His comments are outrageous, but unfortunately, we see this type of hatred more and more from our supposed "leaders." Concord is full of this type of venom and that is why voters need to look at character as much as policy positions when voting in November.

I am so glad this guy did not win a seat on the Town Council. This is not the type of person we need in public office representing Merrimack. This clearly shows very poor character to wish a deadly disease on anyone. Shows very poor judgment.

. Mike Malzone has done more for Merrimack Tax payers. Than any other Merrimack citizen and is an example of someone who works for citizens instead of just sniping from the sidelines

Dave, you have a close personal relationship with Mr. Malzone so I can understand why you would feel the need to defend him after he states publicly that he wants 5 US Supreme Court justices to get cancer.

I can't believe you're still smoking. I also can't believe that you would wish cancer on any human being let alone our Supreme Court Justices. Better watch out - things sometimes have a way of coming back and hitting us in the behind. You are an excellent candidate for lung cancer, emphysema or COPD. Do you realize that previoiusly uninsured people can now be insured? Or that some students who are able to go on to grad school can now be insured under their parents' insurance? There are a lot of great advantages to this plan - you just have to read them all.

Wow. Some folks need to check the alarm clock. Its time to wake up. The law is a POS. There are a few provisions that actually mean something, very few, the rest is another power grab that will serve up every working, powerless person in this country who does not want every aspect of their lives to be under the control of a governing body that is as inept as it is corrupt. Every member of that captive audience will be served up on a silver platter to the insurance industry and the IRS. And the real problems with US healthcare will remain. They just keep taking more and more regardless of what label you use to brand the criminals. You can kick a sleeping dog only so many times.
"If there are degrees of evil it is hard to say who is more contemptible, the brute who assumes the right to force the mind of others or the moral degenerate who grants to others the right to force his mind," Ayn Rand. If you think Mr. Malzone's words are harsh wait until you see what happens when the IRS starts rounding people up and taking every penny they own. Enjoy the safety of your upper-middle class, baby boomer pedestal. When the feculent wedding between collectivism and altrusim implodes due to fake government we will see who is answerable and who is not.

I am without words for such a comment made by a former Merrimack official. He should be ashamed of himself! I am embarrased for him! No one wishes that on anyone.

Ayn Rand.???????? Ayn Rand???????? = Hickman

Well at least if God forbid, they get sick there will be a system now that will speed their recovery. That is even true for the bozo who wished it on them.

At least he has the grapes to stand behind what he says in person, rather than faceless blogery. I applaud his comments and my only reservation is that they were not harsh enough.

If this man ever decides to run for an office again, please remember how his brain functions in such a sick manner.

No more "pre-existing conditions clauses", no more having your kids kicked off your insurance, dealing with the deadbeats who refuse to buy insurance yet show up to emergency rooms when they get sick (thus you and I paying for them), no more lifetime caps on coverage... etc... etc... pus I get to KEEP my own insurance! Requiring premiums to actually pay for care and not fat-cat bonuses! What's not to like?

What is funny is rhetoric from clowns like Malzone. Wishing cancer on people is just wrong.

This is not an issue of freedom. That's just tea party rhetoric.

The insurance companies and hospitals are not complaining. They get millions more paying customers through their doors, which is why their stock is up...

It's only a tax if you are dead beat sponging on the rest of us.

John, I hope you know that your comments, and those of Mr. Malzone, say more about you than they ever will about the Justices. Your hatred of the Justices - supporting the notion that they get cancer because of this decision - is actually hurting you. Try to be calmer and more in control of your emotions and you will feel a lot better.

Teabaggers,

You are embarrassing America. You are making us all look like a nation of dumb asses. Shut up, shut up, Shut UP!!!

Such good Right Wing Christians

Yep this Tea Bagger is like the average middleclass worker who has to pay $10,000 in Property Taxes on his house everyyear. Baggers are so stupid

Here is the frustration I have with the Tea Party. In one statement he says "he's tired paying taxes to help people who don't do enough to help themselves." Yet isn't that the whole purpose of this madate? You are only taxed if you DON"T take responsibility for yourself. That point of view doesn't hold water.

People reading this from outside NH should be told that the reason for his high property taxes is that NH has no income tax and no sales tax and is therefore almost totally dependent on property tax for maintaining government.

Well, property tax and hand outs from the Federal government.

How awful! Another embarrassment to the town of Merrimack never mind to humanity! To ever wish such an awful affliction on ANYONE is repulsive! I never voted for you and if you ever run again will surely vote against you!

EBT cards are used for what used to be food stamps.

Food stamps could only be used for food.

EBT cards are also used for cash assistance benefits (welfare) which has no such restrictions on it.

A vile small minded man. Don't want to pay evil taxes? Move to Somalia and find out what governmint free gets you. "Sorry,lifeboats full" the teabag team song.

Why mercy heaven's no, these Teabaggers arent a buncha hateful extremists at all!

:-/

Every evil thought and word sent out to harm someone will boomerang back to the sender.

I always liked Mike Malzone & Dave McCray when they were involved in the town council because from a fiscal standpoint, they did always seem to have the taxpayers interest in mind. However I began to see a different side of Mike once he created Merrimack Tea on Facebook (and it wasn't a pretty one - sorry Mike). I'm a hard working taxpayer who considers myself independant but leans more towards democratic. We don't live in a perfect world and neither party (Rep/Dem) will ever be perfect. We must learn to control our emotions and channel our anger into constructive solutions. We cannot be quick to condemn one segment of society and group people under one umbrella (i.e. all people on welfare are deadbeats, or all people on welfare are illegal immigrants). That's a cop out - plain & simple. Don't insult my intelligence. Close the loopholes in programs so that only people who have worked for it (or deserve it in other ways) get the assistance, and not just anybody who is too lazy to try working for themselves. Quite frankly, I see too much white trash (born in this country) who have been kicked to the curb once they reach adulthood (high school dropouts, pregnant and 'love to party') who suck the system dry more than any illegal immigrant does. FOCUS ON SOLUTIONS, NOT JUST PLAYING THE BLAME GAME!! Until republicans come up with legitimate DETAILED alternatives, I won't be listening.

There's a great line from the Jerry Lewis movie King Of Comedy. Jerry just escaped his kidnapper and is rushing down the street to safety, and some old dame on the payphone says "Jerry, Jerry, say hello to my granddaughter". When he keeps up his pace she shouts at him "Cancer! May you get cancer!"

Call me crazy, but if I have to pay a few more dollars in taxes so that someone does not starve or does not go without medical help, I am glad to pay. I don't care who the recepients are or what they've done with their lives. You don't allow people to die because you won't part with a bit of your precious money.

This about sums up the Tea Party.

I don't see any "little guy" living off my taxes other than politicians, the supreme court justices and corporations! Mr. Malzone grow up and smell the roses, I, personally am out of patience with the whole lot of you! Before you open your mouth I strongly suggest you educate yourself and do the research to back up your ignorant statements!

Mike Malzone needs to immediately apologize to the Justices and the American people!!! The SC acted responsibly in their decision that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is constitutional! If they had ruled against the ACA, Mr. Malzone, along with others who are hell-bent about the pro -ACA ruling, would have been as happy as a kid on Christmas morningt!! That shows, it's not about the SC decision in their minds. it's really about them!! They want to call all the political shots and, like Mr. Malzone, go so far as a blind rage when they cannot have it their way!! What about Americans who are suffering with major health conditions without health care, including children!!?? Don't they matter!?! The Affordable Care Act offers much-needed help for anyone with no health insurance!! Everyone can choose their own insurance, just as they do now and people who can't afford insurance will get credits to help them. No one will be penalized or "taxed" if they cannot afford health insurance! Those who can afford it and choose not to get insurance are the only ones who'll be penalized or "taxed," and they are less than 1-2% of Americans! Under ACA, no longer can Insurance companies deny people they already cover if they get sick. And they cannot deny those with pre-existing conditions or put a cap on what they'll pay!! There are many other benefits to this Act! Read up on it!

Words hurt. How would he feel if someone publicly wished his wife would get the most horrible cancer and live forever, his daughters be raped and get pregnant, his parents get terrorized by a home invasion, etc. He would be appalled - especially if that someone didn't know him or his family. I can't imagine Democrats saying the same thing if ACA was voted the other way.

"Malzone, who recently ran an unsuccessful campaign for an open seat on the Merrimack Town Council, said he wouldn't have posted what he did if he were a sitting public official. But as a citizen representing himself, he was exercising his right to free speech."

Mr. Malzone is a sitting public official. He currently holds an elected seat on the Merrimack School Budget Committee.

If the media didn't cover the Teabaggers, they'd be revealed to be the tiny little group of tiny little idiots they are. If they want to focus on Teabaggers, why not give equal time to other fringe groups, like Socialists, Druids, Anarchists, and Communists? Make them seem like important parts of the American polity. It'd only be fair. Equal excessive time for all parts of the political fringe, I say!

I just want to commend most of the folks on this thread.

Rebuking this anti-social, un-Christian and un-American vileness is the only way to pushback the tide of juvenile indecency that's polluting our discourse. You're all credits to your state and the lovely town of Merrimack.

It's easy to get annoyed with Mike Malzone, but, honestly, are we shocked? His words - repulsive as they are - represent what baggers think. Most just have the sense not to say it out loud. So what's hard about this, for me, is thinking about what causes him to feel such fury. My answer: the media. They distort reality to sell a story. A guy buys cigarettes funded in part with my tax money. Meanwhile, 99 women buy food funded in part with my tax money since both parents have lost their jobs. Gee, which is the more fury-inducing story? Yeah, let's go with the cigarette story and not balance it with any other facts and figures.

Yes, there are bottom-feeders who let us fish and are happy to gobble up our droppings, and there are top-feeders (think Wall St) who let us fish and are happy to snatch our catch from our line. Both are parasites and we should work to improve the system so parasites don't thrive. But the vast number of people, both rich and poor, are not parasites. They're just people, not unlike Mike and his wife, who are doing the best with what they've got. But that's not a very interesting story, is it. And balanced reporting would cause people to think about real solutions to real problems, which isn't nearly as fun as whipping up a hate-filled crowd.

If you are on Facebook, you can go to his page, complete with his phone # and see that this is not atypical for his rantings. A couple of swear words are no worse than the usual rants he has posted for the last year and a half. Read them, you'll see.
I do find it sad and disturbing that the reporter chose not to take the step of looking at the rest of the page (did you look at it at all?) and putting his comments in context. In context, his comments are not surprising at all. He spouts all the usual tea party/free stater/republican lies-
taxes are stealing
he never benefits from taxes
illegals/lazy people are the only ones who benefit from government
his hatred is based in christianity
his hatred is based on the constitution
"others" are responsible for all the problems of this country
the President has apologized to foreign countries
It's like cliff notes for the Hannity, Limbaugh and Beck shows, with lots of bad grammar and spelling.

This guy is just a waste of time, wishing Cancer on someone just shows what kind of human being he is.

As a former Merrimack resident, I can vouch for the stupidity of a small percentage of the voters that Malzone represents. The Tea Party members are always selfish, bigoted and loath to be part of the solution to any civic problem. AND IGNORANT.

None of us are surprised with what this guy said. The only surprise is why anyone would admit to knowing him or being associated with the Tea Party. Even the Klan had enough sense to wear hoods so that no one would know who they were.

people that do bad things or wish bad things on others will have that wish come knocking on their own back door. it always comes home to roost

Typical lowbrow tbagger....if I were a Merrimack resident, I'd be outraged that this fool is connected to the school budget committee.

"...and the cancer reference was more to make a point that he wants them to feel the pain being inflicted on Americans being overburdened by taxes..."

I lost my wife of 25 years to cancer, Mr Malzone. You know nothing about pain.

Karma has a way of working things out. Have a nice forever, Mr. Malzone.”

Why is it that people wanting freedom to not buy health insurance is more important then the freedom to live? To know that with chronic illness u can get health insurance and not worry about caps or denials? To me ACA is about freedom to live not about taxes. ACA will let children and adults the freedom to live by giving them access to insurance and care. Freedom to live trumps freedom to avoid paying taxes.

I mean live in literal sense.

Typical bagger ending to his explanation / apology for the language he used....."if I offended anyone." If I had a nickel for every time I've heard this from a Republican / Teabagger this year, I'd be in the top 1 %.....what a crock !!!

That's the Tea Potty for you: Class all the way. Unfortunately, all their "class" is of the LOW variety.

Shame on you you hateful excuse for a human being. Hoping someone suffers and dies because you don't agree with them demonstrates a poor moral compass. Tea Party, my ass...I think the initials TP stand for toilet paper because that's all you're good for. Have a nice cancer free day, wingnuts.

Typical sociopathic rhetoric from bitter people, who'd rather let a person with no health insurance die, than work together to get everyone covered. Social Darwinism at it's worst, let nature take it's course I got my insurance.

The reverse might just happen. This anti social being and the other raging GOP's badly need to attend Anger management classes .

And I'm sure he doesn't want him covered with his preexisting epilepsy.

I went to read Malzone's post, but it's gone off of FB and an apology is posted. He says he did it in the heat of moment, but the article above states he stood by what he said a full day after he said it? Do you think that the national Tea Party leaders got after him? Have you looked at their friends on FB? Lots of state reps on there.

Y'know it's truly a shame. What this guy said is inexcusable. However it is clear he gets his information and "inspiration" from talk radio and the Fox news channel. People like Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Michele Malkin and the ever despicable Sean Hannity spew hatred disguised as "news" and "editorial". They deceive, purposefully distort and incite to achieve their goals to "win" and make money, without regard to the consequences of their actions. They prey on the less educated and play to their fears. They tell them not to trust anyone but them. They discourage them from thinking and they make them angry and paranoid. They incite them to say things like what Mr. Malzone says, or in the case of the contempt charges against Attorney General Holder the key witness has admitted to throwing rocks through Democratic Offices' windows,or burn down family planning clinics or preach concentration camps for gays and lesbians (Rev. Charles Worley...) What Mr. Malzone said is horrible but I'm sure he is a faithful Fox news viewer and they are just as culpable in the shaming of American political dialogue.

Give me a break! Was Mike's comment appropriate? Probably not. Did it warrant its own story on Patch to stir up the public? No.

What is telling to me is all of the hypocrites in this comment thread trashing their right-wing-cause Du-jour under the guise of outrage; some of whom are INFAMOUS for public tirades of personal attacks. Is Mike really the only guy to post to Facebook or send an e-mail while he was angry ... one that he'd probably do differently had he counted to ten? I know I have done it and I bet most of the posters here have too.

It is shameful to see people trashing Mike, his friends, his reputation and anything else while claiming that HE is the hate-filled one. Give it a rest. Mike is the most genuine and approachable person I know. He helps people without the need for a Patch article to pat him on the back. Maybe those Merrimack haters should talk to a few elderly in the area and find out the real story on Malzone.

What Mike said was wrong and inappropriate, plain and simple. To think there would be no repercussion from his statements just boggles my mind. At my job I see the affect cancer has on not only the person affected with the cancer but what it does to the love ones. Maybe those that see nothing wrong with what he said should spend some time in a Hospice house and see the affects. This was very poor judgment for an elected official and a so called leader.

I'm not from the Granite State, but you've really impressed me with your clearheaded responses to this misquided gas bag - I mean Tea Bag ger

Gary, are you serious? In case you missed it, he could have counted to ten 8640 times and STILL not apologized! I know you are a friend of Mike's and a big fan of Merrimack Tea, but there are others that can't excuse his public profanity-laced tirade, especially since he holds elected office. For you to say his comments were only "probably" inappropriate says a lot more about you than anyone your are trying to attack. Get rid of your anger and you'll feel a lot better. If not, you're heading for the venom-filled rage that has obviously consumed Mike.

Dave, would you please let me know how my town taxes went down when Mike was on the Town Council?

If this is the way that members of this so called Tea Party movement feels....the have
A real serious problem. These folks think like Natzis....if you dont Agee
With them...then you will die a Horrible death.

This individual who likely fancies himself 'informed' seems not to know the Justice Ginsburg has, so far, survived not only colon cancer but pancreatic cancer, as well. Perhaps in light of the fact that she had excellent health care, she did not want to see millions of others face those diagnoses with no options. As an RN for 30 years, I learned to put myself in the shoes of others and found I wouldn't trade my problems for theirs. Empathy can do wonders for attitiudes.

I can understand Mike's comments and accept his explanation re the heat of battle. His comments re the SCOTUS ruling and the Health Care Plan are still valid and those who resort to name calling and ridicule of Mike and the Tea Party obviously haven't read any of the 2700+ pages and don't understand the ramifications of the Bill. Instead of the vile comments that are being made, perhaps folks arguing specific points based upon reality would be helpful to all of us in reaching general understanding. For example, instead of forcing a massive Bill upon Americans, why wasn't cost containment measures such as Tort reform, procuring competitive insurance across state lines, passed as a digestible Bill? Offering expanded coverage without increasing premiums will put some insurance companies at risk. Doctors will see an increased workload with minimal benefit. The most efficient systems are best handled on a local basis. No one is recommending pushing Grandma off a cliff on her wheelchair. However, there has to be more of a match between supply and demand. When something is free or close to it, everyone who studies basic economic theory knows that over time demand will outstrip the supply. I'm for a more civil discussion on how we can proceed without breaking our great country.

"He said he feels “beaten down and worn out” by the government, and he is tired of paying taxes to help people who don't do enough to help themselves."

Well Mike, then you should love the new law!!! Why?? Because all those people whom you think are getting things for free will start paying taxes to cover their health care costs!! That's right, all those uninsured people waiting in line at the local emergency room will now be paying for their "free care"!! And you, who already has health coverage, you don't need to pay anything extra because you already pay for health care. See how great that is!! And now those premiums won't keep going "ap and up" to cover all those free care folks at the emergency room. It's a win-win-win all around for you Mike. Too bad nobody on the TeaParty News Channel told you all of this... it really could have saved you some grief.

"My words were mine alone and in no way representative of the Tea Party. I deeply regret that my actions will be used to attack individuals who work so hard to ensure that the values of the framers of the constitution continue to be adhered to and followed."

"the values of the framers". Hmm . . . That presents a few pesky problems, no?

First, what are the values of the framers? Going by the example set by the most distinguished of the framers, these "values" included sexual liaisons with with women who had a slave -- slave-owner relationship with you resulting in ("race mixing.")

The values of the framers certainly included a universal sense that non-white people were not fully human and slavery was not only justified but was indeed in the interests of the slaves themselves.

The values of the framers of the US constitution were the values of plantation owners, bankers, traders, salon keepers and all around libertines of the 18th century, period.

Man, I can't wait for the TP to bring back the good old days.

he looks like a log cabin republican to me......

Socialism is a fringe political gambit? The new president of France is a socialist—would that the U.S. worked at least a quarter as well as does France. Never been to France? Pity, you might understand so much more about the way the world works, including your teensy benighted backwater. And never mind giving me the finger—my great-grandparents from Paris settled and built the Merrimack River. But Concord isn’t Paris, my febrile cochon. You’ve got more than miles to go before the reverse of that obloquy bursts into flames. You’re small potatoes. Insignificant boils on history’s arse. Mikey Malzone and any other baggers who might be listening—go away, and take the American Taliban with you into desert wastes—all those fine wackaloons like Joseph Smith and Mutt Romney, all those Pat Robertsons and Billy Grahams who never did anything but make other people miserable and frighten the horses. And that other nut—Tammy Fay Baker’s hubbie, Jim.

Oh, and there's George Patton and Dugout Doug MacArthur--two loonies

You baggers fit right in among the oddballs . But you wouldn't fit into the Continental Congress.

Apology not accepted!

Mr. Malzone, As an adult, a teacher, a role model, and a concerned Merrimack citizen I've taught many 5th grade students in Merrimack that they need to think before they speak because the 'mess' they create remains forever if they speak in anger. I'm thankful that most of my students will not behave as you have, in such an juvenile way. I find it sad that you are considered a man of importance in my community and speak in such an immature way. Thank goodness for you, the military members of my family earned you the right to say whatever thought comes into your brain.

The reason there are no negative comments on Malzone's post on the Merrimack Tea facebook page is because he's deleting them. I left this comment on his apology post and it disappeared in about 5 minutes. I was also blocked from the page. Here's my comment on the Merrimack Tea page: "Malzone's hyperbolic rhetoric is the reason that most people don't take the Tea Party seriously. Tea Partiers assert that they are all about taxes. With federal taxes at a 60 year low, it's not really about taxes. It's really about hatred."

It is a shame that there are those so gullibly ignorant that they cannot see that their representation in Washington uses nothing but lies and deception for their agenda that they present to their constituents. If only they knew that their goal is to make us a Colony serving China as their new world leader. American Corporations pay taxes there building their economy and Military and none here once all of their loopholes and write offs are taken into consideration. Most Americans expect the same honesty from Politicians that we practice in communicating with each other yet they do not practice the same with us. God help the U.S.A. and protect us from those in Washington who deceptively lie to US!

It would be nice if we could return to Nature and pay no taxes as those in the Tea Party wish we could do. In our modern world however we have gone too far to be able to live so simplistically. We need our Military in this Nuclear age and since we ( Middle & Working Classes ) are the only ones paying for it due to the Bush Corporate tax forgiveness. Our children defend their Corporate fortunes overseas and as a thank you do not return to a Job as American Corporatins are creating them mainly in China and India.

Right...and there's ZERO hate that comes from the Left. Uh-huh....sure...

He should be ashamed of himself! Clearly he has not sympathy for someone who has been denied healthcare insurance because of pre-existing condition.

This just goes to prove, Tea Tards wrap themselves in the constitution, instead of reading it. what a douche.

Over at the Merrimack Tea Facebook page they're complaining that we're over here commenting about Malzone. I, for one, would be happy to be commenting on their page had Malzone not deleted my comment and blocked me. Free speech for all! That is, unless you disagree with Tea dogma.

Looks like Malzone is camped out on his Merrimack Tea facebook page since he just deleted a comment from another reader that didn't please him. Here's the latest comment from outside the echo chamber: From: Jim _____ "Thanks for the apology, Michael, but the damage is done, and you have done America a great service by pulling back the veil to expose the true rage, hatred and seething resentment in every Teabagger's heart. The movement has little to do with "freedom" and "liberty" - it's about fascist control and religious fanaticism. A bunch of old, scared white people who sat there and did nothing while Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush enacted policies that led to the financial collapse. Teabaggers have no knowledge of history or reality - they are just motived by their own deep hatred and resentment that they ain't the fellers in charge anymore, and a black guy is president." That's the problem with many conservatives. When raging to the blogosphere, they're really brave. When confronted with someone as strong (or stronger), or someone armed with the facts that don't fit the Tea narrative, they run. Or worse, threaten that someone.

Guy needs to step down, obviously from his position on the School Budget Committee or whatever office he fell into. You make hollow diatribe like that in a public forum, as any type of public official, you need step away for awhile. As far as the far right sentiment goes..it's pretty a-typical, and frankly not a surprise anymore, is it? They are 'locked' into this extremo civil liberty thing. I work with a guy who talk just like this. Scary stuff, when the hate filled rhetoric starts..it reminds me a bit of Westboro Baptist Church stuff, and to wish cancer on someone after losing a family member to cancer very recently, just shows his lack of civil tact and demeanor. Sounds like someone needs to get over himself, stop spewing hate and venom because this is the only thing that will get you noticed from here on out.

Not surprisingly, another non-apology apology. He actually uses the words I'm sorry, but goes on to say the Supreme Court decision (not a verdict!) was wrong, implying the wrong decision caused his bad act. He then goes on to make it very clear he only apologized so as to not damage the reputation of the tea party. Too late. He did no damage but to re-enforce the image they work so hard to project.
I only regret not taking a screen shot of his post. He's able to pull a Winston Smith and redact what he posted, and we can't count on the media to hold him accountable. It won't be long before he'll deny even saying it.
So sad that the Patch again lets him get away with portraying himself as having only lost his cool once, when the FB page for Merrimack Tea Party clearly demonstrates the vitriol he spews on a regular basis. The only difference this time was a couple of swear words, a reference to cancer and MRSA (I can only assume that's what he meant by mercer). If he's a "regular guy" who just got frustrated with a situation, I say we need a different definition of a regular guy.

Typical ultra-reich-wing hater. Lash out immediately - apologize ONLY when it gets you in trouble. Like we're going to believe the apology of someone who could say something like that in the first place...!

We all have the right to agree or disagree with any point. For sure there have been decisions that I wish had gone another way. And I believe we all know what it feels like to want and wish for something to go your way, and the pain you have when it doesn't. When I am at a vulnerable time as clearly this was a vulnerable time for Mr. Malzone, I remove myself from public view and earshot. I give myself time to adjust, pour out , cry out or perhaps some therapeutic scream therapy. Then I return when I can speak with a social voice on the issue. But to wish ill health on another human being? They had to do their job now, and please think on that one. Those persons mean something to someone. They are someone's mother, father, sister, brother, loved one, significant other, and just plain another human being. Please think on that one. Louise Malbon-Reddix - http://www.victoryroadwellnesscenter.com

Malzone's apology received. Not accepted. The Tea Party does NOT represent the sentiments of the framers of the constitution. In fact, they seem to totally misunderstand the premise of federalism and are intolerant of opinions other than their own. And are largely blatantly racist.
