These people are beyond help, really. This guy seemed to be very lonely at this particular meeting, which I think is a good thing.

Watching him, I'm reminded of Harriet Tubman's words:

"I freed thousands of slaves. I could have freed thousands more, if they had known they were slaves."

2. Reminds me of the at work FReep.
Kind of a sad person really. No kids, decent but dead end job due to personal skills and hygene, unable to form opinions for him self...really has nobody to love and inherit the keys to the proverbial kingdonm and somehow he is ultimately concerned with the future of this nation.

10. Then you realize it's all about his precious money and his hate for the IRS...
And it's not so sad anymore.

5. No kidding.
Somewhere inside me I feel sorry for him, because I'm pretty sure his existence is very lonely and pitiful. On the other hand, these people should be shamed and marginalized. They are a test for me every single day.

7. LOL. Margaret and Helen's blog have a great piece on the unkempt screamers at town halls.
Margaret is it just me or did combing your hair become optional when going out in public? I’ve been watching news clips of these town hall free-for-alls and we have definitely become a nation of tired, poor, and huddled masses clearly tempest-tossed, but without access to a good beauty salon. Universal Hygiene – now that is something I could get behind. And all of them are asking for their America back. I wonder which America that would be?

Would that be the America where the Supreme Court picks your president instead of counting all the votes? Would that be the America where rights to privacy are ignored? Would that be the America where the Vice President shoots his best friend in the face? Or would that be the America where an idiot from Alaska and a college drop-out with a radio show could become the torchbearers for the now illiterate Republican party?

I fear that would not be the America they want back. I fear that the America they want back is the one where black men don’t become President.

I remember that America. In that America people screaming at public gatherings were called out for what they were – an angry mob. Of course, they wore sheets to cover up their bad hair. Let’s be clear about something: if you show up to a town hall meeting with a gun strapped to your leg, the point you are trying to make isn’t a good one. Fear never produced anything worthwhile.

11. It looks like he has a facial nerve paralysis.
That would contribute to his unusual appearance and partially explain his marginalization. The tongue play looks to me like displacement activity. No doubt he was nervous and when he realized he was alone, it was made worse.

12. Looks like another low-income earner going against his own best interests.
Just like the rest of the Rethug voters.

13. Yeah, they really don't get it.
I can't imagine the fear these people must deal with in every aspect of their pathetic lives.

15. I believe a car fell on his head once.
He represent the part of democracy that has backfired. Very little in the way of mental ability, reasoning, logic, insanely impressionable to the wrong message, and a voter.
