Katy Abram
Thursday, August 13, 2009—On the Glenn Beck radio program this morning Katy Abram, 35-year old mom, who asked Arlen Specter with boldness a question at a town hall meeting, poured her heart out to Glenn Beck. She was sobbing uncontrollably as she reported how the unscrupulous left had been calling her cell phone, emailing her constant threats and vile vitriol. The harassment didn’t stop there it bled over to her father’s business.
Past two days have been a whitlwind (sob)--I'm okay."
Hear it for yourselves, you decide! Sounds like shades of Sarah PaIin. I say Katy Abram is an American Patriot!

she's a hero
Katy Rocks! That Dem-Jerk on Hardball was a Left Wing Socialist agenda pusher... Who ever heard of "successful practical smart" socialism
And he slammed her for not being awakened until now ... SHE WAS ALREADY AWAKE BUDDY! SHE WAS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY ON HER & HER HUSBAND'S SHOULDERS!! They run a small business which pumps the majority of taxes into this country, they grew a family, and participated in the capitalistic system we have here... in America!!... Not USSR, Germany, China, or N Korea!
This guy was a total ass!
She did not know her own family income. She did not listen to Specter's answer after asking the question. She has no idea what the constitution says . She does not have any idea what Socialism is. The she made the rounds of talk show commentary.
No sympathy here. If you make incendiary statements be prepared to back it up with facts and not hyperbole.
OH - and Glen Beck is an ass who lies for a living.
Which elementary school did you and Katie flunk out of?
Maybe she shouldn't have gone on TV and portrayed herself as such an ignorant, talking point spewing hack. She got some bad advice, much like how she got some bad information on everything else political.
Andrew: I guess you won't be taking Medicare or Social Security either will you. You'd better not or else you'd be a socialist and that is only 1 step above the devil according to reactionary freaks like you.
she clearly had no idea what she was talking about when she was interviewed yesterday on tv. she has never been involved in any American political cause or discussion and this is the one she is going to jump up for? She wasn't infuriated with torture or blowing money on a made up war, not mad about Hali-subsidiaries electrocuting soliders or the fact that we pay private industry soldiers way more money than the enlisted-but she's up in arms because fellow Americans might have health care-she seemed uneducated and frankly, she should quit the whining...she put herself out there. By the way, I am a woman so I can call it whining. lol
Andrew - that "Dem-Jerk on Hardball" aka Lawrence O'Donnell couldn't have been nicer to her. It seemed to me that he almost felt bad for her having to put her on the spot to try to explain her positions. It was clear she had no idea what she was talking about.
Signed - a small business owner who employs 19 people and provides health insurance but is looking forward to the day when we have a public option that will drive down the cost of our premiums.
I say she had absolutely no good points. And she didn't even listen to the response to her question. LOL hilarious
"Hitler gained popularity with his cries for a return to traditional German values." KATY ABRAM, AT THE TOWN HALL MOBBING OF SENATOR ARLEN SPECTER: "What are you going to do to restore this country back to what our founders created, according to the Constitution?" Perhaps education should've come first on the agenda... if we followed this woman's advice, she wouldn't have the right to vote anyhow. Go figure.
I say Bravo to Katy. It figures the dems and their followers would bash her for speaking out. All of you Obama lovers should wake the hell up.
Where the hell does racism even come into to you idioits! Any time someone speaks out against Obama and his policies they are called racist, please get your heads out of your butts.
Sorry about "you." Comments got out of order. I agree with Frank and SmarterGal. Every time I replay the video on msnbc.com, I am more stunned by not only Katy's lack of knowledge, but also by her disinterest in gaining knowledge about the healthcare plan.
what a brave woman. she definitely speaks for the majority of us. it's so funny how the people that don't agree with her are trying to make her look and sound stupid. thats just like a dumbass liberal
The Know Nothing Party is uprising.
Speak for yourself Leslie.
This woman is an uniformed idiot.
Is this like the lady who cut a backwards B in her face? Stop it now. Stop trying to invent things it never works... What in the world have we come to? Are we seriously willing to become a Hitlerian type of society where propaganda reigns supreme? Health Care for everyone is not a Nazi plot its what most civilized and progressive nations offer its citizens. The excuses I have heard are either selfish "Let them eat cake" type or the deeply disturbing and sinister outright lies for no reason other than disagreeing with someone. Are we so filled with our sense of righteousness that we will lie and incite? What next murder? It is no longer Dem's versus Repub's it is right versus wrong.
She should never have gone on the show. She showed how she needs to educate herself more to determine what is truth and what is lies. She made a fool of herself and I feel sorry for her being so stupid and so unaware of what has been going on around her over the years. She is CLUELESS!
Too bad.
It's not "your" country.
It's "Our" country.
We take turns running it.
Last time we voted on who gets to drive Obama won by more than 10 million votes and an electoral landslide.
And yeah he's a Black American.
Deal with it.
So if your mad because you don't know the difference between "socialism" and "losing" maybe you should look back at the last 8 years and ask yourself after Chads in Florida, 9/11, two wars, one based on lies, 3 trillion dollars for the rich & war profiteers and Katrina....why weren't you Mad then?
People who are saying that Katy is not educated fell right into the trap that the Hardball hack intended. A few days ago she was getting her kids off to school and after asking a simple question she is on national television. She was nervous and emotional. I can't tell you how many times I have been put on the spot and everything I had learned and planned to say went right out the window.
The real idiot here is the Hardball interviewer who claimed Obama never said he wanted single payer! Say what? Where has this guy been. Obama spent most of his time campaigning on the fact he wanted a single payer system. I mean, come on, we are not living in jungle. All you have to do is visit Obama's many supporters and the hours of footage of Obama speaking to unions, ACORN, and the many campaign speeches.
"A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right." -Thomas Paine
Is this all a joke? I can never tell what's real or satire anymore. Surely with everything going on in the world, Americans cannot be this upset about a plan to give the poor and needy optional access to some medical assistance... it's a joke, right?
Great Hardball interview fully exposed her. She dosen't have enough health insurance, makes over a $250,000 or is clueless, and can't answer if Medicare and Social Security should be repealed (well, they are single payer government run systems and that IS Socialism).
EXPOSED
Next Teabagger, please step up. Your turn to be exposed as clueless.
We have awaken Katy Abrams "The Sleeping Retard" who wants to go back to 1776 and build upon our founding fathers. Katy "The Sleeping Retard" I have a time machine that will take you back to the "Real America" anyday you like to go......
And let's remember that we are all transplanted Americans the only real Americans are the Native Americans, like Dr. Joseph Medicine Crow who was given the Presidential Freeom Award.
Hang in there, Katy! You are such a brave lady and a hero to so many Americans. The whole country got to see the tactics the Liberal Media use to intimidate anyone who opposses their views. We will win this as long as everyone has the nerve to do what you did. Thank you!!!
Leslie: I am an American my family was brought in shackles and built this country. And I can tell you I don't want to go back to the original "Constitution". So Katy "The Sleeping Retard" does not speak for me and 100 of my family members.
Janet: The only thing you will win is an award for being another "Sleeping Retard".
Go Constitution.....and you should help your neighbor and I pay 5,000+ in health deductible until my child gets really sick and my parents will get Medicare (socialism) and wars are going on all the time so it is common.....And I speak for All American people under the Constitution and George Washington is turning over in his grave blah blah blah....
Bless: Katy Abrams is a zero, a zero, a zero. Palin/Abrams 2012
Katy went from a "Sleeping Giant" to a "Weeping Bafoon" in only two days grow....Priceless.
Typical to see so many liberals who are trying to tread on others Liberty. Such a shame that most of you have not read the House bill. FREEDOM OF SPEECH MEANS ALL SPEECH, NOT JUST YOUR OPINION.
Jam: Typical of all you repoes to thread on the Constitution.
When we are not in war, killing innocents, lynching, lying, stealing, and bankrupting then we need to go back to the Original Consitution because We Are the Only American People and my great granddaddy from Ireland fought for this Country and no one can say anything...blah, blah, blah.
Take Katy and all the like back to 1776 so the America I know can make some progress. Good luck finding healthcare I heard the "leeches" make good medicine.
Nationally, support for the health care reform plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats have fallen to a new low. Just 42% favor the plan while 53% are opposed. Other data shows that 51% fear the federal government more than private insurance companies. Forty-one percent (41%) fear the insurance companies more. Overall, 32% favor a single-payer health care system for the U.S. while 57% are opposed.
Billary: Who takes these polls and are you really a poll chaser. I am 100% in favor of President Obama administration of healthcare reform--no one called or asked me? Why? Out of the 3,000 people polled there are 300million people living in the USA. Have they done a poll with all the people who voted in the 2008 election?
Katy You are wonderful! James Madison was my Uncle and I know he would be proud of you! I like you are a stay at home Mom trying to raise 4 patriots.
The Left resorts to name calling when they don't have the facts!
Here is some ammunition for you: Medicare is 37 TRILLION dollars in debt
Obama has Quadrupled the debt since January! Since he has been in office he has added 1.6 trillion to National debt!! The Fed just ask to raise the National debt to over 12 trillion dollars. You understand what this means to our children! Thank God for using you and remember they crucified Jesus and he was perfect!!
Now the truth on Katy Abram "Weeping Bafoon". Bafoon is part of Glenn Becks 9-12 project and has been since Feb 2009. She stated that she has never looked into politics until the "Sleeping Retard" awoke. She is a plant against Healthcare Reform and is a liar. Anyone who is not a "Constitution" throwback google Katy 9/12 project.
Madison: Stop the lies. Bush had a 1.7 trillion in war debt for a war that we should have never been in as well as they lost 19 million (cash) in Iraq. Thank God for using you and remember they crucified Weeping Bafoon and she was liar!!
The Constitution still holds true treason.
Now the truth on Katy Abram "Weeping Bafoon". Bafoon is part of Glenn Becks 9-12 project and has been since Feb 2009. She stated that she has never looked into politics until the "Sleeping Retard" awoke. She is a plant against Healthcare Reform and is a liar.

Retarded asleep
You are asleep! Wake up and read the facts here . Go to finance.yahoo.com/news/Federal-deficit-higher-in-apf with the facts!!
I was wrong we are 1.7 trillion dollars in debt since January
May I remind you Bush was in office for 8 years!
Madison: I check you on reporting incorrect facts (thanks for admitting) but I am just talking about Bush's war 1.7 trillion in 6 years on the WAR Alone and 19million lost in cash in Iraq. So in saying that 1.7 trillion over a 10 year period to keep people healthy and get more insured is a drop in the bucket. Maybe you suffer from the Sleeping Retard syndrome like Katy Abrams the Weeping Bafoon. Or maybe you are part of the Glenn Beck sideshow "We Are the Dopes"?
Katy Abrams is a liar she is part of Glenn Beck 9/12 We Are the People project and is a plant. She has been a member since 2/2009 when she stated that she never had any affiliation with politics. But the Weeping Bafoon is so crazy that she has a picture of her WHOLE family on her member page.....
Hey Greg, great article. I can see you have several intellectual giants commenting today. They are humorous though, everyone knows though that Bush did his part to create a deficit and the Obama admin., added much to it and is now monetarizing the debt. Can you say hyper-inflation? Then even funnier, they believe a government that predicted Medicare to be 50 bil., and was 100,000 percent off is estimating correctly?
Cummon, who are you kidding here? The only way to reduce health care costs is to cut service. Hello trees! Forest here! wake up - look at England, Canada, Massachusetts all,yes ALL of the soviet bloc nations - collapsing or re-privatized healthcare systems!
lets see - the Gov can't predict costs accurately (no successful example), can't manage business (no successful example) and has put us in debt that may possibly sink our nation (Both Bush and Obama) and they want... more???
Most chimps know more than that.
I was telling Katy that Obama has spent 1.7 trillion dollars since JULY 2009!
Evidently You didn't want to bother reading finance/ yahoo .news
He is spending way too much! You seem to be bothered with the deficit
Does Obama almost spending 2 trillion dollars in a year bother you ?
This is why Katy and I are upset! I don't know why you call me a liar seems We are on the same side wanting Gov't to quit spending money they don't have!! By the way you can see facts about Medicare 37 trillion dollar deficit
by visiting cms.hhs.gov. This is letter to Pelosi from Timothy Geither about how Medicare is running out of money and about to hit spending limit
I hope this helps..Blessings
Madison: My problem is that no one was complaining when I was during Bush Administration and over 7 trillions of debt he put this country into. Now you want to complain--makes no sense. Anyway this is about Katy (Weeping Bafoon) who was not honest with the American People. She is a Glenn Beck spy who has been a member of the 9/12 and "We are the People" since 2006.
Madison: Also, since you are friends or feel for Katy the Weeping Bafoon. Tell her that is is not nice nor kind to pray that we repeal the Constitution. If you or her know anything about the constitution--woman would not be allowed to vote--slavery would be back in effect--no medicare--no social security--no roads--no public education--no military (paid). During your 9/12 meetings mention that because it really gets under people nerves.
Asleep- the people were very upset with Bush's Debt!
Why do you think Democrats won all 3 branches of Government!
However Obama has spent 4 times more than Bush in a year!( I can send you that chart too but this website won't let me post links)
You don't seem to trust Government .
Neither do I
Then why do you trust Government with your healthcare?
Especially when they will access to you Medical records.
Does this not seem like a loss of Civil right to you ??
Bless your Heart!! Katy loves the Constitution and I am glad you care about Civil Rights. Madison wanted to deal with slavery but knew Constitution would not be ratified if issue was included. So he trusted the people to deal with issue in future.. I do not know Katy but think she is brave to put up with so many threats for asking a question. Doesn't a Conservative not have freedom of speech! Why are you so angry? Are you sick and need medical care? Did you know you can go to any Hospital and they cannot refuse you care even if you are illegal alien! I hope you feel better
Madison: Why did Obama spend 4 times more than Bush?
Bush (first) had bailed out the banks. Fannie and Freddie were in shambles -- should we had let them go. Then the Auto Industry again in shambles -- should we had let them go. Now the American people who lost their jobs, savings, homes, and medical (you following me) -- should we let them go. Obama administration had to spend money to save the U.S from crumbling lets remember this all was under Bush we were living on a deck of cards and when it came crashing it was not pretty. If I was the President, I would have done the same. Or should we let those who fell on hard times suffer. Apparently Katy the Weeping Bafoon said that the Constitution and founding fathers wanted people to help people unfortunately It is the Government helping people. I pray that you will always have wealth and health BUT in the real world S**T happens.
Madison: I hope your comment about medical and illegal did not pertain to me. I would like to clear the air. I am gainfully employed and have a very comfortable life. I am not an illegal alien and do not need the Hospital to get medical coverage. Why do you conservatives always think someone is broke unlike Katy Weeping Bafoon looks like white trailer trash. Again, I do not take anyting for granted and I give back to my USA. I will give the coat off my back to someone who doesn't have one because I have 10 more and my belief in the Lord is that "he can give it and take it away. A scripture for thought--because it appears that you only think about you-- yourself-- and you that is the conservative family principles.
A small victory !!!
WASHINGTON – Key senators are excluding a provision on end-of-life care from health overhaul legislation after language in a House bill caused a furor.
Madison Descendent: Also Sarah Palin and Johnny Isakson both republicans felt that "end of life" discussion was important and both were proponents of the "end of life" provision. Oops....
Your victory is against your own constitutents. But I believe there will be Healthcare Reform that will be victory.
Progressive and Liberals we have a job to do--Did you know that Katy Abrams (Weeping Bafoon) is a liar she is part of Glenn Beck 9/12 We Are the People project and is a plant. She has been a member since 2/2009 when she stated that she never had any affiliation with politics. But the Weeping Bafoon is so crazy that she has a picture of her WHOLE family on her member page.....
