It's Not a Tea Party Until You Laugh at Someone's Suffering!

At a town hall held by Democrat Dan Lipinski earlier this month, a couple was relating a heart-wrenching story to their representative about why they feel health care reform is critical. Their story about how they believe the death of their pregnant 24-year-old daughter is directly attributable to her inability to afford insurance and rely strictly on emergency room care is incredibly tragic.

To add to the tragedy, the fine folks over at the Chicago Tea Party Patriots were more than happy to contribute. Catherina Wojtowicz, a good patriotic American who believes President Barack Obama is not a citizen, and her tea partiers were eager to shout her down and laugh at her loss.

But that doesn't mean that these tea baggers are cruel! They only did it because this woman was one of the operatives of that Kenyan in the White House who "go from event to event and [cry] the same story."

Otherwise, these actions would be inexcusable.

Dana Perino: No Terrorist Attacks During Bush's Term

Right-Wingers Disagree With a Woman, So She's Clearly a Hooker

Senator Mary Landrieu, a conservative Democrat from Louisiana, tepidly voted last weekend to allow debate on a health care bill in the Senate. This wasn't a vote in favor of health care reform, mind you, simply a vote to ALLOW THE SENATE TO DEBATE IT. She apparently came to this conclusion after striking a deal that would bring in $300 million in much needed federal aid to the State of Louisiana.

Voting to allow a debate was more than enough to freak out Republicans.

Straight away on Monday, Rush Limbaugh called her a prostitute.

Glenn Beck, already having a history of calling women he disagrees with prostitutes, joined in on the action multiple times in one day, calling her a "high-class prostitute" on his radio show, and then saying on his FOX News broadcast that "We know you're hooking, but you're just not cheap."

This meme also not-so-surprisingly found it's way over to Mark Halperin's blog over at Time. With a "funny" spin on the scene from "There's Something About Mary" where Cameron Diaz mistakes semen for hair gel. This memorable scene:



became this:



Get it? It's funny because she's a woman! And clearly, if you disagree with a woman, it must be because she has semen in her hair.

Consistency of Conservatism

Politicians, like most people, change their minds. They learn new information and their opinions (hopefully) evolve accordingly.

If you're a conservative, however, you just pretend like you've never believed any differently.
