"Keep Government Out of My Medicare" -- ? anyone have link for this pic ?

[Sal Minella]

I have a friend who does not believe this teabagger sign existed -- would appreciate someone linking me to the photo of the little lady protecting her Medicare from government meddling . . . (I have already searched through many DU teabagger pic threads and cannot find it.)

1. A lot of folks have said it, including Limbaugh:

Takes an NRA member to put Govment in its place, by gum.

You know what our problem is? We've been talking to them like they had at least the capacity, knowledge and reasoning skills of a third grader or better.

We need to set our sights lower. Obama needs to bring in Elmo and Oscar the Grouch to explain healthcare to these fuggin morans.

10. Elmo? Isn't he red? n/t

would be able to educate them.

8. I think he means the Medicare he hopes to have in the future.

Like the snaggle-toothed minimum-wage workers who protest "the death tax" because they anticipate being millionaires someday soon and don't want their wealth taxed as it's passed on to their deserving progeny.

Satire?
