repost: david price faux town hall meeting

Published August 11, 2009

Last night from 7-8 pm, Time Warner Cable ran a "Call-In Town hall meeting with US Congressman David Price". It was broadcast as a Live event for you to call in & ask questions.

 ____________________________________

 

From the office of David Price:

Congressman Price's award-winning public affairs show, Keeping in Touch, will air live Monday, August 10th at 7pm on Channel 24 on Time Warner Cable.

On his show Congressman Price will take questions from callers.  You can ask a question on the air by calling 1-800-849-0632 during the live broadcast.  Price will answer as many questions as time allows.
For more information on Keeping in Touch, including the re-broadcast schedule, visit the Time Warner Cable's local programming website.

 _____________________________________

 

It was completely "Staged". When you called the number, you got an automated message that there was "NO LIVE Broadcast at this time."

 

Can you believe the  Gall of this guy....Price finally agrees to meet with his constituents via TWC Cable access chan 24, and it's all a "FRONT". I was watching them answer a call, & tell the caller to turn the TV down and everything, but it was all fake, probably pre-recorded calls.

 

I even called the WRAL Newsroom number. I talked to Amanda, who was very nice on the phone. Kudo's Amanda @ WRAL. Anyway, I informed them of the congressmen's town hall meeting as it was happening.... I don't know if WRAL can monitor TWC or not, but hopefully they will question Mr. Price on this.

Call him today and ask him about that. He is refusing to meet with the people he represents.

Fax: 919.688.0940

 

I have called his office this morning, and as usual, I got nothing but voicemails. I also called Richard Burr's office & Marianna told me that she was not aware of this & she would inform Richard. I have also reported this to several Major news organizations.

 

Folks....THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

The real town hall meeting wasn't much better on Thursday. SEANC union members and Organizing for America members got e-mail invitations....as a conservative I don't think I got mine....4 reform supporters making a speech and then 45 minutes of switching back between pro and con lines....only about 5 con questions could be asked....a lot of Democratic talking points basically reiterating the same information provided on his TV show. No real answering concerns except general platitudes. After 45 minutes and with about 60 people still in the con line they decided that they had put forth enough of a farce so they stopped the Q&A. Price really got upset when the issue of deficit spending was brought up since he was so outspokely opposed to the Bush tax cuts that were "unfunded" but when called to the carpet about the "economic stimulus package" that passed without due process in January he blew up...it was kind of funny.

"Smorgas where were you when the Bush haters were doing the exact same thing for the past 8 years?"

There were 'Bush haters' attending the Bush town hall meetings? Don't think so; not with the level of pre-screening and policy of only inviting Bush supporters to his 'open' town hall meetings.

The Democrats are ignoring the will of the people and they are ignoring the VOICE of the people. That's why we are having all this ruckus.

I think all this ruckus started when all the straight ballots were passed and people had no idea who they were actually placing in office in the first place.

Was it live? Were there any questions that were topical? It is replaying this friday and I will watch it then. Has anyone posted it on youtube?

Price's stunt last night IS one of the reasons these outbursts are occurring. If the Dems would meet and address the citizens they represent, things wouldn't get to this level. When you call, & write, and ask for a meeting, they need to listen.

The Democrats are ignoring the will of the people and they are ignoring the VOICE of the people. That's why we are having all this ruckus.

When your little son or daughter ignores you when you tell them not to run into the road, what do you do???? You raise your voice a little louder... if that doesn't get their attention, you yell & scream. That's the point we are at now. And if you're a GOOD parent, when they continue to ignore your instructions, and run into the road anyway, you wear that little fannie out! They'll cry & pout...but they'll be safe.

I remember them saying b.o. shouldn't receive the same treatment as bush did.

smorg-"And Smorg ACTUALLY said: "I decrie ALL such tactics. They are uncivil and serve only to disrupt what could otherwise be an informative exchange of opinions. I don't care WHO uses them, they are WRONG."

Really, I remember when the UNC deal went down with Tancredo as somebody mentioned, and when Ann Coulter got a pie thrown at her, I remember the Code Pink freaks disrupting congressional sessions and when they went to Bush's farm to scream at everybody that drove by and I remember these being discussed hear on GOO, but I can't recall once, not one time you speaking out against it.

I don't remember you or any lefty for that matter saying anything about mobs or disrespectful or anything else along those lines.

But when the shoe is on the other foot liberals all the way from local blogs to the White House scream foul, why is that?

maybe during the election someone should detail the house banking scandal....regarding the people "screaming"...they're concerned about getting the pain pill when it comes time to consider treatment options. they're concerned about supporting another government "fail" like medicare, social security, medicaid. they're concerned about being taxed more and losing their private property. they see those selling this as the corrupt individuals they are. they're bright enough to see "doing something" is sometimes not the best answer if that something is a bad idea.

"This blog is the Truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God!"

I don't deny you heard what you heard, what I am questioning is your conclusion. Is the ONLY way you would have gotten that message is if the event wasn't actually happening at all?

"No, what's 'unacceptable' is a bunch of Screaming Yellow Zonkers flooding the Town Hall Meetings and shouting down anyone that tries to state their opposing view."

And what names do you have for Code Pink, ANSWER and ACORN for their similar behavior during the Bush administration or when conservatives try to give speeches on college campuses?
