VIDEO: ‘Socialized Medicine’! ‘Dead Baby Juice’! GOP Moderate vs. Rabid Right-Wing Conspiracies

By GottaLaff



Whoa.

Moderate Republican Mike Castle (R-DE), who holds Delaware's only Congressional seat, hit a wall of right-wing rage during a town hall meeting in Georgetown, DE. The June 30 meeting, part of his health care "listening tour" across the state, came just days after Rep. Castle was one of just eight Republicans to vote in favor of the American Clean Energy and Security Act. The event rapidly devolved into a moblike atmosphere as conservative activists challenged Castle with the full spectrum of right-wing conspiracy theories.

Topics included:

• ‘Socialized Medicine’ Will Destroy The Nation ‘Faster Than The Twin Towers.’

• The Cap And Trade ‘Tax’ Will Kill The American Economy.

• Global Warming Is A Hoax.

• Global Warming, Like Darwinian Evolution, Is Just A Theory.

• The Swine Flu Epidemic Is A Conspiracy To Force AIDS-Infected Vaccines On The American Public.

• President Obama Is Not A Citizen Of The United States.

Rep. Castle and the other Republicans who supported clean energy reform have been branded “cap and traitors.” The Meetup-organized conspiracy theorists attacking them are being fed a constant stream of misinformation and incitement from Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Prison Planet, Americans for Prosperity, and the rest of the right-wing machine. Today’s conservative movement refuses to make any room for old school Republicans like Mike Castle.

The Party of No Sanity.

I'm not sure whether to scream or cry.
