Default US Marine puts US Congressman in his place.

This is great. A USMC vet has his way with Democrat Congressman Brian Baird. Very heartwarming to see real Americans standing up to these big government liberal types.

He made some good points but I'm a tad disappointed that the Congressman's response wasn't included.

No thats a normal division throughout this farcical healthcare debate.
If someone agrees with what is being said then the person saying it is a real American , if they oppose what is being said then the person saying it is un-American.
It's a wonderful division and it works for both sides , the fact that it is nonsense doesn't make it that strange really.
Entertaining would be a much better word than strange.

What's funny is that for the last 8 years, those of us who protested the wars were labelled loons and un-American. Now all of a sudden protesting makes you a "real American".

Yeah, the guy's argument was so devastating, we were reduced to "Well....Uh....yeah...but BUSH = HITLER!1!!1"

It's ironic that you would write that, because half of what this guy did was basically say "OBAMA = HITLER!!1!1", which is just as moronic as the former slogan.

Just tell them what they told us for those eight years.

"This is America! Love it or leave it!"

As matter of fact I have yet to hear a conservative threaten to leave this country if the current president is reelected.

I'm sure all of the "I Support Our President No Matter What!" bumper stickers have become very slow sellers on the right wing websites now. :rotfl:

Remember the "don't tase me bro!" guy? Here's what O'Reilly had to say about him:

Quote:
On September 18, 2007: "It's not pleasant, but that idiot, he wanted this to happen. He wanted the cops to do it. He wanted to disrupt the forum. And to me, I think he should be prosecuted...Well, what about disrupting the peace? You know, this is what -- look, the guy goes in there. He's totally inappropriate in every way, Jeanine [Pirro]. There isn't one appropriate thing the man did. He wants to disrupt the forum. Security has an obligation not to allow the forum to be disrupted."
Funny how he's not saying that anymore about the town hall screamers, eh?
