When they were under control, the speaker talked most of the meeting time, delivering a slanted message design to lead the audience somewhere while being short of verifiable facts. Q&A was relatively short, sometimes the Questions had to be screened to see if that one would be allowed. The answers usually were a reiteration of the talking points delivered in the speech before Q&A.
And then there are always the angry guys who rage on from the floor microphone. IF people had to pay 25 cents to go to one they’d all realize how a waste of money they are. And that was before the people turned into raging lunatics.

No, Rick, by going to a town hall meeting and denying the speaker an opportunity to speak is what we are talking about. Yes, the opponents of the speaker have a right to be heard. Doesn’t the speaker? Do the opponents have a right to deny the speaker HIS or HER right? That’s what happening.

We were talking about town hall meetings, not Donald Trump.

Citizens who drown out the speaker are not there to exchange ideas, they are there to shut down opposing ideas.

And as a typical liberal, you attack anyone who has a different opinion. “It’s funny that you romanticize and long for the American democracy of the 1940s, when African-Americans couldn’t vote and we imprisoned Japanese-Americans. Really great times. ” How you got that from this gentleman’s article is beyond me.

Forming up some brown shirts, huh? Sounds like a good idea.

You know who is shutting down meaningful discourse? Our president and his administration. They are cheating us all of a meaningful exchange by masterfully whipping up a media circus with outrageous tweets and bald-faced lies to distract from the scrutiny they face on issues.

Are you and your ilk so thin-skinned that because people don’t agree with your point of view you instantly try to discredit them? It’s funny that you romanticize and long for the American democracy of the 1940s, when African-Americans couldn’t vote and we imprisoned Japanese-Americans. Really great times. We’re well on our way to making America that great again. Keep up the good work.

Unfortunately people are dumb enough to believe this.
