Quote:‘ANTI-OBAMA’ DINER OWNER WHO HATES WELFARE RECIPIENTS CONVICTED OF WELFARE FRAUD
I know that you righty keyboard commandos love your videos and posts that liken liberals to vermin, but take a break from that mindless sh*t and take a look at one of your own.
A rare, or not so rare, combo of willful ignorance and hypocrisy
Michael Tassone is the owner of the “American Diner” in Liverpool, New York, a small suburb of Syracuse. The diner’s quaint appearance and patriotic name comes with a surprising amount of contempt. Tassone is what you would call the typical American conservative: he lives in fear and hates everything.
His diner’s menu is full of clever plate names like “The Obama Plate,” consisting eggs and toast for $3.69 with a tax of $27. Yes, very clever. He also features the “Anti-Michelle Obama Don’t Tell Me What To Eat Or Feed My Kids Burger.” Lots of effort went into making this diner the perfect place for idiots to eat.
Surrounded by Gadsden flags and signs encouraging open carry of firearms, Tassone has built an atmosphere where anyone who hates the poor, women, minorities and Muslims can gather together to pray and hate together.
As we all know, one of the favorite things for conservatives to get all pissy about is welfare. If you need a hand in this country, expect the common conservative to call you a lazy moocher. That’s what makes this such a satisfying story to tell.
According to Syracuse.com, Tassone and his wife were recently convicted of…wait for it…welfare fraud. By passing fraudulent documents and lying to the government, the couple received Medicaid benefits they weren’t entitled to in the amount of $23,000.
Both received one-year suspended sentences and they were forced to repay the money to the state. Tassone, who says he’s a “target” because of his anti-government themed restaurant, was given five years to repay the fraud back in 2011, a consideration the state was under no obligation to provide.
18. " ... the typical American conservative: he lives in fear and hates everything."
Man, that single sentence captures the essence of it, at least for the vocal conservatives I know among family, friends and co-workers. Some fear and/or hatred is any underlying core of most of their stated positions, when you bother to ask them about it.
21. You just cannot make shit like this up.
Maybe this guy is stupid, but that's like saying conservative 501c3 groups are run by stupid people. American conservatism is grounded in fraud and deceit. This guy is either a grifter or a rube. It's often hard to tell the difference.
