To the LaRouchie asshats set up outside of the Ballard Post Office (as well as anyone else who puts an Obama/Hitler poster in my face): I'm not sure which shows greater ignorance and delusion, your comparison of a mandate for universal health care to the slaughter of millions or the fact that you knowingly make this outrageous and incendiary comparison because you think it will bring a bigger following to your cause. I won't speak for the rest of the Tribe, but as a Jew who lost more than half my family line to the Nazis, I cannot begin to describe the outrage I feel when I walk past you. My 200-pound frame tenses, fists clenched in my jacket pockets, aching to beat you senseless. Two-decades-plus of martial-arts practice points out targets for quick, painful takedowns. When you try to make small talk, it's all I can do to keep staring forward, since I'm sure the smallest investment of attention in your direction would likely end up with me in jail. Please go suck a supersize bag of donkey dicks. Thank you.

First off, years or even decades of martial arts really doesn't mean shit in a real fight. How accustomed are you to getting punched in the nose or the gut or the bollocks? Are you aware that most real fighting is ugly and typically ends on the ground with one person getting punched in the face repeatedly? Additionally, this appeal seems like something I would have heard from some pimply, insecure shit in the schoolyard: "You bettah shut your mouth I'mma karate your ass."
Now, as to your concern about going to prison: I'm not sure you would, and if you did you wouldn't for long. Temporary insanity with the rage resulting from the reducing the real pain of your kin to trying to provide everyone in the country with affordable healthcare? Also, assault and battery would likely just get you a slap on the wrist for a first-time offense.
So, what I'm saying is that you shoulda punched that guy right in the face, pussy--acting all tough while being afraid of wimpy consequences. It's unsurprising though, for I've never met a tough Jew--hahahaha.
and generally, as a matter of law, larouchies can't be victims. like a reverse insanity defense. so fire away!

@ #7 - As for healthcare I'm afraid that big insurance and drug companies are far too powerful here in the US. It is essentially a dead issue at this point, and I fear it may always be. Far too many of the disappearing middle-class here swallow the propaganda that people in countries with public health systems are miserable, over-taxed and not properly cared for. They ignore the reality that, eventually, most of us may need public health, but it won't be there.
Best I-Anon ever. Finally one I didn't roll my eyes at.
As far as THAT goes...I'VE never met a bigot with fully developed genitals.
(in other words...back at ya, Adolf!)
Can I have your number incase I get into a real, ugly, punch you in the bollocks, street fight?

@4: I don't know about martial arts, but I know about an insanity defense. They're flimsy and fail to work in the majority of cases, especially where there is no documented history of mental illness. He could easily do jailtime. Also, do you know what happens when someone *is* found not guilty by reason of insanity or guilty but mentally ill? They're often involuntarily committed for some amount of time. So yeah, awesome option there.
But please, keep running your mouth and inciting violence; it's so becoming.
Pure literary genius.
Study this one, Mudede. Over and over and over.

It's this whole "take care of your own damn self" attitude, combined with "I earned this money" and also, many Americans really do not take very good care of themselves: for what logical reason do we have to pay for the chain-smoking, cheetoh loving type two diabetic's care, which he invited upon himself? It's very culturally ingrained. If we had all grown up with your system, we'd probably think *not* having it was boloney.
It goes back to the way England treated us, I think, before we broke off: taxes for everything, freedom for very few. It's also why we are so inherently distrustful of the government... very few people they're using our money for the right stuff. We're still figuring it out. I understand both arguments (healthcare for us all means that our society is healthy, and that's good!). If a substantial portion of my paycheck just started disappearing, and I haven't been to a doc in years, I think that would irk me, too.

The second and more critical problem is that American's don't want to pay for it. Notice how we don't pay for anything but bitch about how nothing works right.
The third problem is that it is always someone else's problem. No one wants to take responsibility for their actions.
That is why Universal Healthcare will fail in America. American's are assholes and damn proud of it!
USA!
USA!
USA!

Or maybe you mean that if it was free, people would go to the doctor at the first sign of a problem, which is cheaper than waiting until you're almost dead to head to the hospital. I still don't think that's how it would be, at least not for many generations. Out of fear and habit and being busy, I don't think people would get into the doc as soon as they should unless it was truly pressing--this is about the same as it is now.
I'm on board with prevention, but no amount of taxing will help that happen.
You're probably doing that bullshit where you count your taxes against your taxable income as opposed to your real income, for which taxes could be infinite %, if you arrange your life correctly. In any case, you're doing it all wrong.

You just have to tell yourself, I suppose, that things like LaRouche is just the anus of democracy...maybe not even because we all need an anus, right?
I applaud your anger, Anonymous, and I applaud your restraint even more.
Neither can we....
@24: Good insight
@28: Hire an accountant. NOW!
when my son can say merry christmas in school i may not feel the urge to throttle him into oblivion..!!

And also, not everyone who isn't that into universal healthcare is a right-wing Republican.
Putting in recycling baskets and watching the Pride parade from the corporate boardroom doesn't make up for defending the medical-industrial complex.
@39- Actually the idea of universal healthcare is popular and has been for a while. It's the idea of a mandate that is not popular. The problem is that the mandate is what will lower costs, and there isn't any cost cutting measure that will ever be popular. You have to have one to make it work, though.
@29- I have been without insurance in the past and have known other people without coverage. I can guarantee you that not having coverage makes you very reluctant to get any preventative care, or even regular care. Sometimes you put up with the pain and hope it goes away, but then you get unlucky and end up in the ER. After getting on health insurance I was much more likely to get something checked out right away. And because I was going to the doctor's office more often, I was able to get advice about losing weight that actually worked for me.
There is one more thing that gets in people's way: not being able to take time off. Low-wage hourly workers can't take a sick day without sacrificing pay that they can't afford to give up. Fortunately, I'm not in that position but it would be a good idea if people could get a limited number of paid sick days to make sure people are getting preventative care and not passing on contagious ailments to coworkers or customers.
Engage them in conversation and just fart really loudly, and constantly. Not only does it make them really uncomfortable, it scares away other people from talking to them.
Or get a stack of Real Change from somewhere and set up shop next to them acting hyper crazy.
Or, act like you are one of them and say some really outlandish shit to really fark up their actions.

Has anyone ever said "drama queen" to you?
Before I bore you, there is NO known cure for a drama queen.
blessings
You are all down on your color? All I got to say, there is no cure for a drama queen... now come on, missy, what's really bothering you?
Crissakes, is there any limit to the amount of ignorance among the typical Stranger commenter? Evidently not....
For the final time, those LaRouchies are simply a matching-campaign-funds scam, and every four years they receive roughtly $30 million in matching funds because you checked off that public funding box on your IRS forms, morons!!!!!!
(It's no wonder those faux conservation outfits are sooooo easily co-opted --- League of Conservation Voters and the Sierra Club, etc.)
First that idiot comment of @26, No-Load:
"The taxpayers are going to pay for the healthcare of poor people one way or another..."
Numerous studies have shown the opposite, douchebagger, but I wouldn't expect you to actually have read anything on the subject.
Large numbers of the poor, with the statistically greater percentages among Black Americans, minorities and women, aren't able to access routine medical care today in America and thereby suffer early, and unnecessary death.
@7, ferfer, most of the posters here confuse the health insurance "reform" legislation from the present neocon administration with universal healthcare, which it isn't --- both the r-cons and faux crats contrived to avoid any and all universal healthcare in America, with the dems using a form VP from WellPoint to both write the legislation and work for them at HHS to sign corporate waivers for the health insurers, etc.
Is this really Ben Stein, that candy butt draft-dodging clown??
Or is this Alan Greenspan, that candy butt draft-dodging clown??
Or maybe Bill Krystol, that candy butt draft-dodging clown??
Or perhaps Robert Rubin, that candy butt draft-dodging clown??
Could it actually be Paul Wolfowitz, that candy butt draft-dodging clown??
I know it couldn't be Steven Seagal, because some years back when I was in LA, I faxed him my driver's license to show him I was half his size, and challenged him to meet me anytime and anywhere of his choosing, so I could stomp his ass!!!!!
Could this be one of those candy butt draft-dodging Jewish Nazis from the former Project For A New American Century (PNAC)?
Or one of those anti-worker, anti-American Jewish Nazi doods from their successor gangsta outfit, Foundation in Defense of Democracies????
Geez, AnonyCoward, I guess there just aren't that many of us out here who are sympathetic with so many Nazi Jewish anti-worker, anti-American types around today.
But, AnonyCoward, should you really and truly be looking for a rumble, I know a bunch of old-timers from the USS Liberty, and their aggressive children, who would sure love to meet you for a face-to-face, sonny honey.

so what are you saying?
Obamacare just spreads the love to more hospitals and insurance companies.
Me? I got my waiver, did you get yours?

Some of you people have unmanaged mental illnesses, is all I'm saying.

1) Obama ranks with George W. Bush, Bill Gates and Adolf Hitler as one of the biggest global assholes in world history.
2) Obama's "mandate for universal health care" is bullshit, just like everything else Obama has done.
3) Even if Obama's health scare initiative was genuine, it would still be STUPID to suggest that anyone is comparing Obama to Hitler because of it. The comparison relates to Obama's multiple wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya and maybe Iran), unmanned drones, obsession with assassinating U.S. citizens and on and on.
I find it amazing that The Stranger likes to characterize me as unhinged or plagued by an anger management problem every time I run for office, yet you turn around and publish this obscene bullshit, which is riddled with veiled threats (along with some that aren't so veiled).
Of course, this piece was written anonymously - or was it? And what about most of the people posting responses...are they working for The Stranger, or the Seattle Chamber of Commerce?
As one assclown wrote, "Original poster, the killing of any LaRouchie is an act of public service. I will find a way to get on the jury and vote to acquit!"
In that spirit, any freedom fighter who blows up the offices of The Stranger is performing a public service. Fuck you right-wing shitheads.

As to everything else, comparing the current leader to Hitler is what every opposition group does these days. Remember McChimpyBushHitler ( http://hodja.files.wordpress.com/2009/02… )? Imagine the (justified) outrage if that was used on Obama?
Not taking a side here. In fact, I'm calling all who make these sorts of insults self-defeating idiots.
Apparently, their organization's central office hasn't been warning their volunteers about a small string of sexual assaults that have taken place in the PNW over the past few weeks.
I spoke with two women demonstrating in South Center yesterday who hadn't heard anything about it. I guess it's been covered very sparsely in the news -- I can't remember where I read about it.
This predator seems to be exclusively targeting younger women who man these anti-obama hitler mustache sign kiosks.
If you see Larouche volunteers holding these signs, please warn them about the rapist at large. Encourage them to use the buddy system when leaving their demonstration sites, especially at night.
Whether you like what they're doing or not, no woman deserves to be the victim of a sexual assault.
Next: a "temporary insanity" plea is next to impossible to get. For one thing, you need to be insane enough to be UNAWARE that you'd be facing criminal charges, which the original Anon is not. If you knew anything about the Law, you'd know this.
Finally: YOO SHUDDUP OHR SOMTHIN' GONNA KICK YO ASS, FOO'!
