Tea Baggers Mock a Guy with Parkinson?s Disease **VIDEO**

Tea Baggers are just getting exposed everyday. The Republicans, independents, conservatives and so called independents have a serious problem. They are poisoning everything, muddy up the water and astonishingly moronic.

======================
The passion against health care reform has elevated to such a level that protesters on Tuesday mocked an apparent Parkinson's Disease victim, scorning him as a "communist" who is looking for "handouts."

Protesters on both ends of the health care debate squared off in competing rallies outside the Columbus, Ohio office of district Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (D-OH), who says she's undecided on her vote for the bill.

A wrinkled, kneeling man holding a stick crawled up to a group opposing the effort with a sign saying he's "got Parkinson's" and needs help.

"If you're looking for a handout you're in the wrong end of town," one man yelled at him. "Nothing for free over here, you have to work for everything you get."

Parkinson's is an incurable and degenerative brain disorder that impairs the victim's speech, motor skills and various other functions.

Another man walked up him and threw a dollar bill at him and said derisively, "I'll pay for this guy, start a pot." Tossing another bill at the sedentary man, he screamed, "No more handouts!"

"You love a communist!" shouted another protester in response.

The Columbus Dispatch offered a rundown of the dueling rallies:

Kilroy, who was in Washington yesterday, says she will not decide how she will vote until she has a chance to review the final package. The congresswoman's offices in Washington and Columbus logged more than 1,500 calls on the issue Monday.

Police on foot and bicycles kept a close eye on the crowd that stretched along Olentangy River Road. Several loud exchanges occurred as some protesters got in each other's faces, but no physical clashes were reported.

The scenes were remnant of the heated town-hall protests across the nation last summer when supporters and opponents of health reform clashed.

==================================================

These are visceral people who vote. There is barely any rational, well thought debate to usher any type of resolution. Although, I don't agree to this hand out to the big insurance company, it is a step in the right direction to single payer health care. The day will come when America will have universal health care for all. The visceral voter will at the end support universal health care just like the conservatives in every other developed country.
