[n2doc]

[IrishAyes]

24. President Obama chose his running mate well.

8. Another asshole gop rep lying to the American People..

"The Park Service should be ashamed of themselves," the congressman said.

"I'm not ashamed," replied the ranger.

At that point, a crowd of onlookers got involved. "Ask those questions of the people who aren't passing the budget," shouted a voice from the crowd. "That's who you need to ask these questions to."

"This woman is doing her job, just like me," shouted another. "I'm a 30-year federal veteran -- I'm out of work."

The man, wearing a bicycle helmet, at this point was face to face with the congressman.

"Well, the reason you are is because Mr. Reid decided to shut down the government," responded Neugebauer, referring to the top Senate Democrat.

"No, it's because the government won't do its job and pass a budget," the bicyclist responded."

Notice in the video, how quickly the Republican Congressman retreats when confronted by other members of the public having lost their jobs due to the Republicans' total disregard for "We the People."

Kudos to Vice-President Biden.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.

[SunSeeker]

29. Yeah, as soon as someone called him on his shit he was outa there.

But he was fine bullying a defenseless park ranger who is trained not to snap back at the public even when they are verbally abusing her. Evil, cowardly man.

[Uncle Joe]

30. If those World War II Veterans had followed that coward's example,

Japan would probably have won the war and Germany would have at least stretched it out longer.

[Paladin]

16. A thousand thank-yous, Mr. Vice-President.

And fuck you, Rep. Neugebauer. Where you breathe. I never dreamed that any politician could make Louie Gohmert look classy by comparison---but you managed to do it. I hope that shameful incident at the WWII monument burdens you for the rest of your life.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. Where's he from?

Probably a safe district.

[sammytko]

36. yes, very safe - far west texas

[Rex]

17. Not going to put up with the BS!

Thank you sir! Not having any of it from the GOP!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

19. Sad to say

The rep comes off like a stereotypical ignorant southerner.

[ffr]

21. The adult in the room, once again.

Joe Biden.

[Tanelorn]

22. I bet you will see fewer congressmen doing publis walk and talks

[Spitfire of ATJ]

27. I wonder if she got all weepy at the thought....

No Republican would even CONSIDER this.

They would consider it "lowering themselves" to act respectful to someone this "minor".

[edbermac]

28. Check out his Facebook page. And his 'baby killer' remarks

They're tearing him a new one. And someone pointed out that our hero has never served in the military.

https://www.facebook.com/rep.randy.neugebauer

Also this incident I saw on wiki, I don't think the ranger will get an apology anytime soon.

"Baby Killer" remark
On March 21, 2010, during the debate in the House of Representatives of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Neugebauer yelled out "Baby killer!"[6] The remark was believed to have been directed at Representative Bart Stupak of Michigan, a leader of the anti-abortion Democrats in the House, who was discussing a motion filed by the Republicans. While immediate inquiries began to determine who shouted the words, more than 12 hours later, on March 22, 2010, Neugebauer publicly identified himself as the person, apologized for the incident and argued that his words were "It's a baby killer", referring to the bill, not Stupak himself.[7][8] However, reporters and others in the room insisted Neugebauer precisely shouted “Baby killer!", referring to Stupak.[9] Stupak said that he does not “buy” Neugebauer’s description of the outburst, said his words were “very clear”, and believes Neugebauer should apologize for his remark on the floor of the US House.[10][11] In contrast to Neugebauer's "baby killer" comment, Stupak and the Politifact watchdog group agree, "there will be no public funding of abortion in this legislation" that Neugebauer detests.[12]

33. LOL, he has a lot of deleting to do when this is all done...........n/t

[Historic NY]

31. WTG JOE...

[surrealAmerican]

32. What did Randy Neugebauer think he was doing harassing that Park Ranger in the first place?

Did he just want to see the faces of people he was hurting - to get off on their pain or something?


The VP's apology was a nice gesture.

[ScreamingMeemie]

37. Kicking for our distinguished Veep...
