Christie was right on target as usual.

The only governor in the USA except AZZ Brewer who thinks with his fat!! She thinks with her wrinkles!!!

I’m going to defend Christie on this one. A military man and a student lawyer should know the code of conduct within a government facility. Whether or not you agree or disagree with the politician you are debating with, there must be some signs of respect for the politician. He is running your state after all. Also, I’m giving props to Christie for calling him an idiot. Though it be unprofessional, Mr. Brown was unprofessional himself and he deserved no sign of respect.

Gotta re-post what Kim wrote because it’s all that needs saying:

I don’t care if the guy was a war vet, or the man in the moon. He was obviously not there to ask a question and receive an answer. Chris Christie does have the bully mentality once in awhile because he does not always have the finesse we expect from a politician. This law student/vet/second coming/whatever was acting like an exceptional idiot, because even the average idiot knows not to heckle the guy with the microphone.

Well said.

Christie’s comment, “Damn, man.. I’m the govenor could you just shut up for a second!?” exemplifies a fundamental problem: Government officials believe they know best, and (in Mr. Christie’s words when referring to ex-Navy SEAL, Mr. Brown) we’re all “idiots”.

The “brilliance” of our leaders has created $ trillions in debt, all-but-broken entitlement programs, a non-exist energy policy, a breaking infrastructure, and damaged educational system…. clearly – our leaders do NOT always know best!

I am constantly astounded by the hubris of our public officials. If Christie is going to put himself in a public forum like this, AT LEAST show some respect to those who pay his salary!

FAT CHRISTIE PUTTING ON ASHOW AGAIN!

He’s a politician I love to hate! He’s the epitome of what my parents taught me about Republicans, way back in the 50′s and 60′s. Republicans are “fat cats” that don’t care about anyone else but themselves and their rich friends. In Governor Christie’s case he’s the “OBESE Cat.” He’s an example of the excesses of the rich at the expense of the rest of us. BTW, I’m a retired, 28 years service, US Army Infantry Officer. Not all of us are war mongers, aka the Navy pilot who fought from 30,000 feet (before being a POW) Senator McCain. They lead our service members into wars that can NEVER be won. But those wars make their friends in the military-industrial complex richer, including Lady Bird Johnson from the Vietnam War. Fat Cats who don’t care about anything but their greed, too much money and food, at the expense of the rest of us.

just becauce chris christie is a governor don’t make him God. i am a vet just like brown is and if i don’t like the b/s going on in this country and the scandals of
politicians i would sound off too. I stand behind my brother and if christie don’t
watch his mouth he’s gonna be up sh** creek.they are fighting in the other countries and i don’t mind fighting here lets do it

Oh I forgot ……….what is Mr Christie’s service record ? How much time did he spend in the combat zone ? Just another Republican ……..Lets have a war …..but YOU go do the bleeding .

What do you expect from a Republican ? If you disagree you are an IDIOT . ALL Republicans see it that they are the only opinion that matters and the only one that should be heard . Mr Brown had served his country and now that his service was over he was considered by Republicans to be of no further use .

It’s the mayor’s show; be courteous. If you want to shout like Springeresque trash, Navy SEAL or not, you deserve to be kicked out. Anyone who blasts Christie for his actions, I guarantee not one of you would have acted much differently had you been in the governor’s shoes.

The pothole problem in NJ has never been worse.

Any one in a public office should not call people idiots. However, the audience member was being very discourteous, rude, and was obviously not there to get his questions answered, but rather to stir up a shouting match. He was rightfully expelled from the meeting. If you’re going to act like child, then you should get treated like a child, regardless if he is a law student, or war veteran, or whatever. You’d think he’d have better manners being in the military.

I wasn’t there when it happened, and don’t see anything on the page to click for video. However, regardless of how the audience member behaves, a public official shouldn’t react that way. It’s unprofessional, and at the very least a fit of temper can be exploited by one’s political detractors.

Okay, I’m biased. I’m still upset with Governor Christie for suggesting the voters should decide whether the right to marry should be extended to same sex couples. Does he understand that the LGBT population is human?

Now I’m beginning to wonder if New Jersey’s governor is clueless about a lot of things.

Further proof Fred Flinstone is NOT presidential material.

put chris in the white house and he will press the button. he has no control of his feelings.the fat has gotten to his brain. he is not a man at all. he is starting to think his position as governor, he can say what he wants. fat pig he is. I would love to fase the fat man!

I don’t care if the guy was a war vet, or the man in the moon. He was obviously not there to ask a question and receive an answer. Chris Christie does have the bully mentality once in awhile because he does not always have the finesse we expect from a politician.

If you are the Governor of New Jersey, as Governor Chris Christie is, you are to be respectful of his office! Even if you disagree with the Governor on an issue there are ways you must conduct yourself. Mr. Brown, is in fact an “Idiot”

What’s the difference between Governor Christie and the Hindenburg­­?

One is an enormous bag of hot gas that caused one of the greatest tragedies in the history of New Jersey. The other was a Zeppelin.”

Chris Christi is a bully….every time I see him in an interview or meeting, he comes across as a thug! He called some members of the occupy movement “jokers” who want some kinda changes. Some may disagree with some of these interruptive measures, but we are in desperate times! Calling someone an ‘idiot’ is outrageous behavior for a public official! Then trying to justify the comment by telling a reporter “damn,I’m the governor”! He just admitted to using his government position to conduct himself as a rude dictator!!!

The man asked Governor Christie a question and then apparently refused to allow Governor Christie to answer. This is one time I agree with a Republican: the man is an idiot. If you ask someone a question, don’t try to override him when he’s attempting to answer you.

hey gov, your stock has gone waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down. the day you start calling war veterans idiots is the day your stock falls into the junk bond category. he may have been out of line, but you showed little to being an educated “man” with class. Have you worn the country’s uniform, served in a war zone, in harm’s way? I think not. you and rush limbaugh are in a tie for big bad mouth of the week. bash a vet & nypd in the course of 1 week (dad was nypd for 30+ years, a law school grad who served the last 12 years in the queens & manhattan courts). glad the only time i go through new jersey, it’s on an acela train.

I commend Brown for his service to our country! However, I do not believe he was a SEAL. They are trained to keep their composure! If Brown was out of line I’m all for Christie coming back at him; however, as a my Gov. whom I admire, don’t call a constituent an idiot out loud in public! Do that in private with your staff and family!

its hard to comment without being at the meeting, but if you ask the Governor a question at a town hall meeting you should give the governor the respect of being given the opportunity to answer the question. However, the governor should not have used the word ‘idiot’ because that is disrespectful to the vet, the governor should have said ‘unbelievable’ instead of ‘idiot’. So we have two wrongs here. So by operation of law when you have two wrongs, there is no right answer.

the gov was right, Brown was rude and acted like an IDIOT. thank you for your service but next time act respectful.
