Bob points out how FAUXNews does everything but direct it’s angry mobs to where this little girl’s bedroom is. He also had to follow up with more proof that FAUX and it’s conservative zealots are targeting an 11-year old girl and endangering her and her family for merely having an opinion on health care not based in fantasy land.
He also wrote about other instances of conservative stalking of private citizens.
Republicans: if you don’t agree with us, we’ll just tell our angry militia racist types where you live.
Speaking of, here are Republicans in action against the President. This asshole was arrested in Maryland for carrying a sign calling for the deaths of the entire Obama family.
We couldn’t comment on the Bush Twins re-enacting scenes from Girls Gone Wild but your average Rethug can call for the death of the First Family and he’s a Republican Hero&trade.
In LA, we have this traitor who made threats against the White House and then created an eight-hour standoff with police who came to detain him for questioning.
In Michigan, a Rethug county commissioner decided it was proper to carry a swastika sign to their healther protest. Nice touch, racist.
Once again, I find myself agreeing with Paul Krugman, who asks Obama to please stop appeasing theses racist traitors. They have obviously chosen to reject public discourse and merely want to overturn the results of the last election. In short, our government is totally within their rights to cull some of them from the herd and frighten these gun-toting bigots who probably honestly don’t give one damn about health care.
I’m not sure why people keep reporting on how this – and every other Republican theory on health care reform – is utter BS.
Common sense Americans already KNOW the GOP is lying, and has been since at least they said they were “surprised” when 9/11 happened.
As for the anarchic Talibangelical asshats? At this point, God himself couldn’t convince them that they are full of shit.
A nice point-by-point retort of Whole Foods CEO John Mackey’s health care talking points. Basically, sure a lot of people are angry, but the guy made some points based on what he thought was good logic.
Challenging that logic with the bright light of reality is what is needed.
Not that voting with our dollars wouldn’t, but it is better for the guy to know why his sales might be down.
Coverage and opinion from The Chicago Tribune, Nashville Scene, AmericaBlog (plus bonus editorial), and BuzzFlash – whoever they are.
About.com is hosting an article concerning the boycott of Whole Foods and here is the Single Payer Action site’s argument for said boycott.
I keep reading all these opinion articles on how the President and Democrats in general have “gone wrong” on selling health care reform.
Granted, they’ve been behind the ball on getting people organized on their behalf, but is this really a sin?
Paul Krugman had a good article on this recently.
No, if the Democrats have done something wrong, it is mistaking their opposition as being pro-democracy, pro-America, and pro-progress.
Instead, we have a bunch of racists bleating as loudly as possible to silence public discourse. They parrot soundbites fed to them by corporate lobbyists, fringe hate groups, and even churches. Wait? Wasn’t Luke a discipline of Christ? What gives?
They don’t want debate. They do not even want to have their situation improved, as many of them would if health care reform passes.
No, we have public servants on government health care crying about “death panels” and “forced euthanasia”. We have seniors on Medicare bitching about wanting no socialized medicine. We have veterans venting about not offering services to Americans that THEY ALREADY ENJOY.
So fine, someone should give them the courtesy of appealing to their grievances.
Offer every Republican and Blue Dog the chance to opt out of the health care we give Congressmen and Senators.
Allow every senior the option to opt out of Medicare. Give them a flat check of whatever they contributed over the life of their employment, with no interest, and then tax it. And then, make them sign something that states they will never, ever bitch about needing a hand on pain of a $10,000 fine and 90 days in jail per offense.
And don’t even think of asking for any form of public assistance.
Give the VA folks who hate health reform access to rudimentary checkups and preventative care. And that’s it. Every other vet who gets the point will have vastly improved service as a result of their generosity.
As for Social Security, same concept. Here’s a check for the amount you paid in; no interest, and yes, we’re taking our cut for the taxes. Good luck with your golden years as you are basically kissing our ass goodbye.
In short, stop trying to screw the rest of America because you can’t think beyond your Dittohead talking points.
There is a lot of good, honest analysis of the cretins opposing, well, ANYTHING our President is doing, but particularly on health care reform.
In addition, an update to an old anti-Reaganite polemic:
I AM AN AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE SHITHEEL
This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US department of energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like, using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration.
At the appropriate time as regulated by the US Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issed by the Federal Reserve Bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school.
After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to ny house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal’s inspection, and which has not been plundered of all it’s valuables thanks to the local police department.
I then log on to the internet which was developed by the defense advanced research projects administration and post on freerepublic and Fox news forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can’t do anything right.
More crazy, lying BS regarding health care reform from the delusional idiots of the GOP.
How would you like to combat fringe zealot Talibangelical arguments with actual truth. Noam Levey of the Los Angeles Times wrote a pretty good article on the subject. I heard him on Here and Now today (link) and it was a lot of useful info.
Even the government is finally figuring out that someone should call out these idiots and have a Reality Check website.
Howard Dean takes on Sarah Palin’s lies.

In the end though, we have to rely on John Stewart and team to truly confront these fools:

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.

A few health care related ones.
