Working Themselves Into A Frenzy

by digby

Don't tell me that hate radio and Fox didn't have a hand in working this nut up. nobody in their right mind would normally want to kill someone over a health care bill.

People have been driven mad. You probably haven't heard the hideous racist telephone message aimed at John Lewis that was also released today.(I couldn't find it online anyway. Chris Matthews played it on the air:

Yes, Bill Ves, calling from (inaudible) I ain't gonna get no health insurance, tell that son of a bitch that, I ain't getting the damned health insurance. That goddamned nigger, don't tell me I gotta get some goddamned health insurance. I ain't paying no goddamned fine. Tell that nigger he can come put my ass in jail if he don't like it. Goddamn worthless nigger, and all them other niggers that voted for him. That nigger Obama and them white trash honkies that voted for that damned communist, socialist stuff. Dumb motherfuckers, Goddamn! I ain't getting the goddamned mandatory health insurance from some bitch motherfuckers! Goddamn bunch of nigger,white trash honkies, sone of a bitch communist who voted for this shit. I didn't go fight in no goddamned wart so I could be forced to do something I don't want to do. So fuck all y'all niggers. Fuck you John Lewis, you goddamned worthless, communist nigger.

update to correct typo, kp

[krispos42]

1. At least he called the insurance companites "bitch motherfuckers".

:eyes:

[sinkingfeeling]

2. So now we do have something to 'prove' the racial slurs, Mrs. Palin.

[Bitwit1234]

3. So tea bags are not the KKK

they can say that the reason they are opposing Obama and the democrats if because of policies, all the want, but the root of the problem is racism pure and simple. The can't stand a black person is in the white house, and add to the fact he is a democrat makes it doubly worst.

How these people can approve of the way bush and his administration ruined this country, debt debt debt, wars and more wars, loosing jobs and sky high fuel and gasoline costs. AND THE S.O.B. say they want this country back.

[frazzled]

4. If you set aside all the vile racist stuff ...

It sounds like a number of posters here who have written vitriolic, over-the-top rants about the "mandate" and being "forced" to buy health insurance. Instead of spewing by using the "n" word they substitute the "c" word (corporatist), with an equal number of "fucks" thrown in for good measure. But it's the same thing: libertarianism with the underlying rightist racism or leftist anti-corporatism peeping out.

[sinkingfeeling]

6. And if the caller wasn't lying, and he's a vet, then he's probably getting his health care via

that socialist Tricare or VA anyway.

[keepthemhonest]

7. Yes I caught that too.

He said he fought in a war.So he should have VA benefits,duh.He is probably being deceitful.

[G_j]

10. he fought in a wart

:shrug:

[Scurrilous]

23. If he had health insurance...

...he'd have some help fighting that wart.

[MilesColtrane]

15. Probably confusing his Confederate Civil War reenacting with real war.

[keepthemhonest]

19. LOL probably

or he's counting his militia group he is in.

[frylock]

9. yeah, those of us who opposed the health insurance bailout act of 2010..

like to throw the word communist around a lot too. yep, we're just like this guy, unable to articulate cogent arguments as to why the mandated purchase of insurance doesn't necessarily equate to being ensured of receiving actual HEALTHCARE.

[area51]

16. +1

Thank you.

[ecstatic]

21. The problem is the healthcare costs

Seriously, the "bailout" aspect is debatable. I paid what I considered high premiums for 2.5 years, yet when I actually got sick and needed surgery, the payout was more than 4 times what I paid in. So when congress declares that pre-existing conditions discrimination be removed, rates cannot be increased, and there can no longer be annual or lifetime caps, it's not 100% clear that Insurance companies are the victors here... even with mandates.

[kenny blankenship]

12. Ah yes, "If you aren't with us, you're with the terrorists - or the underlying rightist racists"

Nice.

Would you say that you and your -what should i call it?- your mode of argument above represent the mainstream of the Democratic Party today?

[Maru Kitteh]

5. Who's machine was this message left on? Bill who?

[Bluerthanblue]

8. the caller identified himself as "Bill Ves" - (think it's a typo in the

quote here)-

I believe this was left on Lewis' machine.

[Maru Kitteh]

24. I'm confused about where it was left but it's disgusting either way.

I'm wondering if this is the whole message. Hopefully whoever left this lost enough control to say something prosecutable. Time to lock these fucksticks up.

[pinboy3niner]

18. The caller gives his name as Bill, no surname given

The Hardball transcript (preliminary) has the recorded msg to Rep. Lewis beginning, "Yes, Bill, yes . . . ."

[HughBeaumont]

11. Ha ha, sounds like my dad.

Except he didn't fight in a "wart"; his kidney ailment was discovered in the post-draft physical.

[Enrique]

13. these people are so confused

how did Dick Armey and his pals get these people to think Mitt Romney's health plan is communism?

These people have no clue what they're angry about, but they are really really angry.

[YOY]

14. Well I am sure he has furthered their cause and won hearts and minds!

He does present uncanny logic and uses sound argumentive skills. How can one contend???

:sarcasm:

[MilesColtrane]

17. Indeed

An argument worthy of the Algonquin Appalachian Round Table

[branders seine]

20. what an ignorant dumbass.

Obama deserves our indignation, but for almost *exactly* the opposite reasons these cretins spew.

[Supersedeas]

22. more highquality RW rhetoric not to be condemned by the GOP leadership

[Viking12]

25. ..but, but, but Hannity said the teabggers aren't racist

..and there's no evidence to show they are....

[arthritisR_US]

26. his vileness and hatred leave me speechless. n/t
