....................

(of COURSE he's on government disability:)

Vanderboegh said he once worked as a warehouse manager but now lives on government disability checks. He said he receives $1,300 a month because of his congestive heart failure, diabetes and hypertension. He has private health insurance through his wife, who works for a company that sells forklift products.

They only get mad about "welfare" when it goes to minorities.

4. Do we have a picture of this guy?
Edited on Fri Mar-26-10 10:39 AM by MattBaggins
I'll bet my last dollar he has all of these because he won't put the fucking Big Macs down.

This guy has congestive heart failure and is leading these bozos?




This is seriously what they want us to fear? They are going to teach us a lesson with a bunch of fat old people with one foot in the grave?

7. This is why he is mad
He knows if there were fewer people on welfare like him, he'd get more money.

His interest is self-centered. He's just pissed he has to share in a limited pool of dollars..

8. He should come and load freight with me, today.....
... helps keep down those particular health problems.

Oh.... and there would be a lot less time in his day for domestic terrorism!

(It would be a fascinating study to see how many of these Hoveround Hitlers are on the dole!)

9. Seriously - we should take away his disability checks
Sorry, but if the guy is so anti-health care reform that he would result inciting violence - then let's make the guy happy by take away his socialized medicine.

:grr:

This has nothing to do with their healthcare but the fact that many of the people who will benefit from this are poor and minorities. And god forbid these people want to help anyone not like them

:grr:

21. He would like to see others in his situation be rolled out to the sidewalks,
and left to fend for themselves under bridges. He makes an exception for himself.

10. Of course he is! My republican cousins from Oklahoma all scream
about democrats and socialism. The amazing thing is their whole damn family has lived off government checks their entire life! Their daddy went to college on the GI Bill after WW2, then went on to retire from a government job. All three of his boys have government jobs. The hypocrisy from the right never ceases to amaze me!

11. Video proof Tea-baggers use N-word
The Tea baggers are going around saying none of the racist epithets and spitting happened at the Capital during their health-care protest, however listen at the 1:40 to 1:44 mark and tell me if you don't hear someone say "Here comes the n****r"? He doesn't yell it, he sort of sings it, it's in the background. I heard it by putting my ear right on my speaker. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7wYt9jee2U

13. I know someone
who has been jailed for not paying taxes his children are going to college on the tax payers dime. He is living on disability from the very government he does not recognize and despises. He is totally dependent on the government without them he has nothing.

19. most libertarians aren't such because they like personal freedom a lot, or are self-made guys
it's because they're utter cementheads who want their meat, guns, and tobacco, to kill whatever they want because they're pioneers and thus real people, to drive jet skis and ORVs because they're douchey manchildren, or just hate taxes (yet doubtless have collected unemployment, like Wurzelbacher's family: they seemed sorta embarrassed to be on TV with Sammy, didn't they?)

20. Now what will happen to him? A job in the offing?
Will he be employed by Fark News as a "roving reporter" but then they may cancel his checks? He is a militia man from the 1990's so even though he is so much older and now on disability he is still mind-fucked enough to go against his own interests. I would say he is ignorant that if they all got their way then most of them would die that much sooner because that safety net would be gone. As the oligarchs want when they have served their usefulness to them. Short lives for the rabble and long lives for the ownership society, with a well paid for military-police as guardians commanded by the oligarchs. What they want is a Reich wing Libertarian world. One where you can claw your way to the top and shit with pride and prejudice on all those below you. He just is under the delusion that he will be at that narrow top of that very large heap.Most of them do as per the mind-fuck in the first place. Using the carrot on the stick gambit that they will never reach. Lead by the nose to kill others or be despicable to those they don't agree with all work for the oligarchs who have such control over them. The sheep being lead by wolves who promise they will all become wolves.
