Woman is identified as Javonne Spitz of O’Fallon.
Around the :48 mark (I was right here when this video was shot, FYI) Spitz refers to Kenneth Gladney as “black man.”

Can someone explain to me why town meetings are being targeted for a federal issue?
Any patriots out there wish to explain the town meeting thing to me?
Wouldn't it be more productive to take your pitchforks over to Washington, D.C.?

I don't see how Mayor Simpleton in Bumblef***, Illinois, is going to be able to affect change at the federal level when all he's worried about is the zoning rights for the new Fosters Freeze.

And what does it say?
I'm confused as to your interpretation.

This is an eyewitness account of my trip to an event Russ Carnahan (D-MO) hosted to discuss long term care issues for seniors. While the event was not billed as a town hall for health care reform it essentially turned into a forum for both sides to express views on reform.

SEIU has been linked to ACORN and is involved with the authorship of the Health Care Plan.
Ironically these thugs were using racial slurs against this Black Man who was assaulted. The victim was just a vendor doing a job and had no part in the politics.
What happened here is a group of Black's beat up another Black because they thought he was a Conservative. Forget freedom of speech with this bunch.
Both ACORN and SEIU are deep under the covers in bed with Obama. They will both be flooded with money because of this relationship. ACORN is nothing but an organized crime mob and apparently SEIU is heading that way.
What will happen is what always happens. SEIU will say they had nothing to do with it and blame it all on the individuals even though they likely worked them up into a lather so they would do just what they did.
When are the good people in the Democratic Party going to wake the hell up. The Republicans have accepted, for the most part, how bad Bush was. I don't think this will happen with the Far Left.
I predict many Democrats will turn Independent and realize that is where the intelligent people have been all along.
Obama damn well better condemn what SEIU did in no uncertain terms, or he is the phony I think he has always been. They were even let into special doors and instructed and given special treatment. Imagine that at a meeting open to the public.
I'm physically sickened by what is going on. Begich here in Alaska is having a meeting with some of his old cronnies in Anchorage and then skipping state to hide. He won't even have a town meeting or answer any questions not coming from his backers. His career is over in Alaska. He knows it. A one termer thank god. Now he will do all the damage he can while he can.

These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views -- but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades.
This is not left and right, this is about selective health care and that some ppl will be more equal than others.
America is growing older. We knew that. But earlier this year, the U.S. Census Bureau quantified how much older and how fast it will happen.
The numbers paint a picture of a nation on the brink of remarkable change. Today, about 13 percent of Americans are over age 65.
By 2030, more than 20 percent of Americans will be in that group. By 2050, about 89 million Americans will be over age 65, more than double the number today.
