      Jim is not really advocating violence, it's just a Republican Stimulus Plan in the works. Get our citizens to start an uprising causing bloodshed which means more people going to prison, which means more jobs building more prisons, training more guardes, attorney fees, etc., etc. Typical Republican Stimulus Plan!!!

      Rush Limbaugh said the EXACT same thing about 2 weeks ago (before the 'heart attack'). He cleverly said : I DONT BLAME YOU PEOPLEfor how angry you will be. I dont BLAME YOU PEOPLE that you will be rioting in the streets. They (congress) doesn't know how angry YOU PEOPLEare...etc.
      Meanwhile, those people will get arrested, Rush and Quinn will rake in the dough and incite more riots. And then go on another rant against Saul Alinsky.

      Question for the genius: how and where and in what manner will people rise up, and exactly what is it they are rising up against? Taxes? If the plan passes with a tax on the rich, then is he saying the rich will start a civil war over paying 5% more in taxes? Or if the middle class gets hit for a tax on plans valued over some threshold ($12,000 is a number I have heard), will they rise up against their employers for not negotiating for cheaper plans?

      See, this is why the GOP is in trouble. Even their loud mouths can't get their act together. NO GOVERNMENT HAS EVER BEEN OVERTHROWN FOR TAXATION POLICY. Dumping tea chests into a harbor didn't overthrow the British, it annoyed them. And last I checked, people here DO have representative government. The revolt might happen, but it will happen at the voting booth and not as per Quinn's ghoulish fantasy of bloody revolution.

      . . . But, when it's over -- after about an hour -- rest assured Rush Limpballs will have Boehner and McConnell back in the GOP fold . . .

      Hey Quinnie old boy, advocating a civil war here? I suppose you'll be leading the fight from in back of your microphone, since that's where most chicken hawks do thier thing.

        RWMAC, This is the same nonsense this SexualHarasser always advocates. Let someone else do the dirty work. This coward is even afraid to debate anyone in an open forum. His show takes about three calls a day.
        Quinnie, I call you out and challenge you to open your phones for a Liberating Liberal Hour..only liberals get to call. And you can have the phony Christian Radio Rose next to you.
        Really, Quinnie, will you and Rosie lead the uprising or will the dimwit listeners of you two have to do the dirty work?

        Maybe we can recruit Failry to lead the charge...

        It has just been announced that volunteers are needed to fight the tax increases that will be implimented to their normal rates for the wealthy.
        All those willing to help the "suppliers" of jobs, please send in your name, your pledge of obedience and $100 or your life savings to SAVE THE WEALTHY c/o Quinn and Rose. This pledge will get you a tee-shirt and a teabag to hurl at the National Guard when you try to overtake the Congress. Your deaths and arrests will not be forgotten. But remember, send those checks or deliver cash to a SAVE THE WEALTHY office near you. You must finance this effort because the WEALTHY are down to their last $20 million.
        This is truly a grass roots effort and when you send us all your cash, you can dine on grass roots if you cannot buy food. Remember the CAUSE.

        Thank You again and go get them....We will inform you who them is at a later date.

      The plan is a farce. I almost agree with some republicans at this point (first time for everything.) This plan will create more ill-will than it will help over the next few years. Forcing people to buy insurance from the companies which 99 percent of american despises with no other options is just asking for it. Ideologically, I agree in that i think everyone should be required to have healthcare insurance and everyone putting money into the pot may decrease costs for all. But politically it seems more like a nightmare - there could be a huge backlash because frankly, americans hate insurance companies almost universally. We need a public option or this whole thing is a huge mistake. It undermines all the good healthcare reform can do. Essentially, insurance companies NEED competition as they are an oligopoly who determines all rates and profit. WE NEED A TRUST BUSTER and honestly, obama is letting down his voters and the american people by not standing by and strongly supporting the public option throughout this process (which was also a campaign promise i might add.) Obama also campaigned again the mandate which seems to now be the major basis of this so called "reform."

        I do agree with you on the part about forcing everyone to have insurance. All I can say is there better be an improvement to whatever is passed and a public option added. But first thing is first, we have to get rid of LIEberman.

      The stress on to remain in status quo and let the health insurance industry continue their judgement ways on people's health problems will start an uprising! These fools will never speak the truth of how all the money spent on lobbying at capitol hill by health insurance corporations is corrupting the health bill. They will never tell people to get on the phone or send e-mails to tell congressmen and women to fight health insurance companies and pass a bill that benefits all people. NEVER! It is all about fearmongering with these yokels!

If the Tea baggers Know about all the Ins Lobby money going to commercials and such to influence the debate, Do they side with these same Rich Corporate Crooks who provide nothing of value but just Change Money and skim 35 percent off the top?A Real Teabagger worth their salt would charge into their offices and start turning over their desks.
