (R-OH) and the folks in the audience having their cameras taken from them. Why is it becoming more and more common for Republicans to deny in every manner possible their own residents from questioning them?

Evidently the site listed above no longer allows the page to load. Either from so many viewing the page or 'unscruplous' types waging an information war to keep the 'good' Representative in the best possible light. So, I found the information through other sources (google makes it easy).

quote:

Source: Politico.com
Ryan’s appearance before the Whitnall Park Rotary Club in Greenfield, Wis., came after POLITICO revealed that he was one of at least four GOP members of Congress who appeared before only paying crowds while not holding any free town hall meetings open to the public during the August recess.


So 'yes' MileHighM, this was an actual Town Hall Meeting, not a political rally. I thought Republicans (like Mr. Paul Ryan) were against taxes being levied against their own residents? Seems a $15 'tax' is issue for the 'privilage' of seeing their 'elected offical' but not allowed to behave like 'American citizens wishing to hold their goverment.....ACCOUNTIBLE'.

quote:

(from same source)
“I’m being arrested because I spoke out against my congressman,” one woman yelled at the Fox camera as she was led out of the hall by two police officers.


I wonder if FOX News will air this?

Perhaps you could validate for us the circumstances under which the first ammendment may be abridged in the u.s.?
