Beebe was the only candidate who received two or three rounds of applause

Probably for the stroke.

Yeah. That's how I want to be remembered. "Before these uneducated, racist yokels, in this restaurant, this den of spores, parasites, and e-Coli, I ALONE AM KING!!!"

I LOL'd heartily.

52? God damn that's young. How sad.

DOH!

If he was a hippie doper instead of a right-wing loon he'd have learned to chill out and stuff. Now look at him.
So kids: stop listening to Rush Limbaugh and start smoking weed. You'll thank me later.

FTFA: The newspaper reports a paramedic and a nurse in the crowd tried to survive him.

Revive?

Given how toxic the derp the Tea Party spews can be... well, maybe.

ArkAngel		2012-05-03 06:48:35 PM

I don't understand it. James Coco went mad after 15 minutes

They succeeded in suviving him, as did everyone else in attendence

He's with the Founding Fathers now. Nothing could make him happier.

I'm sure that man is hard working and gainfully employed. He probably saved up for months to afford that Hoveround.

It didn't cost a penny.

No cost. Absolutely no cost to me.

His brain committed suicide.

Thanks Obamacare.

Honestly with all the "keep gubbmint out of mah medicare!" going around, I'm surprised no Tea Party candidate has yet claimed that Obamacare will take away their Hoverounds.

juniperwasting		2012-05-03 09:45:28 PM

I wonder if there is a transcript of his final speech?

Would be interesting to see how much hate and fear preceded this.

Also, 52 is too young, and my thoughts to his family.

meat0918		2012-05-03 09:45:53 PM

Quasar: 52? God damn that's young. How sad.

Yeah, I may not like the Tea Party, but 52 is damn young.

Stress perhaps?

farkityfarker		2012-05-03 09:49:32 PM

Looks like he suffered the same fate as he wants Americans without health care to suffer.

Eh, stroke tends to run in families; I'm afraid that's how I'll go. My grandpa died at 54 from a stroke.

Well, it was actually cracking his head on the pavement because of the stroke that killed him, but hey ... proximate cause.

Super Chronic		2012-05-03 09:54:38 PM

That probably puts a damper on his election chances.

skullkrusher		2012-05-03 09:55:50 PM

"The newspaper reports a paramedic and a nurse in the crowd tried to survive him."

but they died of massive coronaries right before he keeled over?

Gyrfalcon		2012-05-03 09:57:39 PM

Wasn't this already a "1000 Ways to Die" episode?

Lackofname		2012-05-03 09:59:48 PM

Obama's at fault for this. He likely had the CIA spike this guy's food.

Somehow. He must be.

quatchi		2012-05-03 09:59:59 PM

RIP Bebe Rebozo.

/Hot like a smorgasbord.

You must have overlooked the tag on this story.

juniperwasting: I wonder if there is a transcript of his final speech?

"We have to fight socialist Obamacare or else our freedoms and.....and freedom.....and......AAAAARGGGH".

That's from his prepared speech.

(well if he were dying he wouldn't bother to carve "aaaaaarrrgh". He'd just say it.)
(that's what's in the notes)

Geeze, these guys take their politics seriously.

Speaking as a 51-year old, bless your heart.

Vodka Zombie: "Before these uneducated, racist yokels, in this restaurant, this den of spores, parasites, and e-Coli, I ALONE AM KING!!!"

I had no idea he was speaking at a OWS gathering.

You know, the ones with anti-Semitic signs, who don't know anything, and end up suffering from disease and lice.

Guntram Shatterhand		2012-05-03 10:14:00 PM

"And that's why God didn't make the Democrats!"

"But sir, if God made everything in the universe, and the Democrats exist...then didn't God make Democrats?"

*THUMP*

To be fair, he was no man, but more of a remorseless eating machine. Fairly warned be thee says I.

I didn't know that Christian Scientists were a major presence at OWS gatherings.

Being against the US's support for Israel's war against the Palestinians is not the same as hating Jews.

I have a feeling that room was full of fit, vital, good-looking people wearing various t-shirts, hoodies, etc., demonstrating their status as alumni of prestigious colleges and universities.

in Florida? Real classy to wish death on people you disagree with

Revive?

They tried to get into his will, like right when he mentioned that he smelled burned toast.
