With the Democrats getting slaughtered -- or should I say, "receiving mandatory end-of-life counseling" -- in the debate over national health care, the Obama administration has decided to change the subject by indicting CIA interrogators for talking tough to three of the world's leading Muslim terrorists.
Had I been asked, I would have advised them against reinforcing the idea that Democrats are hysterical bed-wetters who can't be trusted with national defense while also reminding people of the one thing everyone still admires about President George W. Bush.
This is how loony the right wing is, folks. They can't just stick to the subject and make stuff up about that. No, they have to make things up about "liberals" or "Democrats" and try to smear us before they even get into their main argument.
There's actually a strategy of sorts to this type of rant. See, people like Coulter are preaching to the choir, and the choir is largely on the verge of cerebral atrophy. These people don't think. But to the average right winger, the mere appearance of such statements in print makes it credible, and gives them cause to repeat it, even if its complete and utter crap. In other words, Coulter is trying to kill three birds with one stone.
The Democrats aren't getting slaughtered. Do you know how I know about that? Because they have to lie their asses off to make their point. Since when does a winner have to lie to get their point across?
No one has "indicted" any CIA interrogators; an investigation has been ordered, and that is all. And if the Obama Administration was trying to use Eric Holder's decision to investigate to deflect attention away from health care, they picked a strange day to do so; the Friday before he went on vacation, while Congress was in recess.
And please, no one with IQ above 50 admires George W Bush for anything.
But I guess the Democrats really want to change the subject. Thus, here is Part 2 in our series of liberal lies about national health care.
(6) There will be no rationing under national health care.
Anyone who says that is a liar. And all Democrats are saying it. (Hey, look -- I have two-thirds of a syllogism!)
I'll say it; there will be far less "rationing" of basic, necessary health care under the current health care reform plan than there is now. But she's lying when she says that liberals say there will be no "rationing" under health insurance reform. And she will actually unwittingly prove it for me.
Like I said, cognitive dissonance is part of the wingnut DNA.
Apparently, promising to cut costs by having a panel of Washington bureaucrats (for short, "The Death Panel") deny medical treatment wasn't a popular idea with most Americans. So liberals started claiming that they are going to cover an additional 47 million uninsured Americans and cut costs ... without ever denying a single medical treatment!
Stop there. Notice how she's defining "rationing." If that's the definition of "rationing," then every insurance plan that denies payment for a boob job or a hangnail removal would be "guilty" of rationing. If a woman has terminal cancer that is advancing through her body, and her insurance denies coverage for a liver transplant, according to little Annie Coulter here, that constitutes "rationing."
So, that proves the status of her argument as an absolute straw man, which is a polite way of saying "lie." I challenge her to cite for me one liberal who has EVER suggested that there would be no rationing under the current health insurance reform bills AS SHE DEFINES IT.
I'm about as pro-health care reform as it gets, as you can tell by this blog, but I would never claim that the public health insurance option would cover every single medical treatment in existence.
What's wrong you idiots tired of attacking Palin and Beck?
You idiot.
You're right! Scabby ol' Annie (winner of the Tom Petty look-alike contest) needs to make a living somehow!What's wrong you idiots tired of attacking Palin and Beck?

No, we have so many targets of conservtive logic vacuums we need to share.

The right wing has been fighting health care for all Americans since Truman tried to get it. But the lemmings still follow along obediently. They lie and distort, they send out talking points to disrupt speakers, they are a vocal minority who hates that fact that the left won the last election. Talking about being a cult follower-------
Please Cut the Crap

If you disagree with liberals, you're a "lemming" or a "cult follower."
If you agree with liberals, you're an independent-minded free thinker.

No you won't gary. It won't happen.
No you won't gary. It won't happen.
Di....i have asked a whole bunch of Pro-NHC people on this board 3 questions and i was either ignored or they danced around it and did not answer the questions.....so...i have concluded that YES.....rationing AND limited coverage will be part of the NHC plan....OR as it is now being called....the public option........

Harry some sort of evidence or at least an argument would be useful. But I've read that health care is already being rationed by your insurance companies. Is that accurate?
