It's a shame that SNL is not in production right now. The cold open would be a town hall meeting. Every person that stepped up the microphone would be crazier than the next. Making all kind of outrageous claims about the proposed health care reform. The final guy could be wearing a coonskin cap and a barrel with straps. "The only thing the Obama health care plan covers is abortions and zombie bites!" Anything else? "Live from New York ..." That sucker would kill.
Seth Meyers, call me pally, we'll chat.
I know there are plenty of reports of shills and plants being sent to these meetings, but let me give those that actually want a discussion a nickel's worth of free advice.
Stop sending the caricatures to the mike. Don't have the slob with meatball stains dripping down his t-shirt talk/ramble/scream. Don't you have anyone that isn't in the over 60, white guy, Bill O'Reilly fan-base demographic? How about a dude wearing a tie?
Maybe it would be a good idea to let someone talk that has an actual counter-argument. Not yelling and screaming incoherent blather. It comes across as only trying to defeat Obama, not caring about the 50 million that don't have health care. You're siding with the pharmaceutical companies who are kind of the bad guys.
Don't make signs with Nazi symbology. It's backfiring and really embarrassing.
And, most important, do not, under any circumstances, let someone yell "I want my country back!" This has become the battle cry for the batty. The news directors are waiting for the nuts to yell it so they can play the clip. How are you not figuring this out on your own?
Okay, enough ranting/common sense, roll the damn clip. You need to see this guy.

My favorite one is - Keep the Government out of My Healthcare.
Said by some dipshit in the mid 60's, uninsurable, and on medicare. What the hell are you thinking?
That one is hard to figure out.
For some reason all I could think of when I was watching that video was two wrestlers standing in the ring mouthing off.
Anyone else get that vibe?
Now that you mention it Frank, this does have a Rowdy Roddy Piper feel to it.
i'm glad people are passionate about the issue. i just wish they were able to make meaningful arguments. i understand being worked up about the issue but if you're gona make a argument, make it at least reasonable.
my 2 cents worth.
Specter should have hit him over the back with a metal folding chair.
Mmmmmm...Just desserts
White people can't jump.
Is that why they're so very angry?
I had my doubts about *health care reform* but then they said it would kill my Granny. Now I'm all for it.
I don't know, I'm not sure that this guy is some sort of slick pro rabble rouser.
Is it at all possible that the dude, who was obviously very nervous and pumped with adrenaline really had some good points to make, but had to settle for a bit of grandstanding before he got the bum's rush?
