AARP Townhall Meeting to Discuss Health Care Reform is Derailed by Protesters

This event has not been added to any topics.

Another video making the rounds is of a town hall in Dallas organized by the AARP, a non-partisan special interest group. The video cuts between shots of exasperated organizers and their unruly audience. The organizers eventually walk out. This seems to be the protesters' modus operandi -- to overwhelm town hall organizers and ultimately shut down debates.

And their strategy seems to be working. As the healthcare reform debates rage on, pundits ask not whether Obama's healthcare imbroglio will cost him in the polls, but by how much.
