Tea Partiers Mock And Scorn Man With Parkinson's
Even by Tea Party standards this one seems pretty low. Report by Dave Harding at Progress Ohio.
Video shot by the Columbus Dispatch from today's Honk and Wave in Support of Health Care at Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy's district office contains a segment wherein the teabaggers mock and scorn an apparent Parkinson's victim telling him "he's in the wrong end of town to ask for handouts", calling him a communist and throwing money at him to "pay for his health care".
The segment starts at 51 seconds into the video.
Video and report from the Columbus Dispatch.
Here's a sampling of Teabagger "logic":
"I don't see anyone laying in the street dying. We provide care for everyone," said Janet Popa, 61, of Upper Arlington.
"No one is turned away," said her friend, Ruth Phelps, 50, of Upper Arlington.
The women and others noted that hospitals cannot deny care to those who show up at emergency rooms.
Supporters dismissed concerns about cost and expanding the role of government.
"If we can find the money to kill people in wars, we can pay for this," said a Republican business owner from Westerville who declined to give her name. "We are paying anyway (with charity care for the uninsured)."
Common decency has died in America.
statusquObama, change you can only pretend in
... infallible evangelical Christian-detecting supersense, right?
Pretty much sums it up.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
Of over population and living beyond our means. The mob will rule.
A Census worker here just had his car shot.And get this,a friend of mine who is also a census worker here,said that at a meeting,he heard 'workers' saying...."someones got to kill that ni**er!" Ah,Arizona.
....the fools do not realize,a population that can ,..... not paticipate .............in the 'economy'...,can not keep it viable!..........."we are listening,.......and we're not blind.,......this is your life....this is your time."
I said what I wanted to say, my comment will get scrubbed anyways.
So I'll just say I agree with you. 100%
i'm ed..were you replying to what i said?
....the fools do not realize,a population that can ,..... not paticipate .............in the 'economy'...,can not keep it viable!..........."we are listening,.......and we're not blind.,......this is your life....this is your time."
I was posting to parent but your post is disappointing too.
The Tbaggers are a heartless bunch.

... "that you do unto Me." -- Jesus Christ.
I think a whole lot of people were deriding Jesus the other day in Columbus. And they want to make this a so-called "Christian nation"? They don't know the first thing about Christ!
If this country really ever becomes a "Christian-nation" I'm like Limbaugh and moving to Costa Rica. Wait, I better check with Costa Rica first to see of they're one. Don't want to look like a limbaugh/fool.
is intended to be a factual statement
Christianity is the predominant religion, and Roman Catholicism is the official state religion according to its 1949 Constitution, which at the same time guarantees freedom of religion.
“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
Finding a country where religious occultism isn't a major problem is very difficult, more so since they probably all refuse to allow Americans in. LOL.
if you make it to NZ you qualify for Australia too, or vice versa. give it a try here, and if you dont like it you can always become a Kiwi :P
and contrary to what some might say we aint a 'christian' nation either, very low % of attenders (tho people do seem to nominate as 'christian' every time the census comes around). those that DO identify as such certainly dont behave in a disgusting fashion like this or Marshall tho. such people deeply offend me.
but still.... being a commie cos the man had Parkinsons? did the man get to CHOOSE if he developed Parkinsons? i seem to recall ideology is a choice, whereas Parkinsons and disabilities and so on are involuntary, more often than not.
have to agree with Oh Really - Health care NO! unnecessary death YES! they've proven Grayson right once again, the ideology is: Dont get sick, and if you do get sick, die quickly.
..Invest $50K on a farm or business, you'd get citizenship and permission to bring a car or truck into the country without the enormous tax burden that comes with it. Now, it's almost as tough as getting citizenship in this country. So, you're limited to three months and then you leave for a brief period and then can come back.

I'm from Ohio and was ashamed of what I saw on the video. I'm sure most of the Tbaggers are good people. Then you have those who want to play to the camera and show their ignorance such as those in the video.

The "Christians" in the Rethuglican party are showing their stripes in a spectacular fashion. Jim Wallis, a prominent Christian author (Rediscovering Values--On Wall Street, Main Street and Your Street) and speaker, recently said on a talk show (paraphrasing)that once a colleague took a Bible and cut out all the mentions of Jesus telling us of our obligation to take care of the poor, and it looked like it had been put through a shredder afterward. I am sure these "Christians" would want to follow the dictates of Jesus Christ, don't you think? After all, Who Would Jesus Mock?
“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
... also tried to engage Glenn Beck in a dialogue about social justice, to no avail. Media Matters has a sampling of Beck's replies to Wallis.
Beck can't be engaged in a dialogue of ANY kind. He's a self-centered, monosyllabic stupid bastard who wouldn't know a compassionate feeling if it bit him in the ass. Hence his current war on Social Justice practices by churches. Wallis is one of the few intelligent Christians on the air waves...along with Frank Schaeffer who wrote this:
Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of It Back.
The book may open some eyes and minds about the dangers of politics and religion…"If there is one book to understand where the religious right comes from, it’s that one.”
“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
[Shaking head in disbelief] Only in America will average citizens appear in public and scream "Health Care No!"
People actually want their fellow citizens to go without health care. They think dying of preventable and curable conditions and diseases is the way to go (for other people).
Is this a great country or what?
Welcome to social darwinism at its finest; these people believe that the only way they can survive is for a whole bunch of people to suffer and/or die.
It's got a real ring to it.
The thing that is so painful is knowing that if these bozos ever end up on the wrong side of the health insurance death machine, i.e., they lose their health coverage and then face a catastrophic illness or accident without any insurance to cover the astronomical costs of the care needed to save a life or restore a person to good working order, they will immediately discover the evils of our current system and the beauty of universal coverage with no exceptions.
Of course, given who and what these people are, they won't actually need to make the full transition -- selfish people are generally satisfied if they can get an exception that provides only for themselves. Screw everybody else.
Over the years, I've heard a handful of people admit publicly they realized the error of their ways only when the grim reaper showed up at their doors. It's more likely that most people will simply realign their philosophy with their needs and skip the part about admitting they were wrong or doing anything to try to help others. In most cases I think it's fair to say these people are basically just shitty people.
you left out "feeding all the hungry children of the world"!
I'm really really really really getting annoyed
With that G-d flashing ad...

I never see any of these ads I see people complaining about.

I don't see the adds,palin,rove,boner....crap.I know there is some for our side,i just dont look at them.I'm just glad John gets the right wing to fund this GREAT site.

i mentally block them out, or have a little chortle that they are funding C&L unwittingly...tho i do have to suppress a shudder everytime Caribou Barbie scrolls by....egh
I find some primal part of me wanting to do something like drive a car into their crowd and breaking every bone in their bodies, thereby causing them to incur immediate or future health care costs beyond the scope of their current understanding of personal wealth. I know this is wrong and I won't be doing this and do not advocate anyone else to do so, but it was the first thing I thought of when I finished reading this. I want to somehow force the shoe onto the other foot despite knowing it is beyond the realm of my rights as a human.
I find it is increasingly difficult to tolerate the intolerant. The moral paradox of the immoral is something that may only be answered through some kind of Zen Buddhism or something.
The narrowness of these peoples' mindsets is staggering. Like Joe the plumber complaining about Obama raising taxes (on his future rich self) when in reality his taxes were being cut.
We can't just make a wildlife sanctuary for them as they are many and armed. We can't educate them as they refuse to think. We can't ship them to another country as they are xenophobes. We can't send them into space as we lack the technology. We can't kill them as that would just be one of their ideas.
Thusly, I am at a loss. Any ideas?
Sterilization comes to mind.
Generally speaking I don't trust anyone making over 150K a year.
It really is an excellent idea and it's something they approve of when it's lower class ethnic minorities. Maybe if we got Paris Hilton and Toby Kieth to market it for us they would pay to sterilize themselves.
Rightard Impregnation and Infiltration Project
There was actually a proposed program to eliminate the Republican genes from the human gene pool by taking over the bodies of Republican family females, using them to grow people with IQs slowly climbing higher than the typical 70 of rightards.
The program never got launched successfully though several people tried very much.
I think you should steer clear of eugenics. Too many people think that progressives have a Hitler complex as it is.

“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
The Europeans threw them out.
Of course, if you ask American "Christians" they "left Europe to find religious freedom in the New World," but in reality the Europeans wanted to have nothing to do with their madness.
I recall their hateful rhetoric and behavior from the Civil Rights Movement.
Hateful Bigots.
When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?

that the people supposedly fleeing religious persecution were having witch trials not long after.
But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

It's outrageous that some cultists think that the solution to occult hate and stupidity is more occult hate and stupidity.

I'm a recovering Catholic who's now an agnostic. Religious fools irritate me as much as they do you. Just trying to indicate that the cultists are supposed to abide by ALL the things that are in the Bible--not just the ones they cherry-pick to suit themselves and their world view.

...if your looking things up online then you probably know the dictionary can be found there too. why you mentioned the weight of an unabridged dictionary is beyond me if your using the internet. and even on the internet a dictionary is still more "quick" of a reference guide than the bible. you could alphabetize the bible a million different ways online but it would still be a confusing and contradictory reference guide, making it a very poor reference guide. i'm not sure why you're trying to convince me the bible is a better and more "quick" reference guide than a dictionary. there is nothing quick about a bible. it is a book of mostly fiction based on myth that has no real definitive answers where a dictionary is the opposite, it is a reference guide in about the most pure form you could find one. not to mention as a grammar nazi and unemployed english teacher (fine, i'm an unemployed rocket scientist moonlighting as an unemployed brain surgeon) you would think you would know all this.
in the future i would ask you to make logical arguments or statements vs. just saying things that you think sound good as that is a pretty tea bag thing to do. here's another example: you said earlier that you didn't have a job. then you said you were a school teacher. then you said just because you don't have a job doesn't mean you don't have a degree. no one was talking about your degree, however evidence of your degree does not mean you have a job. do you see the flawed logic?
you said you wouldn't play anymore but then you did. keep digging i'm taking the lsat this summer so this is good practice.

not to be mean but if you're getting biblical the sun really doesn't "rise" as it is relatively stationary and as the flaming lips would say this phenomenon of rising is just an illusion caused by the world spinning round. god should know that.
... doesn't do your argument justice.
If the Bible said, "... for He maketh the Earth to turn beneath the good and the evil," or "... the sun to shine upon the good and evil," is it more valid?
Oh, and the sun isn't really stationary - it, too, has a proper motion within the galaxy, and the galaxy within the greater universe at large.

... but sometimes 'time wounds all heels' is the only thing we can do. Scoreboarding (keeping track of the evils done, wondering when their justly deserved punishment shall arrive) is typical of the 'we're being persecuted' Christian crowd.
One can only hope the edifice they've built on their shoddy logic collapses forthwith.
"We can't just make a wildlife sanctuary for them as they are many and armed."
That idea reminds me of one my brother had. (He thinks he's a racist, but he's really autistic.)
Anyway his idea was to take all the Blacks and the Mexicans and put them in Montana and Idaho.
Although I totally disagree with him, I'd love to see the look on Montana and Idaho citizens as you explain the new policy to them.

of the Bible that got cut out.
“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
Of course, it is. After all, that's from the New Testament, and the Christianistas only quote the Old Testament, particularly, the Book of Leviticus. That New Testament stuff is so full of charity, forgiveness, peace and socialism, don't ya know?

Evangelical Fundamentalists are Old Testament Protestants.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
Contemporary Christanics are conglomerations of "salad bar" mythology picking. Many Christanics don't know what's in their own classical mythologies, nor what's not in them. Extremly few even know the origins of their paper mythologies, gods, and goddesses, demons et al. or even know that there are extant "infant Jesus" books that were voted out of twhat they're being fed in the cult today.
Pick someone who thinks he or she is an "Old Testament" cultist and query them about what's in the OT, offer them extracts from Dante's Inferno or from Mithratic mythology that was pulled from the previous versions of Christanic Bibles, and not one Christanic cultist is capable of differenciating what is in the extant versions of the Old Testament from what is not.
Cultists are insane. It's a mental illness.
And I know we should kill all who pisseth against a wall.
Well yeah sure, that's a given. }:-}
... because the New Testament says that he who has a dispute with his brother should first be reconciled with him, then go to the temple to give their offering.
"But he who sayeth, 'You fool!' shall suffer hellfire."
Not only are we damned by our own genetics, we're damned by other people's genes since we're forced to live along side of those like these Tea Baggers whose DNA has been badly damaged.
... I'm genetically inferior, because I believe? Or superior because I'm a rational sort despite childhood indoctrination?
If you think you have invisible playmates, yes, no offense intended. Something is wrong with people's fetal brain development if they harbor such delusions, an artifact of their unfortunate genes.
... we are made of the same molecules that comprise the universe around us. When we seek to better understand those connections, we excel. When we insist on denying evolution because 'God is not a chimpanzee,' we spurn that connection.
But to say YOUR world is made less suitable by MY genetics would have me postulate that there's something wrong with your deity-free self-determination.
god is not a chimpanzee?
... the Bible attests that God made man of river clay. God is clearly not mud, nor a clay statue. Would it not be correct to say that God is the spark of life bestowed upon Adam, a force without physical form?
Otherwise, if God *is* a chimpanzee, did it take him longer to create the universe than it did to come up with the collected works of Shakespeare?
...be a chimp and bestowed the spark of life on adam with a magic wand?
the existence of god and any descriptions about him or her or it all fall into the realm of the unknown. the unknown is the unknown. you can guess all day long but it will remain unknown until it can be perceived. the concept of god is perceivable to varying degrees but the existence of god remains a mystery.
It's the five blind men and the elephant. We've all got part of the picture, but even putting those pieces together won't give us an accurate description. (Especially if God is made of pasta.)
...god was made of pasta.
is not a genetic anomaly. Religion is not simply innate, in that one is born WITH it. One is generally born INTO it.
If the parents are evangelical cultists, the child will most likely be one, at least until he/she can reason in a mature manner, and judge the value of being in the cult - this assumes that the brainwashing hasn't been too severe.
I just recently pointed out to my right-wing Evangelical neighbor the passage in Matthew (6:5-6) where Jesus condemns public prayer as the practice of hypocrites.
Of course she wasn't even aware of the existence of those verses, as public prayer (where the crowd is indoctrinated by the preacher) is the staple of Evangelical "Christians."
When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?
Not soon enough!
for that useful tidbit i will try not to forget
... as well as the part where Christ says, "... on that day, many will come before me and say, 'Lord, did we not perform great works and prophesy in thy name?' and I will say unto them, 'Away from me, evildoers! I know you not!'"
Yep, be not like the hypocrits, if I remember the segment from the King James version, and instead pray in their closets.
Christanics who are aware of that admonishment counter by saying that their Jesus mythos also instructed them to "hide not your light under a bushel."
is contradicted elsewhere in the bible.
check out evilbible.net
Anyone who says god is "pro-life" obviously missed all the times he asked cult followers to "rend the babies from the bellies"
... better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.
What good is the light of a candle, lamp, or flame if it is used to burn down one's house?
5"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
I understand all that. My comment was simply made to point out that these folks tend to focus on the more "vengeful" parts of the Bible, and god's vengeance (mostly played out in the Old Testament).
They use Christ's name and teachings when convenient.
As for your statement of the genesis of the Bible and Christianity in particular, I understand the theory. Unfortunately, the eye witnesses are all dead and I'm really not up to the debate right now.
One fact is true. Protestantism has had, and continues to have, schisms throughout it's history. It's why these folks are all over the map when it comes to their beliefs and message. It's also why they all cling to one or two basic principles across the more extreme groups (abortion & self reliance). It's the only way they can feel a part of a group.
In that way, you are correct in your describing them as a cult.
Fundamental extremism has existed in this country for as long as we've been a country. Their influence crests and ebbs. Eventually, their extremists views drive them outside of the mainstream and they drift back into obscurity. My expectation is that that will happen again. The only question is how long it will take, and what the fallout will be.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
Evangelical Fundamentalists + American Christianists = Regressive Teabaggers.
These rightarded Tea Bagging scumbags act like Scientology customers.
Even the end of the clip, where the reporter is claiming that he's found some reasonable voices in the crowd, is a distortion. The final speaker (a woman with a right wing point of view) makes unsupported claims that no one has had a chance to read the bill, that it will put small businesses out of work (sic) and that it will increase costs.
1. The Dems have gone out of their way, even delaying votes to give members of Congress time to review the bill.
2. The GAO has said that the bill will decrease costs (and lower the deficit).
3. The same GAO has indicated the bill will help to relieve costs to business, including small businesses.
So what authoritative source is this woman quoting from (other than fact-less Fox)?
Once again the know-nothing school of reporting fails the American people by leaving baseless claims unchallenged.
So what authoritative source is this woman quoting from (other than fact-less Fox)?
Jesus is the answer.
I'm sorry what was the question?
"I'll take Recent Mithratic Legends for 400, Alec."
The Mithraic Mysteries or Mysteries of Mithras (also Mithraism) was a mystery religion which became popular among the military in the Roman Empire, from the 1st to 4th centuries AD.
The most characteristic of these are depictions Mithras as being born from a rock, and as sacrificing a bull. His worshippers had a complex system of seven grades of initiation, with ritual meals. They met in underground temples, which temples survive in large numbers. Little else is known for certain.
“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
Exactly, the City of Tarsus was supposedly heavilly Mithratic, with Paul/Saul's father being an advocate, bringing up his son in the tradition.
Then there's the Goddess Ishtar and Isis, both of which are part of the contemporary Christanic Easter ritual, complete with hiding reproductive symbols (brightly colored eggs) from children -- also reproductive symbols, all of which is Ishtar/Isis worship.
Funny how all contemporary religions -- legitimate ones, not criminal enterprises like Scientology -- are all predicated upon human insanity going back 10,000 years of recorded history, all while some 30% of the world's populace has not learned enough to divest themselves of same.
Actually Tarsus was heavily into Hercules
Although anywhere there was a lot of soldiers would be Mithra.
And technically it's not Ishtar or Isis connected to Easter but Tammuz and Inanna (later Ishtar). But the name Easter, the bunny and the eggs seem to come from the Saxon Goddess Eostre.
Isis was more connected to the parting of the seas, and of course mother and child images.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
discussion about the gospels for why that is not a good answer :-).
What's amusing is that you're so very right. The Lazarus myth is taken from the Mithratic resurrection ritual. inserted in to the cult by Paul/Saul of Tarsus who was specifically tasked, according to mythology, with the destruction of the up-start Jesuah / Yewah cult.
Seems Paul/Saul was successful. Someone should inform Christians.
"Lazarus, come out!"
"No!"
"Why not?"
"I'm all icky!"
from "The Lamb", one of the funniest books I've ever read.
didnt the democrats explicity make the bills available online so people could see what was in them (i.e. no death panels, abortion funding etc)
know nothing news for know nothing folks. sad.
these people are absolutely clueless about the facts and the future. this lower rung tea bagger group are dominated by people who get off/feel good from exaggerating their stance/facts. this is CULTURE CLUB nonsense for many. many are/will become vulnerable in this country unless we reform health care insurance cost. the middle class are losing their health care insurance at a record pace. companies who provide health care ins. are seeing a record pace in premium hikes. people losing their jobs are turning to individual insurance policies they can't afford. as the premiums rise on average of 25% just for this year(2010) risk takers/people that no longer can afford and the younger demographics are DROPPING coverage shrinking the PAYing pool/participants.......raising prices. this in turn further harms our economy and will make it difficult to compete. reform is a must.
Jefferson said that a nation that is ignorant and free can not exist. These rightarded Tea Baggers advocate against not only their own self interest, or their childrens' best interest, but against their own country.
Ignorance is the default. We are all born ignorant. Willful ignorance like these Tea Bagging loons express is unacceptable, though. These idiots are profoundly mentally dysfunctional.
...some people will not understand that fire is hot until they are burned. tea baggers are these people. not until they are met with medical bills that are preposterous for a normal person to pay will they realize something is wrong with the system currently in place. we'll just have to wait.
