Washington Time<\/a>‘s Kerry Picket reports on the vile and disgusting hyperbole that oozed from the throat of Rhode Island’s Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse yesterday;<\/p>\n

“Voting ‘no’ and hiding from the vote [on the health care bill] are the same result. Those of us on the floor see it. It was clear the three of them who did not cast their yes votes until all 60 Senate votes had been tallied and it was clear that the result was a foregone conclusion. And why? Why all this discord and discourtesy, all this unprecedented destructive action? All to break the momentum of our new young president.<\/p>\n

They are desperate to break this president. They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist. That is one powerful reason. It is not the only one.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Um, “the momentum of our new young president”? Really? What momentum? I must’ve missed it.<\/p>\n

“The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups…”…are all of these types in the Senate? I suppose it’d be easy to spot them in their 20-year-old BDUs and their crooked green berets. <\/p>\n

Aryans have support groups? Well, I suppose that’s true if it’s “unbearable” for them that Obama was born. They probably need to talk that out among themselves.<\/p>\n

I don’t want to “break” this president. I just want him to bring his politics in line with mine. I don’t care who runs the government, just so long as they run it the way I want them to run it.<\/p>\n

How shallow is an ideology that depends on fear-mongering and name-calling to convince people to vote for it?<\/p>\n

Picket interviewed Whitehouse after his speech;<\/p>\n

Mr. Whitehouse said he stood by his speech, but would not admit that he was accusing anyone who was against the health care bill as racist. He did reiterate that birthers are part of the group that is against the bill and are attacking president However, when I asked the Senator from Rhode Island what he meant by describing those who do not support the bill as “aryan,” he responded “No, I didn’t say that….again, pay attention to the speech.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Communists are part of the group that support the health care bill, so I guess that makes Whitehouse a communist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
