A reminder to the Republicans in Washington--they don't much like you either.

[Postman]

1. This neanderthal (R) congressman tries selling anachronistic snake oil with his RW talking points...

This guys performance is akin to a buggy whip salesman trying to convince Detroit to invest in buggy whips in the year 1946...

[biopowertoday]

3. He got boo-ed cause Independents and Dems attended

these Tea Parties also.

[Postman]

5. Yes...

but all of his talking points were RW garbage to which the crazies attending were applauding for..

The dumbest Americans on earth are middle class, blue collar republicans.

[biopowertoday]

6. For the most part, I agree but

But I do not think name calling is in order. Nor do I think calling certain groups of Americans dumb is in order.

[Postman]

7. I respect that....

but is there another word for someone who is willfully ignorant?

[biopowertoday]

9. just

say willfully ignorant if that is your perception.

[Webster Green]

8. Why not call them what they are?

Are you Miss Manners or something?

They're fucking idiots! :wtf:

[biopowertoday]

10. I am

hardly ms manners. but I am too the point where I think all the name calling --for the most part vile namecalling --just continues on the path of dumbing down America. I am tired of it. It distracts and there is no good discussion.

[GreenTea]

22. Filthy slimy lying hateful, greedy fucking republican corporate fascist!!

ALL Fact!

[AlbertCat]

16. Independents and Dems attended these Tea Parties also.

HAHAHAHAHA!

That's a laugh. Yeah, you tell yourself that was the demographic.

[curiousdemo]

19. They're eating each other....

They're gonna need their stomach pumped!

[LostInAnomie]

2. Why do those pieces of shit hate that piece of shit so much?

He seems like the usual kind of piece of shit they eat up.

[biopowertoday]

4. see post

number 3. It explains the boos (somewhat). Read some of the accounts of who attended. (you will not get the truth from the posts on DU or from cable-msnbc or cnn)

[Crowman1979]

17. Because the teabaggers are so starved for hate, that they will consume their own.

It sort of like self cannibalism or when someone starts drinking their own urine due to a lack of water.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

11. The Republicans recasting themselves as the populist party?

How's that working out for you Rep. Gresham?

[burning rain]

12. What was this guy thinking?

The tea partiers demand ultra-pure no tax, no spending pols. Anyone who supported a bailout should know better than to waste his time.

[notesdev]

13. That's the funny part

This guy is a hardline R from one of the most solidly R districts in the nation.

He voted for TARP after promising he would not.

[burning rain]

14. Seems that that's the reason the Republican Party....

is screwing Jim Bunning in Kentucky, because he refused to vote for TARP.

[Dave From Canada]

15. Good, then at least they're standing on principle.

[MGB67]

18. Why does this sound so much like the Firesign Theater....

... when the principal was addressing the assembled students of More Science High School? (Not to be confused with Commie Martyr High).

[aejlaw]

20. Ugly and dangerous

It would be a mistake to simply dismiss these people because there are those among them who are armed, trained, capable and obsessively determined to save their country from the filthy libral scum and their godless, gunless communist agenda. We may be witnessing a calculated attempt to incite an assassination. If you can't win an election, or steal it, or get the Supreme Court to appoint your idiot, what other recourse do you have? It's very easy for me to envision Dick Cheney remarking casually to his fellow members of the old PNAC crowd that, "To kill a snake, you cut off its head."

[tomm2thumbs]

21. karma

at least he could have stood up to them and said 'I believe what I did was right, I'd do it again, I think it will help and you can boo all you like, it is my job to do the unappealing, the unpopular and the things that other folks won't do when the rubber meets the road' - intead, he played 'friendly GOP boy' which is where he deserved the booing and back-turns.
