Health care reform protesters mock man carrying sign saying he has Parkinson’s disease.
Activists staged “competing rallies” outside of Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy’s (D-OH) district office yesterday, in a noisy, often confrontational attempt to influence the undecided congresswoman’s vote. At one point, a man with a sign saying he has Parkinson’s disease and needs help sat down in front of the reform opponents. Several protesters mocked the man, calling him a “communist,” with one derisively “throwing money at him.” “If you’re looking for a handout you’re in the wrong end of town,” another man said.

I and every single blogger should post this most disgusting video.
You conservatives who oppose this healthcare bill to the point where you have such hate in your hearts for suffering Americans, is beyond comprehension. The video of screaming idiots hatefully bashing a man with Parkinson's, telling him to get a job, throwing money at him because he is at a rally asking for this bill to be passed so people like him can have insurance, it's just sickening. I am careful not to lump all conservatives into one group but my God people this is embarrassing and I would be mortified to be a part of a group who has such hate. Can anybody give me an example of liberals who despise their American brothers and sisters so bad to treat them the way these conservatives are treating this man?? I don't fuckin think so!
