    Generally, when one makes a statement like you did, one also provides the evidence. It's not my research to make ... you're the one who made the allegation.

    At any rate, I found a number of right-wing websites that state that the woman was a LaRouche supporter. One of those sites alleged that the woman was a plant set there to make Barney Frank look good.

    Now I would like you to confirm that all the townhall screamers are LaRouche supporters - because many of them are saying precisely the same thing and it's difficult to believe that LaRouche has that much support.

    and basso ... it's unlike you to call someone stupid on this forum! usually you maintain your composure. Hopefully you're having a better day today, because I didn't read enough right wing blogs and I think this forum needs you to copy and paste some more.

    I'd just like to know what's happened to you. Once upon a time, you weren't like this. It's like the Seinfeld episode, where Elaine met Bizarro Jerry and the other dudes who were warped mirror images of the guys. You've become Bizarro basso. I guess I should follow with, "Not that there's anything wrong with that," but I'll pass. Buck up! You act like the World is out to get you. Paranoia isn't a healthy thing, or so I've heard. Surely you could have some intelligent discussions minus the schtick you are hip deep in. Just a thought.

    They're ****ing tools....As alive as the weapons they carry.

    So guns don't kill people. What about the people who manipulate idiots to threaten or kill people?

    There's an NRA slogan to be made somewhere to convince everyone to lobby for a free gun.

    Wait so you are trying to prove a point with a figure which shows how under Bush it became a deficit? and beside that it just shows some random bars, which do not represent anything that actually happened.
    Great brilliant logic :D

    basso, if posting things that don't check out is what qualifies someone as stupid, then you have no room to talk.

    Furthermore, as thadeus has said, if you make a claim, then provide evidence. It's how debate works.

    LOL. Unfortunately, I can't rep you again, yet, or the guy in the picture.

    Such ignorance and hate is frightening. Anybody know if this poster is a refugee from Pinochet's Chile or some similar country?

    Anybody think that the corportate elite may come to regret the unleashing of the hate from these birthers and gun nuts. Many of these undereducated underskilled folks have been hurting for years in an economy in which minimum wage has stagnated, unions have been busted which previously allowed them to make a living wage. There is a great need to redirect their frustration to anywhere but the corporate policies of the GOP and the Blue Dogs and other DINOS.

    This could be the birth of serious fascism movement in this country as the GOP becomes beholden to the energy, hateful to be sure, that they provide.

    I think what it shows is that President Obama does not understand the psyche of parts of America. I agree with that much.

    Obama gave the people far more credit than they've shown they deserved. He never imagined that they would fall for the lies and misinformation they've been fed. Sadly, many of these people have bought into the idea that their freedoms have been restricted or that this is some kind of govt. take over of health care. They've also apparently bought into all the lies that go along with that, and are now acting irrationally.

    President Obama didn't imagine that there would be so many idiots out there.

    I really don't know. The Democrats are weak. They seem to be bending over to get the Republicans on board, and the Republicans just keep trying to get more and more taken out of the bill, and still won't get on board.

    The Democrats need to realize that no matter what they do, the Republicans wont' jump on board this health care reform, despite their lip service to the contrary.

    It's time to expose them, they way Dems were threatened to be exposed for not being "patriotic" or not "supporting the troops" if they opposed Bush's policies.

    I think while doing this, they need to also heavily publicize all the steps they were willing to take to work with the Republicans, how the Republicans obstructed, and why the harsher tactics were necessary.
