Irony, it’s what’s for dessert

by Jon DeVore — Monday, 8/10/09, 8:48 am

A conservative activist who opposes health care reform and who claims “union thugs” roughed him up in St. Louis doesn’t have health care insurance. So the righties are taking up a collection, which is nice, because it’s nice to help people.

You just can’t make this stuff up.

(Props to TPM.)

    Yawn. Another negative post from John. All he can do is bash and belittle. Never a pro-Democratic post.

    I believe John is one of the most intolerant and hate-filled writers on this blog.

    Troll,

    Your comments have become boring and repetitive. The HA Comment Policy specifically lists “deliberately repetitive comments” as unacceptable.

    Please whine and pout about something fresh and original in subsequent “comments.”

    Classic.

    Reminded me of the anti-abortion zealot who brings her daughter in for an abortion and then resumes protesting the very same clinic the next day.

    If this guy goes to the emergency room, I want the teabaggers to picket and demand that they not be charged for his health care!!!

    Question: Who is crazier?

    (a) Sarah Palin, for embracing the fanatical, loony conspiracy theory that Pres. Obama is organizing “death panels” to come to kill her infant son, or
    (b) Lou Dobbs, for embracing the fanatical, loony conspiracy theory that Pres. Obama is not a natural born citizen of the United States of America.

    Answer: They are both equally crazy.

    i love this guy is injured enough to be in a wheelchair, but before the cops come by, is walking around and seems to be fine, then waves like a fanatic at the police.

    i injured my neck, shoulder and back in a car accident. i could still walk around, but there was no way i could wave my arms about like a goofy moron. i could barely hold my friggin head up.

    It turns out that he actually has insurance, although that hasn’t stopped him from collecting donations. This story gets weirder with each passing day.

    This clown is on Dave Ross right now.

    Plain and simple: he is just being propped up by a conservative scumbag lawyer. He was selling buttons at a Carnaghan protest.

    The guy doesn’t have an opinion one way or another.

    More proof right wingers are grasping at straws.

    I heard the guy who “got beat up by union thugs” on KIRO today. Each time he tried to say something about how he’s undecided about the health care debate, his sleezy lawyer would intervene to try and put words in his mouth. Shameful.
