About These Wingnuts

I haven't been paying a heck a lot of attention to these town hall meetings discussing health care reform as I was never really opposed to it in the first place but the big stories seem to be all these protesters with their photo-shopped Hitlama posters and their AK-47s strapped to their backs. Look I get it...first amendment, second amendment...blah,blah,blah. I'm not one to deprive anyone of bearing arms or even speaking despite how insane they may be but for fuck's sake can we demonstrate accurately? What the hell does any of this have to do with health care reform?

If Obama decides that the government is going to transition over from democracy to fascist dictatorship and holds some town halls to discuss it...bring a poster of him with a Hitler mustache, by all means. If he decides to take your guns and holds town halls to discuss...bring your guns! Bring Ted Nugent for all I care! We're talking death panels here, people!!! Can we at least try being a little more creative and pull out the Professor Griff costume for a more appropriate event? That's all I'm sayin'.

Here's video of Barney Frank eviscerating one of these whack-jobs (and a Masshole whack-job at that) yesterday. He's just slightly less cool than Obama.

Facebook makes me lazy. I don't want to write a comment. I just want to click the "Like" button here.

Bush was compared to Hitler all the time.

I think this is a good example of how the 'performance vs. capacity' argument falls flat on its face.

I think the rule states that any political figure you disagree with can and will be compared to Hitler at every opportunity. Hitler should carry that legacy almost as a point of pride.

And I'm less concerned about the lack of creativity than I am about the fact that, when discussions get heated, having guns in the room tends to be a bad idea. If you know you're going to have a tense discussion with a neighbor, it's a bad idea to keep a knife in your pocket. A little sense goes a long way.

I'm really starting to worry about him getting through this term alive.

If Obama decides...

I agree, but come on. It wasn't so long ago we had Cindy Sheehan's cunt-diculous antics all over the news. Obviously, the entertainment media needs their "characters" -- just like Big Ben needs his TV fixed by a bar bitch.

BTW - did I just read that Barney Frank slammed a woman?

[SIA]

NOt sure what planet this woman is from but I know Barney is in uranus right now.
