Marine Blasts Rep. Baird: ‘Pelosi Should Look for Swastika on Her Own Sleeve’
By PoliJAM | August 22, 2009
Attending a health care town hall meeting with U.S. Rep. Brian Baird (D-Washington), Marine Corp veteran David Hedrick gave his congressman an earful:
Mr. Hedrick wrote the following summary about his town hall questioning of his congressman:
I, David William Hedrick, a member of the silent majority, decided that I was not going to be silent anymore. So, I let U.S. Congressman Brian Baird have it. I was one questioner out of 38, that was called at random from an audience that started at 3,000 earlier in the evening. Not expecting to be called on, I quickly scratched what I wanted to say on a borrowed piece of paper and with a pen that I borrowed from someone else in the audience minutes before I spoke. So much for the planned talking points of the right wing conspiracy.
Some notable quotes by Mr. Hedrick from the above video:
“I also heard you say that you’re gonna let us keep our health insurance. Well thank you – It’s not you’re right to decide whether or not I keep my current plan or not! That’s my decision!…
“I will remind you a little history lesson. The Nazis were the National Socialist party, they were Leftist – they took over the finance, they took over the car industry, they took over health care in that country.
“If Nancy Pelosi wants to find a swastika, maybe the first place she should look is the sleeve of her own arm…
“What I want to know is, as a marine, as a disabled veteran that served this country I’ve kept my oath. Do you ever intend to keep yours?”

[...] Disabled Marine Corp veteran David Hedrick, who challenged Rep. Baird (D-Washington) at a health car… discussed the confrontation Monday with Fox News’ Sean Hannity: SEAN HANNITY: I read that one of the main reasons you wanted to be there is because congressman Baird had used the term ‘brown shirts’ to describe people showing up at the town halls. You confronted him on that – what happened? [...]

God bless David Hedrick! Semper Fi. Rep. Baird is not the only one in Washington to ignore the people of this country. Either they are American and stand up for America or not. Much of what the Demorats in Washington want to do should be put to a referendum of the people, instead of trying to circumvent the Constitution. A lot of their actions are based on the greed for money and power. Next election it is time to clean house in Washington.
