Tea Party Hate Signs

Tea partiers tried to claim their numbers were 2 million today. Jake Tapper debunked that on Twitter. Looks like they're closer to 20,000 to 40,000 tops. Even so, if they were 2 million of 300 million, that's just a pimple. Literally.

The tea partiers will say their fight is about taxes and big government. But it looks to me that's it's all about hate.

See a slide show here. It really disturbs me when wingnuts make their children hold signs of hate.

These people are just despicable. One wingnut talks about civil war:

This guy says everyone in America can get health care. News to me.

Betsy McCaughey Gets to Blabber All She Wants at Tea Party March

Betsy McCaughey, debunked by Jon Stewart, invented the "death panel" lie, picked up and spread by Sarah Palin. When are these people going to realize that they're NOT America. They are a sliver, a slimy sliver. Just because you're loud and pushy doesn't make your beliefs the right ones or the only ones.
The rest of America is tired of wingnuts. Betsy, who scared one of my relatives out of her socks, says seniors aren't going to be able to get the surgeries they need and is ugly with hate. She says Obama didn't have anything nice to say about doctors and nurses during his speech to Congress.
Which makes me wonder -- who is she protecting? Probably the people she works for. Also, the day after Obama's speech, Obama praised nurses up and down in a speech drown out by dingbat, Joe Wilson:

Tea Partiers sing "Take it Back." The singer says there is an enemy within. He says can't you see we're under attack. Hmmm. Wonder who he's referring to?

Read all about the march here. Tea Partiers are marching on Sept. 12. The Sept. 13 march for reform would ideally have a stronger turnout.
List of events here.

Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-PA) plans to introduce a resolution in support of a national "March for Healthcare" in Washington on September 13 to mobilize the supporters of real healthcare reform with the public option, Fattah announced today.

The Philadelphia Congressman, a strong advocate for comprehensive healthcare reform, said he is calling on colleagues in Congress to endorse the proposal for a march, which was suggested this week by former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich to coincide with Grandparents Day.

Fattah said his concurrent resolution, to be introduced when the House convenes September 8, would authorize use of the Capitol grounds for the march.

"The confusion, misinformation and scare tactics about a 'public option' trumpeted by the opponents of real healthcare reform have dominated the national debate long enough," Fattah said. "It is way past time for the vast majority favoring healthcare reform with the public option to show up and speak up at the Capitol's doorstep and make their views known to their elected representatives."

Fattah continued, "Robert Reich is to be commended for his leadership on this proposal for a Grandparents Day march. What better time and place to refute these false claims about how President Obama's healthcare reform would threaten older Americans. Read more
