(VIDEO) Dem Senator Harkin: Get Arrested to Save Medicaid
MRCTV.org (Media Research Center TV) ^ | 9/22/2011 | Joe Schoffstall

Posted on 09/22/2011 7:31:18 AM PDT by blog.Eyeblast.tv

Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) spoke to a crowd gathered in Washington, D.C., outside of the Capitol and said, "We need some of you probably getting arrested for doing things you shouldn't be doing" to save Medicaid.

Also, Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont), who is a self-avowed socialist, told MRCTV he was at the rally to 'save' Medicaid and that Republicans care more about representing the 'wealthiest people in the country', large campaign contributors and 'hedge fund people' than working and low-income families.

Harkin is an aged communist rat, but somehow he keeps getting elected. Bernie says he’s a socialist but he too is an America-hating commie!

How does a sitting elected representative call for illegal conduct on the part of the citizens?

Harkin should be arrested for inciting to criminal offense.

Who lied about his military service record. The worst kin of liar in my opinion.

Harkin’s got to be getting pretty old these days. Another 10 years and a whole bunch of the old liberal lions of the House and Senate will no longer be breathing.

An entitlement is not a human right, it's a benefit, a perk.
It can exist only as long as we can afford to sustain it.
When the economy is going south, all such programs have to be looked at.
Granted, there are lots of wasteful spending that should be cut first.
But let's get this straight: When you are NOT getting a benefit, or a smaller benefit, it's not the same thing as taking something away from you.
You GETTING a benefit means it has been taken from SOMEONE ELSE.

Is he inciting people to commit criminal acts? Isn’t that a crime?

Why are they and the AARP all up in arms now when the major cuts were already made in Obamacare? Why do they lie so much?
