I Didn’t Go Far Enough

I posted yesterday’s video to my blog in haste.  I was so irritated and outraged about it, that I just wanted to get it up so people could see what kind of scum we are dealing with.  Someone left a comment on yesterday’s video which said that I was going too far and getting too worked up about it.  I am going to readdress this video again today, and make the argument that I didn’t go far enough in condemning these asshole protesters.

The video posted below, shows a group of Tea Party protesters at a rally against health care reform in Ohio.  At one point, a man with a sign indicating that he has Parkinson’s disease, sat down in front of the health care opponents.  One of the protesters then shouted, “If you’re looking for a handout, you’re in the wrong place.  Nothing for free over here, you have to work for everything you get.”  Then another protester walked over to the man with Parkinson’s disease and said, “Here you go, I’ll pay for this guy” and proceeded to throw dollar bills at the disease inflicted man sitting on the ground, while calling him a Communist.

I wonder how these protesters felt while they were degrading another human being with a terminal illness.  This man is probably at this demonstration because he is unable to afford the medical care that he needs to treat his illness.  These Tea Party douche bags are basically saying that in the game of life, if you get some terminal illness, well then, it’s just too bad for you.  Do not expect this country to help you in any way.  I don’t believe in religion, but I do believe in karma.  Someday, a family member of one of these protesters is going to get sick, and they are not going to be able to pay for their medical care.  They are going to look back at this video and see how irrational and inhumane they are.

The logic on the right is so fundamentally flawed.  Their argument is that this guy with Parkinson’s can walk into any hospital in the country, and receive access to, “the best medical care in the world” therefore passing the cost of his care to this idiot who was throwing the dollar bills at him.  This perfectly demonstrates the flawed logic of these people.  I hope that the man with Parkinson’s goes to the most expensive hospital in Ohio and gets the care, this way these moronic protesters have to pay for it.

This video is exactly why the Democrats have to pass health care reform (as weak as the bill is) right now and not worry about getting bipartisanship.  This video exposes the Tea Partiers for who they really are.  No matter how much President Obama tries to compromise with them, it doesn’t matter.  Look at what you are dealing with.  A person who acts and thinks like these protesters will never see the rationale behind health care reform.  These people are not rational.  They will never come to the other side of the debate.  It is impossible to reason with someone that stupid and inhumane.  They would rather throw this man who is inflicted with this disease out with the trash, than cough up a few extra tax dollars to cover everyone with quality medical treatment (which by the way this bill doesn’t even do).  Stop with the bullshit and the pass the damn reform bill already.
