there in support of solidarity to you and called them inbreds and he hopes they made their funeral plans. whatever happened to him? well, you know, we had a mandate for the county commissioners. we said tear down those toll stations in these parts. we ve already paid for these parts, don t be charging us again and we gave the county commissioners the charge to tear them down with your bulldozers. aman, let me ask you, go ahead, sir, finish your point. well, i haven t heard from the county commissioners and the media hasn t reported back. i don t know whether they got tore down or not. aman, you re one of the people that got hurt in this confrontation and we saw the dogs and tasers being fired and we saw women on the grown. you got hit with a taser, what, three times, aman? yes, three times. how many other people were

the affordable care act is much to do about nothing? it s the media piling on, even the so-called mainstream media that conservatives love to say is the liberal media and is in obama s pocket or obama has them in their pocket, they re piling on as well. you ve got very little coverage, for example, what happened when social security was rolled out in 1935 and they had all kinds of problems with people with the same name who had a hard time differentiating themselves only later did they come up with social security numbers? we found out the rollout of ro y y romney care was this slow so the media hasn t done a good job of putting it in perspective and it s much to do about very little. jon: we have 105,000 people signed up for obamacare at last report. they re going to need a whole lot more than that if they want to make this thing work. right. and heritage foundation this morning says that 16 million people are going to lose their health care coverage and
