This is the message some members of the radical, right-wing Tea Party movement are sending to Democrats across the country who dared vote for health care reform Sunday. If you are not familiar with the slogan, it is making reference to Sen. Scott Brown, whose 41st vote for Republicans in the Senate could have killed health care reform, and a Browning is a type of firearm, which obviously can not kill a bill but certainly can kill people.
Threats of assassination are not the only bullying these sick bastards have used in recent days. Following the president's speech to House Democrats last Saturday, thousands of Tea Baggers gathered on the streets of Washington to protest the passage of health care reform. As House Democrats made their way down Pennsylvania Avenue the gathering turned into angry, abusive heckling.
Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), a hero of the civil rights movement, who was once almost beaten to death in his defense of civil rights, was called a 'ni--er.' Rep. Barney Franck (D-MA) was called a "fa--ot", as protestors mocked him in homosexual cliched voices. If this wasn't enough, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) was even spat on by a protestor.
Of course it didn't stop there, as Tea Baggers have also thrown bricks, with death threats attached to them, through the office windows of four Democratic members of congress - two of those incidents took place in New York State, with a Rochester man taking credit for starting the movement - you should be so proud of spreading fear and violence.
Make no mistake about it, while these nuts look at those who take up a liberal agenda as socialists, communists, fascists, terrorists or whatever other term their pea-brained minds can conjure up, these sick bastards are the real evil that inhabit this country. They are the real treasonists in this process. They stand for the same type of evil that liberals have been fighting since social security. The same evil that consumed America during the violent civil rights movement, when these sick fucks lynched African Americans in the south. These people don't believe in equal rights, they don't believe in helping their fellow man. They are as sick as the sickest terrorists living on earth because most of these trust-fund, white bread pig fuckers don't even know what it is like to be treated unequally. They have never had to live without health care or watch some one they love die because of a lack of health insurance. They have never seen a family that worked hard, everyday of their lives, lose their home because they couldn't afford the medical bills that their dying family member had accumulated because an insurance company dropped them due to a preexisting condition. All these people know is what right-wing nuts like Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck and John Boehner tell them. All they react to is fear. And while they will most likely die alone and angry, at least they won't die poor. And for that, I am proud to support this health care bill because while it's not perfect, it's certainly going to help the American people - not hold them back. I don't wish death upon even the most crazed Tea Bagger, I only wish that they would see the evil in their actions and use the passion they have inside to fight, in a civil manner, for what they believe in.
But in the end, it is the Republican leaderships fault for not putting a stop to this hateful rhetoric being conveyed by their followers and instead encouraging them to "channel their anger" over health care into something productive. Like what? Threatening and possibly killing Democrats and their families for voting for a piece of legislation that will only help Americans. It is sickening because these right-wing politicians are the ones that put these thoughts into the minds of the morons who will believe anything they say. Who was the first person to conjure up the idea of death panels? Answer: Sarah Palin. And this is a woman that will soon be a reality TV star, if we thought Jersey Shore was bad for society, wait until we see this freak show.
I would say most Americans are intelligent, reasonable people, but there is a percentage that are easily manipulated by fear and they have taken advantage of that through false truths. That is why I strongly believe these bastards should be set on fire and hung from the tallest trees in towns across the country to ensure that the Tea Baggers and other nuts out there understand that we will not tolerate such fear and hate mongering in our nation....I'm just fucking with you! But if you listened to these freaks you would think Democrats are the ones trying to kill you and they are the ones protecting America against the evil practices of the right - but nothing could be further from the truth.
It took some time, but at least one Republican has come to his senses, much like John McCain did last year when the woman at one of his rallies called then candidate Obama a muslin terrorist, as Rep. Eric Cantor, and surprisngly semi-retarded Rep. John Boehner, condemned the violent rhetoric from some on the right earlier today. But it should have come sooner, considering they are the ones who have urged this type of behavior over the past year. When George W. Bush was president, many liberal politicians denounced the comparison of Bush to Hitler, but seems as though many of the Republicans encourage such comparissons and even potentially deadly actions.While there will always be these kinds of nuts in our society, we must be careful on both sides as to what type of rhetoric we allow to be used by our supporters because in the age of the internet, information and view points are spread much faster. What we need to do is expose these nuts for who they are and have our elected officials sit down and have a positive discussion over how we can move this country forward. The Republicans had eight years of legislation that rarely any Democrat agreed with, but even they found ways to work with the administration to pass legislation. That just isn't the case with the Republican leaders. And while the party of "no" appeared strong a couple weaks ago, they now look like their political future is on life support.Watch out conservatives, you know how us liberals wan't to pull the plug on granny, well maybe in the end you will pull the plug on yourselves if you don't tone down the rhetoric and start working for the American people.
