At a recent town hall meeting, a man stood up and told Representative Bob Inglis to "keep your government hands off my Medicare." The congressman, a Republican from South Carolina, tried to explain that Medicare is already a government program -- but the voter, Mr. Inglis said, "wasn't having any of it."





I mean how really fucking styoopid can people get?????

2. Keep your government out of my medicare, my social security, and my interstate highways! n/t

3. There are no lower limits on stupidity.

5. Ignorance is a dangerous thing because

it always comes along with a refusal to listen to facts.

8. ignorant people vote?

12. they vote like clockwork .. get them all riled up about bible and condoms ..

these fucks will stand in the rain for 20 hours to cast a vote for a stinking dead dog (my apologies to all stinking dead dogs)

9. I think democrats should make this a case study .... and learn to blow past lead walls

of ignorance..


maybe they can do play the video of a stupid republican

single him out and make a fool of him on national tv .. the purpose is not to insult him - but to get a conversation started ... I think pukes need a shock treatment

6. You will recall, no doubt, the Bush gaff about Social Security.

Bush referred to the funding of social security "like it was some kind of federal program".

7. THIS is why we can't enact change in this country.

If people are too stupid to know how things work, how can they know what needs to be fixed?

[MindPilot]

10. And somebody old enough to be getting medicare

should know better. At least that is not something we can hang on a NCLB-teach-the-test educational system failure to teach civics.

A current medicare reciepeint would have lived a significant part of their life before Medicare, so you would think they would have some concept.

11. This is what we're dealing with, folks

And while I feel a little sorry for Rep. Inglis having to spend time explaining to his constituents that Medicare is indeed one of those dreaded government programs, the fact of the matter is that the Republicans have spent the better part of the last half century carefully instructing their base on the evil that is all governmental programs. So if the distinguished gentleman has to spend a little time face-to-face with the creature he and his party have grown, it's only a small measure of justice coming back to him.

13. Yep. We're boned.

14. Holy crap this type of thinking is real!!!

Someone mentioned it earlier this morning, but as a joke. Folks like that are part of the craziest fringe group in America.

15. 'tried to explain that Medicare

is already a government program - but the voter, Mr. Inglis said, "wasn't having any of it."' - :rofl:

16. I'm surprised that a Repuke Congressman didn't waffle and dissemble...

about whether Medicare is really a government program. They must have caught him off guard.

That may be attributed, but truer words were never spoken.

19. No more town meetings with constituents is the only solution.

[elehhhhna]

21. nuh-uh. Good old socialized PO-LICE is the only solution.

Bust Distruptors.

20. But they have to outdo themselves -- they can't outdo anyone else.

Also keep federal and state hands off of Medicaid. And keep the government from taking over the VA, while you're at it.
