Because they don’t get nearly enough airtime. What we’ve allowed the world to become. Good luck to us all…
UPDATE: Thanks to BRAD BLOG commenter Rady for this perfect response to the above. Big props to these kids…
And for good (and also very funny) measure, there’s this [hat-tip dday over at Hullabaloo]…
This is called reaping what you sow. The Repubicans are STILL sowing dishonest debate because they know nothing else can save their argument. It is nothing more then a habit which used to enrich them, but now is threatening to destroy what is left of civility in our country. The really frightening thing is that these people aren’t Dick Armey’s plants, they are serious!
I will admit that, at times I acted like this because people who had no idea who I was, or that I worked at the same job for 25 years while I was carrying my Impeach Bush sign, yelled “GET A JOB” at me from a speeding car. Only a hand full of people stopped to talk, and many of those wished me luck after hearing me out.
I was there because elections were stolen from me, not because a theft was narrowly diverted. Not one of these cowards in the video gave a damn that the election was stolen or that Bush dismantled our system.
A good video response to the above is this 4-min. youtube by two teens: http://bit.ly/102XnP
That was awesome, Rady. Thanks! May have to add that as an update tomorrow! 🙂
Yeah great find Rady… that was hilarious!
One argument I almost agree.
The lady in the pink. at TRT Timecode: 3:56
She’s right, we should have been fighting when our great leadership first allowed HCFS to replace “sugar”, and then add other crap more and more into our food, so even if you did stay home and cook, your food would over time be a slow poison.
The Fatboy Menu.
Oh boy, what fun, instead of the Ritalin kids of the 70-2000’s now we can have “Vaccine Victims” who can’t sue. Experimental psych drugs in Ritalin’s place.
Meanwhile, for anyone in chronic pain weed still is stigmatized, and not 100% legalized. Something that doesn’t even COST anything is not legal to grow. Cops waste millions to destroy it every year, which is catnip for corporate broadcast nightly news (sic). The opposite, “tax the fuck out of it”, sux too! But at least it would get our people immediatly off of opium based crap (Which always seems to be mixed with that other liver destroying (cut) shit. What’s it called tylenol?) Why can’t it be cut with nothing, or a plain asprin or something less damaging? Health Failure right there.
The reason why it needs to be legalized 100% is someone in chronic pain won’t have a fuckwad of money to see a doctor to get a prescription for weed. And most corporate doctors will only give opium and tylonol or ascidomenaphin (or however the hell you spell that non word.) The country is busted financially, the banks are busted financially, the government is soon to be the same.
We don’t have any leaders with common sense.
It’s a freakin “Torture Leadership” runnin the “Borked Laws” mill, which can only be repaired by ridding the planet of electronic vote tabulation devices, putting public oversight and accountablity on the “unfair and mean ol” representatives, by becoming the chain of custody for the vote itself. All this power and local law enforcement is backwards. It needs to be cops cooperating for the public, not the public cooperating for the cops. And every time I have ever been exposed to electronic vote tabulation devices, such a security enviornment always isolates my complaint. They even take their time, then one day they pop out and say, bugger off in their repetitive official speak bull crap kind of way. You immediatly know this kind of person when you start interacting with them. They make a friendly contact into police incidents with arrests.
Now we got these people flown, or bussed in the crowds from somewhere else grinding the gears?
I wouldn’t want to be a representative. they have so screwed everything up, nothing makes sense, and no where is safe.
So much time it’ll take to fix, we will all die from cancer in screaming pain.
While I agree with libertarians, the constitution don’t say shit about health care, (those little pocket constitution books) are not up to date.
Those little field manuals (US Constitution) are only symbolic for people who care, but they are no longer followed by those in power.
The US Constitution is out of date with current reality and conflicts with daily actions.
People who swear an oath can’t tell you what to do when someone breaks that oath because there is no current active explicit instructions!!
Where does it say in the Constitution our leaders can ignore the destruction our monetary system and perhaps the government itself?
No wonder we don’t have health care. They’ve pissed away $65 Trillion into a “sealed” shoebox with a turd inside. (It’s what they call the fractional reserve now, used to be 10:1 remember?) Oh yeah the banks are financially sound, that’s why they show you, their books right? They show Congress?
Oh damn, they won’t show their books cause there is a turd in the shoebox.
Ps: I know you love my opinions.
Smart and funny video, Rady!
Come on! they’re afraid to use the word ni88er is all, so they have all of these little buzzwords instead.
This is Reagans (convoluted) dream straight up.
Where were all these people when Dubya was attacking the constitution, they didn’t even speak up when Bush ordered the confiscation of we the peoples guns during the aftermath of Katrina.
So these people are not Pro-America, they are Pro-Rebpublican…and most likely anti-black. We used to call people like that Bigots but now we call them Republicans
They are all liars.
They only care to see Obama fail.
They lie to themselves, to us, to the camera.
They are racists all.
How else to explain why they would have you believe they are that stupid.
They would rather you think them stupid than the alternative.
The one guy at 1:15, holds up a pamphlet: “U.S. Constitution”…and says, “I got a book here of the USS Constitution”…I think he was referring to the battleship.
OK, watched the video. We’re idiots. Pack it in. We’re toast. I’ve got to go to Canada to get health care.
I’m going to start researching Canadian citizenship. Thanks for the video.
They didn’t ask those people what they think of domestic spying.
I went to a Health care protest/rally in Raleigh NC on Aug 29th also.
At ours we had at least 1500-2000 pro health care protesters and some outstanding speakers.
The “other side” was told to move across the street by the cops and they numbered exactly 46 because I counted them twice.
They were basically exactly like this freak show in the linked video.
They were all stark raving insane.
Meanwhile our local NBC affiliate did a 1min36second “news” piece about it, they did not show even ONE of the many excellent speakers, they spent at least 50-60% of the time talking to the 46 nut bags.
They never showed a full view of the rally at all, just a close up shot of the 46 nuts and then a close up shot of the sane people which gave the impression that both sides were basically equal in numbers when in fact they were outnumbered by about 40-1.
They gave these lunatics credence and anybody that watched the “news” that night would have been given the idea that both sides are valid and both sides are virtually equal.
They are a tiny minority, they have not one single valid point, they believe pure bullsh!t spewed by reich wing extremist & insurance company lobbyist, they are spreading lies.
it is absolutely disgusting how incredibly ignorant so many Americans are.
It’s a pity we can’t convert stupidity and ignorance into a USEFUL form of energy – our energy crisis would be solved forever.
Seriously, there’s enough collective ignorance on display in this short clip to make one wonder if there’s any future left for this nation at all. I mean, every one of these people has access to all the same knowledge and learning that you and I do, but they have no interest or desire whatsoever to seek out the truth. It’s so much easier for them to just listen to Rush or FOX News and be told what to believe.
Based on the learned opinions expressed here, Obama is apparently an unconstitutional communist/socialist/fascist usurper of government, just like Hitler was. So stupid it hurts.
Did we do this one yet? Political theater at its finest…(“I’m not crazy”)

Somebody has succeeded in harnessing their energy. Just not anyone who means well… and… uhm… they’re not wrong about the fascist part. 44 is much more competent at accommodating fascists than 43 was is all… makes it sound almost pleasant….
Take this for example….
I’ve discovered in my experience that that degree of ignorance isn’t surmountable. Those brain dead squawk boxes in the first video are out cold unconscious. Their heads have been filled with shit and deep frozen.
I’m with Big Dan (comment 11) …pack it in…we’re toast.
I tip my king over…I resign…
This is insanity.

Thanks for the great video!
wingnuts unplugged…these are the uneducated masses backing the secessionist anti-american neocon fascists.
Protester holds up a copy of the ‘U.S.S. Constitution’ to prove that Congress can’t regulate health care.
One of the newest right-wing memes is that federal government doesn’t have the constitutional authority to enact health care reform. At a town hall protest in San Diego on Saturday, one attendee tried to make one of these “tenther” arguments by holding up a copy of the “U.S.S. Constitution’:
Right here. I got a book here called the U.S.S. Constitution. I’m sure everybody’s seen this before. And you know what? I’ve this book three times now, and I’ve referenced it dozens of times and I can’t find one little paragraph in here that says the government has the right to take over our health care.
Watch it: (1:15)

Those 2 kids mean well and are very good at getting a message across. However I doubt theey understand the complexities of these issues, much like some of the people in the other video.
In Sonoma County, Ca we are reading this headline in the paper…
Is this why the kids video didnt have firefighters or firetrucks?

Is that kid really wearing American-Lebanese War on Drug shirt Propaganda?
And the other is a sporting a Joker face….
yep…
These guys think for themselves….I can tell
“Wingnuts”, huh? It is always so unintentionally funny when lefties try to lecture everybody else about moonbattery.
You want wingnuts, people. I’ll show you wingnuts:

Take a good look at those pictures, folks. And read the article as well. (That’s right, read it and check out the pics, don’t just look at the pics. It’s zombietime, not Hustler.)
Oops, I didn’t realize my link posting wasn’t going to zero in on the story. Further instructions: When you click on the zombie time link, scroll down to the “Death theats against Bush” story, and you will see the gory details.
[ed note: I think I fixed your link for you. –99]
Considering the fact that Bush stole 2 elections, lied the country into an unjust illegal occupation of aggression all just to get oil, then destroyed the country, the constitution, the bill of rights, took us from a surplus to 11 trillion in debt.
Was involved in a false flag attack on this country that murdered 3000 American citizens and is responsible for murdering over 1 million innocent Iraqi’s.
There was damn good reason to want to see Bush hung.
I hope I live long enough to see that bastard on trial for the war crimes he has committed.
Those aren’t “wingnuts” they are called PATRIOTS.
President Bush did not steal anything, he did not lie, and 9/11 was not an inside job. The people who are advocating the death of President Bush are wallowing in sheer evil. That is a fact.
President Bush will not be put on trial for anything, because he committed no crimes. You will never, ever see any trial. Get used to it.
These kill-Bush loons are not patriots, they are traitors. They are vile, wicked pond scum. They should have been arrested and charged.
stole 2 elections, did nothing but lie for 8 years, virtually every syllable that moron spewed was a bald faced lie, and 9/11 was without any doubt an inside job.
I hope one day to watch him swing.
Sadly the only hope of that is from a foreign country.
You will never get your evil, despicable wish. Ever.
DAMAIL….
For clarity….are you saying W Bush was innocent of all wrongdoing ?
Are you saying that W and his henchmen were justified and completely within the law in all of their actions ?
Do you still believe WMDS exist in Iraq ?
Did you buy the MANUFACTURED evidence that Colin Powell presented to the U.N., evidence contrived by the W Bush administration ?
Do you believe that W Bush’s using the U.S. Justice department for his personal political vendetta machine was legal and above reproach ?
In short Mr. DAMAIL…Do you think W Bush has anything to answer for ?
Or was his administration just peachy in your small little world ?
Amazing (and sickening) stuff… but hey guys, don’t forget that the “Billionaires for Wealthcare” are on OUR side!
