Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, November 06, 2009

Right-wing wacky lawmaker, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) planned an anti-health care reform tea party rally on the steps of the Capitol building on Thursday. The event to fight the "crown jewel of socialism," was endorsed and promoted by Fox News and funded by the Astroturf corporate lobbying groups Americans for Prosperity (AFP) and Dick Armey's FreedomWorks.

About 4,000 tea party protesters transported in free buses provided by AFP, shouted "kill the bill" carrying signs questioning Obama's birth certificate, calling him a Marxist and offensively comparing health care reform to the Holocaust.

The event was both comical and a sad spectacle of the current state of the Republican Party. Rep. Akin stood to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, first declaring that it "drives liberals crazy," and then proceeded to botch it, by forgetting to say "indivisible" before "with liberty, and justice for all."

Lawls!

Rep. Boehner with his day-glow orange tan then stood to show his patriotism, by holding up a pocket-size copy of the constitution, only to start reciting from the Declaration of Independence. Boehner said, he would pledge to "stand here with our Founding Fathers, who wrote in the pre-amble: We hold these truths to be self evident " Oh, boy.

Wotta assclown!

So, in short, Michelle "Batshiat insane" Bachmann led a mob of coporately funded asswipes to hold a sit in? In Pelosi's office? The wrong one? And they all got arrested?

Spud to Bachmann:

Damn, Rein, you really do bring the goods around here.

Kudos again.

Be Well.

Try that again...

Spud to Bachmann:

images.cheezburger.comBwa hahahahaha!

There... all better!

Be Well.

Wow, Spud is totally farktarded tonight!

Guess the Bwa hahahahah is on Spud

LOL.

Third times a charm!

Bwa hahahahaha!

Be Well.

That particular screw-up took a whole Committee to accomplish!

But-they're teabaggers-having one of their-"tea-tantrums"-what else can be expected out of those idiots BUT fucking up?

Let me guess-when the arrests were being made-Bachmann was nowhere to be found?

Bachman-Teabag-Overhype!

Boehner and Cantor side with Bachmann on "Guy Fawkes day", screw up the Pledge after a strawman castigation of the Left, and then read the Preamble to the Bill of Rights (there is no preamble to the Constitution!). Then convicted felon Liddy says there was 1,000,000?

Overused phrase, but this was a massive failure and an incredible embarrassment for them.

Voters in upstate NY leaned of this event and then realized they just dodged a bullet.

Nancy Pelosi will not stand for this, Health care will be passed no matter how many seats Democrats loose in 2010 that is her own words. New unemployment figures should be out today the worst ever, and Nancy wants to vote on Healthcare the next day WITHOUT placing the bill on the internet for 72 hours as promised. Way to go Nancy shove the bill right up their Asses after all what do Americans think this is a Democracy or something...

"From our perspective, we won last night," a cheerful Ms. Pelosi told reporters...

The woman is clearly delusional and could not possibly be a better representative for the Democrats. I hear after healthcare passes Nancy and Harry plan to bring a bill before congress outlawing all Firearms. Nancy has met with XENU the alien leader of scientology and he has written the legislation for her...

She picked up two more votes in the House of Representatives. From the perspective of The Speaker of the House, it was a victory. To pretend otherwise looks like desperation.

Here's an interesting tidbit that seems to have been overlooked:

"By the time it was over, medics had administered government-run health care to at least five people in the crowd who were stricken as they denounced government-run health care. But Bachmann overlooked this irony as she said farewell to her recruits."

www.washingtonpost.com

4,000 protesters. A good bit more than the libbies were able to muster when they pretended to be against the Iraq War.

Links from Chattahbox aside, it's hard to imagine that people working inside Congress don't notice a crowd of 4,000 people.

So afkabl2, are you claiming they only received a bandaid? Also, are you claiming they are going to return it???

Too funny...

More seriously: your non sequitur misses the point (and the IRONY) completely.

I find it interesting that Bernie Kerik's lawyer is called Michael Bachmann....

Poor delusional RIR must be using vern's calcumalator.

March 29, 2003

In Boston, Massachusetts 50,000 people attended the largest rally in the city since the end of the Vietnam War.

April 12, 2003

Protests sponsored by A.N.S.W.E.R. were held in Washington, D.C., San Francisco, and Los Angeles to demonstrate against the Iraq War three days after the fall of Baghdad. In Washington, the march route took the group of 30,000 past offices of several mass media organizations, and companies such as Bechtel and Halliburton.[54][55]
[edit] October 25, 2003

The Washington DC rally attracted 20,000 (BBC estimate) protesters. The protest ended with a rally at the Washington Monument, within sight of the White House. As well as opposing the invasion of Iraq protesters also called for the repeal of the USA PATRIOT Act.

A pro-war demonstration in Washington organized by Free Republic attracted only dozens (BBC estimate) of people.

As part of the 2004 Republican National Convention protests, United for Peace and Justice organized a mass march, one of the largest in U.S. history, in which protesters marched past Madison Square Garden, the site of the convention. The march included hundreds of separate contingents as well as individual marchers. The group One Thousand Coffins held a procession of one thousand full-scale flag-draped cardboard coffins, commemorating each of the U.S. fallen troops as of that date, carried by a nationwide coalition of citizens, veterans, clergy and families of the fallen. Several hundred members of Billionaires for Bush held a mock countermarch. Estimates of crowd size ranged from 120,000 (unnamed police spokesman) to over 500,000 (organizers, second unnamed police source).[58] In March, 2007 NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne stated about the RNC protests: "You certainly had 800,000 on August 29th."[59]
