Claire 'ACORN' McCaskill Slams Constituents at Town Halls: Voter Concerns - 'Are You Going to Kill Our Kids?' - Dissed as 'Mean' and 'Offensive'

Senator Claire McCaskill, the administration's top ObamaCare-shill, implicated in an ACORN fraud probe in 2006, lashed out at constituents at Missouri's Three Rivers Community College. Constiuents called President Obama a socialist and asked McCaskill if she was going to kill their kids (link):

The standing ovation from an overflow crowd suggested that Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill was in friendly territory. The shouts and jeers made it clear that public rancor over President Barack Obama's proposed health care overhaul remains incendiary.

The first-term senator took her message about health care reform to rural southeast Missouri on Monday, hosting town hall forums in Kennett and Poplar Bluff and meeting with county hospital workers in Hayti, one of the state's poorest communities.

The morning session at Southeast Missouri State University's Kennett campus was marked by polite dialogue and few signs of unrest. McCaskill even complimented the roughly 150 audience members for their "good Missouri manners."

The mood at Three Rivers Community College in Poplar Bluff on Monday afternoon — despite an initial warm greeting and McCaskill's leading the audience of 500 in the Pledge of Allegiance — was far different. The loudest applause came when an audience member called Obama a socialist.

Another asked loudly whether McCaskill was "going to kill our kids or not," a reference to concerns over federally funded abortions.

A third asked, "Where's the birth certificate?" alluding to claims that Obama is ineligible to be president by people who contend his birth certificate is a fake and he was actually born outside the U.S.

"You guys are so mean," a visibly frustrated McCaskill said at one point. "It's almost like I give you good news, and you're still mad at me."
Also, at the video above, Senator McCaskill tells CNN's Brianna Keilar that "the notion that ... our government would do anything to cut short or dismiss the quality of life for our seniors is offensive..."

Or, in other words, it's "unpatriotic" to dissent from the administration's ObamaCare line. The truth is, Americans have legitimate concerns about healthcare cost rationalizations being proposed by the administration. As
Wesley Smith points out:
Some of President Obama’s most influential health-care advisers have promoted rationing and quality-of-life judgmentalism. For example, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel’s brother, has suggested that we can no longer afford Hippocratic medicine, laid the intellectual groundwork for rationing based on age, and even stated that medical services “provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens are not basic and should not be guaranteed.”
