Yeah, bankruptcy, denial of care, and being cancelled for that was sooo much better! Thanks, CNN!

Another fine product from the Corporate No-News Network:



Or another great one from them. No bias, no script there, uh?



Running with a script written by their masters and wishful thinking, reporting something that had not happened yet, but all sure it would go as planned, more of their fact-free reporting, just like their buddies at FNN:

As their script was being delivered to ALL OF THEM, they filled the airwaves with crap like this:



Oh, yeah! Don't even have to wait for the LIES ALL THE TIME media to keep working hard for thei salaries paid by owners of the Teahadists to screw up 2014. They're doing their job to misinform us now...

Yes the inner humanity of the baggers really shone through, huh? Same as they did this guy:



Tea Partiers Mock And Scorn Apparent Parkinson's Victim

Uploaded on Mar 17, 2010

COLUMBUS
- In a scene reminiscent of non-violent civil rights confrontations from the 1960s, Ohio Tea Partiers quickly turned ugly when facing off with health care advocates in front of Ohio Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy's office Tuesday.

In shocking video taken by a Columbus Dispatch reporter Doral Chenowith yesterday, Tea Party protestors mock a seated counter-protestor with a sign indicating he has Parkinson's disease. They then proceed to hurl wadded up bills at him shouting, "I'll decide when to give you money!"

On March 17th outside of Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy's (D-OH15) district office teabaggers mocked and scorned a man who had a sign stating that he had Parkinson's. They told him "he's in the wrong end of town to ask for handouts", called him a communist and threw dollar bills at him to "pay for his health care".


To see more of the man they were abusing and his story, enter this search term at youtube. The video is in two parts:

Targeted by the Tea Party: Parkinson's Hero Speaks


Bob, the man with Parkinson's who was targeted by the Tea Partiers, sat down with ProgressOhio for an interview. He is 60 years old and was first diagnosed with Parkinsons 15 years ago. He has two masters degrees and a Ph.D. from Cornell. He taught at the University of Michigan and worked as a nuclear engineer.

Bob was able to have a $150,000 surgery that greatly increased his quality of life, thanks to Medicare and the Cleveland Clinic. He attended the event in Columbus because he believes in giving back and thinks everyone should have access to affordable health insurance and quality health care.


Yet this is how the man was treated as the Tea Party was promoted by mainsteam media. There was a reason he was sitting there, but look at the crowd. And they still say they are not vicious and people vote for this?

I posted this video again and again as a warning in the summer of 2010 as I was arguing with people who said they were not going to vote. This is who got elected and we are still living and dying with the results right now. This is the mentality of those who control the HoR and many states.

Bernie is right from our POV. From the GOP POV, eliminating millions from Earth is their job.

It's their plan to balance the budget, without so many people, just as forcing all women home no matter what happens, is their solution to jobs..

Eliminate the rhetoric and this s what they are advocating, from Rush to Beck to Jones and the Pauls. Some people are not worthy to speak, to live their own lives, and in the end, to not live.

And their anti-education, pro-life crap is also great for making a desperate working class to be discarded sooner.

They are determined to finish drowning the baby in the bathtub Nordquist style. Then they'll never have to pay taxes or wages again which is a win-win for them.

Sanders acts like he's talking to poeple who have morals, want to have government exist, and don't spend their days fantasizing about how to make those who can't pay, shuffle off this mortal coil and out of their exalted way. Wake up and smell the death.



You can't have a policy discussion with a Dire Wolf. I hope some Americans are going to listen to the Senator.

ALSO: What of the voters to be enslaved? Do their votes count? What a JACKASS this guy is! No, wait!

Jackasses are innocent quadrupeds.

Apologies to all of them.

Go away, damn GOP!

Welcome GOP to your new polling place:



It didn't have to happen this way, but you asked for it.



No, I am not going to be nice.

Part and parcel of Saint Ronnie's divestiture to escape the socialist dangers of universal access.

And the insidious nature of unions, cheap gas by jumping in bed with the Saudis... Rot in Hell, Ronnie!
