Daddy's Getting Madder

by digby

When will they learn that if they'd just stop winning elections and passing legislation that Republicans don't like, this wouldn't be happening? If Nancy Pelosi hadn't made this man mad he wouldn't have had to threaten her. She has no one to blame but herself:

Several federal officials said Giusti made dozens of calls to Pelosi's homes in California and Washington, as well as to her husband's business office. They said he recited her home address and said if she wanted to see it again, she would not support the health care overhaul bill that since has been enacted.

One official said the man is believed to have spoken directly with Pelosi at least once.

And you guessed it:

Rose Riggs, a neighbor of Giusti in a public housing complex in the city's Tenderloin district, said she saw two plainclothes and two uniformed officers take him away in zip-tie cuffs. Riggs, 62, said Giusti was known for engaging in heated political debates with others in the building...

Sister Lorna Walsh, community operations manager of the Mercy Housing complex where Giusti lives, said he had lived in the subsidized housing for almost 10 years. She would not comment further

How much do you want to bet that he had subsidized health care too?

1. What's with all the hypocrisy?

Tea Party members oppose government, but get government benefits? Bloody Christ.

3. Weak-minded fools, whipped into a frenzy by their media heroes.

Amazing, how un-self-aware they are.

4. It shows one thing

The right has done a good job of brainwashing those who are gullible enough to buy into their BS, even those who live in subsidized housing, use subsidized health care programs, are on SS and medicare, some are on disability, and some have even left their jobs and are drawing unemployment so they can travel around and "COMPLAIN" about all those "bad" government programs! It's insane, but it's happening. A person who uses the same programs they are complaining about, who say things like "take away these programs and make them take care of themselves" have to have a few lose screws, are be gullible as all hell! Don't these people realize that if the republicans have their way, all the programs that are helping them will be done away with? Of course I don't expect to much from those who listen, and follow the likes Rush and Glen Beck! It seems like insanity is spreading on the right, and the poor fools just don't understand what is going to happen to them if they get the republicans back in office.
