I just came back to ask that somewhere in the comments. Beautiful timing.
you should be there — you could ask about socialist death panels.
Oh man, I can’t wait to witness him personally abort a baby, using an old person, and then flip the bill to the Gub’mint.
The Station Manager: Don’t forget about eating the placenta!
I’m so excited! I’ve never been able to follow a live blogging. Will there be cake?
Part of me gives full credit to Obama to wade into this and even thinks it’s a good idea as his serene, calm, Hopeyness will make the protesters seem that much more unhinged. The other part of me is scared shitless.
I was talking to someone at my usual watering hole last night and she had completely bought into the 9/11 truther thing. I was working on that bit of craziness when she said, “But what about the FEMA camps? I’ve seen pictures,” and then related this to health care. Because, I suppose, the folks awaiting euthanasia will have to be housed somewhere, right? Anyway, it only reinforces my theory that crazy is like jelly in a PBJ — you can mash it down, but it’ll just squirt out the sides.
Ahem. So, how do I score some of that Canada City Hillbilly Smack? Just curious, the brownstone here upsets my stomach,
I’m normally all about paying my taxes cause I like things like roads and stuff, but I seriously am fucking done with this ignorant trash showing up to grandstand while screaming inanities about keeping our government out of their Medicare. Seriously. Done. I want to strip each and every one of them of every socialized benefit they unknowingly receive and then tell them “keep your hands out of my paycheck!” when they have their collective Abe Simpson “look what happened to me without my pills!” moment.
They are all walking, barely coherent exemplars of the nadir of American democracy. The first democratic congressman who truly stands up and lays an educated smack down on these jibbering, bemulleted thugs will be my hero for life. I will move to their district just to continue to vote for that person.
They just showed video of teabaggers outside the presidential town hall location wearing their guns openly on the teevee.
Wonkette editors - have you seen the coverage of MSNBC finding that wingnut protestor carrying his firearm along with his ominous protest sign??
Brendan M.: Well, at least it gives the Secret Service something to do.
Hooray For Anything: Scared shitless is about where I’m at now. Something happens and I lose it at work, I’m in big trouble. :-p
Brendan M.: Just hope they don’t shoot anyone without health insurance.
JLSigman: Dude, air traffic controllers shouldn’t be reading Wonkette in the first place.
I’ve got my tines sharpened and my torch fueled — let’s roll!
magic titty: And the police say that there is nothing they can do since he’s not concealing the weapon. Sweet Mary Mother of God. Some wingnut holding a sign about killing tyrants and carrying a gun within 20 miles of the President and there’s nothing they can do?
Send this fucker to Gitmo.
stew:
naw, they have special magic bullets that only hit the insured
Ich bin ein Zapruder!
Let’s count the number of swastikas carved into protesters’ foreheads.
Hopey, be safe man.
FlownOver: Bite your tongue.
Fly my monkeys! Fly! Oof, my batshit sense is tingling.
Oh good! They just flashed the god guy on teh news again! I can’t get enough of that guy!
Boooo! The whitehouse.gov feed is audio only. Anybody got a link to a good video feed? Living in communist Yurp, I can’t watch C-SPAN’s feed, either.
jeezus, I’m so fucking high maintenance. Sorry.
Oh god, I can’t watch. I don’t like the crazies this close to my Hopey.
ExecutorElassus:

Barry is one brave dude. Bush was a pussy and was all about townhalls on military bases surrounded by supporters. This MAN is walking into a snake pit.
S.Luggo: Yeah, I was thinking “Even on Wonkette…”
No specific mention of his public option yet. Guess the right wing won again.
