Flipping channels, preparing for my exit from Vacation-dom, and a return to real life… I came across a Town Hall Meeting on CSpan2. Hosted by Jim Moran and John Murtha, they fielded several questions from the audience.

Jim Moran had to correct a question from an audience member, who wondered where a missing 1-point-something-or-other TRILLION dollars that the government had “misplaced.”

“It’s not ‘trillion,” Moran responded. But the girl – who was reading her questions from a piece of paper – argued with Moran that it *was* a ‘trillion.’ Apparently she had the evidence, straight from a left-wing wacko source… (maybe from the same source that Mary Mapes got her information from?)

Another member said the war was senseless, and let’s get around to impeaching Bush/Cheney. Still other audience members – from the military – told stories of their buddies in hospitals that ask “why?” in regards to the war on terror in Iraq, and questioned the validity of not only the war, but of their commanders. Gee, how patriotic.

Murtha said that the Bush administration is now working on a plan where they can “claim” that the Iraqis are getting trained, and therefore it’s now time for the United States to get out of Iraq. “My plan is the only plan that is viable.” (Speaking about his plan to move troops out of Iraq, to surrounding countries, unless and until they’re needed back in Iraq.) Murtha then immediately excused himself, saying that [paraphrased] “Jim [Moran] seems to be handling things well [at this meeting].”

John Murtha must have been the main attraction, as everyone except a few left the room. The emptying room wasn’t lost on Moran, who commented that they can tell the people in the adjoining rooms that there is “plenty of seating now available.”

Another audience member got up and said some mumble jumble about reining in the Bush administration because they’re wire-tapping phones. (Nevermind that the administration couldn’t give a fart about this guy’s phone conversations.) Perhaps this guy would have been best satisfied if he’d been given a foil hat to wear.

The more I watched this joke for a town meeting, the more I realized I was watching “Left Wing Extremist TV.” The next guy that got up and said something helped solidify my opinion, when he said something about troops using chemical warfare… or maybe it was the release of 25 top Saddam loyalists from Abu Ghraib… or maybe it was just my personal opinion that the guy forgot to take his meds.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more kook, left-wing extreme… some cheeseball got behind the mic and started yapping about “Bush Lies!” (™), “Let’s throw Bush out!”, and finally a request to the audience to meet with this moonbat and his fellow moonbats for the State of the Union address. (These wacko’s goals? They want to – literally – drown out President Bush’s address when he presents the State of the Union address.) Where was this goofball from? WorldCantWait.org… where, on their website, they suggest to students to “Resist or Die!” The banner on their site says “Drive Out the Bush Regime!” Regime? I realize that there are gullible people around, but do they really think that America is the same thing as, say, the Nazi Regime? Well, yes… because a further glance at this king moonbat’s website gives us other topics such as “Alito: the Masking of a Conservative or the Showboating of a Nazi?”

I couldn’t watch any more of this so-called meeting. Obviously there was a badge check at the front door, and only card-carrying, left-wing extremists, liberals, and their moonbat friends were allowed in. I don’t know that for a fact, of course, but I found it interesting that every question, statement, or grand applaud came from those groups. Were I to have attended, I probably would have laughed myself out of the room at some of the questions [such as the examples above]. Or, I would have asked a question that would have likely not been appreciated by the hosts or members of the afore-mentioned groups.

In all fairness, finally, at nearly the end of the “meeting,” an angry man showed up, defending the death of a man who died today. In short, he put it to Moran [and his ilk] that they’re making life very dangerous for our troops, by basically supporting the enemy. In response to this, Moran had several “uh’s” and “ah’s,” but very little answer. The moonbat audience didn’t like having this man, who dared question the great Moran [and his ilk], and the man left the room. (I wish I knew who this man was, and a transcript of what he said, because it was fantastic stuff.)

Another year, and it looks like the left-wing wackos are already warming up for more political fun. With that much hot air coming out of the mouths of the moonbats, maybe America *is* responsible for global warming after all.
