   Selective outrage matched by selective positive coverage.

   You should have seen Harry Smith this morning on the True/False of Health care reform myths bit.

   One difference is that those yelling at Bush were not egged on by nationally syndicated radio hosts newspaper columnists and major political party office holders, and they were not featured on national tv news stations as heroes afterwords continuously.

   Oddly enough, western Maryland is a haven for the KKK which is of course, an organization founded by a Democrat and historically largely made up and run by Democrats like Byrd, Hollings, etc…

   Frankly, I suspect the guy was a Democrat plant of a Democrat KKK member. Let’s see how the investigation turns out.

   “The Secret Service is investigating a man who authorities said held a sign reading “Death to Obama” outside a town hall meeting on health-care reform in western Maryland.

   The sign also read, “Death to Michelle and her two stupid kids,” referring to the first name of President Barack Obama’s wife, said Washington County Sheriff’s Capt. Peter Lazich.”

   Dimsdale–I heard that imbecile, Smith, this morning too.

   After I cleaned up the rage vomit on the carpet, I asked myself: ‘silly cakes, why do you watch this stuff?’

   Ed Mahmoud–my thoughts always run to a ‘double-secret probation plant’ when something like that happens.

   Much the same way I start wondering where the body is hidden when a ‘mom’ says someone took her child out of the bedroom when the drunk boyfriend was just in the next room…

   Luckily I didn’t see this bit of vomit-inducing agitprop. But I’d like to toss in a comment about what a piece of low-life scum Harry Smith really is.

   The thing about Smith is that he actually has a rather pleasant persona most of the time, which is disarming. But he picks his moments and unloads some of the cheapest shots you will see anywhere in the MSM.

   My feeling is that Smith really is not all that political or even thoughtful. But he has an instinct for the sucker punch that will delight his centrist-lib audience. He never used to miss a chance to show his righteous indignation at “Southern bigotry” or, specifically, at Jesse Helms. Quel courage!

   I’m praying we defeat this ObamaCare bill because once we do we should then turn our sights to news media outlets. They’ve been unchallenged, unscathed and atop that perched in the Ivory Tower for far too long. This madness has to stop.

   Me too, 30, and I’m not very religious. I feel like I’m living my childhood all over again in a college town where the college professors were the unchallenged creme-de-la-creme who looked down on the townies. I feel like these politicians are so out of touch they no longer feel accountable to We The People.

   What is worse is that I no longer feel like my vote counts (I’m an absentee NY voter) or that my voice or any of the people’s voices are being heard. There are elements in our country who hate the rest of us so much that they’d rather try unproven healthcare experiments than listen to reason and learn from current examples like the VA and Tricare.

   I’m in my 30′s and I’m scared. I’m a Tricare beneficiary and I’m treated like crap. Tricare doesn’t value my privacy, nor does it treat my medical records with any kind of discretion or respect. They are prone to fraud and theft. Is this the kind of system these condescending bozos want for everybody but themselves?

   On a sidenote: good luck pursuing your degree! I know you’ve been busy juggling the demands of school, work, and all that. It’s all worth it in the end.

   To quote crazy pants herself, newsflash: Bush isn’t president anymore. If you were outraged then, you should be outraged now.

   I certainly hope you’re not calling our esteemed hostess “crazy pants.” That is not only rude but disrespectful and you know it. You libs want to teach others tolerance why don’t you learn some yourself?

   On another note, who are you to determine when conservatives are outraged and when they’re not? You’ve got a lot of nerve. There are a whole lot more honest Conservatives in regards to Bush then there will ever be liberals in regards to Obummer.

   You have no integrity and as somebody who has criticized the Bush administration (Michelle Malkin) you are barking up the wrong tree. Stick your “outrage regulations” where the sun don’t shine.

    Just keep refusing their services (end subscriptions, change channels, refuse to do business with associations) and they will die of their own momentum. I refuse to watch movies starring Penn, Sarandon, Robbins, Clooney, etc and I do not miss them one iota. It may or may not have an impact but I will NOT support those who are my enemy.

    My sentaments exactly, if I need to be entertained by unAmerican elitist, socialist, actors I feel my values are no more correct than theirs. Obviously I don’t watch many movies anymore. Oh and their is a list of left wing Hollywood actors that is 10 time the number of conservative, our pickens are slim in comparison but I will not put money in the enemies pocket, if nothing else I feel good about it.

    So when will the Chronicle correct this? They specifically called her a pediatric primary care physician without checking it out.

    I would be glad for the Chronicle to act as “truth squad”. They could run a headline:

    ??? not a pediatrician. Palin “Death Panel” false — she supported end of life counseling as recently as April of this year.

    They could follow up with:

    Democratic Congressmen receive death threats over health care legislation.

    Analysis: Medicare has less overhead than private insurance

    Analysis: private health insurance contracts with hundreds of pages of legally binding fine print limit expensive treatments for the elderly

    Funny how lgm doesn’t seem to know the difference between a contract between a company and a person and THE ONLY OPTION AVAILABLE FROM THE GOVERNMENT.

    If you don’t like your private health insurance why you could CHANGE IT. Or buy a supplemental policy. But you can’t choose those options under OBAMACARE!

    I have been treated in US military hospitals and in Russian hospitals. Let me tell you I know what the future holds for socialized medicine. By the time our kids and grandkids need medical care it will make Soviet era medical care look like paradise. Of course, I am sure lgm goes down to Cuba for his checkups.

    Not to belabor the point, I’m sure all on here are reacting with emotion to lgm’s ignorant comments when you tell him to leave, go back under your rock or bridge. If you really don’t want to see his remarks don’t reply…he will stick around for awhile, no one replies he’ll feel left out like he must in his must in most of his life, then he’ll disappear and come back with some other id, but think of the temporary relief.

    How juvenile. And how distracting. Meanwhile, unnoticed by the adolescent, pointless finger-pointing being done here (not to mention the hypocrisy of doing what you’ve condemned for years and years) there’s a real, important story with the potential to kneecap nationalized health care from both sides at once that is being studiously ignored, probably because of it’s source.

    Grow up.

    I have many times been tempted to make the same suggestion in how to handle the attention-seeking drivel from this loser, not that anyone here is really unaware of the best way to handle trolls.

    I held back, because you’re not ignoring someone when you start a discussion about the need to ignore them. Sometimes, though, the discussion needs to be had so I am happy to chip in here.

    So many times I have seem this creep become the focus of threads, and it does real damage to the forum. I don’t ever expect to speak to the troll again so I offer here my final farewell:

    Hey, lgm, drop dead you jagoff. -30-

    The “public options” is not mandatory. There should be as many options after reform as there are now.

    Not true for most people, those who get health care through work. They are stuck with the provider the employer chooses.

    This is waaayyy OT but from Fox news:

    Some Auto Dealers Still Await Reimbursement From Uncle Sam Despite Refueled Clunkers
    Auto dealers across the country are reporting that reimbursement issues continue to stall the wildly popular incentives program.

    I told my husband before the 2 billion was approved, that these car dealers will be left holding the bag for the $4500 cash for each clunker. I guess if you live long enough, nothing will surprise you. This is the Obama way. Empty head, empty suit, empty promises…

    Problem solved!!! I’ll just inform my employer that they shouldn’t be going through Kaiser Permanente and that they should pick someone with lower premiums. And then after that, I’ll ask for a raise. And a company car. And a date with the boss’ daughter.

    Exactly, swede. But you cannot PROVE the public option will wipe out private insurance.

    Reality is too complex to always be able to PROVE what is obvious to common sense. Until it is too late. The party of lawyers and race mongers and redistribution and the ‘living constitution’ perversion count on that fact.
