Is this the true face of the Tea Party?

[Tim]

Attacking a man with Parkinson's, calling him a communist and throwing dollars at him. Yelling that he should work for his healthcare?
Is this the true face of the opposition?

Would they prefer that he gets his medical care through the emergency department where they will ultimately pay for it anyway (paying much more that needed)?

Do you think they will ever look back on this video and be ashamed for how they treated him?

Yes that is the true face of it.
Ignorant people with ignorant ideals

 

[porterjack]

cannot view the video for now

but i am sure that sooner rather than later, some radical types will besmirch the name of the coffee party, with similar actions

nutjiobs on both sides, nothing new there

 

[Alien Allen]

You can find nuts on both sides. I went to a tea party locally last fall and did not see any of the fruitcakes. I think once the cameras get turned on it turns some into idiots.

 

[itsmeJonB]

and there was no tea

I love the picture of the guy at a TeaParty rally with a sign saying "keep your hands off my Medicare!". Did the guy know it's a government social program??

I guess you forgot the part they were gonna take away a half trillion from medicare??

Oh but not cut any benefits :24::24::24:

Good old fraud and waste. There is about as much chances of them dealing with fraud and waste as me getting a blowjob tonight

Actually I thought they were trying to reduce fraud in medicare which apparently is rampant.

Let me ask you a question, have you looked into this at all? Have you searched out the facts of how this is possible and by what means?

From what I have read and seen, this is possible. Cutting the waist and fraud in medicare, saving billions and not reducing the benefits.

Do you realize that the US government pays private insurance companies $177 billion in subsidies for medicare advantage? So private insurance companies are getting $177 billion to provide services already covered by medicare.
And that's just one example.

So what is this magic want they will use to root out all this waste and fraud??

That line has been used so old it is sickening. If they could have rooted it out it would have already been done. They will close one loophole and the crooks and cons will find another. And that will never stop because there is no way to prevent it.

So it is just another feel good message from the liberals that they will solve the money problem by rooting out the fraud and waste. never going to account for the amount they will cut. so benefits will be or the debt is just that much greater

For yoom, that's whom. Freedom's not always pretty, but it beats the hell out of the alternative.

Didja ever wonder if, since it's all so simple and doable, why it wasn't done before now, or did you just say "it must be Bush's fault" and stop any thought beyond that?

Personally I find this whole movement hilarious. Teabagging, where I comes from means putting your testicles in another mans mouth! 24::24::24::24:

Yup, which is why those that can't be arsed to find out what so many people are angry about call them that.

What better way to talk down about an entire movement of people than to belittle and insult them. It's the American way.

Examples would be helpful.

Examples would be helpful.

Homo-sexuals, pro-choice, empty kitchen activist women, liberals and basically anyone who does not follow their beliefs are labeled anti-American, terrorist lovers. For your sake I'll say that not all conservatives are radical extremists, but the conservative movement in this country is being led by those types.
