While I dont agree with their approach. They are correct and what people aren't allowed to call someone out because they have Parkinsons?
Why should someone be "called out" for having Parkinson's? Is this another "personal repsonsibility" issue the RWs have? Do people cause their own Parkinson's?
Actually, Obama made acomment which was meant to be lighthearted about his bowling ability and which was sincerely not meant to harm anyone.
In this video, these teabaggers were up in the face of a disabled man, jeering down at him, throwing money at him and calling him names.
As a group, they were intentionally trying to humiliate the man and put him down.
To a teabagger, these two instances are probably similar but not to a rational person.
Funny you mention that, because I'm not a tea bagger. But, I am a rational man. Obama's comment was light hearted, and wasn't intended to offend anyone, but to equate his sub par bowling skills to that of Special Olympians is offensive, so don't pretend it's not. I agree, what the tea baggers did was unacceptable, but to act like the "other" side are the only ones acting out of line is ignorant. Once again the line in the sand is drawn, and those on the other side are stupid... Right? Come on, we're all better than that.
And to answer a previous poster, yes, my mother did say two wrongs don't make a right. She also said "those that live in a glass house shouldn't throw stones." Or something like that... I'll admit, I didn't listen much during my teenage years.
Reminds me of Nazi's beating up old people. Shameful and cruel. These tea baggers are cowards and obviously don't believe in civil discourse. They are disgusting.

I thinkthey're trying to say that the man deserved to be "called out" and that he shouldn't expect a handout and needs to work for everything that he gets... like the teabaggers said in the video.
So what you dont think someone can question call out or not agree with someone simply because they have Parkinsons?
You need to tell Freddie Roach the trainer to stop talking junk about other people then because he has Parkinsons and it appears you dont want someone calling him out.
The hell you do. A jok is something totally different than physically attacking someone. You know this and you're a bigot.
While I dont agree with throwing dollars at him I dont consider that " physically attacking" someone. To physically attack someone you need to put your hands on them and no one that I seen put their hands on him
So what if someone throws a piece of paper at you that should be considered assault?

Do you believe in it? Just not to the point of the childish insults like tea baggers when it comes to someone you dont agree with huh
Forget political correctness, you don't even have a heart!

Jadex,
You seem to be lost in to be in your own little mean world.
I have nothing to say to you.
