Hecklers Interrupt House GOP Presser: ‘You Guys Are Worthless’
by Noah Rothman | 3:31 pm, October 1st, 2013 video 125


The House Republicans appeared before the press on Tuesday in front of the Capitol Building to address the government shutdown. During the press conference, a group of hecklers attacked the Republicans hurling insults and saying that the GOP cannot govern the country. “You guys are worthless,” one heckler said.

“At 1 o’clock last night, we gave them everything that they wanted,” declared Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) as a heckler tore into the GOP. “We gave them the chance to sit down and they turned us down.”

This explanation failed to satisfy the hecklers who continued to pepper the Republicans with insults.

1. I disagree with the term "heckler".

These are concerned citizens and they shouldn't be dismissed as drunken disruptors of a comedy act. In this case the comedy act is the drunken disruptor.

9. To be fair, the concerned citizens weeerrrre in the presence of comedians. OK, presence ....

of clowns.

2. I love how

that one guy tried to shift the protester's blame to Harry Reid. They basically want Democrats to compromise on an already compromised health care bill! Fuck that.

3. "we gave them everything that they wanted"... "We gave them the chance to sit down"... WTF?

I am pretty sure a chance to sit down is not what anyone wanted... Lying fuckers.

4. I'd call them vocal citizens and they have my thanks.

I know many on DU are strongly opposed to interrupting any public figure at any time as a political action but I say fuck that, these are Great Americans calling out worthlessness when they see it. We should all be there doing the same!

5. K&R

6. The truth speakers showed up. Cool.

Nothing like speaking truth to power.

7. This thread needs a graphic..

8. I'm hoping for some shoe throwing. Or maybe rotting produce. n/t

10. I beg to differ with these "hecklers"

they are not worthless, they are the most effective terrorist organization known to man, their tactics are far more effective than any of the terrorists our military is fighting.

They have managed to accomplish what al Qaeda only dreams of.

Their War on America has costed the United States more lives than all other terrorist organizations combined
