Actually, it’s difficult to hear Senator Frank Lautenberg’s patronizing follow-up, because the right-to-life counterprotestors taping his remarks reacted vocally to the idea that an elected official would divide up Constitutional freedoms based on whether people “deserve” them or not. His allowance that he’d give those freedoms to Tea Partiers despite their political views might be even more offensive than his initial remark on Tuesday, as he addressed a Planned Parenthood demonstration: … The Republicans in Congress claim they’re concerned about the budget balance, but it’s a disguise! It’s not true! It’s a lie! That’s not what they want. They want — they want other people not to be able to have their own opinions. They don’t deserve the freedoms that are in the Constitution! But we’ll give it to them anyway.

Shut up and eat your pudding Frankie. It’s almost time for a nap!
Lautenberg. New Jersey’s finest.
For the moment, the ideological heirs of those that believe the flames of liberty must be extinguished and the aspirations of the individual curtailed for the alleged good of humanity have grown more sophisticated in their methods of getting the people to comply with their agenda. However, as Americans draw ever closer to the breaking point of just how much they are willing to put up with as frankly we are fast approaching the threshold where there is precious little left for the state to steal, we must ask with concern: will the aspiring despots among us resort to the violent tendencies of their philosophical progenitors in the attempt to bring about socialism’s ultimate triumph?
Considering Senator Lautenberg doesn’t intend to live up to his oath the “to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States,” he doesn’t deserve to continue to be a US senator.
He’s so old he farts dust. These people are despicable.
A Democrat POS before it was fashionable.
I used to dislike dems....but I can’t stop there any longer.
Rage is now the emotion that drives me these days.
by “don’t deserve the freedoms” it means that the right wing has no rights and should be oppressed and killed anytime by Democrats.
According to Lautenberg, he was fighting for the wrong side in WW II.
Nobody hardly asks which side Lautenberg fought for in WW II.
The State Dept. Nazi hunters missed one.
Too old and decrepit to change his own diaper.
These A$$H0LES just can't give it up and fade away gracefully.
I always thought the Bill of Rights was further limitation of the power of government that was supported by conservatives of the era.
Good question. I fear the answer is “yes.” There are plenty around Obama who would happily march Freepers off to labor camps.
The Republicans in Congress claim they're concerned about the budget balance, but it's a disguise! It's not true! It's a lie! That's not what they want. They want -- they want other people not to be able to have their own opinions. They don't deserve the freedoms that are in the Constitution! But we'll give it to them anyway.Just try to take 'em away, you miserable crooked a-hole. We will never have to worry about threats from your kind, ever again. Count on it.
has already decided that the babies he murders do not deserve the G-d given inalienable Right to Life.

Things might be coming to a head soon.
He’s right. Republicans don’t deserve the freedom set by the constitution because they refuse to fight for those rights and to keep the country financially viable.
