Hollywood & MoveOn.org’s insurance industry-bashing video

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 22, 2009 11:54 AM

Make a note of the Hollywood celebrities featured in this health insurance industry-bashing joint production from MoveOn.org and Will Ferrell, Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde, et al.

No word yet on whether they’ll be making a protest video about the fund-raiser for Nancy Pelosi in Washington, D.C. being hosted by UnitedHealth care lobbyist Steve Elmendorf — or targeting the Washington, D.C. law and lobbying offices of Alston & Bird, where Obama health care advisor Tom Daschle consults for UnitedHealth.

Like I always say:

Corporate Shills for Hope and Change get a pass.

***

Related: MoveOn’s Maryland chapter is holding a mock “funeral” targeting UnitedHealth:

In Maryland, they plan to drive a hearse through downtown Rockville and place a casket at the door of the office of United Health care Insurance Company. They say United is a member of a national organization representing health insurance companies that has spent millions opposing healthcare reform.

No word on whether the procession will head to Pelosi and Daschle’s offices…

    I don’t claim panty waisted lib atheists like to use guns against people. Your heroes like Stalin, Mao, Che, Fidel, Big & Lil Kim, et. al have proven it time and time again throughout the last 100 years.

    I may have said panty waisted libs love to take them away from other citizens and use them against them. There is a bit of a difference there. There is that darned straw man you are so fond of. You must be the Wizard of Oz or something. Or is it the Lion…

    I am sure you are about as gracious as Obama as he spends taxpayer money to buy his ridiculously expensive steaks at White House parties…

    And I NEVER order a steak past medium unless it is for my kids…

    I don’t think you have any idea of:

    1) what the hell you yourself are saying from post to post or even sentence to sentence. It must be those baubles and butterflies; and

    2) what a strawman argument is.

    And I NEVER order a steak past medium unless it is for my kids…

    Well well well, we may have stumbled across a redeeming quality, WE.

    I heart noodles! Just some butter and parsley’s all ya

    You do NOT heart noodles! Nor do you heart yourself.
    No true person of Amish descent would expect butter or parsley on a noodle.

    The fact that you cannot comprehend the written word is ultimately your problem. You demonstrate your utter lack of comprehension on a daily basis.

    I am tired of spelling everything out for you. That you cannot reason for yourself is again your problem.

    Putz!

    I know what, or rather who, “sparkly” refers to, pure. I just didn’t get why you thought that was a reference to KF and not monster thread in general.

    Are these people famous? I only recognize Will Ferrell (never funny) and Lt. Dangle from Reno 911 (kind of funny). Who are the other actors? Reminds me of Chevy Chase and his terribly unfunny attacks on Gerald Ford. Amazing, considering what an easy target Ford was.

    DID YOU KNOW…

    Yesterday there were nationwide protests planned by MoveOn, HCAN and others. They were going to protest many of the big insurance companies.

    By all accounts many of the companies expecting protesters were amazed that nobody showed up.

    yeah… that confused me as well.

    But this whole discussion confused me. I had to stop reading it. It made my brain hurt in a Monty Python sort of way.

    I think it may have started with my post about the size of this font & ‘noodles’ for chap.

    It was downhill from there…

    My apologies to you and anyone else who was confused or offended. There were several references made, mostly by me, to “discourse” of a personal nature from the monster thread which is no longer viewable.
    Chaps seems to be uniquely talented at addressing me in ways that he possibly considers sarcastic but come across to me as very chauvinistic and condescending.

    No spacey, you did not start anything. Chaps and WarEagle were already into a mini flame war. Then Chaps set me off AGAIN.
