Columbus Dispatch Outs "The Terrible Teabagger":

COLUMBUS - In a scene reminiscent of non-violent civil rights confrontations from the 1960s, Ohio Tea Partiers quickly turned ugly when facing off with health care advocates in front of Ohio Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy's office Tuesday.

In shocking video taken by a Columbus Dispatch reporter Doral Chenowith yesterday, Tea Party protestors mock a seated counter-protestor with a sign indicating he has Parkinson's disease. They then proceed to hurl wadded up bills at him shouting, "I'll decide when to give you money!"

On March 17th outside of Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy's (D-OH15) district office teabaggers mocked and scorned a man who had a sign stating that he had Parkinson's. They told him "he's in the wrong end of town to ask for handouts", called him a communist and threw dollar bills at him to "pay for his health care".

There are countries with socialized health care that have a better credit rating than the USA. And that's just fact.

This makes me upset and breaks my heart too. A "libertarian" for Ron Paul spoke to me in 2008 about how he is for charities to give handouts to disabled "voluntarily" instead of disabled getting SSI, Food Stamps, and Medicaid from govt entitlements. These people have no clue that this could happen to them, one car accident or disease or condition or birth defect away from this destroying their familiy forever.

This particular breed of right wing American truly sickens me. I realize not all are like this, but I wish they would take a good look at him and realize that that is what their ideology ultimately preaches, that the luxury of the super rich must be protected at the expense of the poor and helpless.  You have to be nothing short of a sociopath to be a conservative, if you're honest with yourself.

idk why everyone is upset with the tea party, as you can see in the video they are obviously just out to spread the word of God and be good Christians. Jesus would have loved to see his followers mock an ill person

@ENStranger Not staged...the man who threw the $ at the man w/ Parkinson's has been harassed IRL majorly...so he apologized to the Parkinson's man saying he "didn't know what came over him" blah blah...I can find the NEWS article but then again, you can look it up yourself. It's very real, not staged. A person with at least 1/2 a brain & a soul would at least show some concern for the man w/ Parkinson's, but I forgot TP peeps lack both a brain & a soul.

@mardi06 There is callous hatred from far too many "Tea Baggers", from raging Congressmen to hateful applause against Social Security for our grandparents at the Republican debates. Hate in THEIR OWN WORDS, beginning with your own. Thus, no surprise when we glance elsewhere on YouTube for hundreds of more videos for proof: Just for starters: "Teabaggers can't handle a little dissent", "Angry Tea Party Conservative Assaults", "Tea Party Violence, Teabagger Tries to Kill", etc., etc., ad naseum.

In the 1990s I used to tell my Social Psychology and RN students about how many of my self-proclaimed "conservative" friends I know who would rather tell homeless kids and disabled veterans to get a job rather than help them. It makes them feel better to deny that there is real help needed. Bill O'Reilly at Fox "news" lied "There are no homeless vets". Those who live on their islands of greed may sleep well with their denial, but I've observed that those who generally give more sleep better.

@mardi06 The Tea Party, heavily promoted by FFF - Fox Fake & Fixed "news", whose in bed with billionaire Fox owner Rupert Murdoch who finally admitted Fox "news" has a "Right-wing agenda", video found on YouTube in his own words, while they LIE at Fox DAILY they are "Fair & Balanced". Neil Cavuto of FFF was caught lying in Fox cameras in Sacramento there were 10,000 Tea Bag protesters, right after a cop was taped on video telling Cavuto it's 5,000 people, MANY of whom were tourist observers.
