Tea Party activist David McKalip, who sent out the now-famous picture of Obama as a witch doctor, is now reaching out to the very progressives who sent him hate mail, calling on them to unite in a left-right coalition to "Stop the Final Corporate Takeover of Medicine."

In what he describes as "a call to action from an unlikely ally," McKalip, the Florida neurosurgeon who recently appeared as an anti-reform expert on Glen Beck's show, tells progressives to call their House representatives and "tell them 'No to the Senate Bill!'"

"Last July many of you emailed me to express your anger over an email I forwarded on that was offensive. ... Clearly you take action when the time is right and you follow the debate closely," he writes. "I kept your email addresses because I identify with fighters like you and I know that you are likely as worried as I am about insurance companies being in charge of your medical care and our health care system."

further down the rabbit hole, people.

1. Follow the teabaggers, naysayers!

There's the leader you're looking for. Off with ye.

[Teaser]

2. clearly, the teabaggers secretly support this corporate giveaway

[Richardo]

7. Yes, they can have lots of fun debating whether its a government takeover or a corporate takeover

...and they'll both be as wrong as they are today.

[girl gone mad]

12. Maybe it's just an a-hole takeover.

Speaking of fun get togethers..

[girl gone mad]

10. lol..

I bet Rahm is trying to recruit him to run as a (D) as we speak.

Gotta reach out across the aisle, you know? Compromise is everything.

This is the man who holds the most power in the Senate, after all:



The White House loves making his dreams come true.

[Armstead]

17. Jeeze that;s a scary looking photo

[ellie]

3. I received this in my e-mail yesterday

and when I saw who it was from, I was like, "Hey! Isn't that that racist asshole from Florida?" And it was! What a fucker.

[Bullet1987]

4. Umm...COINTELPRO?

[Teaser]

5. Interesting that this was downrecced

seems pretty inoffensive.

[Jamastiene]

6. Not in this lifetime.n/t

[Yuugal]

8. "Last July many of you emailed me to express your anger "

Teehee. Nice try pucker-hole.

"I kept your email addresses because I identify with fighters like you "

Uh, yeah. The only thing I like about this Rahmscam HCR is the fact that you guys hate it so much. It can't be totally bad then can it?

Good find Teaser. LOL, these guys slay me.

9. If the teabaggers only understood who was screwing them, we'd have quite a populist storm brewing

If only the "common people" on each side could join forces against the elites--Goldman Sachs, Insurance Companies, etc. Actually, I don't think it's that unlikely.

[girl gone mad]

13. They're all too brainwashed by RW media blowhards.

The hate is impossible to penetrate.

[rudy23]

14. If you start off with, "I'm pissed at Obama too, and here's why"

Then talk about how the elites of each party lead the idealists around by the nose (just like Bush), then point to the elites on the other side as part of the problem---while they work together to screw us.

It's a tall task indeed, but maybe, just MAYBE that's the way to get through to them and start to join forces against the corporate machine.

19. LULZ!

I remember trying this with the World Bank/WTO protests in the late 90s.

Eventually, you realize you can't work with people who believe that the Federal Reserve is a satanic Masonic plot and that Washington DC is inscribed onto a giant Pentagram.

But hey, knock yourself out.

[Clio the Leo]

11. So with all due respect to Gov Dean and Big Ed....

.... HUSH!

Y'all are smart enough to know that the GOP is only going to use your words against you in the future.

[Armstead]

16. The GOP is oging to use everything -- including what Obama says and what supporters say

So we should be so afraid to act or speak because the GOP will use it against us?

The fact is that they will use everything against us. That's a given. That includes anything Obama has ever said and anything Tom Harkin has said and anything Bernie Sanders has said and anything Bill Clinton has said.

[Armstead]

15. More phony guilt by association? Great.

yes teabaggers are opposed to health reform because it does "too much."

"The left" is critical of this HCR because it doesn't do enough.

Therefore "the left" are really just like right wing teabaggers.

Superb logic.


Joe McCarthy would be proud of some "Democrats" these days.

[jonnyblitz]

18. imagine the howls from the apologists if we play the "guilt by

association" with the Afghan war escalation. :crazy:
