Hmm, while it's widely quoted i dunno if there is audio/video to find

give me a bit to see if i can dig that up. If anyone wants to try as well it was in Simpsonville, South Carolina, by an unidentified person to congressman Bob Inglis.

Edit: it was reported by the Washington Post as happening on July 28 2009. While the Simpsonville town hall website keeps audio and transcriptions of its meetings, it seems to have purged all meeting records before 2015. Anyone else wanna take a crack at it?

The big one was a woman protesting holding up a sign showing that but there are many variants. Google image search “keep your government hands out of my Medicare” you’ll see a whole slate of them
