Help me get this story some hits (GOP Senator, angry at disabled)

[usregimechange]

An argument over the behavior of a few developmentally disabled adults attending a matinee in a Joplin theater has pitted a local politician against the group's 20-year-old caregiver, and both are claiming the moral high ground...

"He said people like that shouldn't be allowed in places (such as movie theaters)," she said. "In his position, he should be helping people like this."

"If you have clients who cannot behave without disturbing other patrons," Nodler said, "they shouldn't be there. The fact that someone is disabled is not a license to act inappropriately."

9. More of his good work:

Activists chanted, "Hell no 539," in protest over Gov. Matt Blunt's signing of Senate Bill 539, a measure intended to reform Missouri's Medicaid program.

i.e. to cut 100,000 poor and disabled people off their health insurance!

[Wetzelbill]

4. so much for compassionate conservatism

:eyes:

What a dirt bag.

[Ilsa]

6. Not only hit, but responded to.

I'm glad to hear that they had called the theater ahead of time to plan the trip. Nodler is an fucking asshole. I hope he reads this.

[girl gone mad]

26. This guy is a Psycho, with a capital P:

"This week, Nodler asked the Missouri Highway Patrol to give him a polygraph test to prove his truthfulness. The agency declined, said Capt. Bret Johnson, because the tool was used only by the patrol in criminal cases and was not appropriate in a private civil matter.

Then Nodler asked The Globe to pay for a polygraph test. When the newspaper declined, Nodler hired his own polygrapher. He said his reputation was on the line and that a polygraph was the only way he knew to prove his credibility."

What a fucking moron. It sounds like she was way too nice to him.

7. He also voted to END Missouri Medicaid:

SB 556 - This act establishes the "Medicaid Reform Commission" to study and review the current Medicaid program and make recommendations for reforms.


The commission will consist of twelve members, six from the House and six from the Senate. Additionally, the directors of the Departments of Social Services, Health and Senior Services, and Mental Health shall serve as ex-officio members of the commission.


The commission shall make recommendations to the general assembly by September 1, 2005 on reforming, redesigning and restructuring a new innovative healthcare delivery state Medicaid system to replace the current state Medicaid system, which will sunset on July 1, 2007.

8. What is appropriate for someone developmentally disabled?

My pseudo neice does cry out, make grunting sounds and break out into raucous laughter ... She should be kept in the house (hidden) so that she does not offend anyones sensibilities ... :sarcasm:

[jbnow]

18. I'm not even clear

what they did that offended him. He said they made noise, what kind? Were they shouting, continually talking loudly? That wouldn't be OK, though the hot day and need for a cool place was cleared by the theater. Their safety might be more important then the politician having a perfect environment.

I feel like the pompous overblown little man did not like the worker not wilting and backing down. He doesn't like the f word? Well he can f himself.
I did have a client arrested for saying fuck in front of the police (for good reason). The police were saying "shit" after the arrest and she asked why they could swear and she couldn't. They told her shit was more a medical term because it was a bodily function. She asked if they knew what fucking meant. They were not amused.

What is obscenity? I know it when I hear of it and I say it is this turd of a man trying to bully a young woman and disabled clients.

[etherealtruth]

20. Off subject

"The police were saying "shit" after the arrest and she asked why they could swear and she couldn't. They told her shit was more a medical term because it was a bodily function. She asked if they knew what fucking meant. They were not amused."

They may not have been amused, but I certainly am. Thanks for the laugh.

[Catch22Dem]

10. FWIW, I support a ban on crying babies in a movie theater

:evilgrin:

[usregimechange]

11. Babies have legal guardians.

[leetrisck]

12. Should have a ban on cry baby senators

in movie theaters. He's from my area - very arrogant, hateful, etc.

[Domitan]

13. He needs to be spacked

only then will he have an inkling of what it's like on "the other side".

[newswolf56]

14. A true poster-boy for the GOPorkers and their vicious war against...

the disabled, the poor, the unemployed, the soon-to-be-downsized -- in fact everyone who isn't part of the oligarchy.

[Hamlette]

15. done

[jillan]

16. This asshole!!!!! I have a daughter that is developmentally disabled

and I take her everywhere!
Yes, there has been times when she has had inappropriate behavior.

Oh well - we deal with it. Just like I deal with my 'normal' daughter.

The whole purpose of the Americans with Disabilities Act was to include these people in society. It is their country as well.

And nothing pisses me off more than people who think that people with disabilities don't have feelings! They are people who think and feel, just like everybody else.

Sounds to me like Nodler was the one that was causing the disturbance.

[undergroundpanther]

17. Glad I wasen't there...

I can't stand bullies like this jackass. Howabout kicking BULLIES and con men out of public places?The world would be better off if people liike this rich senator bully gotbthe comeuppace they so deserve.

[checks-n-balances]

19. Keith Olbermann needs to see this, so I'm forwarding it to him

Maybe he'll get nominated for KO's weekly "Worst Person in the World" segment.

He's just like a walking PR nighmare for the GOP, isn't he?

God forbid that this dirtbag should ever become mentally disabled himself (like an accident resulting in a brain injury) or he becomes a burn victim and wants to go out in public. (This man shouldn't even talk; he's not exactly easy on the eyes himself.)

He should read Matthew 25, where Jesus talks about acts of kindness to "the least of these" are the same as doing acts of kindness to God, as well as doing things hurtful to society's vulnerable might just as well be done to hurt God.

[UrbScotty]

21. I presume it was Jim Not-So-Talented? (nt)

[Zorra]

22. Maybe the son of a bitch will get Parkinson's Disease next week, and

will ever after reflect on what a horrid total piece of shit fascist asshole excuse for a human being he has been all his life.

Another typical fucking republican.

They all suck.

[Ksec]

23. done

This guy needs taken down a few notches. He sounds like someone with a superiority complex , if there is such a thing. If there isnt, there should be.

[girl gone mad]

24. "The fact that someone is disabled is not a license to act...

inappropriately."

Tell that to someone with turret's syndrome. Or does he think they should be thrown in jail?

[noamnety]

25. I submitted a comment (nt)

[Southpaw Bookworm]

27. I'm speechless

:wow:
