Victoria Jackson, prophet extraordinaire has done it again. She guess that Mr. Obama was indeed a socialist…not. But apparently she seems to think so.
Case in point this lady is crazy, is the fact that she thinks Glenn Beck taught her well and Sarah Palin is her hero.
Here’s the clip of her interview on Fox and Friends.
Republicans (or Conservatives or Tea Baggers) are angry because after all the money they wasted to try to deceive the American people & threaten congressmen, Health Care Reform still passed. So what do they do? They act like spoiled little brats, emo teenagers, psycho maniacs or basket cases. The level of threats against congressmen who voted for health care reform has increase since it passed. The lynch mob of right-wing lunatic fringe has decided to send death threats, nooses, literally cut pipelines because they can’t get their way.
The ironic part is that they were complaining about the amount of money government spends but because of their threats, government (including local) will spend more money just to offer extra security because of increased death threats. Republicans in congress may decry this behavior now but during the health care vote, they were egging on and enabling these psychos.
The one that has received the most brunt of these threats is congressman Stupak (D-MI) who is anti-abortion. Unfortunately, our uninformed republican mobsters did not know that Stupak only agreed to vote for it if Pres. Obama signed an executive order emphasizing that fed dollars won’t fund abortion. He signed the order today just to please the idiots that didn’t know there’s already a law that prevents such abortion funding. Here’s audios of the death threats that Stupak has been getting.

Psycho conservatives are doing more than just making threats, some are taking action. Rep. Louise Slaughter had a brick thrown through her New York office. Even a congressman’s family isn’t safe. Tea Partiers, got the address wrong and cut the propane tank line to Representative Tom Perriello’s brother’s house. And as we have all seen many congressmen are getting nooses sent to their offices, threats of intimidation at their houses, and offices vandalized.
The rhetoric from republican congressmen makes them as equally as responsible for this behavior. These right-wing fringe republicans should be outkasted by other republicans. Instead, republican politicians have decided to embrace and make these lunatics the mainstream of the republican party.
Republicans may think this will help them in November, but if past experiences have proved anything, it proves that the majority of Americans do not condone or reward this type of behavior from any party. The republican party has shrunken, the tent is still small, and being the party of “No” and “Violence” will not help them any.
Yep, the House passed Health Care Reform yesterday and I’m happy. Granted, I’m also a democrat that supports health care reform. I could sit here and write about how the bill was passed and the benefits of it, but there’s a ton of other blogs yapping about the same thing. My take on this is that it should be a lesson for not only Tea Partiers (aka, teabaggers), but it should be a lesson to the insurance and other special interest groups that spent millions to try to stop this bill.
To the Tea Party and idiots alike….
Yelling, screaming and attempts to intimidate at town halls, won’t get your way. Yelling racial epithets, anti-gay slurs, and hanging effigies…won’t get your way. Carrying over-dramatic, scare tactic posters won’t get your way.
To the GOP…
Spreading lies about the health care reform and voting no without reading the bill…won’t get your way. Saying the bill funds abortion, will kill grandma, and illegal aliens, when it clearly does not, will not get your desired results. Trying to scare vulnerable democrats into voting against it, won’t get your way.
To the special interest…
Pouring millions of dollars into scare tactic ads will not help your cause when you’re hiking prices of customers at the same time.
So, what works?! From what I can see, reading the bills, explaining what’s in it, telling the truth is what works and contributing ideas is what works. I’m sure, some Americans are opposed to this, because they’re watching Fox News or believing lies of GOP members.
The point is that civil discussion is what gets things done. If instead of worrying about politics, if the GOP would have cooperated, they could have been on the side of historic legislation that will make American lives easier. 22 republican amendments are in the health care reform bill, yet, no republicans even wanted to vote for it. It’s clearly because they think not voting on it would help their politics future. I think many Americans see this and many Americans will not give the party of “No” an automatic victory this November.
The mob campaigning didn’t work during the 2008 election and it didn’t work yesterday. I doubt, republicans will learn their lesson that civil discussion and being on the side of Americans and not corporate interest is best. But, I can only hope.
