Get your hair cut, hippie scum.
You call that rude? Vulgar? You guys don’t get out much, do you? And you’ve certainly never been to Louisiana.
Don’t be confusing me with the facts, woman. Didyu know that Bama is a muslin, socialist, facist who hates the Po-lice?
dress warm….
I think that was Bigfoot.
That’s fine. Hurricane season is starting about now, right?
thank God, my grandparents settled up North- of course, being a Jew in the South is the early 1900s was not a mistake they would have made.
Wow. Those look like snaggle-tooth extras from the “Water Boy” mob scene.
Sir? Satan just called. He’d like you to grab him a scarf and some mittens on your way down. KTHXBAI!
I am trying to think of any rational objection to the idea of more open health care.
BARACK OBAMA: I would like to make sure that everyone in the U.S. has access to good health care.
DUMBNARD: THAT’S SOCIALISM!!!
Really? Enjoy your fucking disability checks after I shatter your kneecaps for being too stupid to look beyond your own cultural programming.
Don’t let President Sotomayoro take away my right to mindlessly repeat this tough-sounding talking point I heard on the radio yesterday! Bring it on! From my cold dead hands! And once they socialize your medicine, they’re gonna take away your right not to bathe or brush your teeth. Freeeeedom!
Who needs health care when you have Lynyrd Skynyrd?
This just gives me a big, fat sad. I mean, weren’t Louisianans pretty receptive to socialism back in the days of Huey P? Cheese and rice, y’all!
[re=370161]A Better American Than YOU[/re]:
I visited Lake Charles Louisiana a couple times. I really got tired of answering the question “Where you from?” The amount of garbage thrown out of car windows was most impressive in a bad way. Our family renamed the state Sleazyanna. Oh yeah, they also have giant lizards in every puddle, ditch or wet spot.
Shorter GOP: Who needs insurance when you’ve got prayer?
Shorter GOP as Maude Flanders: [We don't] believe in insurance. [We consider] it a form of gambling.
I wonder if he drove his car on the socialist highway system on his way home or passed any socialist police stations or libraries. Just once I’d like someone to define socialism before they jeer it down.
Also, this fellow’s lack of support for Obama has nothing to do with the fact that the President is sorta Black. If Condi Rice or Colin Powell ran for President, he’d support them in a minute.
I work with one of these..she was griping this AM about the cost of healthcare insurance, and I said, “well, if we could get the obstructionist republicans on board for the public option this would be a non-issue”.
Reply? “No, nope I don’t like that”
Me: “Why not?”
“I just don’t like that”. Shorter; “Fox News and my radio have told me not to like that”.
I’m surprised that none of the attendees mentioned the fact that Sebelius has a surname that sounds rather like that of a Finnish Romantic composer, and that the romantic ideal of health care for all is finished now that Real Americans are making their voices heard. Or that Obama is an Arab.
[re=370161]A Better American Than YOU[/re]: Right, glad we can agree on that. If anyone knows rude and vulgar, it’s a stupid redneck peckerwood from Louisiana.
[re=370186]Gopherit[/re]: Funny you should say that. My dad is a redneck from Louisiana, and he calls everyone else “peckerwoods”. Coincidence?
if the confederacy does not wish to share in the benefits and responsibilities of the union, they should have won that fucking war. which they didn’t. they picked a fight they couldn’t win, thus beginning a proud if misguided and tiresome southern tradition.
[re=370161]A Better American Than YOU[/re]: And I am much the better person for it…
Maybe Obama should just make as part of his health care plan a provision that if you don’t want to be part of a “socialist health care system” than you don’t have to and can opt out of it. If you get hurt or sick or lose your insurance, however, then, well, suck on it.
[re=370187]SeminoleInDior[/re]: hey now. I’m a white boy in Southern AZ. My neck is always red.
Somebody please tell this guy he can keep the plan he’s got (Bud for pain, meth for general melancholia, self-surgery, leeches, and for everything else festering pustules and wasting away).
[re=370157]S.Luggo[/re]: [re=370169]problemwithcaring[/re]: The hairdo and the cry of freedom kind of looks like Braveheart to me.
[re=370193]Hooray For Anything[/re]: I too favor the opt-in public option. If you don’t want to use it, don’t.
[re=370178]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Yeah, those big lizards are called alligators. They have them in Florida, too. And please do not taunt the people from Lousy-ana by saying they were not rude enough. They will show you rude, Monsieur Carpetbaggeur.
By the way, “where you from?” is a polite way of entering into a conversation with which one has little interest. It’s like saying, “howya doon?” with the difference being that by asking another of his or her origin, one can subliminally remind the other of the need to leave. Another more direct version of this can be found further west where they say, “Howdy, folks. Welcome to Texas. Y’all go home now, y’hear?”
Nice mullet.
[re=370196]WadISay[/re]: you forgot tampons for anal leakage..
I’ve seen the rest of this video. Skip Gates is the next speaker.
Hey y’all. Isn’t that Britney’s first husband?
It will be a cold day in hell before you socialize my country! Now if you’ll excuse me I have to drop my kids at school, go to the post office, and then go to the firehouse.
I found his commentary a little short on specifics, but it probably sounded better over a few brewskies with his pals down at Porky’s. Let’s hope this cracker-coonass gets his momma to sew him up a new jacket made of nutria skins, because that cold day in hell is coming. Actually it is called Winter. He needs a new gun, too.
Government healthcare is a no-go for these olds.
Its like they are doing 25mph in the fast lane and won’t budge.
They wanna be stuck in the 20th Century slow lane.
Move over old fools. The world is moving on and you are holding us up.
[re=370199]rev_matt_y[/re]: Yep, but it also comes with a stipulation that forever and ever in perpetuity, you lose all right to bitch, moan, or complain about health care, even if you’re facing thousands of dollars in fees after accidentally shooting yourself with a nail gun while doing construction high on oxycontin.
[re=370177]SeminoleInDior[/re]: Fuck. Beat me to it. How you go from the Hugo Chavez of the 20′s and 30′s to a roving band of diapered Ayn Randists?
The number of Really stupid Americans gives me a sad.
[re=370178]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: “I visited Lake Charles Louisiana a couple times.”
Oh well, that explains things a great deal. Lake Charles is nothing more than a slightly less tatty suburb of Beaumont that was formed by a bunch of drunk Texans who got lost, crossed the Red River, and were too lazy to cross back.
[re=370166]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]:
Nope, I was wrong. It’s not Bigfoot. It’s Norm Coleman.
they should have won that fucking war.
Well, we got stuck with the fuckers, so really who lost out there?
(Note: other than New Orleans and the coastal Carolinas, that statement is 100% hyperbole-free)

[re=370200]Aloysius[/re]:
Come to think of it. “where you from” was always followed by a polite “How long will you be staying?”.
I did like the beans.
As much as I knock the South, I did play in a band with a couple of brothers (The Alexander Brothers) from Lake Charles. They were some of the nicest, intelligent and talented people I have worked with to date. They also turned me on to some damn good southern music.
I got my red beans cookin’
[re=370226]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Slight correction to my last sentence, which should have read “were too busy fucking nutrias to cross back.”
Fixed. And a damn sight more historically accurate.
I hearby support a bill to allow President Obama to throw any idiot screaming about socializing health care off of Medicare, Medicade and Social Security. Imagine the savings.
Kathleen Sebalius: Look, here’s a $1000 bill for you. Take it!
Wingnut Assholes: Boo! It’s got Obama Cooties on it!
Kathleen Sebalius: No, seriously, it’s $1000!
Wingnut Assholes: Boo! Socialism! Bool!
Kathleen Sebalius: I’m trying to give you $1000! Just take it, for Christ’s sake!
God-in heaven, would eat their own children with cornbread and a side of beans if you told them that Barack Obama supported the consumption of pork. This country is doomed.
Speaking of us being doomed, check out this NY Times story about people’s reaction to Obama’s presser. My favorite is the one who complains that Obama wasn’t giving enough “straight talk” but then criticized Obama for when he actually gave some “straight talk.”

[re=370251]Manos: Hands of Fate[/re]: I second your support of said bill. Lets call it the “Hell No To Socialism” bill, banning them for life from the evils of SS, Medicare and Obamacare. They will make a bundle on the stock market with those monies they save by not paying into SS.
As The Onion had one of its on the street commenters say, or close to it, “If I were from Louisiana, I’d be very ashamed. Now what was your question about?”
Actually, there is no place such as ‘hell’ so we’re good to go.
[re=370273]Hooray For Anything[/re]: I think my favorite part of this article was this:
“And they said individuals should bear more responsibility for staying healthy.”
Right. These individuals could take more responsibility for their health if they had insurance and could thus go for regular check-ups and pay for whatever preventive care they need to stave off problems before they become life-threatening issues requiring expensive hospitalizations and treatments. Theoretically this keeps insurance costs low for everyone. It never ceases to amaze me that people don’t think about that, and I’m sure the reporter didn’t call them on it.
[re=370200]Aloysius[/re]: Yeah, those big lizards are called alligators.
Or, as they are known in Louisiana, “porch puppies”.
Hurricanes? Naw. Generations of incestuous behavior and exposure to millions of tons of petro-chemicals in the air and water? Yup. Let’s not forget the Church of Fear and Hate or their Holy Warriors, the NRA, goose-stepping to the orders of the Führer of Paranoia, Wayne LaPierre.
[re=370300]Servo[/re]: Let’s not forget Jimmy Swaggart, David Duke, Diaperman Vitter. Oh, and basically anything north of Alexandria. My home state has a helluva lot to answer for.
[re=370180]leave me at your own risk[/re]:
Ever read “Snow Crash”?
“DIAL 1-800-THE-COPS: All major credit cards accepted.”
[re=370248]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]:
Ha!
Hey there Mr. Fuck Tard, this is the United State of Socialist America, and if you don’t LOVE it you can damn well LEAVE it! I hear Hell is nice and cool this time of year. Compared to Looser-ana, anyway.
“Be a cold day in hell til you socialize muh cuntry…FREE CONDOMS IN TEH SKOOLZ!!1!!1″
[re=370256]Tommmcatt[/re]: No, they always take the money. They just first spit on the official who’s handing it to them. And then they claim they got it from their gramma … or Bobby Jindal, who can turn turds into gold through Santeria.
True story: I know a woman who hates Obama and never shuts up about socialism and all the tea-bag talking points. NOM, NOM, NOM. Two years ago she paid cash for a condominium with money she got from a lawsuit against a restaurant (you know, one of those frivolous actions brought by Democratic lawyers who waste the court’s time). This month, she tried to apply retroactively for the $8,000 first-time home buyers tax credit. (Unsuccessfully, thank Jesus!) This, from a libertarian who thinks (loudly) Americans shouldn’t get ANY public assistance for ANY personal problem.
How many short buses did they need to bring this mob in from Hooterville?
What a bunch of dumb-fuck hypocrites. Coastal southerners are the biggest recipients of government-subsidized property insurance in the entire damn country, and they complain about the government proposing to play a role in health insurance? These same idiots are whining that the federal flood insurance program doesn’t provide enough coverage for hurricane damage, so they want the program expanded to cover wind damage as well. Quoth Mississippi Congressman Gene Taylor: “I remain convinced that the nation can do it and charge less than what the private sector is charging.”
Then there’s all those state-funded property insurance programs down South that people turn when they can’t get property insurance from a private company. They’re fine with that, too – and their conviction that insurance companies should charge higher property insurance rates across the country to subsidize the disproportionate payouts to coastal southern homeowners.
Gov’t-subsidized property insurance – their birhtright. Gov’t-subsidized health insurance – socialism!
[re=370167]ManchuCandidate[/re]: That’s what this is all about. Now, to recap: God hates queers, commies and commie queers, whom he relentlessly punishes with floods, earthquakes and inclement weather. This is why Sweden, France and Austria are constantly being battered by natural disasters. To stay disaster free, it is thus incumbent upon right-thinkin’ folks to loudly argue against any policy that looks even faintly commie queerish – after all, nobody wants to be hit by a tornado or be drowned by a rain of frogs. And it has worked great so far!
“I don’t got no insurance and I don’t want no insurance. I’m gonna pray my way outta the cancer that’s drivin’ a semi through my colon.” ;;
[re=370256]Tommmcatt[/re]: Kathleen Sebalius: Look, here’s a $1000 bill for you. Take it!
Wingnut Assholes: Boo! It’s got Obama Cooties on it!

Wingnut Assholes: Boo! Socialism! Bool!

I’m actually in tears that was so funny. On the video, you can practically see Sebelius thinking “OMG, what a bunch of fucking morons”. Serisouly, her faces says it all.
I think I saw that guy’s last 2 brain cells dripping out of his nose.
Remember, this lady did help Dr. Tiller kill a whole shit load of babies. The wing-nuts said so. It must be right.
