Schakowski Stacked the Deck

It took about 24 hours to piece this together, but it appears likely that Rep Jan Schakowski 'stacked the deck' on Monday's town hall meeting by bringing in 5 to 10 bus loads of her supporters and allowing them into the auditorium before the rest of the crowd.

On the day of the meeting, only one entrance to the building was open at Niles West High School in Skokie.  That was the north entrance.  Liberty Watchman arrived about an hour before the scheduled start time and saw five yellow school buses parked at the south entrance.  As he parked his car, he saw the last two people get off the buses and enter the high school through the south entrance.  They did not appear to the Watchman's old eyes to be high school age persons.

While unloading from his car, the Watchman observed the buses depart from the school leaving behind a man to stand guard on the south portal and direct all other attendees to walk all the way around the building to the north entrance.

On Tuesday, blog reader 'Illinois Patriot', who also came to the town hall meeting and couldn't get in, told the Watchman that he talked to people on the scene who said as many as 10 buses arrived at the school that evening.  These observations corroborated the account of another man who the Watchman observed walking briskly out of the meeting before it ended, saying "she stacked the deck by filling the room with her own people."  The man stormed away before the Watchman could follow up on that claim.

Unless someone can come forward with an alternate explanation for why there would be so many buses at the school long after students had gone home, I think it's safe to assume they shuttled Schakowski's lackeys and supporters to the town hall meeting.

Let's do some math.  Each of these buses had a capacity of 36-78 passengers and we know that between 5 and 10 buses arrived at the school.  That would mean that somewhere between 180 and 780 of the 1300 attendees were Schakowski's ringers.  That would also explain why the pro-Obama protesters outside the building outnumbered their opponents by at least 2-to-1.

Reports like this are coming in from all around the nation.  What began as a legitimate grass roots protest against Obamacare and excessive government spending has been hijacked by the well-oiled democrat machine.

The Watchman took the following video outside the Schakowski meeting.  Note that as we have seen in many other locations, the pro-Obama signs are all professionally printed while the Obamacare opponents virtually all had hand written/painted signs.



Now that the town hall meetings have become one big statist coordinated farce, it's on to Washington, DC on September 12th for the National Tea Party protest.  Liberty Watchman will be there, video camera in hand, to bring you his first had perspective.

**** LATE ADDITION ****

I saw this video on Hannity, but didn't realize it was taken at Schakowski's party. Is there any doubt that these town halls are now a deomocrat sham?
