Later, Bunning flipped the middle finger outside his office in the Senate to those who questioned him about his filibuster.
His and the Republicans' blatant hatred of the American people should not be censored from news broadcasts for being offensive. It must be reported exactly as it happened precisely because it is so offensive. Americans have a right to know when a public servant in our government is so callous, which supersedes broadcasting protocol.
Will it shock viewers? Yes... and it should! It is the duty of the media to accurately inform us of such behavior.
Bunning did not work alone, however, to block passage of a bill to extend unemployment and insurance benefits to the men, women, and children in the families of the unemployed. Other Republican Senators took up this cause and continued the filibuster while he took breaks. This clearly was a planned GOP operation.
We never have to look very far to see examples of Republican contempt for the American people.
Don't like corporate welfare? Republicans have a gesture for you.
Want health care reform? Let Bunning give you the GOP response.
Do you want government to work for regular people? Republicans speak with the same voice on these and other issues: Tough Shit!
So the next time a Republican asks for your vote, tell them what they've been telling America, and return their gesture!
