Ryan jokes and laughs as 71-year-old is forced to the ground

I'm stealing Diane Sweet's headline (she posted this recently at Crooks & Liars) — because mine was far more editorial:

"VoucherCare Ryan" shows his Republican true colors:
Conscienceless & cruel (Granny, you're next)

Call this "burying the head" — I couldn't make myself put that up front.

But I swear to god, there's something really off about these people. Something do to with empathy I think. Dunno, maybe it's an anti-Christian thing.

Anyway, thanks to Diane for resurrecting this. Enjoy the full flavor of the man:



Diane's take:

This took place last fall at one of Congressman Rep. Ryan’s “Pay to Play” town hall meetings where he was discussing cutting Senior’s Social Security, and Medicare as a means of debt reduction. As you might imagine, one senior was not pleased.

Indeed.

But that's not the worst. Is Ryan Opus Dei, like Scalia and Thomas are rumored to be? If so, I could care less about your taxes, sir. Show me the marks from that torture-belt you guys wear.

That's right, Paul — I want to see what makes you think you're a Christian. Got scars? 'Cause otherwise I can't figure it out.

Your friend in you-know-who (seriously),
