A handful of anti-health care protestors disrupt Democratic Rep. Kathy Castor at a Tampa, Florida health care town hall sponsored by the SEIU and State Rep. Betty Reed:

As you can see in the video, the claim that protestors were systematically blocked from entering the room is false. (Both supporters and opponents of health care were blocked from entrance due to capacity issues, but both sides were allowed access to the room until it filled up.)

The full video of Castor’s speech can be found here. You can watch more raw video of the wingnuts disrupting the event here.
