Video by Ohio Progressive claims that tea partiers mocked a man with parkinsons disease. The left has been freaking out all over the web about this. Personally I am calling BS until I have more info. For all I know he could be some socialist doing an act to make the tea party look bad.

YOU CAN GUARANTEE IT WAS A SOCIALIST STUNT
AND BTW A REMINDER! ITS NOT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE ITS MANDATORY HEALTHCARE. IF THIS BILL PASSES AND HE REALLY DOES HAVE IT, HE WONT GET IT, HE WILL JUST PAY A FINE SINCE HE CANT AFFORD IT. WELCOME TO THE NEW AMERICA OF BARACK OBAMA.
The Left never gets as animated as when they think their enemies might be encroaching on behaviors they believe they have exclusive rights to.
Looked like a staged event.
My thoughts exactly.
Kenneth Gladney comes to mind Also. The left was silent when SEIU smashed him but now this guy who faked Parkinsons is getting cheers all over because of this.
“Tea Partiers Mock Parkinson’s Victim (Barf alert!) Please confirm if this is true”
I saw this on Matthews last night, my first thought was SEIU goons pulling a Protest Warrior stunt.
If true, that’s an interesting accusation from the Left who routinely mocked George W. Bush for his lack of speaking skills, accent and so on.
And Algore who mocked the right for having “an extra chromosome”
The Parkinson’s card worked so well in 2006, might as well go back to it.
Of course, under ObamaCare, the same guy would be labeled a “useless eater” and sent before a Death Panel.
Even their title says: “APPARENT - Parkinson’s victim”.
Obviously the whole thing is a set up.
I couldn’t read the sign — what else was on the sign, beside “I have Parkinson’s”? Was it something like “I have Parkinson’s and I support Obamacare”?
Obviously the guy deliberately sat close to the Tea Party protestors to challenge them. THAT is what they were reacting to, not his claimed disease?
And one of the key cost savings of Obamacare is to NOT treat people with chronic diseases.
more like what a liberal would do
Nonsense. Now we know they ARE desperate. God forgive THEM.
I do not believe it for a minute. Won’t even bother to check it. If it did happen, they were paid actors/ ACORN folks.
The original report from the Dispatch.

This is as real as the NJ Wal-Mart story.
I will never forget when George Clooney (liberal)
mocked Charleton Heston (conservative)
for being afflicted with Alzheimers Disease.
Of course, the left NEVER criticized him for THAT.
But Charleton had a wonderful rejoinder.
(He said, “CLASS often skips a generation!” LOL.
Searching around, it seems this guy might be telling the truth, and those might be real tea partiers.
If this video is for real, they’re behaving badly, unlike the vast majority of tea partiers, but not as badly as I’ve witnessed leftist protesters behaving. Still, we’re only seeing part of the video here. We don’t know what was said before or after the video. We don’t know if the guy throwing money even read the sign. He might’ve just thought the man was someone begging for money. Whatever happened, the man and the person filming were just waiting for something to catch on film.
I shop there. I don't doubt that one is real. Probably some stupid kid pulling a prank. Whenever I'm there, I've noticed groups of teens joking around in the aisles. I've even seen them skateboarding in the aisles. The place is enormous, and they can get away with a lot there.
