I followed the "Billionaires for Wealthcare" around as they cheered alongside the 1.75 hundred-million people that showed up for the anti-healthcare reform rally organized by Michele Bachmann and the Republican caucus on November 6, 2009.

The Billionaires are known for their light-hearted, fun way of poking fun at the conservative message. Unfortunately, what is often lost in the press they generate is the dangerousness of the environments they put themselves in. Once the tea-baggers figure out what is going on, things can get ugly in a hurry.

This video culls just a few of the edgier moments from the November 5th adventure.

[defendandprotect]

1. Must be lucky teabaggers not out of work . . no one in family w/o health care?

Amazing -- the insensitivity!!!

[ooglymoogly]

43. Where does the OP get his figures....The official park service estimated

was 4 thousand who attended the "rally", though the pugs are deluding from hundreds of thousands into over a million.

[HughBeaumont]

45. I think it's a joke, making massive fun of their inflated numbers.

[Turborama]

49. Correct

1.75 hundred-million is a made up number, just like all the stats that come from the reich wing.

[Tx4obama]

2. I wish that...

they had chanted 'get rid of government supported Medicare' more than they did.
That is the one issue that would really help drive it home to the idiots that they are on the wrong side of the issue LOL.

[bjobotts]

3. Is there any doubt of the hatred toward dems these corporate supporters demonstrate

[bjobotts]

5. College kids who haven't worked a day in their life living off their parents-stupid

[bjobotts]

6. Describe Marxism...it's closer to Bush.The whole world but US must be Marxist

[bjobotts]

7. Busing in stupidity.If only they didn't have to return to haunt the rest of us.

[bjobotts]

8. 60 buses carrying all expenses paid 60 passengers each=3,600 people

[bjobotts]

9. so only 400 people showed up on their own..Captain crazy Bachman and the Beckshirts

[dmr]

14. And they were given signs to hold and donuts to eat as they came off the buses

Grassroots, my ass.

Gotta hand it to the Billionaire's sense of humor. "We got mansions, and yachts, and WOMEN!"

:rofl:

[zoff]

13. The comeback was superb ...

.. "We don't need to work, you work for us."

[KansDem]

48. I agree...shades of the late 1960s (nt)

[tmyers09]

4. Oh man I wanted to punch that goblin looking woman with the big glasses.

"I'M FROM STATEN AYLAND NEW YAWK"

[The Wielding Truth]

12. They are so confused. It's the perfect way to counter the Rush brainwashing.

This really knocked them for a loop.

[Cirque du So-What]

24. She revealed another common attitude among the teabaggers

when she condemned the 'college kids' at the end, before the video cut off: anti-intellectual reverse snobbery. I first encountered it back in the Vietnam War era, when know-nothings who didn't have the wherewithal, the ambition, or the intellectual curiosity to attend college, would condemn those who wanted to get an education as 'overeducated dumbasses.' I see things haven't changed.

[Cirque du So-What]

25. I hope cooler heads continue to prevail

during these confrontations - and you know they will keep occurring. The last thing we need at this point is violence, and gawd forbid one of these teabaggers get their false teeth shoved down their throat and become instant martyrs for their cause. Things could go downhill in a hurry if an elderly person were to get injured at one of these sideshows. Undecided people could become more sympathetic to the teabaggers if a 'little old lady' got hurt - nevermind that she may have been woofing her horrible breath into someone's face beforehand, spitting and cursing. What matters is the exposure her injury would receive afterward and the sympathy it could generate.

Maybe I need to shut up about this; don't want to give FAUX or the minions in Dick's Armey any ideas for a 'false flag' operation.

[tomm2thumbs]

10. bitterness is a sign of lack of sex - poor little right wingers need some luvin'

I bet at least 10 people in that crowd got laid that day. Am I being overly optimistic?

[Turborama]

11. How many do you think have never got laid?

If any of them have, it was probably purely for procreational purposes, not recreational.

BTW the 10 that got laid are most likely the Billionaires.

[tomm2thumbs]

15. '10 were the Billionaires' bwahahahahaha

true, true - I know my sister is a bitter, unsexed Republican. Perhaps the Democrats' goal should be to get all the bitter Republicans laid and make the world a better place.

[tomm2thumbs]

16. 'The difference between Jello & a Republican...'

Jello moves when you eat it.

[Systematic Chaos]

18. +100

:rofl:

[Beams1969]

19. What was Robin William's line in Good Morning Vietnam?

You are in more dire need of a blow job than any other white man in Asia! Same sentiment definitely applies here.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

42. they get laid, but some have to wear diapers or tap toes or molest young pages

do other bizarre stuff. Like some of our US congressmen.

[tomg]

17. My favorite lines:

Tea baggers question: "What pages of the 2000 report did you like the most?"

"Billionaires" reply: "The ones that we wrote."

Perfect

[otohara]

47. LMAO

Thank you Billionaires for Wealthcare. You guys and gals rock, rock, rock...

[DirtyDawg]

20. God I could never do what they're doing...

...cause that champagne bottle would be upside somebody's head in about two seconds...then we'd all die.

[mmonk]

21. You could shove it up their butt instead. Then they would be too busy

to retaliate.

[lobodons]

29. I hope it was fake champagne

Sure would hate for them to get a violation ticket of some kind.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

22. I guess living off handouts from your parents is only OK when you inherit millions from your family.

Paying no taxes of course because inheritance tax is communist.

Taxes are for the stooges like the ones ranting in the video.

[itsrobert]

23. One man is displaying a military ID

The pause shots at 4:47, 4:48, 4:49 show his ID and "Clearance" Security Entry badge pretty clearly. I just can't make out the smaller details. I'm sure the person with the camera has got a clear shot of it. I wonder what a military person was doing there in the middle of the day and how did he get excused to attend the rally? If he's on LEAVE, nothing wrong there. But if he's attending a rally during his duty day, he's stealing money from the taxpayer. He probably told his superior that he was going to a medical appointment (that would be Government Health care)

[rasputin1952]

26. The majority of those I saw on the video were either receiving...

or close to receiving Medicare.

More telling, was the woman who stepped back, the one from Staten Island, as soon as they shouted, "No Medicare, no government handouts". Her sudden reaction to reality was very telling, it looked like she got kicked in the gut.

The goomer w/the hat and beard was about as offensive as they get. Big military man, who I'm sure never made it much further than PFC, using the VA or Medicare, and not being capable of understanding that those are both government run health care plans.

4000 people on the Mall is a pretty small crowd anyway, especially since they were bussed in in droves...:D

[TheEuclideanOne]

27. The anger all started with a Secret Meeting where one Teabagger revealed "They are making fun of us!

That is really where all hell broke loose. I knew it would happen eventually. Somebody had to tell these idiots that the billionaires for healthcare are not on their side, but just making fun of their stupidity. When they found out, they would be really pissed. Those people that were so angry were a result of that.

[bbgrunt]

31. wow. It seems that most of the time these teabaggers

don't even understand the message of the millionaires--At least now they are beginning to realize they are being satirized. It must be opening a crack in their cement brains to realize that they are being made fun of. Good job!!

[FarLeftFist]

28. There sure is alot of fat people against Health Reform....

Until they get dropped because their insurance companies deem their fatness to be a pre-existing condition.

[bevoette]

30. gotdamn...they HATE "college kids"!

it drips off their lips like it's the worst possible thing in the world

wow

and i thought an education was a good thing

:wtf:

[bertman]

32. Bless those Billionaires for what they do. I sure as hell couldn't do it. Halfway through

the video I was so pissed I had to stop watching.

Honestly, I am astounded at how well the Billionaires handle themselves. As Dirty Dawg says, I would have succumbed to my tendency toward violence and used that champagne bottle on one of those fuckwads. That stumpy white-haired/white-bearded little shit with his starry cap is definitely of Medicare age. I wonder if he has refused to use it. Frickin' hypocites of the highest order.

Thanks for posting this Turborama.

[CoffeeCat]

38. What's terrific is...they use humor!

I couldn't stand there and argue with them--because they spew nonsensical Glenn Beck talking points.

However, you can make fun of them--by thanking them for helping the billionaires and making jokes
about yachts, caviar and writing the healthcare bill themselves.

It's brilliant.

That's why it enrages the teabaggers. You can't argue with the truth--when the other side is using
humor and a friendly attitude to showcase what a stupid bunch of duped asses you are.

[bertman]

40. Good point, CoffeeCat. Unfortunately, I'm one of those hapless souls who always thinks of

some hilarious retort A FEW MINUTES AFTER the fact.

:mad:

[Steely_Dan]

33. This Is Why...

I have backed way off. I'm reminded of the saying that "If I have to explain it to you, you wouldn't understand." Wake up people. These idiots cannot be reached. There is no reasoning with people anymore. After years and years of fighting these people, I think I've pretty much written off any hope of reaching them.

-P

[gtar100]

35. It might not be about reaching them

But more about exposing them for who they are. Imagine showing this on college campuses around the nation. Those "college kids" would get it right away.

I'm with you. These people are hopeless. To open a closed mind first takes humiliation, then humility. That's a tall order for these teabaggers.

[Voice for Peace]

34. hahahaha the message of the billionaires gets everybody all confused

[mdmc]

36. courage

[CoffeeCat]

37. These rabid freaks are amped up on Glenn Beck!!

Oh my gosh, these people are out of their minds with fear and ignorance.

I feel so sorry for them. They listen to Fox News, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh--and they're
so pumped up with misplaced rage based on lies.

It's a travesty.

These people doing the Billionaires For Wealthcare are amazing! I can't imagine
putting up with those people--they're like rabid dogs.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

39. With the exception of the Billionaires

ugliness abounds.

K&R

[PatrynXX]

41. Worked during college actually.

Got out of college and got laid off. Go figure. Can't wait to see that lady at the end homeless. Someone shoulda just start shouting "TRADITION"!!! like Fiddler on the Roof. Who ignored things until it happened to his family.

But then again it looked like a bunch of white people (I'm white) who probably hate blacks and jews etc.


Just checked Fox Gossip and the latest headline is Dems headed for civil war over health care. Except the Move On's version is different from Republicans. We vote different people in instead of changing one's mind in the middle. (where's Charlie Crist.. oh I never supported the stimulus.. really. so why was he standing next to Obama support the stimulus) thats where you've got the Conservative Party and the Republican Party.

Our version is still going to remain the Democratic Party. There's moderate Dems then there's Conservadems. Like say Joe Lieberman.


Maybe he can carry a tune and start singing tradition as well??

But seriously, this notion that one doesn't need reform until it happens to them.. straight out of Fiddler on the Roof. Wonder if that lady can see?

[HughBeaumont]

44. Bless 'em. I couldn't be NEAR a crowd of tits like this.

Guaranteed one, maximum five fist fights. And I'm not throwing my life away over pieces of shit. Irrational selfish fuckers who defend failure and want to deny a human right to millions make my blood boil.

Oh yeah, in 2007, these same types of pigs beat up a Gold Star Dad too. And assaulted a female photographer. And a demonstrator. All in full view of cops (pictorial proof of this) . . . who do absolutely NOTHING. Classic.

[drexel dave]

46. I don't know if I could have stood smelling that old fat boys breath

let alone the inclination to smash my forehead right into the middle of his teeth (a fabulous way to take someone down like a clown if they are all in your face).
