Even by Tea Party standards this one seems pretty low. Report by Dave Harding at 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".



Video and report from the Columbus Dispatch.

Here's a sampling of Teabagger "logic":

"I don't see anyone laying in the street dying. We provide care for everyone," said Janet Popa, 61, of Upper Arlington.

"No one is turned away," said her friend, Ruth Phelps, 50, of Upper Arlington.

The women and others noted that hospitals cannot deny care to those who show up at emergency rooms.

Supporters dismissed concerns about cost and expanding the role of government.

"If we can find the money to kill people in wars, we can pay for this," said a Republican business owner from Westerville who declined to give her name. "We are paying anyway (with charity care for the uninsured)."

5. I'd laugh at the Teabaggers if a guy came along and shot the whole works of them

It would be especially funny if none of them had healthcare to pay for the bullet wounds, either.

11. Somehow I would rather stick

icepicks in my eyes than admit that people who espouse such views exist.

12. We need to start admitting that teabaggers are barely human

if at all.

13. That video clip sealed the deal for me.

You are right. No one should be considered human that behaves that way.

I am ashamed for them. They don't have the decency or brains to be ashamed of themselves.

Where is the media editorials on this? This should be one of those Walter Cronkite moments where the nation sits down for a good talking to about this incident and other incidents like it.

14. Full of hate and very little brains...

Just the sort of footsoldiers needed by right wing politicians throughout history.

(Notice how I skirted Godwin's Law there?)

15. I really hope this gets spread

around. What is WRONG with these people? I guess they learned it from Rush.
