Teabaggers descend on Congress today to 'scare' them out of passing health care reform

Unfortunately, it doesn't take much.

Minnesotta wingnut Republican House member Michele Bachmann called on the teabagging protesters to descend on the US Capitol building today to "scare" Members of Congress into not passing health care reform. Read the article, it's quite illustrative. Bachmann notes that Democrats got "scared" by the Teabagging protests last August, and that all the protesters need do is "scare" the Democrats again - bring video cameras, Bachmann suggests - and the Democrats will cave, like they did in August.

And Bachmann is right. Courage is at a minimum in our party, in our Congress, and in our White House. Scared is their middle name. Will the racist Teabaggers be able to con Congress and the White House again into thinking the nation - read: the 19% of the electorate that watches FOX News and never votes Democratic - is rising up in anger, or will Congress and the White House finally do its job and lead?

To remind you exactly who Michele Bachmann's teabagging friends really are, I take you back to the video we posted a few months ago from our new friends, Chase Whiteside (the guy in the video) and Erick Stoll (his cameraman and business partner at New Left Media), who we met in Maine (they're undergrads and drove out on their own dime from Ohio to help). The video is priceless, and has had over 800,000 views on YouTube. I asked the boys whether they cherry-picked the worst of the crowd for their video. They said, absolutely not. They included EVERY SINGLE INTERVIEW THEY DID. And they were all horrible. No cherry-picking necessary. If you want to donate to help the guys do more work like this, here is their PayPal page. I highly recommend helping them out - after you watch this video, I think you'll agree that we need more people like these two college kids in the Democratic party.
