Teabaggers yell "Kill Your Parents" at Monday's Health Care town hall with Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-OH

[RedEarth]

"Kill your parents Steve," was one chant that was yelled at Rep. Steve Driehaus as he entered his car. Chris Johnson from Cincinnati took this video at a town hall being held at the First Unitarian Church.

The scene was no different at Monday's local town hall meeting at the First Unitarian Church here in Cincinnati with Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-OH). As you could see in my initial post on this topic, Driehaus was regularly interrupted by the crowd and at times had difficulty answering the questions as people insisted on shouting over him. "What about the illegals getting covered?" one man shouted, "You're lying!" shouted several others.

Driehaus pleaded for rationality and calm indicating that he wanted to have a good discussion with those who didn't agree with the plan, but couldn't do so if everyone insisted on shouting. A handful of people walked out two-thirds of the way through the forum complaining about socialism and indicating the the health care system did not need reforming. Several people wore tee-shirts with the web address of the Cincinnati Tea Party movement while others had signs objecting to, in their view, a government take-over of the health-care industry.

As the forum drew to a conclusion after a little over an hour, little had been accomplished. This had not been a thoughtful exchange of ideas but was rather a gathering of people who felt that the best way to move America forward was to prevent any rational and thoughtful debate. Participants who used buzz phrases indicating their opposition to "government control" and "socialized medicine" were cheered and when Driehaus even mentioned the words "single payer" or dared to question the deficit under President Reagan, he was called a liar and shouted down.

You will hear several moments where people are shouting "Vote for Chabot" in reference to long-time politician Steve Chabot whom Driehaus defeated in 2008 and will face once again in the next election. As the crowd runs over to Driehaus' car, you will also hear someone shout "Don't kill your parents Steve!" which is a reference to a story that Driehaus told during the forum about his personal struggle in determining end of life care for his now deceased father.

3. When we can make this work will these people stop?

No. They won't stop. They won't say "I was wrong. Nobody is proposing euthanasia ever. This system works and is cheaper. We are saving money. I pay less on my medical bills."

That's because they are the morons who haven't noticed yet that they fucked up or are too stupid to acknowledge it.

4. At any meeting,

persons who disrupt are removed...and quickly. Why are these town halls different? Those disrupting should be warned once and if they do not act in a manner respectful of the process, they should be physically removed. This would be the simple solution...and the one generally practiced in any community meeting. Why is this angry mob behavior tolerated?

5. Well, at least they're expressing a healthcare plan, which is more than Congressional GOPers do.

But their antics must be driving real people into a rage, right?

6. Where are the real reporters?

Sure would be nice if there was a real reporter or two who do a bit of investigative reporting on these people. I bet someone could find a link back to insurance company money.....wouldn't that make some headlines :)

7. "Two legs bad! Four legs good!"

These tea-bagging idiots learned everything they know by idolizing the pigs in Animal Farm.

8. On the other hand.

if they had any rational arguments against healthcare reform, would they be pulling this shit?
