Bob vs. The Tea Party

.


Two very brief videos for your viewing "pleasure":

Directly below is a video of the Tea Party in action this week in Columbus, Ohio. For this week's protest they have decided to mock a man with Parkinson's disease by, among other things, throwing dollar bills at him and hollering "Communist!" and "I'll decide whether you get money!":

Background on Bob:

"Bob, the man with Parkinson's who was targeted by the Tea Partiers, sat down with ProgressOhio for an interview. He is 60 years old and was first diagnosed with Parkinsons 15 years ago. He has two masters degrees and a Ph.D. from Cornell. He taught at the University of Michigan and worked as a nuclear engineer.

Bob was able to have a $150,000 surgery that greatly increased his quality of life, thanks to Medicare and the Cleveland Clinic. He attended the event in Columbus because he believes in giving back and thinks everyone should have access to affordable health insurance and quality health care."
