Take Your Teabagging Like A Man, Socialist, Healthcare-Lovin’ Lapdog [UPDATED w/ Pelosi=Mengele pic]
This video, titled “Congresswoman McCarthy… whereabouts unknown, office staff clueless,” is a hoot and a half. Four teabaggers “storm” Rep. Carolyn McCarthy’s office in Garden City, NY and harass her exceedingly patient district director by saying the word “constituents” a lot and reading from a bullshit bullet-pointed list outlining what’s allegedly in HR 3200 (while scolding the director for not reading the bill). The title of the video (“whereabouts unknown”) lets you know right off the bat that these teabaggers have no interest in anything resembling the truth, because the director clearly tells them in the video that McCarthy is home recovering from back surgery.
My favorite parts are provided by He Who Shall Be Called Squiggy, who intently studies a single sheet of paper containing “facts” about HR 3200 (the actual bill content here—PDF) and occasionally blurts out portions of it while asking the director if he’s read the bill. The only problem with Squiggy’s “portions” is that they didn’t come from the bill at all, they were cobbled together from a series of rightwing myths about HR 3200 (PDF) that have been circulating around the web since late July. In fact, Squiggy’s portions match up almost word-for-word with wingnut columnist Bill Roe’s “reading” of the bill in the scholarly publication Bluffton Today on July 30th. Something tells me McCarthy’s district director isn’t the only person who hasn’t read the bill.
RELATED: Here’s a photo of the teabaggers in Garden City (via). Notice the sign in the back comparing Nancy Pelosi to Joseph Mengele. Charming. And “gaskammern” is German for “gas chambers.” Anyone want to translate the rest of it?
