Politics "Shame of You" Says It All

Posted by on Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 2:40 PM

This is not as funny as the last video I put up. Wonkette just posted this video of a woman who yells "Heil Hitler" at an Israeli at a Las Vegas Town Hall meeting about health care. And then she makes a hideous, hellish noise, and then the video's over. It's got all the stomach-turning heartbreak of last year's Palin/McCain rally videos without any of the hilarity.

That's Max, from Sunset Boulevard. I've been wondering how he's doing...

Did I honestly see an adult mock someone like a 5 year old?

Come on, that "mattress sale" line is pretty hilarious.

Commence smear campaign now. The powers of the internet were able to expose Joe the Plummer for the douche he really is. Someone needs to find out who this woman is and let the world know what an abominable racist she is.

She should be snuffed.

She makes a strange noise, yes, but it's part of her miming "You're a crybaby."

I don't tend to use the word cunt in my day to day life, but it's hard for me to think of any other word right now.

These people are despicable (the Hitler references are shitty always, but definitely beyond tactless to an Israeli). And the debate tactics? Wailing?

Each day I lose more and more faith in the American people. This is depressing.

Wow. That woman is just a horrible human being. Her lack of empathy and human understanding is unfathomable. She just might be one of the worst people I've ever seen.

That woman was at a town hall meeting in Florida too, also anti gov't insurance, also yelly. I can't find the vid on youtube (probably because searching for "town hall florida conservative woman" isn't really specific enough).

Wow. Her t-shirt says something about Israel, but I can't make it out. If you watch one of the other videos, she smugly talks about how health care isn't a right, and how her husband has three jobs but no health care coverage, and how the system needs to be reformed because costs are too high. Oh yeah, and how she adheres to "Christian values", which apparently include mocking folks of other faiths for their $8000 ER bills. It makes me hope that there is an Old Testament smiting God (who was pretty fond of the Jews, on occasion, I think) with something malignant aimed in her direction.

Yes, the woman is scary stupid, but the scary weird thing about the video were the extremely large men who stood arms crossed (protecting her?) by the woman almost immediately after the confrontation began.

Yeah those people that immediately defended her from the (RIGHTLY) loud upset foreigner deserve the same amount of scorn.

Wow! Just when you thought conservatives couldn't get even more ignorant, stupid, idiotic, and hateful. If anyone have seen the second part of this video the baleful woman doesn't have health care, neither does her sick husband. But you see this all over the right-wing. Their bigotry and hatred of having a Black president supersedes their own best interest.
