Protesters denounce health care law, Benghazi at site of Obama’s Dallas appearance

Source: Dallas Morning News

Michael Chew, 39, said he was with a group called Activists for Truth and Liberty and came to the president’s appearance because he was tired of lies from Washington. He held a sign referring to Benghazi.

Chew, who said he has been unemployed for two years, said the Affordable Care Act won’t benefit anyone and those making minimum wage won’t be able to afford it.

“They need to throw Obamacare off the table and just do away with it,” he said. “It’s like the middle class has been kicked out and the working poor has been established. It’s like the rich and the poor and the working poor.”

Another protester, 78-year-old Frances Minkowitz, didn’t mince words on her sign with a call to impeach Obama that also alluded to Benghazi.

and always go against their own interest. Of course the corporate media will show this 24/7 just like in 2010 with a few TPs then. Did the paper have Wendy Davis' speech?

Always reading crazy right wing letters to the editor. Key word is always Benghazi. They spend too much time watch Fox News.

It's part of the rememberance of 50 years ago when JFK was killed in Dallas. While thumbing through the paper, I came across a story, one of many local Dallas stories about someone's reaction to JFK being killed in their city. One man said, "Why does Dallas always attract the crazies?" Nothing's changed in Big D in 50 years.

drag him along to real Truth and Liberty. But with perception and reasoning skills like he's exhibiting, he wouldn't even know them if they were handed to him on a platter.

They sure love the grandiose names for their organizations. But the facade is thin, very thin. They have nothing to bring to the table except the urge to destroy the efforts of others. They are worse than useless, they are a poison to our society.

Dear Tea Party Members.... ehh-hmmm; let me start over....

Hey asshole tea partiers - you don't like Obamacare? Despite the obvious that you don't know anything about it, how about coming up with an alternative that you believe will work better. Nobody on the left is proclaiming it's perfect but it's better than what your conservative policies have brought us since your lord Ronnie started fucking everything up here. Death panels? They exist for real in insurance companies, not the government. Unafforable premiums? Fuck you and your useless memory - premiums have been so out of reach for millions of people for years because of conservative economic policies and the ACA is now making them more affordable again and for some reason *now* you're pissed off. Minimum wage not enough? Again fuck you... it's you conservatives that have stagnated the minimum wage making it what it is today. You're idiots.
