How much lower can those Democrats go?
Knowing that Ohio protesters against health care reform would heckle and mock him, Democrats set them up by having a man confront them by sitting down carrying a sign saying he has Parkinson's and supports health care, thus making a martyr out of him. This nefarious liberal plan was captured on video by the Columbus Dispatch.
I didn't make this up; some comments suggest he was set up as a martyr, albeit without the sarcasm. Also, shades of Rush Limbaugh calling Michael J Fox a liar, some comments also dispute his claim to having Parkinson's.
Comments accompanying a video of an interview of the man with the Parkinson's sign, Robert Letcher, posted by ProgressOhio say he was a nuclear engineer and professor at U. Michigan who has two masters and a PhD from Cornell and who went on disability 5 years ago. Rather than asking for health care reform to benefit himself as the hecklers assumed, Bob , felt lucky to have had the insurance coverage that paid for his $150K surgery and treatments; he wants insurance coverage extended to others.
At least one of the of the anti health-reform rally hecklers has been identified and says he's sorry for what he did, and scared about some of the comments.
[This is something I wrote ages ago and meant to got back to but never did. I'm going ahead and posting it in its "as is" form.]
