Because of the significance of the evening I decided to skip a really awesome concert and the chance to go out for dinner so I could watch the live Senate debate on CSPAN. I also decided it would be appropriate to spend some time with the one community I’ve embedded with for so long, struggling through this whole debate with. Along with their crazy forums, Resistnet.com also has an equally crazy live chat room where Tea Partiers and like minded individuals can gather to talk and pray and reassure each other that the Communist menace will be beaten back in the good name of the lawd. Below are the best moments from last night’s chat in an edited format (for transparency’s sake I will also provide the unedited logs, but honestly you don’t even need to assume I altered the crazy in these peoples’ words, you really can’t make this stuff up).
Oh also, when I say “best” moments I mean the moments when the Resistnet folks were at their personal “best”, which is to say the words I read last night indicate that the Resistnet community, no matter how their spokespeople paint them, are a bunch of racist, violent, gun-toting, zealously Christian, proud rednecks who would like nothing more than to see our government figured murdered, assassinated, hung, drawn and quartered, simply because they lost their shouting match that’s taken place over the past year and 2 months. I had wished last night would be the culmination and the end of such things, but to be honest I believe that, in the words of the Resisters, “things are only getting started”:
Yay! Sniper assassination party!
Dr. James Lawrenzi speaks for himself
See it’s ok to talk about picking up your gun and killing people because it’s relaxing to some of the Resistnet community
Yup you sure do Dee, but we did see that, we saw all of the crazy that you’re community “supposedly” does not represent.
I thought there wasn’t such a thing as working whites anymore since the latinos move in to town.
How dare those Black and Hispanics go to their own colleges! I’m not racist though, really.
Locked and loaded, with pitchforks (and guns).
If you covered the streets of DC in your blood I’m sure there would be those who would celebrate not having to pay for you in the new Healthcare system.
At this point Rep. John Boehner was giving his passionate remarks about the HC bill, calling to have the senators vote individually so these crazies can identify them and know whose picture to put up on their target ranges.
First they came for my neighbors (who I didn’t like anyway), and I said nothing…
Man even if she was on fire? Nancy Pelosi just can’t catch a break with these people.
Yeah witches are people too (unlike Nancy Pelosi who is some kind of half dog-person, half breakfast pastry)!
So Mellie (who is a big time admin on Resistnet) is welcoming this bill because she won’t be denied coverage for being a woman? Right on sista!
And if you’re happy with your current plans you can keep it!
Yeah, what’s the point of insurance anyw– oh.
It’s all come down to this, the vote has begun.
Too bad old folks will now be transformed into some kind of super immortal race (who will apparently shoot you) with this new Healthcare reform.
The anxiety of the vote got to some people, those would would fantasize about kissing Democrats on the lips (with tongue and everything!)
Oh haha, suddenly that thing I was joking about has become reality for Tana W. Bernard.
The vote is almost at 216 now, most of the Resistnet.com members now admit they’re ready to go to jail for crimes they’re going to commit.
Suddenly the realization that most of these people have wasted the last year of their lives sending faxes to Congress, shouting at politicians, and carrying their guns to protests. Note to self: blame it on Bush.
And finally the watershed moment. The votes have been cast, the bill has passed, now we’re past the point of no return. Time to start “changing” things.
Time to pray to God the politicians die, also time to declare internet silence, mostly due to the criminal nature of what we want to discuss.
Ok guys and gals, time to get this REVOLUTION STARTED Glenn Beck style!
Yes, F**K talking indeed.
No, we can’t say what we’re really thinking Resistnet administrator Dee because we’re really thinking someone should shoot the president.
What are we all thinking again?
Need new options? Tactics? Winning the War? What ever are they referring to?
Mmmmm KFC.
Tana W. Bernard the lawmakers are going to die soon? Why? It can’t be due to inadequate health coverage can it?
If you turn your protest flag upside down does that mean you’re no longer protesting what the flag represents?
PLANT! EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT AGREE WITH ME IS A PLANT! OBAMA AGENT PLANT!
It’s a slippery slope towards smae sex marriages everyone!
How evil of you!
Linn is too good for a socialist Federal prison.
I think you guys have had this end of times mentality for a while.
Yeah, down with Whitey!
The plants are getting to Moondog6
And on and on and on it goes. At this point in the evening I decided to go outside to smoke a cigarette and eat the rest of the bacon in my house in honor of the historic passage of Healthcare reform. This chat log was long, but long for a reason (there is just so much crazy out there, we need to be aware of it). I’m also sure this is not the end of this kind of rhetoric, nor the end of the Tea Party, Birther, Resistneters or their schemes.
However, no matter how batty, racist, anti-semetic, or violent these people get you can be sure that here at TarsTarkas.net we will be bringing you the raw information you need to know what these people are up to. You can be sure that this is only the beginning of something. It’s sure as hell the beginning of me being able to get affordable and fair healthcare coverage and not get reamed up the ass by insurance companies, but for some others it may as well be the beginning of the end. We can’t say how far any of these people will go to express their outrage against the government but we can only hope that the passing of Healthcare reform will mean a better and healthier life for so many Americans who work hard and deserve to be helped in their darkest hours. Cheers!
EDIT: This is Tars Tarkas with a quick edit, a person claiming to be the real Dr. James Lawrenzi has written us saying the guy on the Resistnet chat is a fake who is stealing his identity. I have no way to verify this fact, but it adds more drama to the mix and I figure it is at least fair to mention it. The other James Lawrenzi claims to be pro-HCR and is very upset.
SECOND EDIT: upon further review, there is no evidence that Dr. James Lawrenzi’s identity was stolen at this time. We are disappointed that there isn’t a vast conspiracy of fake identity trolls on Resistnet.com to expose.

March 22, 2010 at 3:14 pmWith two Admins and multiple moderators and organizers in the chat, they sure didn’t police anyone…

No, I guess they were moderators and admins after all (doing a horrible job!)

March 23, 2010 at 7:26 amIsn’t it amazing that when things were being screwed over by their side of the aisle the rest of us were told to “love it or leave it”, essentially, or that we were “traitors” if we didn’t get on board? When are these people going to go to Canada or Mexico, or somewhere, since they don’t “love” the country anymore? Sayanarah, suckers!

March 23, 2010 at 7:29 amI have seen this type of crazy up close and real at a local convenience store in Mesa AZ last year when President Obama was in town to speak at a local high school to a general audience. I witnessed a man pull an automtic? rifle(that is what it appeared to be) out of his vehicle and boast that if he could get Obama within his sights at the speech he would send a message, and then the guy acted out getting Obama in his sights and killing the ‘nigger”. Not surprising it was in the Mormon hotbed of Mesa particularly as I have never know a non-Republican Mormon in all my years living in Mesa and Utah. I think a Democratic Mormon might be excommunicated from the church. Anyway all this rhetoric is eventually going to lead to a violent incident somewhere from these rightwing crazies

March 23, 2010 at 7:49 amI was in the chat room when things were going on and what you have written has been taken of out of context for most of the people.
I would rather be a right winger anyday over a leftist that is not motivated to achieve but expects me to pay their way.

March 23, 2010 at 9:17 amFunny how every single thing Wingnuts say is taken out of context. It’s almost as if the only context allowed is one that ignores the outright racism and lies…

March 23, 2010 at 8:29 amIn regards to David Michaels, first you have no idea what you are talking about with your “motivated to achieve”. What is really happening in this country is that the changes brought about by Reaganomics and Republicans in the last 30 years is destroying this country economically for rightwing political/economic ideology. I work in health care and many of the people I work with work four or five 12 hour shifts a week in order to pay their bills. You dont think that is motivation? Regardless the amount that many of our hospital employers make us pay for health insurance makes it so many of my fellow workers working in health care, we dont have insurance (try having your share for family coverage be $800.00 a month). We are moving backwards in time to when my greatgrandfather worked six 12 hour shifts a week as a miner with just Sunday off, and woe if he became sick or disabled. His family would have suffered in the extreme. Second, it is never so obvious as during this debate that rightwingers, Republicans (you arent conservatives) love America and hate Americans. So David Michaels be proud you are a rightwing radical. All of these lies, threats, and intimidation are going to come back eventually as a defeat for you and your Christofacist allies.

March 23, 2010 at 12:46 pmHi David Michaels
We don’t intend to misrepresent anyone here on TarsTarkas.net, one of the reasons this HCR issue got so muddy has to do with people misrepresenting the entire debate to begin with, but we’re wondering what details we might have missed in regards to this event and would like to hear comment back from you. Thanks

March 23, 2010 at 12:51 pmChrist is gone, so his followers will have to be his feet, his eyes, and his heart. Jesus is gone, so his followers will have to be his love, kindness, and caring. The opposite of God obviously lives and grows strong. The people who care about Jesus Christ will show that in their love of their fellow man and won’t need or want guns.
