1. absolutely

Batshit crazy , the whole damn bunch

[dana_b]

2. omg - batshit crazy is too kind

she's near hysterics with her babbling. Even if it was put in her face, I think she would choose to ignore it.

[Cassandra]

32. I like how she said that her birth cert....

was issued by the US. No, it was issued by her state and each state handles requests for copies differently.

[dana_b]

35. that's right

it just shows how fueled by emotion and/or ignorance rather than reason some of these folks are.

[Renaissance Man]

3. This video..

For some reason, this video brings to mind the old photos from the Civil Rights era of the bigots who were in full lynch mob mode with Elizabeth Eckford (and the Little Rock Nine) when they integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas.

In reality, these people would think that any African-American is a non-citizen (a concept which, on its face, is patently bigoted). That's what the entire election was about -- casting anything as "OTHER" as non-American. Even after the gentleman corrected her, the other lynch mob bigots just joined in to shout him down.

These people are human filth.

4. Republicans created them

This is what happens when they closed the mental institutions.

[SharonRB]

5. These people are batshit crazy

but there are enough of them that it scares me.

[AlinPA]

6. Wild facist bigots, and we will see a lot of them when Palin runs for president. nt

[Why Syzygy]

7. OMG!

That brought me to tears! I weep for these people who feel that nationalism, quoting an allegience to a FLAG, is a pacifier.
They have traded their souls for symbols.

[JenniferJuniper]

18. Nationalism

These people simply cannot accept the fact that an African American is president.

We must never forget how easily Fascism can gain a foothold. And that Nazi Germany was really not so very long ago.

Remember Me - Phil Ochs

When the Fascists started marching many millions had to pay;
We saw them rise to power but we looked the other way.
It happened once before and it can happen once again--
Will you show me that I didn't die in vain.
Remember me, when the crosses are a burnin'
Remember me, when the racists come around.
Remember me, when the tides of peace are turnin',
Remember me and please don't let me down.

8. Just wow - toxic stupidity syndrome

breathtakingly dumb as dumb can be.

the GOP is soooooooo screwn. Hahahaha !!!!!!!!

[Tangerine LaBamba]

9. Where did this take place?

Who's the speaker? He handled himself nicely, in the face of a group that appears to have escaped, en masse, from an institution for the terminally bewildered......................

On EDIT - talk about timing!!!! This video just came up on Rachel's show!!!

Delaware?

Oh, man...................

[SharonRB]

12. Yeah, I can't believe it's Delaware

They've infiltrated even further than I thought.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

14. Jesus -

but, you know, the border states are so much more racist than the Deep South.

It's really true.

I still cannot believe what I saw......................

[SharonRB]

10. OMG -- Rachel is covering this NOW

Turn it on.

[hatrack]

11. Thanks, for nothing, Congressman . . .

These people need to be slapped - HARD - with the reality stick, and you didn't do your job when you had a golden opportunity to do so.

Somebody needs to tell them to GROW the FUCK UP, put down the conspiracy theory crack pipe, stop huffing Rush Limbaugh's paint fumes and start dealing with it.

But then, I guess that might result in you not getting reelected, wouldn't it Congressman - and that's The Most Important Thing In The World.

:eyes:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

15. I think he was so caught off guard,

all he could do - like McPOW when that crazy lady started babbling that Obama was a Muslim - was to state that Obama is a citizen.

Look what happened when he did that - and they were running out of time.

So, don't be so hard on the guy. He was in an impossible situation. You and I both know that you cannot talk sense to assholes like that. Look how they booed him down when he made a simple statement of fact............................

[hatrack]

17. Caught off guard? How? These are his constituents, he meets with them on a regular basis . . .

They're his campaign volunteers, his GOTV staffers, the people he talks to on a regular basis, meets when he's visiting his district and the very backbone of the today's austrolopithecene GOP - how can he NOT know?!?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

23. Caught off guard by that woman -

who then, you will note, hijacked the meeting with her call to rise up and to pledge allegiance.

I'm sure he knows, but how do you propose he deal with a group like that? I mean, seriously. In all realistic thinking, what do you think he could have done that wouldn't have gotten him shouted down?

He could only repeat what's been published everywhere, and that group would have had none of it. I seriously question that those are his "volunteers, staffers, etc." If you watch, you'll see that it was a very small group.

That's reality, and I think he handled himself very well.........................

[hatrack]

27. Yes, he let her screech him into the Pledge of Allegience - a veritable Profile in Courage

Good thing she didn't introduce a sacrificial Jew at whom the crowd could throw stones and bottles, or demand that he step up and spit on a portrait of Obama, huh?

:eyes:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

28. Yes, I suppose it is

a good thing neither of those things happened.

Have a pleasant evening ........................

[Pirate Smile]

13. Rachel just showed it. OMG

:crazy: :wow:

Freaks!

[geckosfeet]

16. JC on a stick. And American congress critters entertain the nutbags.

We are doomed.

[Cali_Democrat]

19. HAHAHA!!!!!

[SharonRB]

20. You think it's funny?

I think it's scary.

[Cali_Democrat]

21. I dunno

My first reaction was to laugh my ass off because they're so insane.

[JenniferJuniper]

22. They may be insane, but they took control quite easily.

We're gonnna do that Pledge of Allegiance right now!

It's scary.

[Cali_Democrat]

24. Like a bunch of Nazis marching in lockstep. n/t

[SharonRB]

31. Insane, yes

Funny, no.

Scary, yes.

[Cali_Democrat]

33. Insane people can be funny at times IMO

When I see a bunch of crazy repukes take control of a town hall like that and scream about a birth certificate and then recite the pledge of allegiance because they want to prove their patriotism, it makes me laugh because it's so outlandish. :shrug:

You are correct, it is insane and scary, but it's also funny to me.

edit: spelling.

[SharonRB]

34. I can understand that

If it weren't so scary, it definitely would be hysterical.

[lapfog_1]

25. I seriously doubt that she actually HAS

a birth certificate from "The United States of America" (unless she was born at an embassy or overseas military base).

Not to mention that they are all bat shit crazy.

[ThirdChoice]

26. cooky

cooky

[Blue For You]

29. I wonder how long it will be before someone in the GOP gets shot

by one of these racist Republican nutcases? Obviously, the GOP gatherings don't screen these people.

[JenniferJuniper]

30. If they screened their gatherings

for nutters like this they'd be no one left to gather.

[Trajan]

36. This is easy ....

They are drunk .... plain and simple ....

Two loudmouthed barflies who cannot control their impulse to puke insane nonsense after they had a few ....

They are schnockered ....

It is pitifully familiar to me ...

[The Doctor.]

37. Ummm.... anyone else notice how barely half of them knew the pledge?

That was sad.
