Not making this up. Outside of Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy's district office, teabaggers heckled, cursed at, and threw money at a man suffering from Parkinson's disease. This needs to be splattered throughout the media tomorrow. The shear heartlessness of the moment is heartbreaking.

The video is not embeddable -- the heckling starts about 50 seconds into it.

H/T Progress Ohio:

Video shot by the Columbus Dispatch from today's Honk and Wave in Support of Health Care at Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy's district office contains a segment wherein the teabaggers mock and scorn an apparent Parkinsen's victim telling him "he's in the wrong end of town to ask for handouts", calling him a communist and throwing money at him to "pay for his health care".

This needs to go viral. It shows their real souls.

1. That whole video makes my head spin...

[Joanne98]

2. Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

:beer:

[Drunken Irishman]

4. YAY! Same to you!

3. sucks don't it

You have one lady saying "we all work hard" and then another parroting talking points.

[liberalhistorian]

31. Since when has "working hard" been a guarantee against

no health care, no insurance, or bad health? Since NEVER. I just love people like this, hypocritical to the core. 'Cause if something like that happened to them, they'd be the first in line for help and angry if they didn't get it.

Any of those people who have Medicare cards should be forced to turn them in ASAP. If they're so gung-ho against the big, bad, evil gubmint' and about paying for everything themselve, then just fucking let them. They'll find out real quick how much their Medicare helped them.

My stepdad worked hard as a teacher for forty years. He became ill with a major form of dementia in just his late fifties and had to retire early, a few years later. He's now in a nursing home (after they spent most of their assets on treatment and caring for him) and Medicaid takes most of his pension check, which is what mom subsists on, each month for his care. But they do pay for the rest of it, which is several thousand dollars a month. How, exactly, did "working hard" prevent him from getting the disease? How did it prevent him and his family from going broke after a lifetime of financial responsibility? I'm so sick of these hateful fuckers I could just SCREAM.

5. Disgusting. n/t

[dmr]

6. Wonder how many of these heartless people pray

and pray for what?

How many of these heartless people claim to be patriotic?

These are the 'real' Americans they all claim to be?

Shameful.

[Ganja Ninja]

22. They go to church but they don't pray.

The only talk politics. It's their religion.

[Jennicut]

7. Not surprising. Conservatives and especially the teabagger types care for no one but themselves.

They are incapable of sympathy and empathy for others. Makes it easier to want the kind of policies that treat people like garbage.

[MattBaggins]

19. I will bet every dollar I have; they all profess to be Christians as well

[reggie the dog]

27. Christians are the worst and most selfish people around

Christians traditionally horde their own money, say it is god's will they are rich, and tell you to go to hell if you ask for a handout saying that god wills you to be poor.

[WVRICK13]

8. Someone Needs To Study

these people, it is obviously degeneration of the brain compounded by total and absolute selfishness. I swear, if a member of my family was like this I would have them committed.

[rucky]

11. I'm pretty sure they're endorphin addicts.

[reggie the dog]

28. the sad thing is that these are good americans

and people like me who want single payer national health insurance are evil communists.

[rucky]

9. That was more disgusting to watch

than words could describe. We don't have anything in common with these people.

[MrScorpio]

10. What a bunch of clueless fucks

Those bullies should turn in their humanity cards

[hobbit709]

12. As a friend of mine always says

"That is living proof on why they should allow retroactive abortions"

A colony of slime mold would show more humanity.

[Lint Head]

13. This proves the right is wrong!

Excrement that speaks and throws money. How unique.

[era veteran]

14. Money throwing prick

Makes Mongo mad. I thought we beat the Nazis in 1945. A lot of retired U boat captains moved to Ohio.

[Tsiyu]

15. Teabaggers should be viewed as we view meth addicts

today.

They are a danger to themselves and - as the video shows - to others.


They should be locked up, away from the public, until we can figure out an effective way to cure them of their sociopathic, violent, rage-filled behavior.

[Joanne98]

18. And child molesters

[chat_noir]

16. Rachel and Keith should show this

and they should point out all the Palin shirts at that rally

[Nordmadr]

17. May they all find themselves destitute with an

incurable disease; or even better, destitute BECAUSE of their incurable disease. It is amazing how an opinion like that can change when you're the f*cked instead of the f*cker.

[Kablooie]

20. The whole mindset is "Me. What *I* need. Nothing else matters. You can die if it doesn't help ME."

So of course the attitude changes if they become needy.
It is not based on standards or morals. Just what *I* need right now.

[nightgaunt]

21. Ayn Rand would be pleased with them

But what isn't said that if you can't then you can suffer and die on your own, or with friends. Now if some church or individual wants to help you then okay, but if not? Then the funeral dirge will be our new corporate national health anthem. So far the 5 major health industry leaders have a monopoly (oligopoly) which is why they are mostly regional in where they are situated in this country. I say let us put them back under anti-monopoly statues and rigid controls. Better yet make them all non-profits like in Japan and England so that they can still service people without the cutting off of dire medical aid and still make a reasonable profit. Not the unreasonable ones they have now.

"Life before Profit" is a good slogan. Not the present one of "Profit before Life." It would look good on signs.

[Ganja Ninja]

23. As much as they protest I don't think the health care bill has anything to do ...

with why these people are out there. Hate is what drives them and what they're all about. You can see it in their faces and hear it in their voices.

[Robbie88]

24. Yup.

Honestly, nothing in this video really surprises me all that much. It's gotten to the point where I am much more shocked when I see a thoughtful and reasonable conservative than I am when I see one spewing filthy and hateful rhetoric.

[tallahasseedem]

25. This is disgusting...

On a side note, is Obama a communist or a socialist? These people think that they're interchangeable. ARGHHH!!!

[IcyPeas]

26. Rush Limbo made fun of Michael J. Fox too for "shaking"

said he was faking it for the camera.

[tom_paine]

29. Can you hear the sound of the Corporate M$M "turning the volume down to zero"?

In Imperial America, no one can hear you scream (unless you are screaming what the BushoCorporate Aristocracy wants you to, in which case it amplifies and turns the volume up to "11")

[upi402]

30. Can we lift the tabu on Nazi Germany comparisons yet? n/t

[Urban Prairie]

32. Why don't they just say out loud what they REALLY want...

To completely put to an end to any and all "entitlements".

If doing so causes many people in this country, including those of our troops that they so voiciferously support, have to suffer and ultimately die as a result, so be it, as it is only what they want that really matters.

RWers are of course, all for our government spending as much money as needed on defense and the military, which gives them the impetus to single out entitlement spending as being very detrimental to our national defense, as well as the war against terrorism.

When their RW leadership talks about shrinking the size of our government, entitlements are what they really want shrunk, which will make it much easier to ultimately eliminate them.

[Joanne98]

33. Both Tweety and Ed Shultz have shown this video.

[Lifelong Protester]

34. Good. I can't even bear to watch it. But it needs to get out there.

And on a side note, could those teabaggers quit using the federally funded roads and more than likely tax funded sidewalks they like to trod upon while unleashing their anti-government sh**? And how about this, they can all enter into a drawing to win a one way trip to Somalia or some other place that has NO government to speak of. And then make them all winners. The losers.

[csziggy]

35. What is "AFP"? The guy who threw money had a sign "I AM AFP"

Green on white background.

Looks like it is "Americans for Prosperity" - big group finding anti-health care stuff: http://www.americansforprosperity.org/national-site

What a bunch of pricks.
