3. It's not like people who embrace the Tea Party thing are . . .

. . . known for their intelligence. I mean their leaders are Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck.

20. I think I'm going to wretch!

[libodem]

4. Can't reason with a drunk

Can't reason with a crazy person. Can't reason with irrational douchebags...er...teabaggers.:P

[Rage Inc.]

5. Makes it pretty clear.....

...who the REAL cripples are!

[DesertFlower]

6. they are despicable.

i believe in karma. they will get what's coming to them.

[bhcodem]

7. Countdown

Did Brian fill in for Keith occasionally a few years ago? He sure looks familiar.

[ihavenobias]

9. I'm not sure. He's on NPR now and he used to be on the Daily Show. n/t

[jgraz]

8. Reagan's Children

Sociopaths, every one of them.

[madmom]

10. I've read where some of them are saying these were "liberal actors"because THEY don't act like

that...:eyes: but the funny thing to me is, everyone of them I've had the "privilege" of encountering act EXACTLY like that!!!!

[ihavenobias]

25. Yeah, I read that too.

I also found a libertarian thread reacting to this video, I'm going to post it this weekend or Monday.

[Grassy Knoll]

11. Sad story....

I did like that you added sound to your intro though .

[peacetalksforall]

13. I can only think of three things - That poor baby in the sling surrounded by all that hate. The

hope I have that the man with the Parkinson's leaves that money thrown at him on the ground. That we should use this video as a weapon against the ruthless, greedy, gullible fools.

[pleah]

14. K&R I think it is good that it exposes those assholes for who they really are. n/t

[MerryBlooms]

15. These are the people

we're supposed to be finding common ground with? I'm sorry, not in this life time. After all the encouragement from fdl and Thomm Heartmann, I'd tossed the idea around, but after watching this spectacle - not a chance.

What a horrific display. How can ANYONE with any sort of human decency, find common ground with that!?!

[izquierdista]

16. Tea-buzzards

I have rechristened them, since they seem to have the compassion of a flock of vultures.

17. Persecution Of Disabled People In Nazi Germany

Here's why when I call these lunatic assholes out for being Nazis it's not just an off the cuff insult.

Presentation here: http://www.slideshare.net/ZoeG/persecution-of-disabled-people-in-nazi-germany

NAZI PERSECUTION OF THE DISABLED: MURDER OF “THE UNFIT”

The Nazi persecution of persons with disabilities in Germany was one component of radical public health policies aimed at excluding hereditarily “unfit” Germans from the national community. These strategies began with forced sterilization and escalated toward mass murder. The most extreme measure, the Euthanasia Program, was in itself a rehearsal for Nazi Germany’s broader genocidal policies.

The ideological justification conceived by medical perpetrators for the destruction of the “unfit” was also applied to other categories of “biological enemies,” most notably to Jews and Roma (Gypsies). Compulsory sterilization and “euthanasia,” like the “Final Solution,” were components of a biomedical vision which imagined a racially and genetically pure and productive society, and embraced unthinkable strategies to eliminate those who did not fit within that vision.

Throughout this Special Focus page and its related links, you will see translations of terms used during the Nazi regime; please note that although many of these terms are unacceptable or offensive today, they are included here as examples of Nazi terminology and the propaganda campaign used to justify mass murder.

19. K & R

[Enthusiast]

21. There are many

like the guy throwing money.

They have been thoroughly indoctrinated in the bootstrap theory, they can no longer consider any other position. They have forgotten about the "general welfare".

Ayn Rand + Limbaugh + Glenn Beck = ugly Americans that imagine themselves to be Christian.

[booley]

22. This is hardly unusual

I could put this down as some bad apples if teabaggers and so many other conservatives didn't do this on a regular basis.

Teabaggers began by going into town halls and screaming so no one else could talk. When anyone tried to tell their story about loved ones that had died for lack of health care, the teabaggers yelled them down.

And then we have Rush who attacks children for political purposes.

27. Thanks, I saw that.

Makes them look even more crazy and heartless.

24. My RightWingBro in law says The Parkisons Victim was an actor

He says it was all a big commercial and faked. Right. Like the right wing isn't capable of inciting that brand of hate? Must be "Actors" all over the tea party movement too.

[Quantess]

26. There is a video clip of the man speaking

at this link. It's pretty obvious he isn't faking.
