    I think the American people, the reporters and the politicians not only need to start listening, they need to start doing their homework on the issue. The little fact checking the reporters are doing isn't enough. The politicians need to start understanding there is alot of mistrust out there, and while this may work to the advantage of some in the short run, it is going to come back to haunt everyone eventually. And the American people are going to have to educate themselves on the issue as difficult as that is because the only thing you can count on is what you know to be true and the only facts you can trust are those you verify for yourself.

    What strikes me is that the man is complaining about the government and he is more than likely on a government run healthcare.

    This out-of-context stuff is not even worth reporting. Come on national media, you're not a local tabloid rag.

    While personal remarks toward some people at the town meetings seem inappropriate and over all non-productive, I can understand the frustration that some of our lawmakers are having with these rude, misguided ,or outwardly racist individuals regarding helath care reform. They appear to be in a frenzied state, and it is clear that they have already made up their minds long before the meeting. The Republican Party and the insurance companies are mainly responsible for this situation. If President Obama comes to harm, the Republican party will have blood on its hands!
