How are the thugs who disrupt town hall meetings recruited?

And are they paid? I've had several thoughts about this -- many seem to be older Americans so were they recruited from senior centers? Was an ad placed in a newspaper or flyer to recruit them? Are they registered Repubicans recruited through party phone calls or mailings? Are they Rushbots or Beckerheads who have signed up for a mailing list and are now being recruited by them? Maybe Fox sold a mailing list to the insurance industry for this action.

I think we need to find the answer and expose it. I can't believe these are spontaneous arisings occuring all over the country with people saying the same thing, using the same tactics, etc.

1. Republican mailing list... AND remember, the geriatric ward normally watches

Faux news.. they are already riled up. I doubt they even need money to hop on the happy bus.

3. Maybe so...

Sometimes the offer of a free lunch is enough. Maybe they threatened them with the line "the government is going to demand you say how you want to die" so Obama can kill you.

2. Free Drugs

These are the dopes who bought "Medicare" plus insurance.

4. I bet its through some churches

And if it is, those churches should have their tax status reviewed by the IRS.

5. They are probably using lists of the teabaggers too. I have no doubt that

the people organizing this are using multiple methods of recruitment.

7. Agreed, 21 years of Rush, and now relentless on radio and Fox News.

Weak minded sycophants who blame the resentments of their miserable lives on Barack Obama.

Rush is the king of the cheap bullies who were picked on as kids. That's who they are.

8. My guess is SS fliers, promise of free beer and ...

absolutely no independent thought process required.
Wave flag, scream socialism, belch, fart, and shit pants. (not necessarily in that order)
