Tea Partiers Mock And Scorn Apparent Parkinson's Victim

no cars here but i've been handed the shit end of the stick.

That was the truth, and where we are going.

As long as we eventually within a couple of years have socialized medicine in the form of Medicare for all I'm for the shiftless bastards getting in done.

So why is it that none of these tea baggers were not pissed about the illegal war with Iraq? And insurance company's need to get the hell out of the healthcare business, people's health should be not for profit.

You are obviously drifting in and out of conscience ralphwaldo, somebody's health should not be for profit.

Have you any idea what the hell has been going on with your fellow citizens? 45,000 die every year because they can't afford healthcare insurance. Can you imagine 1,000,000 bankruptcy's every year due to medical bills. Come on you can't have that deaf ear!

I did not pull those facts out of the air, those are the real facts!

You really are a child, and very easy too spot! The mental awareness you don't have is quite obvious! Pay attention, Leave decision's like this too the adults.

Whoever makes the decision the American people want it. I would much prefer the public option, has your mommy or daddy explained that too you?

Nobody's perfect and you should know that! So when mommy and daddy give you the repugnant talking points you just read them over and over, or do you just shoot from the hip?

Definitely a child! End of discussion!

I don't mind making a fair profit but, a ceo of one of the big US health isurrures and gobling up other insurance providers one after anouther. and then giving yourself a bounus that would set up anormal family for ten lifetimes is wrong. especialy for those that are ill.

I have seen families living under overpass bridges that were catching squriles to eat and living on what they could find. I have seen people turn away from medical care because they did not have or could afford health issurance. These same people were to far away to walk to the free care clinic and probably to weak to do so. The wealthy in our state also put up a real fuss if there is any mention of a charity opening a free health clinic within fifty miles of their homes. They do die because they are downed by people who say get a job when there are not jobs to be had.

no one needs to prove anything to you. you should go find out yourself, its easy...ur in a computer aren't you? Your a perfect example of the point being made, you do not seek truth, you seek reasurance; I really do not see why someone has to "prove" to you that this video is factual. even ignorant bafoons can learn from fiction, and Jesus was a prime example of someone who tried to teach in parable. If you are going to go around accusing things of being wrong or ficticious, YOU should be the one to prove your point, no one here has to prove that the video is not acurate( though it looks and sounds like a duck). The video is a perfect representation of the argument being made against better healthcare, "fuck you". perhaps your little scuffle with whether the video is factual should be made between you, the poster, and current network. not FOR you. BTW: dodging and brushing off explanations to why your accusations are meaningless shows that you are a coward.

so basically their bigger nut cases then the others

Good to see you're on board for National Health Care Reform!

Not for the one they are passing now. But as Representative Kucinich said on Real Time last night, it's a start. When the patients needs are put before the insurance corporations bottom line I will consider it true reform.

are u quoting dead people?

Your affectionate embrase of this quote simply shows that YOU cannot tell apart truth from fiction. I will tell you with great certaintude that lies are ugly and disgusting and are always found out...the worst lie of all is a hypocritical false accusation based on nothing but remorse and ill will, something that neocons are usually always good at getting away with.

Yes, those people were assholes, but that doesn't justify government coerced, unconstitutional health care that actually goes AGAINST individual rights.

Yea, so we should yell and mock everyone with a disease because our government wants universal healthcare? You're logic fails.

please do explain your accusation... car insurance is government coerced, laws are government coerced, the constitution says that congress is to look out for the general welfare of the people...where in any healthcare bill that might pass does an individual lose a right?? you truely MUST be in favor of the public option, however the bills that have been carved out for blue dogs clearly favor large money supplying coorperations...

You clearly do not understand how the concept of fairness applies in this instance: we all pay the price! health care in america is free to steal, anyperson is by law garanteed treatment, guess who pays for that?? those that actually pay for it in good conscience have to pay much greater prices because of our broken EXTRA-socialist system put stupidly in place to satisfy the fears of cowards and the well-meaning of the nice... in any case, by your very realistic example i assume you are all for government mandates: either that, or for having the right to ask a patient for their debit card before giving them any life-saving treatment. in one of those choices more people are quietly put into body bags and disposed of.

Tea Party goers are a joke! Most of these people are big government warmongers, they just want their own version of tyranny....but then again, so do you.....

I feel with you though, I put myself inside the minority shoes all the time, because individual rights IS the minority! I do feel for these people that are excluded and discriminated against, we are suppose to be about freedom which requires tolerance. Never forget, the Tea Baggers are NOT libertarians by any stretch of the imagination. The 2007 Ron Paul Tea Parties have come and gone, the neocons took over and now it is just a republican feeding frenzy....

by your comment i get the feeling you are an anarchist, because clearly... Ron Paul wants his own version of tyranny. I am a centralist libertarian, but accusing oposers of neocons as tyrannists is simply not an accusation that i can take lightly,.

Quit encouraging violence, force, and coercion!

no, the same could not be said about "anyone" against the tea parties. some of course, but i'm talking specifically about the people on camera viciously deriding an ill fellow american; displaying absolutely zero empathy or compassion.

good god man, anything disagreeing with your preconceived notions is showing bias instead of logic. i didn't draw any conclusions beyond the scope of the video. it's entirely reasonable to say that in that video those two men display a lack of compassion and empathy. i'm certainly open to more information, and if it challenges my previous conclusion then i'll revise my opinion. so do you have the video of those two guys later apologizing and comforting the guy with parkinsons?

That's an assumption. Can't you see that?

Oh RWE, it's much more than this thirty seconds. It's every time they shout down anything or anyone that doesn't agree with their ultra conservative point of view.

Are you suggesting that they were plants? Denial is a long long river with swift currents and sudden deep eddies.

Did you flunk remedial math? Count again. Be sure to include the baby that is being indoctrinated. The man standing next to the alleged "planted ones" is holding the baby in case you missed it.

I think you're missing the point. Yes, it's a very short clip of what was a much longer event. However, it does not change the fact that that 30 seconds happened. Also, what good would it do to "sabotage" the Tea Party by appearing on a small video like this? How many people would this really reach? It doesn't make any sense. Your arguments are based purely on assumption; the video is fact that 30 seconds of real time took place, and this is what happened. I highly doubt that the three people "dropped character" after the video and went about not acting like jackasses.

I -NEVER- said I was going to judge thousands of people based on the actions of two. All I said was this was an example of an occurence at a Tea Party event. And it's more than that; if other people didn't agree or felt bad, why didn't they stop them? Mob mentality, yes, but 30 seconds can display more information than scratches the surface. Any good psychologist will likely tell you the same thing.

And I never said I was against them. You're again putting words in my mouth.

I know that guy throwing dollars is an asshole. What more do I need to know?

you too aparantly, apathetic agnosticism in responce to the video is really just indifference. 30 seconds and you already think its a conspiracy against you and your believes; instead of simply doing your reasure in it, or accepting the probability that it is what it LOOKS like, a small sample of whats going on...

Ralph, you are a hypocrite and your argument is void of all purpose. I still have faith in you however, i half expect that you will pop in a random responce that will say "fool! i tricked YOU!!! all along i was certain it was fake because i did my research on it... and i wasn't here just trolling and babling on my conspiracy theories!!! But infact trying to teach you not to fall easily to propaganda while demonstrating too that health reform is deathly needed and that arguments against it are really just annoying and irritating flips of the bird.

on RalphWaldo
Wow, the Cup is clearly have empty with this one; i wrote a reply to his "30 seconds" commment hoping that he was not a hypocrite... clearly he is. though most conservatives are...

But your assumption is to a much higher degree. Illuminated agnosticsim shows me that even though anything is possible, and nothing is certain, that does not give us the right to go around trolling everything we see... If you were me, I will go with the scientific(agnostic) perspective and say that i'll chose the least assumptions and STOP F***ING QUESTIONING THE VIDEO with absolutely no other reason than to support my Biased perspective that it is impossible for rich and conservative men to be assholes to someone who says they have parkinsons and want treatment for it rather than just free-yet-increased-expensive-for-others emergency treatment right before they die.

yes, because i would sooooo watch a fucking video of a homeless looking person sitting on the ground being ridiculed for halve an hour... how long must a video be in order for you not to randomly question its validaty with your conspiracy theories steming from your weakness and your fear?

Biden speakes really well, here and there the media gets their 30 second clip from his well intentioned lectures... Hypocracy is a great shield for stupidity...dont wear it out. If all i had were those few clips, like you seam to, in order to judge him than i may assume that he is a bumbling idiot...wait, no, if i only had those clips i would do my research. that's why i dont just have those 30 second propaganda drama spins by the media to base my assumptions on.

It's 'strategery' (strategy run-a-muck). Spin until the truth is no longer believable. The eight years of George W. and Karl Rove was complete 'strategery'. They were so despicable, it was hard to believe real Americans could do such terrible things 'in plain sight', with no accountability. Their shameful actions were so shameful, they made us all look bad! Them for doing it and us for not stopping them.

Who would have believed they could 'spin' us into starting a war of choice, with a country which had not killed one American? 'Strategery'

Keeping the current healthcare system is Not the "Will Of The People". The people (majority) elected the president in large part to give us a healthcare system available to ALL citizens. Of coarse he is ignoring the will of your "minority" that likes the system we have in order to put in place a comprehensive system for ALL Americans. You are getting mad about someone You did Not elect, so elect someone else next time if you can. We the majority will be waiting and will be voting for even more change to the system to protect the people from the Greedy corporations. There will be Plenty of commercials for you to enjoy paid for by your beloved corporations so it should be an enjoyable election season for you.

Oh come on! Every rally they're in produces signs that are full of hate, labeling and name calling. This is just a continuation of what most everyone else can clearly has become mob mentality. It doesn't mean that everyone opposed to the current health care bill behaves this way, but no one is stopping it - no one is standing or correcting the direction they're taking. Yes, videos can be edited, any fool knows that, but until you come from another angle and prove it has been edited, instead of a spun hypothesis, I for one remain embarrassed and disgusted. There is no way to to justify the display of hatred toward a man that had every right to be there and protest in his own way. Where's the compassion? Where's the respect for freedom of speech? Where is the intelligent dialog?

And this "Will of the People" mantra is getting old - it doesn't include everyone as it would make people believe by a long shot. The polls have gone back and forth on this issue so it's nothing but a slanted talking point.

Prove that the men taunting this man weren't jackasses first, then you might have a point.

JJ... go away before I tell current your back.

Is jammer mentally ill, just an ass hole, or all three?

LOL... big words from someone who has had up to 4 different screen names and keeps coming back to the same place he's getting kicked out from!!

Don't be mad, don't you see I care? I replied... LOL...

Me and Uni might not agree on much, but I RECOMMEND THIS!!!

Thank you for caring...

I know you are but what am I? You seem to have picked up your debating skills from Pee Wee Herman.

right, because it would be so much more healthy for me to go to your home and bring some books and mental exercises...yet again, your sarcastic words show your hypocracy. what? your going to beat your ideology into KSirys?? very brave of you indeed. well, bravery and stupidity are many times confused.

hi jammer!
