Tea Party protesters lack compassion, heckle grieving mother
The Examiner / Chris Walker
25-Nov-2009 (10 comments)

At a recent town hall event in Illinois held by Rep. Dan Lipinski, several members of the Chicago Tea Party Patriots attended in order to publicly heckle the Democratic representative.
They booed his comments, chanted "USA!" over his statements, and appeared to care very little for actually listening to what the member of Congress had to say about health care reform.

When a supporter of health reform stood up to talk about her daughter's personal story of a system gone wrong, it didn't seem to matter.

Midge Hough, whose daughter and unborn granddaughter died partly due to lacking health insurance, spoke candidly about the need for a public option and other reforms necessary to help this country. She spoke of her daughter's tragic ordeal, of having to leave one hospital to enter
another, of having to lie to that second hospital about having insurance simply so they could be seen by a doctor.
If there was any sympathy for Hough and her family in that room, it was hard to spot. Some reports and eyewitness accounts speak of eye-rolling, of continued heckling, and >>>

Kashani, you are second to none when it gets to fascism

I aint quitin till yall Leftist loonies quit, and till IRI quits opressing my homies in Iran.  

If you really arefrom Iran and truely respect Iranians, you would then disclose your religion association. After all, isn't you that constantly attack Islam and discuss Christianity and Islam here at Iranian.com so often.

So disclose your religion if you have any respect for it, otherwise assume silence talking about Iranian's religion not to mention your fake "brotherhood"!

Sage koochooloo: you are right and I should have refrain

To engage and make such comment.. It just that all the abuse comments that I had got previously from this individual helped to loose self control. So, here I am offering my apology first to FK and then to every one else for a bad joke I made.

Capy ayhab,

I is for freedom of speech more than a Islamic Fascism supporter like you can ever be, dawg!

Yeah, thats what I is tellin yall!

I aint quitin till yall Leftist loonies quit, and till IRI quits opressing my homies in Iran.

the only sinking ship in the Middle East right now is the IRI regime, which you love. IRaqis and Afghanis are giving their lives supporting their new democratic government, in Iran, people are giving their lives fighting their undemocratic illigal regime.

IRANdokht,   As I said

IRANdokht,

 

As I said to Capt Ayhab, I guess everyone is free to join the sinking ship of people who created this BS anti Bush propaganda.

 

Just please remember, the average person is NOT dumb. They can clearly read between the lines. False propaganda fools NO ONE.

 

Movafagh bashi azizam.

I wasn't trying to demonize the tea baggers, they did it all on their own.

IRANdokht,   The problem

by Farhad Kashani on Wed Nov 25, 2009 04:22 PM PST

IRANdokht,  

The problem with some is, they think that others don’t know what they are trying to say “indirectly”. Yes I read the article, but you clearly know, and I know, what you were trying to say, you are demonizing tea party people. Please don’t deny that. You just found one example to use it to emphasize your point.

 Capt Ayhab,  

And no one expects anything rational, objective or logical from someone like you who till June 12th was openly, and since then, indirectly, supports the Fascist regime of IRI.

Why don’t you come out

by Bijan A M on Wed Nov 25, 2009 04:19 PM PST

And promote the heathcare bill with public option. No need to hide behind all these soap operas. If you believe OBAMA’S Idea about healthcare reform including public option is the way to go, write a blog to defend it and propose it.  The trick to get people’s emotion high without looking at the consequences of an action is old and ineffective.

 I can give you hundreds of contradicting scenarios from Canada and UK. Don’t try to over simplify the case with a single news report.

Did you read the article? If some grieving mother talks about her daughter in law who died while 7 months pregnant and people boo her, laugh at her, and heckle her, would you say they are just expressing their different opinion or is their hate in the way of what would be considered human compassion?

I did not write this article and I (thank GOD) was not the one who was in mourning and laughed at. I simply recommended this article for people to see what hate is doing to this people. You think it's a difference of opinion? you should have seen this woman shaking, embarrassed and disgusted by the way she was treated while she tried to speak of her loss.

IRANdokht, you really

by Farhad Kashani on Wed Nov 25, 2009 03:50 PM PST

IRANdokht,

you really think whom you call "tea party" people, are "hateful" people? Honestly? Do you know how strong that word is?

What have they done to make you think they are "hateful" besides having a point of view that is contrary to yours?
