2. There's a joke to be made here about rations and who's obviously getting their share.
But I ain't gonna say it.

3. God, they really are dumber than dirt, aren't they?
And there's rationing NOW, you stupid bitch. There will ALWAYS be rationing in medicine because there's a finite supply and infinite demand.

and are now living on government pensions, SS and Medicare.

11. I think Medicare supplemental insurance pays for those - not Medicare.
Not your fault, though. We've all been purposely confused because the government allowed insurance companies to use the word, "Medicare" when peddling their stick-it-to-the-working-class crap they call supplemental health insurance.

26. I still use one.
No way I could carry a purse and do my job.

Fanny packs are a great accessory.

I haven't been "in fashion" except for about 3 months in 1972.

24. Umm, methinks it's been photoshopped...
Not that I dispute the lack of critical thinking expressed in stereotypical poor spelling, but. . . What tipped me off was the spacing of "lifelong Democrat": When the sign was lettered it would have to have anticipated the man's head blocking some of the lettering when the picture was taken, thus the words were moved to the right; if the photo was unshopped it would likely show the first two or three letters obscured by the man's head. I'm lousy at photoshop (see below), but I've painted enough signs to spot the problem.

anyhoo...

29. I'm not saying there isn't plenty here to ridicule, even if the sign's not real
Edited on Tue Jun-08-10 04:38 PM by Berry Cool
but do we have to start in with the fat jokes again?

It seems it's never a far trip from ridiculing teabaggers to making fun of how FAT some of them are.

And I really don't see how fat is the issue, with them any more than it is, or should be, with us.

Do we want universal health care just because so many of us are lazy and fat and want the taxpayer to subsidize our lazy fatness? That's what many of them believe.

I do think it makes sense to ridicule them for protesting federal health care when some of them are obvious recipients already, but I think when it leads to jokes about "Twinkie packs" and the like, it's beneath us.

47. "...it's beneath us."
Holding that attitude is exactly why the Rightists will win EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Yes, the fat jokes are necessary. Because ridicule is the only thing that will make these idiots think twice before spouting off with their nonsense. Well, that and violence...

If they know that they are going to be roundly mocked every time they make a public appearance, they'll quit making public appearances. Which would be good, yes? Mock their retarded ideas, yes, but also mock their weight, their height, their baldness, their hirsuteness, mock anything and everything in order to push these fucking assholes back into the darkness where they belong.

That fat bitch needs to learn that the big pan on Golden Corral's buffet line is for everyone, not jut her.

But I won't try to insult her intelligence -- too small a target. ;-)

32. What's with the symbolic hating?
WTF is going on here?

I mean, I've heard some evil right-wingers, and seen some stupid political signs. Some days I wonder if there's any other kind.

This isn't even in the ballpark. The sign is actually kind of obscure, unless it's a media talking point I'm missing, and she's just not model material, but so? Most people aren't.

What's with all the hating, and the in-group slapping-on-the-back, and class and category-based random insults? They're thises and they're that's and they're all like this and they all do that... The 'discussion' sounds like a pack of mean monkeys tearing the wings off of a bird. You all seem to be hating an imaginary bugaboo as big and frightening as the one threatening the right wing.

What for?

44. Quite honestly, this looks photo-shopped to me.
- the crisp sign corners - bright pink sign without glare or shadow - text seems to be typed in lieu of printed or stenciled.

I'm pretty sure there are real examples of lousy signs out there. Why the photo-shop?

45. Perhaps someone should ration her oxygen and take her government supplied scooter away from her.
Then force her to diet and exercise. It would do her wonders.

53. No, she's right...
...rationing continues. The wealthy, especially members of congress, get all the healthcare they need/want. The poor who cannot afford to buy coverage will continue to do without. And face a penalty for not being able to afford coverage.

The health insurance companies will continue to deny claims, piling up profits while dumping on citizens.

This is why we need Medicare for all. The "reform" is so watered down it's laughable.
