Tea Party Protesters Sing Health Care-Style 'Yankee Doodle' (raw video)

[TheSmackerlacker]

Sometimes, I wonder if people know how badly they're embarrassing themselves. If I felt strongly enough, I might sing a few words, but then I would stop pretty fast as people started staring at me.

The sad part is, I have no idea what kind of message they're trying to send. What exactly is it that they want me to hear?

From what I gather, they don't like Communism and they want to travel back in time to the 1780's...

[sactowncr1minal]

even though their both on ss and medicare!

[KIINZEY]

The constitution never said that health care was forbidden. and really... really, macaroni...

[shadowwbn]

First, you two dumbasses need to get a dictionary and know what is socialism and communism. Next, you two need to get a dictionary, thesaurus, hell a 5th grade english teacher to read and explain the constitution. His Healthcare bill IS CONSTITUTIONAL. Its even in the first paragraph you dumbasses, and mentioned again on two more occasions. Voices in millions, seriously, racist specialed dumbasses dont count, so your numbers are in thousands. Seriously, go back to high school or STFU!!

[SteelMartini]

Somebody made a good point, that the Tea Baggers are like adult children. Watch the videos of Victoria Jackson, Michelle Bachman they both have child like voices. Voight. Ben Stein, Dennis Miller all have similar traits too, melancholy, slow or cognativly depressed. They share common traits as downsyndrome people do.

[carrie0123210]

It's liberals who are sad.

They close their minds to what is actually going on in Washington.

I'm happy that there are dissenting voices still in America --- Like Glenn Beck, Hannity and Rush.

Thank goodness we get the other side of all this...........

Just look at any liberal and the foulness coming out of there collective mouths........ they sure know the "F"  word! Very smart and mature!

[SteelMartini]

@carrie0123210 Glen Beck says he doesn't give a crap about politics, he's a entertainment company. All thoes people you quoted are making millions from people like you. Hannity charity alone took in $10M he donated $400.K Rush has a $4M contract, Beck made $32M last year, Palin $12M. They used to call em' Snake Oil salesmen

[hempartist420]

@carrie0123210 yeah as if Glenn, Hannity, and Rush don't have their paychecks to look after, you've ignored the fact that they get caught lying on a regular basis

[hempartist420]

@carrie0123210 well for the fun of it I will respond anyway

"it has not been proven that nicotine is addictive, the same with cigarettes causing emphysema" -Rush Limbaugh

"Obama will invade Pakistan" -Hannity the manatee

“How can carbon dioxide be poison when it is naturally occurring and trees need it to grow?” -this just shows how stupid Glenn Beck is

“I checked. We have never had a president sworn into office without a Bible.”- and this would be the third lie you asked me for. many more

[mrsockhandy]

@carrie0123210 the f word? like fuck you?

[1weerdchik]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

[Laramas]

Old people are afraid of change. :(

[drumcatnau]

They remember this song from the Revolution because they saw it firsthand...

[drumcatnau]

Children, turn your heads. That's called "Living in the Past," and it's not a pretty thing. Sometimes, you just have to be nice to old people, even when they don't make sense.

[KhalidSchaichRohamid]

hahahha im scared of cheaper health care, help, the governments coming to get me hahahhahah

[markvanslam]

Poor stupid bastards, they dont realize that they are fighting against themselves and for the health insurance companies.. Fox news and Glenn beck dish it out and this silly assholes just eat it up. Its sad really.

[callouschristian]

Supercuts is calling. They're missing two bad haircuts.

[callouschristian]

Was there NO ONE in their lives to tell them what an unfortunate decision this might be???

[evilpaul626]

why are all teabagger all over 40

[BlueSkies360]

unfortunately America's youth supports marxism.

[Spicymchagis]

Im not and even if i was i could still aim a gun bitch

[mavrek47]

Teab Baggers can be seen wearing HUGE bandages on their chins due to ALL the Excessive "Tea-Bagging" they've done lately. (lol)

[carrierexchange]

How retarded. They got the facts wrong and they don't care.

[MrCallipygous]

These people must be "the base" referred to in the media. Next time someone mentions ratings of some conservative show on TV or some best selling book by a right winger, remember this crowd are ones watching and buying,

[mysonabsalom]

They're cute, aren't they?

[XxDITONExX]

You stop caring about them after they say Socialism and Communism are the same thing

[NathanielFaunce]

Socialism is a phase of economic development between captialism and communism. According to Marx, socialism leads to communism.

[Francebrasil]

Junk food crack pots!!!!

[SubmarinerAndroid]

for fucks sake

[bushputz]

watch?v=dZIjT3S7wvc

[saltythebear]

politics aside for once, did you rehearse? tsk tsk tsk

[JoeCollins77]

Well done!

[JBeatty17]

Smells Like Astrofturf

[TrollBuster9090]

"..can you hear us now you fools, our voices now are millions"

Millions? Two polyester-clad old crones with a bullhorn? I guess that's why they had to send around memos to make sure all the politicians who talked today called it a "press conference." I would have been too laughable to refer to 4000 people as a "rally."

[SupremeComedian]

This IS BY FAR the weakest Protesting I have ever seen in my entire LIFE! You old bitties better go and get a Molotov Cocktail if you really wan to get your point across. Singing some WACK Ass Lullaby is not going to do you no GOOD!

[neobeetle]

BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fractalbuddha]

that was really moving. makes me hate communism... whatever that really is, all over again.

[WKaliberr]

doesnt even rhyme you dumb bitch

[whoo689]

Look! It's Fox News base of support!

Morons... Lol

[WKaliberr]

inbred rednecks

[gisforgary]

this would be great if they weren't both over 65 and drawing both medicare and social security checks. hypocracy or just plain stupidity? discuss.

[freesk8]

They would have to live well-past 100 to get the money back they were forced to pay for these programs.

If they are on medicare, and if they are getting soc sec checks, I'd say they are probably just trying to get their money back.

And what if they advocate stopping the whole program, even if it means they lose their benefits?

Wouldn't that eliminate any hypocrisy?

[Iceberg6606]

What a bunch of whackos!

[Kni7es]

"...And clearly we need to work harder on the education system, too."

[TrollBuster9090]

True, we can work on the next generation. But do you realize how long the generation that thinks Raphael was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, and The Third Reich was named after Wilhelm Reich is going to be a powerful force in American politics? It's pretty depressing.

[SAGEBOT500]

You're making a pretty big leap yourself in assuming that the next generation will even know who Wilhelm Reich was.

[awerner2007]

Just think in the amount of time it took them to write that song they could have researched what they said and realized it was all bullshit.

[jhakana]

awesome, totally agree, let the poor fend for themselves, its their own fault, maybe they should have prayed to jesus harder, no instead they want gay marriage, let them suffer the bastards

[sandmanhopes]

lol rich folks who can take time during the week to go lol people who the public op isn't for. it is for the poor & unemplyed, hear a lot of old people talked to dem senate and they didnt understand and now do good for them. our old are not dumb like republicans think you show them and explain and they understand see there Medicare is safe and the public op is for the poor and out of work no one made to be on it. so you rich keep going while we work to feed our kids. god forgive you.

[terrence0258]

Teaparty chant, "We want war, no more health care."

[baddmanaz]

A barney costume would make it complete

[jensen1901]

same not "sane," I meant.

[jensen1901]

Retards.  Why is our media paying attention ti these people? These are the sane insane wackos you shun on the public bus. They deserve no forum.

[lawilson200]

Both look like they are old enough to receive medicare. I wonder if they would be singing when that "evil socialist" program is taken away?

[EDERCITO88]

get a live....

[boots920]

Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.

John F. Kennedy

USA at war since 2001 - check (unfunded)

Corruption ? They don't even know where 2.3 trillion in Pentagon transactions went.

Commie healthcare coming right up !!!

[ActsOfFreedom]

To Yankee Doodle:

Verse 1:

Gram and Grampa stayed at home

When Bush was talking nucular

Stayed at home when shock and awe

Was on the FOX's tubular

Do Doolittles keep it up

Do Doolittle Republicans

Mind your money and your frauds

Til Corporations rule us

[corncat]

heh... leave it to a leftie to whinge about a **former** president's pronunciation of a word. Are you simply incapable of discussing an issue?

[ActsOfFreedom]

@corncat

No, not incapable of discussing issues.

How did you feel down deep in your heart about Bush's policy of torture? Oh, wait a minute-- right wingers have had their hearts removed so that their doctrines of corporate rule can become the new America.

Yankee Doodle keep it up

Yankee Doodle dandy

Check your bank account

And your retirement

Cuz the corps have taken it, too oo.

[bleunt]

Too bad they're too old to get to regret this when it's a beloved standard.

[ActsOfFreedom]

Corporations cannot make money unless they steal it from the working poor.

[PersonalJesus348]

Exactly!

[RoseSkye]

Wow.. the whole song basically recites every talking point from Fox News in the book.

[kingsdun]

sounds more like the opening of "Roger RamJet" to me.

[shoogie06]

See don't they see the Republicans are spend and go into big debt while Democrats are tax and spend. Look at the huge deficient that Reagan gave us and the lack of one that Clinton gave us.

[newbreed1]

I'm amazed how right-wing extremists can protest against Americans being given health care and see themselves as patriotic. When liberals protest an expensive and unnecessary war in Iraq, they are labeled unpatriotic and domestic terrorists. Amazing, truly amazing.

[integral]

Hey, what the heck. It gets them out of the house.

If it weren't for teabagging time they might be stuck in front of the tube watching Fox all day.

[p00lman]

This would be the perfect opportunity to toilet paper their houses.

[RobertSeattle]

Come-on Ladies BURN those Medicare Cards to show us you mean it. Don't cash your SOCIAL Security checks either!

[p00lman]

Didn't you hear? The founding fathers created Medicare. No wait, actually Jesus came up with it first.

[10thAngel]

huuuush! don't tell the republicans that Jesus was a social liberal!

You heard about that christian rightwing group that was gonna re-write the bible to make it less "leftwing-liberal"?

[newbreed1]

Nothing like a black man in the white house to get grandma out to protest.

[nadreev]

"Communism" doesn't rhyme with "socialism" and "constitution" sure as shit doesn't rhyme with "millions." Oh, btw, millions??????????

Sorry ladies, I give it a D-, go back to Florida before you miss Dancing With the Stars.

[ArtistvScientist]

Hold on, hold on. I think you got what it takes. I like your sound, I like your style; it's sexy! Alright ladies, how would you like to be Columbia Records next biggest thing? You're gonna be stars!

[KosmicCitizen]

The best thing that could ever happen to these dusty old farts is SOCIALISM.

[franknyt]

Can you imagine how hard the Russians are laughing. Well after the puzzled look followed by the you're-joking look then the oh-no-you-di'nt look.

What an embarrassment.

[petadd]

rhyming socialism with communism when you have no idea what they mean, very classy

[callouschristian]

Notice how the one keeps the blarer in front of her face for no good reason.

[goofballez]

tens of people showed up...

hannity proclaims thousands of angry great americans,and jon voigt. lol

[PersonalJesus348]

The constitution guarantees a life. So cover my health care costs and cost of living while your at it.

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness.

Socialism makes me happy. C'mon washington!

[AccidentalDem]

You honestly think that "healthcare for all" is Socialism?

[PersonalJesus348]

Well if you don't mind me asking, Do you think Socialism is bad?

And I don't mean that stuff from overseas... I mean the idea that we can control the factors of economy to create stability via protections.

[L8nitedave]

The tea baggers went to town to buy Glenn Beck a pony with talking points, protest signs and brains of macaroni.

[shadowwbn]

@L8nitedave DUDE MACARONI?? MACARONI?? WTF, dont bash a pasta that is loved by 'almost' everyone. What did Macaroni do to you? If your going to remark about what is in their head instead of a brain, say something like this

"The hamster running the wheel in place where their brain should be just commited suicide and left a note which reads, "NNNOOO dumber than Bush!! Dumber than Palin!!! NONONONOOO, I cant live like this *commits suicide*, FREEDOM!!!!!!!!"

[Shiftyeyes516]

country backwater hillbillies!

[britzman1]

Brainwashed old white bitches have no talent.

[wwwwheniwritedotcom]

two ladies who are more than likely benifit from having medicare...smh & lmao @ the same time...

[rickamabob13]

'We read our constitution'?

Did you just skip over the 27th-30th words of it?

In case you misss them, they are PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE. And this is restated in Article I Section 8 which lists the powers of Congress. In it it says "provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States."

[brylehman]

sooo jokes.

i bet she has no idea what the bill even says.

she is probably on GOVERNMENT RUN medicare !

thanks for coming out tho grandma ahah

[livethoughts]

...so stupid

[Richardgwm]

Wow. nobody showed up.

[cryan71]

with the horrible events at Ft. Hood, these people seem so silly.

[bigc028282]

Not as f*cking "silly" as Mr Change and his "shout out", before addressing what happened at Fort Hood. Of course we already know he doesn't care about the soldiers. Instead of "end the wars", we got a CHANGE of adding some of it in Pakistan. He did get a Nobel though.

HOPE in one hand, BUSH in the other.

[badbutt570]

roflmao

[Michigan1985]

Another fox news promoted event. /yawn

[kace2006]

[Gadgetglanman7]
