Despite their massive financial support for Republican Scott Brown's Senate campaign, Brown supporters got physical with the Billionaires for Brown - snatching some signs and more.

I'm getting worried that it's only a matter of time before they pull out a gun.

1. Never ceases to amaze me that the pukes
are always the ones to try and squash their fellow American's freedom of speech they harp on about all the time. There's Ameri-cans and Ameri-cant's.

2. The pig faced bastard who took the sign was a real piece of shit

So was the rest of that fucked up crowd. I'd have probably put my foot right in the small of that motherfuckers back.

if D's had behaved this way, would they have been beaten and arrested?

3. How strange, the sign was hardly offensive. Guess they wouldn'y like
signs of Brown as the Joker or him with a Hitler mustache or pictures of dead bodies saying "Brown health care plan"?

Can't believe the crowd cheered that nasty old man. Glad the "billionaire" is okay, I have been thinking about those Billionaires for wealthcare. I like it when they sing...and have missed seeing them.

I have not even seen people be mean to them before, let alone get physical. They mostly looked bemused or puzzled. Guess this guy wasn't puzzled.
I bet he could be charged

4. I can't believe the old puke guy figured out
they weren't really there for Brown. Unless maybe he was just confused and pissed because he really thought they were billionaires?

5. Imagine what the reaction would be...
...if the shoe were on the other foot. Anybody ever think to yank an "Obama is Hitler" sign out of a teabagger's hand? Do you think there would be violence? Even if they were crashing a liberal rally?

Maybe I'll try the experiment sometime...

7. What I think is....
it's time for democrats to show up at the Tea Party events and snatch away all the Hitler and Obama bone through the nose posters that the disgraceful teabaggers hold up.

Why has it taken so long for us dems to show up at the Tea Parties to protest against their vile BS?

We need to organize and stop their bullshit now!

18. I disagree.
Even though I disagree 100% with what the teabaggers say, as disorganized as they are, they have the right to do so. It's our 1st Amendment right to both free speech and to assemble. What the prick in this video did, and what you're suggesting, is to take away other people's right to free speech. Not to mention there's the very real threat of violence that would/could erupt when a group of teabaggers feel threatened more than they already do.

Personally, I like the way the Billionaires are going about their protests; by subverting the message. The vast majority of teabaggers are dissatisfied with government in general, but they are misguided in the fact that they think it's "lib-ruls" who are to blame. If there is such a thing as a rational teabagger, they might start to think for themselves who's really running the show when they see the Billionaires showing up to support certain candidates. Those same rational teabaggers would feel their hatred for liberals was justified if we started acting like them, ripping signs & posters out of their hands.

9. They do that... There won't be a Republican party. Pray they are that stupid
oh look it's Xerxes.

I can't imagine though the Neo Nazi's like Teabaggers claiming anyone not supporting Brown is a Nazi. That'd be the Neo Nazi's support Obama, which they don't like black guys. But hey most Tea bags have no brains.. Usually just leaves. :P

12. They've been getting away with assault
for a while. It's time to file criminal and civil complaints. The video is evidence.
Once in prison they can join the Aryan Brotherhood.

17. Fox News is saying Brown winning
by a mile. Glenn Beck's poll predicts landslide for Teabaggers. Acorn spotted at local polling stations with Black Panthers and La Raza in tow. The world as we know it is ending!! Teabaggers get your gold your seeds your internet food and lock the door to your safe room.
j/k

What a bunch of paranoid freaks!

19. Proud to be criminal fascists. Just like their owners.
This same thing happened at a demonstration I was at in Sacramento. One of the lunatic teabaggers broke through the police line and grabbed one of our signs. They then lined up and pretended to urinate and defecate on the sign.

60 year old women, squatting over a sign, while the rest of the lunatics cheered.

The right wing is the American Curse.
