House leaders call noisy disruption of healthcare forums ‘un-American’ – Los Angeles Times

Finally, Nancy Pelosi grows a spine and calls out the healthers.

You know, these bastards called anyone against the Iraq War a traitor for not falling in line behind Bush and blindly going to war without at least having a healthy debate as to why we were spending lives and trillions of dollars.

Now? We are looking to improve the lives of tens of millions of Americans and spend trillions to do so and you’d think they’d follow their own meme and just either get in line or out of the way, right? No, they skipped that part. They even skipped the debate part too. They just don’t want to change anything at all.

Obviously they don’t ALL work for the insurance industry. Obviously they are getting just as screwed over as the rest of us.

So what is it? What brings then armed to silence discussion and debate? What causes them to not just interrupt, but impede the course of democracy?

Simple. We have a black President who is using federal dollars to stop corporations from aiding in the deaths of American citizens by weighing human life against profit margins and stock values.

Guess which part of that appeals to the racist core of the GOP?

Fear of Healthcare or Fear of Black People? Introducing the ‘Healthers’

“I think we should come up with a new term for the Healthcare nuts – the ‘Healthers’ in homage to the ‘Birthers’. They are equally as crazy, equally wrong, and at the end of the day, equally racist.”

– Blogger Ben Cohen on the crazy bastards opposing health care reform

A couple of Olbermann gems regarding both the assholes disrupting democracy…and the spineless shitheels who are buckling under to racist dittohead mobs and lobbyist bribes:

Bob Cesca comments on the raving townhall meeting lunatics mentioned above.

Most of these tools are following a corporate lobbyist-written script. More on that here.

At DailyKos, a tongue-in-cheek “surrender” to certain GOP lunatic points, the ones that don’t exist except in their vacant echo chamber skulls.

Check out Howard Dean in this interview on Talk of the Nation.

CNN’s Rick Sanchez is a reckless loon, but he’s OUR reckless loon. Check this out:

Hell, you want to know how much in Bizarro World these “healthers” are? Some asshat “supposedly attacked” at a health care mob rally has a online contribution site to cover his health care costs as he doesn’t have health insurance.

Daily Kos: The Cost of Sotomayor Opposition

According to this poll, GOP support among Latinos is down to 3%, an 11 percent drop from before they went racial on Sonia Sotomayor.

Seeing as they pretty much had a lock on the racist white voters, what could this possibly have gained them? Ideological purity? Racial purity?

Or is just the party being intellectual honest? Face it, they hate Obama because he’s black. They hate health care because, wait, they don’t mind Medicare so that’s not a real issue. It must be because the President is black.

They hate closing Guantanamo because apparently they love torturing brown people. Or maybe just Muslims. You know, unless someone has a better logical reason to provide. Which, given the eight years available to provide such an answer, I doubt there is another one.

They hated Sotomayor because she’s a radical. Wait, no she isn’t. If anything, she’s conservative. So it must be because she’s brown. And a woman.

No, I think I see where this all goes and it’s a dark place. And I really, sincerely hope America wants no part of it.

The Health Care Debate Is Making Me Sick : NPR

The latest from Brian Unger.

Still witty. Still on point.

He’s right. The worst part about this supposed opposition to health care reform is what it says about us as Americans.

There are still some very, very vile pieces of crap who think they deserve the same freedoms you and I enjoy. They don’t. Not if they are going to squander it on racial hatred and lies. And they even still call themselves Christians.

Sure, there may be some who aren’t brainwashed drones who genuinely loathe government of any stripe, but I doubt they are even a tiny percentage of the rabid psychopaths getting lathered up into zealot-filled mobs by the GOP.
