Last week we saw an incredible display of hatred and lack of sympathy from participants of an anti-health care reform rally held in Columbus, Ohio at the office of Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy. Across the nation, people have seen the clip of a man with Parkinson's disease sitting quietly in front of the teabaggers holding a sign while getting screamed at and having dollar bills thrown at him.
The tosser has been identified and guess what? He's not a liberal plant as some have suggested. He is Chris Reichert of Victorian Village in Columbus, Ohio. For those of you not familiar with Columbus neighborhoods, Victorian Village is a beautifully restored area and it takes some serious money to live there.
At first Reichert denied being involved, but the tape didn't lie. He has come forward to admit his is ashamed of his actions and he doesn't have an excuse for why he did what he did that day. He also says he'll never go to another political rally, which is rather sad, because no one should feel barred from protesting. Perhaps this experience helped Mr. Reichert realize he doesn't have the temperament to attend such events.

and that's the last thing that needs to happen.
I know many of us wanted to know who this jerk (and the loudmouth jerk) was, but I doubt that anyone would physically harm him or his family. He'd get told off, that's for certain though. There might be someone out there who'd punch him in the mouth though, I won't deny that.
The teabaggers are getting known for their ridiculous, violent, and aggressive behavior and words. They get all stirred up by asshats like Rush and Moosegutter and Glenny Poo. They send threatening faxes to representatives. They hold rallies as close to the White House as they can get with guns.
Best the teabaggers could come up with was "he's a liberal plant."
Persons are smart. People are stupid.
I have never got that....those peope say that abortion is murder and murder is wrong and to show you how wrong it is they will murder you.
I never understand what they're trying to accomplish with their murders and death threats. Sort of re-enforces their once you're born, ef you philosophy.
I always think its funny that Repubs and tea baggers want the government to keep out of their lives but they demand the government be in all womens uterus'.
And I have seen footage of those teabaggers and protesting at planned parenthood is the closest they are ever likely to get to a uterus
