Hey you know who loves the constitution? Teabaggers! Hell, they masturbate to the framed copies they keep above the urn holding Grandma Mable’s remains. They’re all up in that shit, braying endlessly about how the negro president wants to violate the constitution and take a big Chicago ghetto dump on America by taking away their guns and paying for abortions with taxpayer money and silencing the radio talk show hosts who tell them exactly how to think each day. But you know what they hate? People whose ideology differs from their own exercising their constitutional right to free speech by exhibiting dissent at Teabagger orgies of idiocy, like this guy who was almost crucified JESUS-style because he showed up at Glenn Beck’s 9/12 retard summit carrying a sign advocating the public option.
You know, I thought for a hot minute about donning some camo and a John Deere cap (I make a very convincing redneck!) and traveling to DC with a camcorder to go undercover at this shitshow, but then I remembered it was football season and that there was cold beer in my fridge and, well, my capacity for abstract thought would probably make me want to kill myself after spending five minutes in the midst of these morons. This video pretty much confirms that.
Cajun Boy;
I have no idea what you look like, but based on our shared love of politics and football, would you consider a proposal of marriage?

@SHARILYN…Are you into "puppet play?" If so, IT'S ON!
Not to disagree too much (and not supporting any particular cause or side here), but other than shouting at him, I didn't see anything that would be classified as 'nearly murdered' or 'crucifying'.
Now, if he didn't have the police protection, then he might have gotten a bump or two or maybe more.
Gotta back up Stephen here. They certainly didn't tolerate his presence, but saying that he was "nearly murdered" or "crucified" is the same kind of hyperbolic language that you get from the blowhard talking heads like O'Reilly and Beck.
The video makes teabaggers look bad enough — no need to attempt to inflate it with inaccurate language.
@Stephen and Captain Caveman…I don't think dude was anywhere near being murdered, I was engaging in a little playful sarcasm, just as I was when I said that teabaggers jerk off to the constitution. Everyone knows they jerk it to Sarah Palin and her daughters.

Exactly! These are the people against Public option.
"it's the tenth amendment, stupid" -A man's sigh at 4:55
Yet, these very same people are open arms about The Patriot Act which strips us of almost everything America was based upon for "a safer America".

My bad for not recognizing the sarcasm. I hate to be the guy on the Internet who doesn't pick up on that.
HOWEVA, as a blogger myself, I can't help but feel uncomfortable with the search implications of the headline. SEO optimization will find you plenty more people less inclined to understand sarcasm than I.
Excellent! One man amidst thousands of obese, hostile, caucasians chanting at him through megaphones! It reminds me of this reoccurring nightmare that I have…
The "Public Option" is a proposed public health insurance program, right? If I am not mistaken, this means that people who cannot afford to pay for medical care will be provided with free care or be reimbursed for their bills, yes? I don't understand why this would be a bad thing. Could somebody clarify or list some pros and cons? I am not an American, and this is the first I have heard of this issue.
Is the problem the idea of tax dollars, paid by the insured, providing care for the uninsured?
Whoa, I think I've got it all wrong!
