George Costanza
A Friendly Liberal
Death threats to Congressmen who voted in favor of health care. Is it any wonder? The Right has spent the past four or five months at least, whipping themselves into a frenzy over health care. Every inflammatory exaggeration conceivable to the mind of man has been tossed out by The Republican Noise Machine, designed to anger people and generate hatred toward the implementation of President Obama's health care plan.
And now, the Right says: "Hey, lunatic fringers. They exist in every party, in every group. They don't represent US. Ignore them. We aren't responsible for them."
OH, YES YOU ARE!
Every right wing talk show host in this country who has blathered about "killing old people," "putting people in jail," etc., shares the blame for what is happening now. Every moron who has posted inflammatory, false statements on the Internet about the health care bill shares the blame.
Don't blame this on "lunatic fringers." Blame it on The Republican Noise Machine. Blame it on Fox News. Blame it on the Right in general - without the atmosphere of hatred which has been generated over this issue, by the ENTIRE right wing community, there wouldn't be any death threats now.
