Stay Classy, Tea Baggers

Mar 18, 2010

Some Ohio anti-health care reform demonstrators berate a pro-HCR demonstrator whose sign says he has Parkinson’s.

You can see the expanded cut of the video at Think Progress. At one point, a tea bagger is caught on camera yelling No health care! No health care! Wow, heaven forbid that anyone would get health care!

In other wingnut news — the attorney general of Virginia declared that Virginia will file suit against the federal government if health care reform passes. The last time I know of that a state tried to nullify a federal law, Andy Jackson sent a man-of-war to one of its seaports.

Yesterday a portion of wingnut media, including Fox News, seized on a “survey” attributed to the New England Journal of Medicine that claimed 46 percent of primary care physicians would leave medicine if health care reform passes. It turns out that the New England Journal of Medicine had nothing to do with this. The “survey” was concocted by a physician recruiting firm as a promotional gimmick. The wingnuts have yet to acknowledge they were snookered.

“The wingnuts have yet to acknowledge they were snookered”

Why would they, the headline has already been broadcast, mission accomplished. Do you really think the wing-nut media cares about reliable sources? I saw on media matters that CNN has hired the creator of redstate.hate as a political commentator, yeah that should get them out of last place in the cable wars!

It is too soon after breakfast for this. That fellow repeating “Name one thing Obama has done!” probably wouldn’t listen to a whole list. This is just tactics, not policy. You cannot run a country on tactics. That’s why policy is left up to the adults. I’m glad we elected one. Even if I am not satisfied with the plan, I do know that policy evolves, so I will try to influence that evolution.

After Rush openly mocked Michael J. Fox, what does anyone expect?
Coming next on FOX News spitting on crippled children!
