Protester to congressman: You want my money for ObamaCare? Come and take it
posted at 7:58 pm on September 5, 2009 by Allahpundit
I don’t think she means this in the molon labe/“pry it from my cold dead hands, sucka” sense but rather the “be man enough to act like the thief that you are” sense. Which, judging from the crowd reaction, is a pretty popular sense these days.
I wonder which Fox show will be the first to book her. Smart money’s on Cavuto!

Awesome! She nailed ‘em with that one…
Punditpawn on September 5, 2009 at 8:04 PM
Who’s she talking to? The better townhall videos I’ve seen (Lloyd Dogette, the Marine from Washington – “Well, THANK you..” , McCaskill videos, the audience laughing at “deficit neutral” Carnahan) – are audience INTERACTION with their representative, not performance art.

Variation on the classic “knock the chip from my shoulder/line in the sand” bit.
Very manly. ‘Tis a shame there is a decided lack of manliness in the GOP men, though.

so, are well all going to bring $20 bills to our townhall meetings and ask our reps to take them? Sounds fun!

Did he say “I can’t accept a contribution like that”? I don’t think he understands the difference between a contribution and forced tribute.

That’s because the Zionist MTV shows bearded pichforking on their electric sin-box. Aluminum foil may stop the CIA from infiltrating your thought waves, but it won’t protect your eyes.
TMK on September 5, 2009 at 8:18 PM
we had a protestor who said much the same thing about the IRS being the enforcement arm of the obamacare bill.
he said “are you going to tax me extra because i insure my self (i.e. no insurance plan–going naked)?” he said the IRS would have to come to his door to get the money.
kelley in virginia on September 5, 2009 at 8:18 PM
Yikes!

Don’t even get me started on that Zionist MTV thangy! I even saw some darker complected Jooos on there… Not that I watch of course…

That’s not your hero, it’s a man, baby! Yeah!

It’s attitudes like that that won’t give Melissa the votes he/she needs to win! You should be ashamed of your barbarity.

She’s not a man! She can’t help that she was born with an outy.

Well, I don’t know about my backstabbing Rep (Massa), but I can see Pelosi trying to crowd surf to get that twenty!

“I don’t think she means this in the molon labe/’pry ‘t from my cold dead hands, sucka’ sense but rather the “be man enough to act like the thief that you are’ sense.”
This Texas historian just shakes his head. The “Come and take it” banner was an important part of the Texas fight for independence. The Mexican army demanded their cannon be returned, but the Texians…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gonzales
As Moore returned, the Texians raised a homemade white banner, with an image of the cannon painted in black in the center and the words “Come & Take It”. They then fired their cannon at the Mexican camp. Realizing that he was outnumbered and outgunned, Castañeda led his troops back to Bexar. The troops were gone before the Texians could reload and fire the cannon a second time. In his report to Ugartechea, Castañeda wrote “since the orders from your Lordship were for me to withdraw without compromising the honor of Mexican arms, I did so”.[
barrypopik on September 5, 2009 at 8:28 PM
Awesome. Without our consent and participation they can do nothing. The leftist parasites can only succeed when the productive in this country meekly cave to their demands.
Oppose them on everything. Scorched earth. Lets make the country ungovernable for Obama and his Marxists in Congress. Make them use force to impose their agenda on us! They won’t dare because then the reckoning will begin in earnest.
elduende on September 5, 2009 at 8:29 PM
Most of these great Americans have to be Ron Paul supporters. I can’t imagine the Bush/McCain crowd cares too much about the spending/deficits.
It is encouraging to see the anger. I figured that Obama would ram through his agenda with little opposition, when he was elected. Great to see.
The Dean on September 5, 2009 at 8:30 PM
I’m in Olean,Let’s look the positive side at least Massa’s willing to alleviate us of the responsibility’s of making decisions for ourselve’s.
heshtesh on September 5, 2009 at 8:32 PM
She chose her method and did a good job. The crowd liked it so it seems what you think does not matter to them of me for that matter.
CWforFreedom on September 5, 2009 at 8:32 PM
the dean: hey, bush/mccain supporters are fiscal conservatives. at least this one is.
kelley in virginia on September 5, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Yeah, because that would definitely be ridiculous. Who do these Fox people think they are letting know us know what’s going on when the other networks don’t. Sheesh.

many Bush supporters were unhappy with his choice not to cut spending. you seem to be selective in your memory. I have seen your posts before so I am not surprised.

CWforFreedom on September 5, 2009 at 8:35 PM
Geez this one’s gonna burn some nerves! These public demonstrations are driving these issues home, driving public discourse about these issues, and must NOT stop, and shouldn’t even take a break – God knows the radicals aren’t taking any breaks.
The women – WOMEN – showing up and delivering public beat-downs like this, (especially in the age of Youtube!) is incredibly heartening for me. This one from yesterday and a bunch of others I’ve seen, where the women are just shredding these clowns is reaching a lot of people. When the mama’s not happy, nobody’s happy.

The arrogance of Congress is breathtaking.
Message to Congress:
The reason that people are showing up to oppose your takeover of OUR healthcare is because WE DON’T WANT IT!!!
YOU (Congress) try it out on YOURSELVES for five years and then you let us know how it works FOR YOU!!!

As I have said before we should have groups of real every day people collect taxes at gunpoint from their neighbors and family members. That would be a whole lot more honest.

Liberals try to make the moral case for government welfare by claiming that majority rule makes something moral. Why would it have been wrong for the politician to take her money by force but moral for him to vote to make the IRS threaten to throw her in jail if she didn’t give it up? As Alexis de Tocqueville wrote, “I have always thought that servitude of the regular, quiet, and gentle kind which I have just described might be combined more easily than is commonly believed with some of the outward forms of freedom, and that it might even establish itself under the wing of the sovereignty of the people.”
His point is that claiming that some law is the result of “the sovereignty of the people” does not make it moral. This country was not founded on the principle that legislative acts are moral by their nature, but rather that “government derives its just powers by the consent of the governed.” The only way that people can consent to being governed is if they have a choice. A truly liberty-inspired individual wants all people to have a choice as to what kind of government they prefer.
JohnJ on September 5, 2009 at 9:05 PM
Wouldn’t it be neat that the law of “unintended consequences” for Obama and Democrats trying to force their Marxist/Socialist and Fascist agenda upon us….
… is that the American people finally wake up to the graft, waste, and abuse of the Constitution these scumbag career politicians and the elite political bureaucrats are doing, and these Town Hall Meetings and Tea Parties become a never ending cause.

Never underestimate the heart and creativity of a real American.
Just looking at her, you know she doesn’t just show up to hear her own voice or get a 15 minutes of fame on some YouTube video.
She’s a real girl dealing with real things, something the community organizers cannot fathom.
In the morning she’ll kiss her husband and feed her kids, and pray God they all will be okay.
She’s America, like me and you, just wanting some sanity, some common sense, returned to a world twirled out of control.

Those of us who go about our daily lives, trying to raise our family with love and a sense of hope for the future, treating our neighbors with respect, being active members in our communities believing that our elected Representatives in our Representative Republic seek higher office to do “good” have realized this is not the case…
… Not only do they want to screw us, but there will be no vaseline, nor a reach around!
No, I think more and more Americans are going to be looking over the shoulders of our politicians for some time to come…

Obama is weak minded and does not know how to lead. He has a superior majority in the house and 59 Democrats in the Senate (for now), and he does not have the courage of his convictions. He will attempt to use the trigger option to sneak the public option in. A majority of Americans will see this as another weasly move, and the rucus will continue
