Any news?

I heard that something happened at County Market on Greenwood Rd.

Word is that somebody tried to engage Joe Shine in discussion and Joe came off his spool. It ended up with his questioner being hauled away. I wish I knew the details

I don't know if this was at the health care drive-by or another local event. That's what I came here hoping to find out because there's not squat about it on our local media websites.

Found it!

You can see it after the advertisement (which you can neither skip nor pause) at this link...

Check out the identical professionally printed signs and the green neck scarves (?).

This thing reeks of paid protesters.

I was there. What happened was that Joe Shine called everyone who was against the HR3200, un-American, and Devil's. The man in question, a Gulf War Vet, not knowing who Joe Shine was, wanted to get in his face about being called un-American. Two local SPD officers pulled him away, and were going to take him in. The camers from chanels 3, and 6 were filming it, and I stepped up as the Vet was trying to explain, and told the LEO's that the Vet was correct, that Joe did say what the Vet was trying to tell them Joe said. He was released, and not taken to jail, but did leave with his wife ASAP. I then proceded to get into it a little with Joe myself when I asked him to appoligize to all of us, and he instead made it personal, calling me personally, a devil, and un-American. These folks started the name calling, and they were the ones that really showed a bad attitude.

Don't know if they were paid or not, but the buss pulled in and these folks started piling out of vehicles that were not with the buss. This stop was made possible by the NAACP, if my information is correct, and so they had their own crowd there to stand up for HR3200. If you haven't had a chance to review the bill, you should. I will post some highlights.

What you need to do is google HR 3200, and once you have it downloaded, check out these claims for your self. Be sure to read page 29, but read them all!

We have a great State Representative, here in NC, that went out of his way to outline some of the more interesting lines from the Healthcare Bill (HR 3200) that he discovered going through it line by line. I thought you might be interested in seeing them.

Everyone, please remember this is not about Health Care. It is about the spending, and graft in Washington. We need to take our Nation back from the Government that is now in office, both sides!

[kimber]

I see it all as being about FREEDOM! Our Freedom to choose - as Americans & Not just about spending. If we loose our Freedom choosing - whether it be health care, cap & tax, or to even wear socks...nothing else matters.
