Health care reform supporter's car trashed at Rep. Perlmutter's, "Government at the Grocery Store."

Rep. Perlmutter does a great service to his community by coming out to the district and meeting with everyone who wants to have their voices heard. The response from the right? Intimidate anyone who disagrees with them.

What is a good word for someone who uses terror to try to enforce their political agenda?

Is there surveile...surveyla... surveill... a security camera? (4.00 / 1)
Does King Soopers have a security camera for the lot?  Did you check with the management and report to the cops?  They tried to maximize the hit to your insurance by hitting all hose panels.

A-holes.


Yes (0.00 / 0)
Yes, as soon as the security cameras reveal who did this, make sure to post it prominently on this site.

We all want to see the video of the "teabaggers" doing this to the car, don't we?

(Problem is, we'll be waiting a long, long, long time for that video, boys and girls).


[ Parent ]
Well, political terrorists (4.00 / 3)
is the obvious first guess.

What happened to personal responsibility?  Only Democrats have to take responsibility for themselves and their actions, apparently.

What happened to living in the most civilized society on Earth?  Only when right-wing terrorists get their way.

How mature.

A Responsible Plan for Iraq: endorsed by Jared Polis


Anyone look funny? (0.00 / 0)
Did you happen to film the people at the event? Maybe someone there looked guilty?

Cowards! (0.00 / 0)
They don't mind bullying people. But, they don't like facing others who disagree with them and push and shove when they think no one is watching.  Let's hope there was film of the vandals' behavior and that the perps can be caught and prosecuted.  

Let's just recall who we are fighting and get every Democratic voter to the polls in November, 2010.  Drive all their allies from office.  


What do you call them. (0.00 / 0)
I am struggling with a great term like Deathers (for the Death Panel lie) So far my choices are
- Nayers
- Naynuts
- Palincare (or Palinative http://www.medterms.com/script...
- ESADers (Eat Stuff and Die)
- TeaShirters

What say you ?
 


Oh no (0.00 / 0)
And this person is so sure that it was "teabaggers" who did this, why?

Because that several-weeks old flier (from July 11th) just happens to be still lying on the back seat after all that time, out in the open for all to see, seemingly undisturbed, not knocked to the floor while moving things in and out of the back seat in the intervening 4 weeks.

Pretty convenient if true. But obviously untrue.  Sorry, but this story is as big a lie as the health care (or is it "insurance" now?)  "reform" bill.

And I know the answer to your question: What is a good word for someone who uses terror to try to enforce their political agenda?

Bill Ayres!!


oh sure (0.00 / 0)
You would rather believe that he did this to his own car?  That makes about as much sense as Obama being born in Kenya.

[ Parent ]
Huh? (0.00 / 0)
Please show where I said that.

Typical. Tell ME what I said, incorrectly, then argue against it.


[ Parent ]
BWaahahahaaaa! (0.00 / 0)
This isn't all about you.  You don't even understand how debate.  Please go back to high school, and let us know when you understand how to argue.  

[ Parent ]
Funny (0.00 / 0)
Nice try. First you tell me I said something I absolutely did NOT say, then you tell me I don't know how to debate.  Pathetic.

You claim to want to debate me, but then you say "it's not about me". Illogical.

Anyway, as to the "facts":

No one has disputed the assertion that this could easily be a phony event.

No one has disputed the assertion that it's highly suspicious that the flyer, which the videographer fallaciously used as "proof" that this was done by Tea Partiers,  is conveniently lying in a highly visible position in the back seat FOUR WEEKS after the event it advertised.


[ Parent ]
Well looky here! (0.00 / 0)
Oooooh, look at this!!!

"BUSTED!: "Obama As Hitler" Poster Was A Democrat/Union Plant At John Dingell Townhall! UPDATED with video interview!"

Well how about that?  A "Democrat plant". You don't say?  You mean the Democrats actually planted an "Obama as Hitler" poster and then blamed right-wingers for it?  Oh no, the Democrats don't do that, do they? They are saints.
http://theblogprof.blogspot.co...


Let me see if I understand this (0.00 / 0)
A blogger claims unattributed participants at the Dingell event told him that the guy holding Obama with Hitler sign was a Dingell supporter. Poster guy supposedly stowed the poster and was handing out pro-Dingell lit after the event. Except there's not a shred of evidence.

Commenters claim the the image is from the Larouche Web site.

So, somehow in right wing fanatical land, LaRouchies are now liberals "planted" at the town halls.

The stupid. It burns.  


[ Parent ]
That's right (0.00 / 0)
LaRouche ran as a Democrat for years. Learn your facts if want to be taken seriously.

And I notice you aren't "debating" my assertions about the vandalized car, Mr. Genius.


[ Parent ]
And btw (0.00 / 0)
And btw, the people depicted here:

http://theblogprof.blogspot.co...

are NOT the LaRouchies in any event. The LaRouchies stand behind a table, hand out literature, and sign people up. You have no idea what you're talking about.


[ Parent ]
Wow (0.00 / 0)
That's what my first reply to you was about.  As for political identity, there's a lot more to it  than where one thinks they are on a one dimentional continuum or what letter they put after their name. Arlen Specter now calls himself a Democrat.  Zell Miller used to call himself a Democrat, and yes LaRouche calls himself a Democrat.

[ Parent ]
Im very sorry (0.00 / 0)
Im very sorry about your car, that really sucks, I think it's totally un-acceptable to trash people's property for ANY reason.  I do however take issue with you calling people who may or may not go to tea parties "teabaggers" I think that's also disrespectful and it takes the conversation in a negative direction.  The tea parties are filled with all kinds from what I have observed (I have not ever been to a tea-party before but I have seen footage and know people who have organized them.)  I hope they catch the criminals who vandalized your car.  I showed up at this event to add to the discussion, I feel health reform is needed, but I believe that the bills I have seen thus far are not acceptable, and I would also like to see the government fix their existing medical programs before starting new ones, as a sign of competence.  But to simplify I was there on the opposite side of the discussion, and I think that what happened to you sucks, and that people who resort to violence, damage personal property etc, are the enemies of a free republic.
