Dermot Cole is playing dumb.  Given the national press coverage of these so called " town hall " meetings he knows full good and well these meeting are now liberal set ups for conservative politicians . Liberals have set up questions designed to make conservatives look bad . They have no more interest in having their questions answered than a criminal does in locating a police station .  Cole KNOWS this , yet tries to paint the phony picture that Young and other conservatives are afraid to face the voters .  Liberals have a game plan when they go into these meetings on how they plan to disrupt the event and make the speaker look bad.    Liberals want to create the illusion everyone agrees with their position on issues when they don't---especially here in Alaska .   Sadly , the honest down to earth town meeting where average people can ask honest questions no longer exists thanks to liberals . Conservatives are wise and correct to have nothing to do with them. They are set ups .
