Activists staged “competing rallies” outside of Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy’s (D-OH) district office yesterday, in a noisy, often confrontational attempt to influence the undecided congresswoman’s vote. At one point, a man with a sign saying he has Parkinson’s disease and needs help sat down in front of the reform opponents. Several protesters mocked the man, calling him a “communist,” with one derisively “throwing money at him.” “If you’re looking for a handout you’re in the wrong end of town,” another man said. Watch it (at approximately 0:51):
After the protests, Kilroy released a statement thanking “both sides for making their views known” and promising to rely on “the voices of my constituents” when making her final decision. (HT: Raw Story and DailyKos)
M.C.L comment: This is the kind of thinking that goes on in the mind of the average right winger, I got mine and the hell with you, the right wing media have trained their followers to think two ways one nothing is going to happen to them and if something does happen you got lazy and lazy people are liberals that vote Democrats and the second thought is right wing media tells them this hey you're one or two paychecks away from living the high life like us, so why would you want to belong to ideology or political party that's going to take away your hard earn money and give it to those lazy(code word for minorities) people?
But here's the dirty little secret Mr. and Mrs. right wing American don't want to tell if by chance Mr. and Mrs. right wing American join the ranks of those they mocked they either be the first and the loudest ones screaming for that socialist help or Mr. right wing American will simply take his own life because he doesn't know how to deal with things.
