Buck,

Why are you still reading Powerline?

You want a good accurate news story, right? All I did was google Paul Ryan, and clicked on Paul Ryan News. Here’s some of the story from Politico:

Three people were arrested and 20 removed from Rep. Paul Ryan’s appearance at a “pay per view” town hall crowd on Tuesday, according to local police.

Ryan’s appearance before the Whitnall Park Rotary Club in Greenfield, Wis., came after POLITICO revealed that he was one of at least four GOP members of Congress who appeared before only paying crowds while not holding any free town hall meetings open to the public during the August recess.

During the event the House Budget Committee chairman spoke over protestors who tried to shout him down, according to video of the event posted by Milwaukee Fox affiliate WITI-TV.

“I’m going to keep talking, because this is what you asked me to come here to do,” Ryan told members of the crowd, whose $15 admission fee included a hot lunch. “I have never been so encouraged before. and I know you see, gosh, there’s police here and there’s protesters there and this, this has triggered such an incredible outpouring of support and encouragement, I’ve never seen it before.”

Do you see the difference in just a few paragraphs? In other words, if you were there, would the event have been one marked by arguing or would it have been a near riot, as Powerline infers?

Your own footage shows that it was a normal American political event.
