Tea Party Participants in San Jose Show Their True Colors Pt. I

the last picture, with the white dude holding the 'boxer is condescending to black people" sign is priceless.

Apparently a Republican African-American got after Boxer once when she made assumptions about his beliefs (assuming he was a liberal). I guess its on Youtube or something, but the Tea Party dude really latched onto that little incident. These tea party types are incensed that anyone would call them racist so bend over backwards to try to prove they aren't. They really are kind of out of touch with reality.

With Obama and the Democratic Party leadership including probably Boxer getting rid of even the minimal reform of a public option, progressives need to stop worrying about Republican anger and (yes) get angry themselves. Some of things the Rethuglicans are angry at (health care rationing and bureaucracy) are good things to get angry at. They should just realize that rationing and bureaucracy are a major part of the PRIVATE insurance system we have today that their deluded minds think is better than "social medicine". I really still believe that singer payer is the most viable form of cheap, affordable, healthcare with the the least bureaucracy and rationing. I like the idea of cooperatives but not the phony cooperative model the Democrats are proposing. Group Health (which is being promoted as a model of a cooperative) is another expensive bureaucratic insurance company and is not a democratic transparent cooperative.
