Can anyone figure out what the young man is saying?

[Chulo]

From the "more info"
At a health care rally at a Maryland university, a protester began shouting, prompting boos and President Obama to pause. The man apparently yelled "Obama you're a liar. Obama, your health care kills children. Abortion is murder." (Sept. 17)

[Gleipnir]

Aaawwww... what's the matter, sonny?
Mom and Dad didn't pay enough attention to you?
Playing revolutionary again?

Do you guys remember the Jane Whitney show? I recall how whenever some idiot in the audience would be yelling (silently to the television audience) she would always rather calmly say - "You're off mic" and move on.

[beNder]

At around 1:28 is the best part of the video. Guy being escoted out knocks something out of some guys hand and another guy spits on the guy they are escorting out. :)

[wild_wild_wes]

Why won't the damn EMBED button work.

[TheSteve]

Sounds like a smart cookie.

Can anyone figure out what the young man is saying? Fixed, and yep looks like someone spits on him and another takes a swing at him while yet another throws something at him.

What does that say for who the Violent ones are?

[Clear_blues]

means people should teach their kids some manners instead of buying them videogames.

[Elbs]

How dare he stand up and heckle a politician? Where does he think he is?

[Red_Fern]

Since when was exercising your 1st amendment right such a bad thing? The left had no trouble doing it to Bush, so why's it so bad now?

[Skutatos]

Hahahahaha soooooooo funny hitting and spitting on him. Who does he think he is yelling at the chosen one anyhow? Dissent must be met with violence.

Seriously though, look at the hate. It's pretty disturbing.

Oh, and apparently only liberal artistes are allowed to wear goofy hats.

[Mu-Meson]

Obama (D) asdf Bush (R)

See the difference?
The dude was rude for sure, but he was also correct. Obamacare will cover abortions.

[Clear_blues]

never said it was ok for the left to do it. Frankly I wanted to punch out the guy who flicked away the heckler's hat, and I'm a "liberal". What I'm saying is that parents need to teach their kids manners instead of letting them plug away at GTA or CoD.

[Skutatos]

Because it is blasphemy against their messiah, the guy they believe will enact all their long-awaited policies. Upon watching the video again, I love the look on that lesbian's face...its like "OMG, HOW DARE HE!"

[Red_Fern]

Okay, so yes, heckling isn't the nicest way to go about it... however, booing at an informal rally is alot less offensive than professional politicians booing during a state of the union address.

I was taught manners and still played video games and I turned out okay.
But I do see where you're coming from.

[Gleipnir]

No, you didn't.

[LineDoggie]

Hecklers by definition get the Bums rush at political events, that's the choice one makes for doing it. However letting others in the crowd assault him while you have his arms twisted behind his back is ****ty on the security guards part and pretty cowardly on the assaulters part.

[wild_wild_wes]

Damn that is a nice hat where can I get one.

I agree-
although one of the guards did also escort away one of those douchebags (around the 1.30 mark - the spitter)

Whats wrong with it?

[Skutatos]

Whats wrong with it?

Regardless of whether killing human fetuses is wrong or not...many do not want their tax dollars going to some slut who couldn't keep her pants on and was too stupid to use birth control.

[Dominique]

So if someone's raped, she falls into that category, and I'm sure that whenever you have ***, you ALWAYS use a condom, or have taken a vow of abstinence?

[Skutatos]

I didn't say anything about rape, now did I?

I believe abortion is ok in cases of rape, or when pregnancy poses a serious health risk to the mother and in the very early stages(1-2 months).

I do not think it is ok to use tax dollars to pay for it in cases where the mother is simply not willing to deal with the consequences of her own actions.

It is not too difficult to practice safe ***. If you can't figure it out, you probably shouldn't be having *** in the first place.

[realityexists]

Well at least he didn't get zapped by a taser. :p

On the issue of abortion, I think it boils down to an individual's worldview and his or her moral beliefs. For the guy in the video, at least the man has the guts to stand up for what he believes to be right.

[TallGuy]

So you would rather have the the public healthcare system pay for her hospital stay when she gives birth? Abortion is much cheaper...

[Gleipnir]

It takes guts to yell at the President from a crowd?

Grow up.

[Skutatos]

I would like to see some comparison of cost, you might be right.

[realityexists]

Actually, yes it does. It may not be well-mannered, and quite frankly it is rude, but it does take a certain type of courage to yell at the President of the United States, especially since such actions can be interpreted as hostile.

Hostility towards the POTUS, is not a good vibe to give off with lots of men with guns around him who are sworn to protect him. :p

[Gleipnir]

Just like cheesy sloganeering, such empty gestures are self indulgent and immature to the extreme. The level of empowerment this individual has given himself or anyone else is minimal at best.
Maybe feeling your heart beat a little faster than normal is exciting, maybe playing revolutionary and bragging to your friends about how you got forcibly removed by 'fascist pigs' who squashed your 'free-speech' during a one way communication is fun and groovy.
Maybe this little tantrum actually gave the President a new illuminating perspective that someone is unhappy and disagrees with what he is saying and maybe now all those tired and powerless individuals who saw this and empathized with this revolutionary hero might organize and rally his cause and therefore change the world- maybe they will dub themselves the Paperboys in honour of the headwear he lost during his fearless tirade!

yeah man, with loads of cool slogans to go with it that will evoke social change and new dialogues, yeah man
run forward, comrade! the old world is behind you

[TallGuy]

I would like to see some comparison of cost, you might be right.
At private clinics, an abortion can cost from $200 - $1000, depending on how far along she is etc.
Normal hospital births can cost about $10.000 to $12.000. More complicated births e.g. c-sections, cost even more....

or maybe he just believes abortion is wrong, and decided to act on his beliefs by yelling at the POTUS? :roll:

Dumb? Yes. Rude? Yes. Brave? A little bit, thus my original comment it takes "guts" to stand up for your beliefs. :)

[GlassHarp]

"Young people; We are the only nation on earth to leave millions of people without health insurance."

I am sorry to say it, really sorry, but this guy is either a really bad public speaker, or a moron. Since all I hear about is how great of a speaker he is then I guess I will have to go with moron. Probably many of those students will actually believe him.

[Jobu]

I'm not sure Obama's ego could handle such a thing.

If that is all it takes to 'stand up' for your beliefs then I guess that there is no need to worry. Such a pathetic display has little to no impact in the grander scheme of things. Let's hope that this little hormonal bravado will continue to be channelled into such pitiful, although super groovy and totally rupturing and society altering gestures.

I can't wait to see him on a t-shirt- The Paperboys- groovy revolutionary prolife crusaders!!! Disrupting one way communications and saving lives off the mic! Can you dig it?!

Less that 1% of abortions are done because of rape.

Abortions are done because those women are lazy, selfish, and immoral.

[Zarak]

I think its lazy, selfish, and immoral to raise a child that one either doesn't want, can't support, or both. If anything, more people should have abortions. Our prisons are full of murderers, rapists, and psychopaths who were raised by a parent or parents who didn't want them and/or couldn't support them.

You seem to be a moral person. Then, would you like to save 5500 infants each year in America? All you need to do is to help lower our infant mortality rate to the same level as Cuba's.

Also, be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. Without abortions, our annual total number of birth would increase by 15%.

Ugh, these are the worst

I'd be surprised if the statistics to back that up even exist. If they do they are unreliable because I doubt women would speak so candidly about their choice or that their practitioners are obliged to collect such information. Either way all I see is a blanket statement.

[Elbs]

collect such information. Either way all I see is a blanket statement.

Yea, so we should just murder them quick and early

Actually I have heard it argued that a baby boom would go along way toward moving the economy forward. Don't know if the numbers actually work or not, but it kind of makes some sense, its like an 18 year long stimulus package.p-)

That is a big IF, considering what kind of people abort their own babies. Yes, I have no respect for people who abort their own babies with a few exceptions.

True, the breakdown of the family unit is truly something to be mourned.

[wild_wild_wes]

Someone has to pay for the Social Security pyramid scheme.

Oh, and the human heart begins beating at three week's gestation. So aborting after that is infanticide, plain and simple. If you are okay with infanticide I would ask what happened to your soul. People without souls are capable of any behavior and only a fool would trust them with anything or want them in their life.

[Mastermind]

Get ready...

It is rising...the hatred will not be ebbed....and there is not one gdmned thing anyone will be able to do to stop it.

Just wait until the inflation hits big time...You have not seen anything yet.

My personal opinion is that I don't believe in abortions, except in cases where the mother's life is in danger, or in cases of rape, as there are far to many methods of birth control, and plenty of people looking to adopt. But, that doesn't mean I think that everyone who has an unplanned pregnancy is "some slut who couldn't keep her pants on and was too stupid to use birth control." :roll:

Our prisons are full of murderers, rapists, and psychopaths who were raised by a parent or parents who didn't want them and/or couldn't support them.

While there are plenty of lazy, worthless oxygen thieves walking around, that doesn't mean we should start chucking fetuses out with the weekly trash pickup, in order to cut down on the welfare rolls and the prison population. More education, and better parenting, and early intervention, when the parents aren't doing their job, would solve a lot of the problems.

By that definition of bravery, the idiots that flew planes into the WTC, Pentagon, and crash in PA were "brave", as they certainly had strength in their convictions, and were willing to die to stand up to someone they perceived as an enemy.
