Shame on me.
I'm sickened by what the Teabaggers have been doing to the health care reform town hall meetings around the country. Their strategy of disrupting civil debate is immature and anti-democratic. "Stand up and shout then sit right back down" is not a debate tactic, it's what my 3 year old niece does when she doesn't want to finish her carrots. "Rock-the-boat" and "Look for opportunities to yell" are strategies for preventing a free-throw from being made, not a way to engage in public discourse. In order to halt and eventually kill health care reform, Teabaggers have been instructed to act like children. Children who show no respect for anybody.

I was thinking about this and decided that maybe I need to address the Teabaggers how the Teabaggers have decided to address others. Maybe I need to show them the same level of respect they're showing. Maybe I need to speak their language. Stooping to their level might be the only way to get through to them.

*Sigh*. Alright then. I'm not proud of what I'm about to do, but if the Teabaggers are going to act like children, perhaps they need to be scolded like children...

Teabaggers! Get over here.

Now shut your mouths and listen. Put down your swastika signs. Stop talking about this weekend's NASCAR race and pay attention. I'm about to learn you real good.

You all sicken me. Each and every one of you. You know what sickens me the most? Not one of you has shown any signs that you've taken the time to build an intellectual foundation on which to build your case against health care reform. Oh crap, I'm sorry. I got all "elitist" on you for a second there. You have no idea what that sentence means. Allow me to rephrase... None of you have any idea what the hell you're talking about.

How do I know that? Christ, all I had to do was listen to a sampling of the stupid shit that's falling out of your mouths in order to figure out you don't have the slightest idea what the Obama administration wants to accomplish with health care reform. "Just say no"? Comparing health care to the cars for clunkers program? Chanting "socialism"? You're all clueless. It's plainly obvious you took no time to actually attempt to understand the legislation. What do I mean? Shut up for ten seconds and I'll explain it in terms you can relate to. Here, this might be easier for you to understand...

Pretend your cousin Annabelle just finished watching an episode of "Hee Haw". Well Annabelle thought that Hee Haw was the best TV show she's seen in a long while. She came right on over to tell you exactly that, but before she got very far you interrupt, "Yap yap yap woman. I don't care how long we've been married, I don't want to hear nothin' 'bout no Hee Haw!".

Annabelle is confused. She knows you've never seen an episode of Hee Haw so she's can't understand how you've already formed such strong opinion.

What she doesn't know is that you've been told over and over by your next door neighbor that Hee Haw is a terrible show. Your neighbor has been drilling this into your head for years - to the point where you just can't see any other possibility. However, what you didn't realize all those years you've been listening to your angry old dick of a neighbor was that he had an invested interest in a competing TV show called "The Country Western Hour". If Hee Haw failed then his show had a better chance to succeed. So he's been telling anybody stupid enough to listen that Hee Haw is garbage.

You my friend, were one of the stupid ones who listened without ever seeing one single episode of Hee Haw. Not only were you stupid enough to fall for your neighbor's bullshit - you allowed yourself to be turned into his pawn. You let yourself be manipulated into spreading his lies, perhaps at the expense of your own happiness had you had the courage to think for yourself and given Hee Haw a chance. That makes you a worse than stupid. That makes you weak.

And where do the easily manipulated weak-minded masses wind up? Holding signs and yelling like children at town hall meetings. Congratulations Teabaggers... you've become pawns. While you're drowning out the democratic process you claim to love, your corporate puppetmasters sit and marvel at their ability to pull off the greatest con of all time - convincing you to serve them without question.

So go on, act like imbeciles who've never learned how to conduct themselves in public. Act like the child they want you to act like it. Throw your town hall tantrums. All you're doing is making yourself look like toddlers whose toy was taken away and discrediting your cause while you're at it. Well done.

The world is laughing at you. Perhaps the most laughable aspect of if all is that you're trying to be intimidating. Guess what? Not everybody is intimidated.

Some of us will still give you the spanking you deserve.

Postscript...
