Ohio Democratic Party chairman Chris Redfern has had enough of the Tea Party.

Addressing a meeting of the United Steelworkers union, Redfern criticized Tea Partiers for believing that health care is a privilege and not a right, and let the expletive slip during a heated moment.

If your kids are going to graduate from college, now he or she gets health care, your heath care, while he or she looks for a new job," Redfern said. "It's in the very base terms we win these arguments. Every time one of these fuckers says, excuse my language...

I rarely visit here, but man, is it fun! Why are you Dems all so upset with the TEA party folks? And it's rich that you use a homosexual epithet to criticize the TEA party; hypocritical much? If the TEA party folks are so dumb and ignorant and hateful, why are they winning the argument? I love the poster who counter the claim that Democrats lied about the Helath Care and Stimulus bills with the claim that Republicans' lies (assumed of course, but not in evidence) are to blame for Homelessness, Hunger (great one that, do you even KNOW how the governement defines "going hungry"? I bet you don't), Debt (which, as embarrasing as the Republicans were 2001-2006, the only Dem complaint was NOT nough spending) and the war. (By the way, when President Clinto lied, people DID die; the innocent poeple in the NOT-a-chemical factory died in that "nothing-to-see-here-about-Monica" bombing). Of course, the idea is that the easily documented lies and misdirection of the Dems to get Health Care and the Stimulus passed are excused because the Repubs lied --nice rally call! All you all do on this site is call names and tell those who disagree with you they are evil. You have no clear ideas or plans. Much like the President you voted for. Awesome, keep doing what you're doing, it's working great, just not for you.

I would like to see all of his speech. Does anybody have a link to the whole thing?

Gee, you Dems seem to be getting a little upset that we have figured out you dirty lies.
This is my first visit here and all I see is pissed off Dems with dirty mouths.
This may be my last visit, no wait, I'll come back Nov 3 and watch all you guys crying in your beer.
Your days are numbered.

OUR dirty lies? Americans are DEAD because of Republicans' dirty lies. Americans are HOMELESS because of Republicans' dirty lies. Americans are JOBLESS because of Republicans' dirty lies. Americans are HUNGRY because of Republicans' dirty lies. America is in DEBT because of Republicans' dirty lies. Go ahead and vote for your psychopaths on November 2nd because we are NOT GOING AWAY no matter what you thieving liars do. So BRING IT ON!

Very much so.  Far classier than calling being raped "making lemons into lemonade".

The self-proclaimed "tolerance" and "compassion" from your side is always proven to be phony judging from the hate spewed here.

You can take the alleged "self proclaimed tolerance and compassion" and get the heck out of our country.  You don't deserve to live here.

He's probably just upset that they're going to lose the elections for governor and senator.

So you support the party whose platform includes forcing rape victims to carry their pregnancies to terms and then deny them maternity leave after the child is born?

We're done playing around with you fools.  You have had plenty of time to play colonial-era soldier and wear silly hats, but if you think we real Americans are going to let you ruin this great country of ours, you have another thing coming.

Check back Nov 3, and see who's Gov and Senator.
Looks like us tea partiers are getting under you skin.

That was Sharron Angle's point when she said that she was opposed to mandatory maternity leave, so I think you're on to something.
