Have any health care town hall meetings been held without incident?

All I've seen and heard are these events being held with disruptions, threats of violence and little opportunity (if any) to engage in civil discussion on health care reform

Have there been ANY meetings in which none of this disruptive behavior occurred?

By only hearing about the disruptions at these meetings, are supporters of health care reform being demoralized out of continuing the fight?

1. and isn't that strange

for years - town hall meetings with no violence.

Then all of a sudden, all them are disrupted - across the country.

Spontaneous disruption.

awfully fishy. Yet the gop still claims it is just grassroots concern over the healthcare bill.

2. Concern over health care is reasonable

That's what the town hall meetings are for. A chance for people to voice their concerns. These people are not doing that. They are shouting and disrupting and trying to make certain no one really gets answers or is able to voice their concerns. They are acting like bullies. And what is this about them carrying swastikas? That is inflammatory. They are going to these meetings looking for a fight, acting belligerent. If they were anything other than white elderly folks they'd be arrested.

3. oh I agree - the townhall concept is very appropriate

all the disruption has to be orchestrated. Otherwise, why would it just start? Every townhall meeting across the country with this violence?

It has to be orchestrated. This just doesn't happen so spontaneously.
