First they came for the rich????
“First they came for the rich. And I did not speak out because I was not rich. Then they came for the property owners, and I did not speak out because I did not own property. Then they came for the right to bear arms, and I did not speak out because I was not armed. Then they came for me and denied me my medical care, and there was no one left to speak for me,”
– Laura Ingraham, protesting the Senate healthcare bill at a rally in DC.


Just saw this on the Daily Show. My god how soulless are these people?

3. or brains, or sense of irony
I wonder what their next movement will be called, after the Teabaggers are done. Rusty trombones?

2. Stewart's Lieberman is priceless
Love it when he does Lieberman.
If it is respect Lieberman is after he is NOT getting it from anyone but the repubs.

5. And yet these stupid, stupid people are beating us...
I'm wondering how. I just don't understand.

A few days ago I was ravaged with unrecs for recommending dissent and nonviolent action. This is a war, people.

11. They'd never come for the rich.
Does not happen...ever.
Does not compute. You are right. It makes no sense.

12. Only once, the French revolution.
OK, Russian revolution too.

Maybe the Roman Empire as well. But they came after every Roman, so maybe that one doesn't count.

She is right to worry about that. They keep doing what they are doing, and someday, when we have little left to lose, maybe we WILL come for them.

Right now, if there was a bill to seize all assets over $25M from every multi-millionaire and billionaire that lives in the US, for use to pay down our debt and make loans to people to stimulate the economy, I'd be for it. Have to seize all assets, both foreign, domestic, and owned by immediate family members.

8. Yeah, the rich are so downtrodden aren't they?
Let me get out my tiny violin and play a sad song for them. :nopity:

What a colossal jackass she is!

9. If I were to say Pony, would that lock the thread or remove my post? This thread is perfect.

10. Besides horridness and frankly gaucheness of that, it was really
stupid. I'm hoping she didn't have a clue and some jerk wrote that for her who was an intern troll, but if she knew about it and wrote it herself, it's really heinous and despicable.

13. Laura Ingraham seems to be suffering from an allergic reaction to her own skin cause...
she's always trying to gnaw her way outside of it
