Wheelchair-Bound Woman Shouted Down At New Jersey Health Care Town Hall

Congressman Frank Pallone (D-NJ), the man who said that he'd step in should Gov. Corzine drop out of the New Jersey gubernatorial race, had his hands full at a town hall meeting in Red Bank.

More than 1,500 people showed up to talk health care, but things quickly turned ugly. Much like other unruly town hall meetings, the angry crowd held up bizarre and nonsensical posters while hurling insults at Rep. Pallone, and each other.

A new low for these meetings may have been set when the crowd shouted down a wheelchair-bound woman with "two incurable auto-immune diseases" who asked a question.

NJ.com has footage of the meeting:
