Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Diseases caused by worms and parasites are draining the health and energy of the poorest Americans, according to tropical disease expert Peter Hotez, and climate change may bring third-world ailments like dengue fever and Chagas disease to the U.S. "It's amazing what we tolerate," he said.

Well according to some of our more "enlightened" right wing loons, the poor are a parasite on their success.

Thought this was about televangelists....

"Diseases caused by worms and parasites are draining the health and energy of the poorest Americans"

YEAH!

Why should I care?

Sincerely

Vern "If I Wasnt a Christian" Oorahhhh

"Diseases caused by worms and parasites are draining the health and energy of the poorest Americans"

We all get a case of the worms eventually...

...unless we're cremated that is.

Red,

So are you a worm or a parasite? I can't quite figure it out.

YEAH!

Why not ask your inner Jesus? Out of quarters again are you?

two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar as a daily regimen is in order.

also - one cause of parasites in people lies mainly in the fact they allow their pets to sleep with them.

wash all fruits and vegetables before eating. make sure any fish you catch is also cleaned thoroughly before cooking.

keep yourself clean.

we have only filtered rainwater at our cabin for eight years - six of which we lived there. there is NEVER a good excuse to be filthy.

"there is NEVER a good excuse to be filthy."

Unless it's the filthy rich making their money the old fashioned way....

....as parasites living off the poor.

Not all the rich. But enough.

And diseases associated with the developing world, such as dengue fever and Chagas disease, may become a bigger problem for the United States as the climate changes, said Dr. Peter Hotez of George Washington University and the Sabin Vaccine Institute in Washington.

Of course!!! You need a disease to fight if you are going to sell vaccines.

Oh yeah. "As the Climate Changes"

Everyone is out to profit on this climate change crap!!!

This is just God's way of thinning out the herd.

Let's see;

I work, I contribute to society (can't wait to hear the rebuttle), I have health insurance, I don't have these problems.

Poor people.... well, nuff said.

"climate change may bring third-world ailments like dengue fever and Chagas disease to the U.S. "It's amazing what we tolerate," he said."

Or, maybe third world immigration may bring third world ailments to the US.

It truly is amazing what we tolerate.

I work, I contribute to society

The other day you said you were retired and playing golf, while you were accusing all the libruls of slacking. Make up your mind.

We're all plagued by parasites; downsizers, outsourcers, corporate lobyists etc.

That description fits Wall Street and Washington perfectly.

Do the poor have parasites and worms because they are poor or because they are stupid?

The King James version, which I'm sure you were weaned on:

"Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

(That's Jesus' way of saying you are chaff, and know not what you do)

"Latinos" bringing their third world shit up here again. What a wonderful, hard working people. I don't care if they 'work hard'. It's no excuse for bringing down our wages, profiting big corporations, sucking up our tax money, dividing our communities, flooding our classrooms, crime, drug trafficking,etc... and now diseases and parasites. God bless the aclu for protecting them from deporation. What the f()ck!!?? What happened to America?

Links, papers, data - please provide something that doesn't sound like racist bullshit.

Bringing down our wages?! Have you noticed a lot of the mega-conglomerates ARE IN MEXICO? The technical, telephone, telecommute jobs that used to pay $12/average are paying considerably less in a nation with little worker rights. Also, those American companies get massive tax breaks for doing so. Take your opinions and stuff them back up your backside.

BEATLDUNG,

Your post makes no sense as usual. If these people have worms and parasites because they are stupid fucks then they need a lot more than some medicine. As a Christian, I would love to help them but first I would give them the following sermon: YOU ARE STUPID FUCKS AND HAVE WORMS AND PARASITES. WE COULD GIVE YOU MEDICINE BUT BEING SO FUCKING STUPID YOU WOULD PROBABLY BECOME REINFECTED. WE HAVE ENOUGH STUPID PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY ALREADY, WE CALL THEM DEMOCRATS. NOW GO BACK TO MEXICO OR WHEREVER YOU CAME FROM AND GET A BOOK ON PERSONAL HYGIENE!!!

Being poor does not mean you cannot be clean - poor hygiene is more due to lack of upbringing/education than a money issue.

Have they ever heard of cleaning their home up? Thoes problems come from living in filth.

Actually, the Mexicans really ARE doing what he said. Jobs that used to pay a man enough to make house payments nowadays barely scrape minimum wage. The old fallacy of "they do work white people don't want to" is ridiculous. I'd LOVE to do the work. Any work. I just want a living wage for it. Hell, I'd settle for 9 bucks an hour right now. I realize I can't compete with people willing to pack 10 deep into one bedroom apartments.. but honestly... America is supposed to be better then that.

Oh.. but I can't compete for that, either. Some goddamned Mexican broker stole my identity, and they've done it so fucking well that I can't even get a credit check on myself because my own credit profile has a password on it that I don't know, because the REAL me didn't put the damned thing on there.

And a background check on myself reveals I am both working in some other state, for $5.50 an hour at a factory... AND I'm working at a Wal-Mart as an overnight cleaner. AND presently in jail in Colorado. It's hard to get a job when a background check says you are _in_ jail.

Kinda sad that the fake me's have jobs, and I just got canned from mine for "lying on the application" about my work history. I didn;t, but according to a background check on me, I sure did. Le sigh.

I am longwinded, meh? Point is...

Just because it's not happening to YOU, douchebag, doesn't mean it's not happening.

That is incredibly fucked up.

My jobs have all been outsourced, Mexico being just one location. I had an interview this morning with a place I detest, but rent and food are necessary. There are no jobs available that exclusively Mexicans will do. That's a fake argument to dilute that outsourcing is forcing the living wage down, not immigrants.

Do you really think that I was purposefully looking to ridicule someone? Re-read my post, put the douche away.

Mercury is good for you! - US Mainstream Media Report
In light of what we do know about the neurological effects of mercury ion exposure, I find it inconceivable that this report was made, let alone that two scientific reports on pediatrics confirm it. The AMA is consistently unbelievable.

There are no jobs available that exclusively Mexicans will do. That's a fake argument to dilute that outsourcing is forcing the living wage down, not immigrants.

It's not just Mexicans doing non-skilled menial labor that's dragging down our wages. It's insourcing from foreign countries like India all coming in here on H-1 type visas taking millions of American jobs. And once they get here on those visas even if they lose those jobs they never leave the country and we taxpayers end up supporting them.

Hillary Clinton got huge donations from an Indian company here in the U.S. -- TatTa Corporation -- who insourced tens of thousands of Indians to come to America, take our jobs here and work dirt cheap. These basic level tech workers aren't the high skilled workers that Bill Gates keeps whining the U.S. cannot produce so he needs more H1 visas but are low level basic skilled tech workers doing tech jobs many Americans can do. These greedy globalist like Bill Gates just don't want to pay a decent living wage.

America is turning into a third world country. I mean major city streets in South Central Los Angeles have roosters crossing the street, farm animals in city back yards, diseases coming in that were never here before. We better regain control of our country and our jobs before it's too late, but look at the presidential candiates -- both open border globalists who will do nothing to help Americans.

CC - this was pertaining to Mexican immigrants, not just the flood of Pakistani, Indian and other pre-fab workforce replacements.

Otherwise, I completely agree - some of them are flown in just to learn how the American model works so that it can be moved offshore. Unbeknownst to me, I was actually teaching my replacement just prior to the alleged "dot com bubble" - talk about galling. I told we were expanding, but that was entirely a lie. They had already made arrangements to part out the company, again the workers not knowing anything. And then my stock plummeted and I'm left with NOTHING. Management far above purchased homes in far off locations, probably to avoid meeting any of the ex-employees.

Also, I trust Mexican food from my neighbors 1000% over any USDA labels assurances of nutritional value.

Greedy Political Whores!

The most damaging plague on America's poor,by far is Washington politicians,who are primarily greedy and willing whores for Corporate America!

Agreed.

You must be a stone gas at parties.

Actually unFwthomable is traditionally compared to gallstones or kidneystones at parties.

Not favorably either.

Be Well.

Well, perhaps not in the direct sense of it. But there sure are a lot of jobs that white people just can't get because, and I quote from the boss of a trash collector job I could not get. "I've gone Mexican. If I hire you, you wouldn't understand your co-worker or boss." Me: "why did you... 'go Mexican?'" Him: "They're a hell of a lot cheaper." Me: *four letter words*

That sounds a hell of a lot like a job only Mexicans will/can do. Also sounds like "taking my job away from me on both ends." Yeah, outsourcing hurts, also. My CompTIA A+, Net +, and Linux + are now useless certifications, because I don't live in India.

And I DESPISE that bullhuckey about how India produces more tech workers. They do not. They just have a lot of diploma farms over there. Most of these people when I call in don't even know what the @$%@ an IRQ is.

So, I'll amend my statement, "Just because it's not ONLY happening that way, doesn't mean it's not HAPPENING."

Am I angry about this? Yes. It's disgusting bullshit that my wife has to work while I flounder around trying to either get the government to listen to me, and give me my identity back; or find a job that won't do a background check. Can't do the first because.. fuck, I dunno. My own mother even testified that I am me, and nothing happened. Can't do the second thing because THOSE jobs are taken by illegal Mexicans. It drives me insane.


Cure for worms and parasites = chewing tobacco.

We don't have enough poor people in this country so we have to import 20 million from Mexico. Now there's a job most Americans don't want.

YEAH!

Speaking of Filth!

You turds do know that despite ones wealth or "cleanliness" you can get parasites by simply swimming or dinning at any Four Star! As a matter of fact I recall a reported story not so long ago about a group of tourists all contracting the H Pillory when on vacation ----- in Israel.

So here are some facts, I know they threaten your self esteem session you all have going on but:

Some parasites (e.g. pinworms) can be transmitted through the air and are in the dust we breathe.
Naegleria fowleri is a fairly common amoeba which lives harmlessly among decaying vegetation near the shallow shores of freshwater lakes with warm water (77 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit) in the southern states of the USA such as Florida, Texas, and Arizona.
Cryptosporidiosis has become one of the most common causes of waterborne disease within humans in the USA. This parasite protozoa may be found in drinking water and recreational water in every region of the United States and throughout the world.
Wells and cisterns can sometimes be contaminated by runoff from septic systems when there is heavy rain.
Unpasteurized apple cider and apple juice has also been the cause of a crypto outbreak.
Yup, you people are so sad!

" I mean major city streets in South Central Los Angeles have roosters crossing the street, farm animals in city back yards, diseases coming in that were never here before. "

Chris, I hate to break it to you, but my grandparents lived in Inglewood in the '60's, and they had a chicken coop. I remember they had brown eggs, and every once in a while we had chicken for Sunday dinner. There are horse up the street from me, there were horses up the street from me when I lived in Oceanside and Vista, the fact is you have an issue with who is owning what type of "farm animal".

"And I DESPISE that bullhuckey about how India produces more tech workers. They do not. They just have a lot of diploma farms over there. Most of these people when I call in don't even know what the @$%@ an IRQ is."

Lately I have been dealing with some people exactly as you are describing. I am learning a new database program and the help desk is, of course,outsourced to you know where. It is vitually useless. I usually figure out the answer to my own question before those nit wits go find out the answer.

The worms and parasites are being infected by worms and parasites? How fitting.

Sincerely,

The GOP

The early bird gets the worm. Maybe they should sleep in a bit.

Posted by rightisright at 2008-06-27 07:42 AM

yes! But, what does the early worm get?

...eaten!

So, there you have it the answer is the poor can eat the worms and parasites thus solving two problems at once! The poor get fed and the worms and parasites get cleaned up!

See! I can think like a Republican too!

Why not ask your inner Jesus?

I don't what an 'inner Jesus' could be, so I asked my common sense.

You are a retard, a bigot, a moron and a fool -- and they are all voluntary

This is among the reasons I came back to New Hampshire after living in California for 12 years. I hold the cold winters here keep the diaspora down south.

The bogus paratrooper would remind us all that REAL MEN take worms and parasites and shove baseball bats up their asses, and anyone who says differently is a whimp, pussy, coward, marxist and traitor. Maybe socialist, even. herm
