See, this is why when Rachel Maddow wished him a speedy recovery as she did, Dick Cheney, many other liberals were not. It’s mean and probably childish but, many of us just wish that all the wingers would just go and spend some time with Irving Kristol, Bill’s dad who is DEAD! I personally say an impecatory prayer for every Republican member of congress. As I do for everyone who works at fox. Amen!

Glynnis, you are utterly predictable and pathetic. His point was (and I totally agree) is that the Dems always pull in little kids or blind kids (like in NJ) to tell sob stories instead of debating the issue. Like yesterday, the R’s tried to debate actual points in BO’s bill and they are immediately sutt down. I totally sympathize with the plite of the average person, but you can’t make decisions for 300 million and for 1/16 or our total economy on one person’s sob story. It’s muddies the waters.

ps, bring on the predictable accusations of selfishness and cold-heartedness.

Dentures are not covered in any of the health care reform bills…so what was the point of her story?

Roxsteady is talking about killing ‘stupid people’ again.. a bit more carefully though.

Rush also mentioned that Medicaid was supposed to fix this yesterday, and that all these individual situations are being used by the Democrats to shame people into buying into this nonsense instead of talking about the bill.. Beck was curious if Americans have a Right to teeth. And I don’t want anybody paying for MY teeth either, or the applesauce if it comes to that. Ohhhh, Rush is such a monster and the Democrats just want people to have fitted dentures!! Get serious.

@MichelleF:

First, everything that you just said could have been said without the ad hominem attack directed at Glynnis. It was unnecessary and ruins your credibility. We can have a discussion about this without calling people “pathetic”.

Second, these sob stories are part of the debate. You know why? Because they are victims of the current broken system. This is anecdotal evidence that there is a problem. And it’s not “one person’s son story”. There are hundreds of thousands of stories like this, stories like people having to make a decision to either get medical care for a family member or pay for the mortgage.

Actually, I did not see the Republicans get shut down too many times. If anything else, the Democrats really tried to point out that there are points of agreement.

“1/16 or our total economy”

Actually, healthcare takes up a sixth (1/6th) of our economy. Not too sure where you got that statistic.

See, no “predictable accusations of selfishness and cold-heartedness” here.

Dear Stephen Hogan, the ad homonym attack has been perfected here at Mediaite, and calling someone “pathetic” seems rather tame on these pages. I think Dan Abrams likes it that way because it attracts a big crowd and the corkers who write for Mediaite (Tommy Christopher, Glynnis, Rachel, Colby et al) all have little to add to the discussion anyway.

See, no “predictable accusations of selfishness and cold-heartedness” here.

MichelleF I am not sure what world you live but in my world these stories are an every day occurrence in my world. I am not going to accuse you of anything except maybe (like so many others) having your head in the sand. Also let me add that I don’t believe in government give aways but often these people just don’t have ANY options. Yes, I believe in helping people that are less fortunate if they have NO way of helping themselves. Your “sob stories” reference is how you look at these people and I guess that is the difference between us. I don’t see it as a tool and even if that was it didn’t work for you.

I have long believed that Rush, Coulter, Beck and others do not always believe what comes out of their mouths. They are entertainers that make mega bucks for their performance. The only sad thing about that is many people believe what they put out there.

‘Second, these sob stories are part of the debate. You know why? Because they are victims of the current broken system. This is anecdotal evidence that there is a problem.

If the Republicans were CAMPAIGNING like the Democrats using these stories as the impetus to pass their ideas I would be against it just the same.. It is blatantly obvious they are using these stories to make people guilty that they don’t have the same problem so they believe that the Democrats have the best idea. It is absurd and very telling of a politician that does this. Talk about what your bill does, we know there are problems in the system today, as though SOMEDAY THERE WILL NOT BE.

At some point in time, I think we just have to recognize that among the millions of fine people in America, we have a goodly number of cold-hearted, selfish SOB’s. There is no point in any dialogue with them to better America or Americans if it involves reaching out beyond the tips of their noses. What I find more disturbing than the selfishness and self-centeredness is their passion for living in utter denial.

Stephen,
I apologize for the error, I meant 1/6. And my comment regarding Glynnis was spot on. I’m not just talking about this story, but all of hers.

Do you not see that the stories, while very sad, clouse judgement on how to solve the probelm? Let me use a metephore. I’m sure you heard the tragic story of the two little girls who got hit by the train in DC a few days ago. Let’s say they represent the smail group of uninsured and the train full of people represent those who are happy with their current insurance. Now suppose, the only way the train could avoid the 2 girls is to jump the tracks, surely causing mass injury to those on board. Would you do it? Now I’m NOT saying to ignore the 2 girls (which I will be accused of), but how about finding another way to save them without risking the lives of those on the train?

Now, let’s talk about those who are uninsured. Part of those are uninsured by choice, want to spend $$ on others things. Do you think we need a system to give them insurance? Next, illegal aliens. Do you think it’s our responsibility to pay for their insurance? So how many are left. Not a huge # compared to the number of people in the country. Do you think it would be smarter to help that small group instead of disrupting the whole system?

Or course I realized the system needs help and I am NOT advicating doing nothing, but I’m totally against what’s being purposed.

I do think that Rush Limbaugh is one of the biggest boils on the butt of mankind, by the way. He is utterly repulsive and a huge liar.

These sob stories are pointless. You don’t think there will be victims under any sort of Health Care System that’s put in place? Of course there will. They’re just put out there to play with your emotions and make you feel guilty and that if you don’t support it then you’re a bad guy. I mean, if supporters feel so strongly about this why don’t they pay those people’s health care costs themselves?

Nevertheless, it’s nice to see them at least get together and somewhat talk about the issues. Hopefully soon we’ll have some sort of national health care system in place that can reduce cost and cover as many people as possible.

You need to document this Michelle F, and one of your beloved extreme rightist talking heads is not documentation.

For your sake, I am sorry the young girls were not “illegal” aliens. I’m sure you would have been ecstatic.

I mean, if supporters feel so strongly about this why don’t they pay those people’s health care costs themselves?

—

In some sense, we all do through the burdensome emergency room process in public hospital.

In another very real sense, “supporters” do pay through charitable hospitals and direct aid.

It is all much like abortions. You extreme rightists scream about life all the time, yet when it comes to young women who don’t feel as if they have any choice or newborn children, life seems to be a mere inconvenience for all of you. Stop the hypocrisy and just admit you’re all cold-hearted cheapskates.

“Glynnis you are utterly predictable and pathetic”

Says the witch.

Stop generalizing. Not all supporters give their own money to support those who don’t have health insurance. I was also specifically talking about these sob stories and you didn’t even comment on my main point: These sob stories will continue whether or not there will be a national health care system put in place.

And if you read the rest of my post you’d find out that I support a national health care system. In the portion of my post you did quote, I was trying to illustrate the touchy subject of using other people’s money to pay for one side’s health care program. If you’re going to be using everyone’s tax money, then you better make a system that a strong majority of people agree with.

King,
Let me tell you a little something about me. Once I pay my bills and give 10% of my pay to my church, I have very little left over for food each month. So when I go to the store, I stock up on m&c, top ramen, and various other cheap foods, for my sports active son who eats ALOT. So don’t tell me I don’t care about the plight of others.

I have a question for all you libs who think those of us advocating responsibility are totally selfish, how many of the uniinsured do you think have tv’s, cable, go out to eat alot, etc? I’ll wager you the % is fairly high. Do you think the rest of us should cover them. Now before I’m called anything else, I’m agreeing that some people simply can’t do it, and I’m totaly fine with helping them. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve give money that I don’t have to someone that needs it.

There has been many times that I look at what I’m paying for insurance, and say to myself, “what’s the point”. Why not just dump insurance and just pay when I need to go to the doctor. I don’t go much so I would be much cheaper for me. But I don’t do that. For MOST uninsured, it is a CHOICE not to have it. I’m not saying it’s any easy choice, but it is a choice.

(I’m multi-tasking and don’t have time to proofread so please fortive any mistakes)

Actually I wish for their deaths. There’s a difference but, yes I wish death to all who are stupid. I almost got my wish with Limpballs and Cheney and I’m determined to continue until I get it right!

This bill will be fixed in reconciliation and there’s not a damn thing Republicans can do about it. So all of the teabagger will have been for naught! Do you smell that? It’s the smell of defeat once again for the GOP!

rox: “I wish death to all who are stupid”. Wasn’t there something similar to that sentiment going on in the forties somewhere? Give me time, I’ll think of it.

same2u says

Thanks patsy!

There is no need to defend yourself, Michelle, it is a hopeless fight with most of liberal progressives.. it is easier to understand once you realize how much has happened to them to bring them to this point. The ignorance and deception pile up into their heads until resort to nothing but:

“I do think that Rush Limbaugh is one of the biggest boils on the butt of mankind, by the way. He is utterly repulsive and a huge liar.”

“Actually I wish for their deaths.. wish death to all who are stupid.”

Reasoning with someone who rationalizes the irrational is no easy task. But I’m probably a racist, so..

“so what was the point of her story?”

Ms. MacNicol, like Ms. Sklar, used to write for the Huffington Post. They are in no way objective. They are leftists swimming in their own fishbowl, viewing the world thru a distorted lens.

Mediaite’s raison d’etre is to monitor and criticize Fox News and conservative commentators while presenting the veneer of being an neutral site focused on review of media. Mediaite is, in effect, simply another arm of the radical leftists who run the Democratic Party. The fact that the Mediaite writers are not as crude or mean-spirited as those at the Daily Kos or the Huffington Post is by design. While they fully agree with their comrades at those sites, if they were to openly state this, then their charade of being neutral would be exposed as a farce.

This article on Mr. Limbaugh is a good example. While I’m sure hackles were raised among the usual suspects, it is a nothing story. The real story, as reported in Politico yesterday, is that the health conference on Thursday was a public relations stunt by the Democratic leadership with two ends in mind. First, to make the case to the public that the Republicans are responsible for the current legislative gridlock. Second, to provide cover for the what has been the goal of the Democratic leadership all along, i.e., to ram the government takeover of the health industry thru Congress by the reconciliation process.

Meanwhile, Mediaite prefers to report on applesauce.

BTW, I asked Mediaite to write about The Root’s list of American Americans that should be erased from history, but so far, nothing. Color me shocked!

You said ‘color’. That proves it. Racist.

Another BIASED piece of reporting from the AWFUL HACKS here at Mediaite!!1 I am, as usual, DISGUSTED with what I read here – and yet, I keep COMING BACK!!1 Again and again, I read these HIT PIECES against the beautiful Ms. Sarah Palin, the brilliant Glenn Beck, and AMERICA’S ANCHORMAN Rush Limbaugh!!1 And still I keep READING, because I just KNOW if I make enough COMMENTS about how BIASED the bloggers are here and how they are CLEARLY in the tank for the SOCIOFASCISTS, then Dan Abrams will CLEAN HOUSE and replace them all with writers I like!!1 Sure, I could hang out at the Fox Nation all the time, but where’s the FUN in that??!!1 This country was based on a REVOLUTION – and the more we COMPLAIN, the closer we get to a REVOLUTION right here at Mediaite!!1 DOWN with Glynnis, Christopher, Grant, and ALL THE REST OF THEM!!!1

Thanks for pointing that out, Write. The list of words I can’t say is getting too long!

Um, get over it.

@Karl Spensen

I see someone read the tea party “declaration” and decided to do a lame parody,

Good morning, all. I just opened my big baby blues and lo and behold the first thread is this.

I brought it up yesterday, having heard this very same segment on Rush Limbaugh while car pooling for the grand kids. Well, Roxie, if I’m not already on your charming death list I’m absolutely certain that I’ll be on it after today. Not to worry, though, as my kids say “I’m like crab grass, you can’t get rid of me”.

This is the comment I made yesterday on another thread:

Grammie says:
February 25, 2010 at 4:32 pm

Tina, you might be right except for one tale of woe by Louise Slaughter D-NY? among many other less gripping and dramatic stories.

It seems she has a constituent who is so poor and with no insurance has been reduced to using her deceased sister’s dentures that really don’t fit all that well. Not only was it gripping but it that alone should be enough to solve the whole problem however dear Louise desires. After all, she won the DEM Cry Fest Derby!

I swear, she actually related this story b/c I guess she assumes it is worthy of national airtime being followed slavishly by much of the media.

I feel kind of bad though b/c her story didn’t have the desired effect on me. I immediately thought of Eliza Dolittle and her dead Aunt’s straw hat. She was convinced that “those she done lived with done her in” to get that hat. Maybe sisterly love fell short in this case and “she done her in” for her dentures.

If my reaction offends anyone that’s fine with me. A serious reaction to that kind of circus is not in me to give.”

Now, for the record, let me briefly state my personal experience that I speak from.

First, my mother-in-law had several massive strokes six months after I was married and shortly after Medicare was enacted, thank God. My husband had been the sole support of his Mother from the age of 14 (he quit school the day he turned 16 and got two full time jobs) and he/we paid supplemented her Social Security and paid all her medical bills. This was not the worse for her by far but her jaw and mouth was so twisted that even if her dentures fit she wouldn’t have been able to chew. We cared for her at home for ten years and I managed to not only keep her nourished but she also obviously enjoyed mealtime.

If one is willing to give time, energy, effort and imagination to it one can do it without resorting to baby food. That stood me in good stead sometime after she died when my baby had a bike accident and knocked all his permanent front teeth out.

Yes, thank God, we had insurance. The emergency room got a team in and after hours of surgery he faced weeks of straw food only followed by months of ABSOLUTELY no chewing. BTW, according to US law today anybody, much less a child, would have been treated with or without insurance.

We had a lot more personal experiences with the problem and questions facing our nation now.

Shortly after my husband was diagnosed with diabetes and had his first heart attack I was laid off. We took COBRA and when that ended we cashed in every IRA, 401K and CD we owned over several years. We considered, but didn’t, sell our house.

We were absolutely out of cash when my husband had another bout that required two weeks of hospitalization. After he was stabilized I spoke with hospital staff and informed them we could not possibly pay for his care. They made an effort to have him transferred to Charity Hospital but they didn’t have room. The upshot, the private hospital kept him and we never got a bill.

Have to run now..I know you all will be on tenterhooks waiting for the rest of the story but its carpool time and I have to go.

WOW.

Jeffy Bovine (= Jeff Merrill = Olby Sucks) is again barfing mad at his imaginary internet boyfriends.

Jeffy, you paranoid dumbshit. Seek help. Seek professional mental health help.

Or maybe the insurance companies have rejected you because your mental handicap is a congenital condition?

Two, you wish death upon people who disagree with you politically, we’re not surprised.
Three, and this makes you better than Rush, how? Oh that’s right, it’s the same (if not worse), and the only thing that makes you think you’re better is your own ego.

I thought we talked about this Christian… time to grow up, pal.

Ugh. Love being linked to Media Matters, that bastion of honesty and clipping and taking out of context.

If anyone thinks Limbaugh was serious about applesauce then I question your intelligence.

Well, according to olbermann and his few minions, Rush is just a comedian. Therefore, it was just a joke. ;)

Christine – I know what you mean. Shoot, I think anyone who takes Limbaugh seriously at all ought to have their intelligence questioned.

Shut up Jeffy.

STEELE: How is that any different than what was said about George Bush during his presidency? Let’s put it into context here. Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh, the whole thing is entertainment. Yes, it’s incendiary, yes, it’s ugly –

RUSH: Okay, so I am an entertainer, and I have 20 million listeners, 22 million listeners because of my great song-and-dance routines here. Yes, said Michael Steele, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, I’m incendiary, and yes, it’s ugly. Michael Steele, you are head of the RNC. You are not head of the Republican Party. Tens of millions of conservatives and Republicans have nothing to do with the RNC and right now they want nothing to do with it, and when you call them asking them for money, they hang up on you. I hope that changes. I hope the RNC will get its act together. I hope the RNC chairman will realize he’s not a talking head pundit, that he is supposed to be working on the grassroots and rebuilding it, and maybe doing something about our open primary system and fixing it so that Democrats do not nominate our candidates. It’s time, Mr. Steele, for you to go behind the scenes and start doing the work that you were elected to do instead of trying to be some talking head media star, which you’re having a tough time pulling off. I hope you figure out how to run a primary system. But it seems to me that it’s Michael Steele who is off to a shaky start.

MichelleF,
You are so correct… As someone who has to enter homes in these bad areas for emergencies. The first thing I see is their kids mostly neglected of nicer things but a big screen TV in every living room. They will have cigarette cartons laying around the ground along with a booming stereo system in the house and car….. But, Kids and Health Care are last on the list…. Of course unless they need it…. then they crowd the emergency rooms and expect fast service and scream and yell when they have to wait. There kids will see this and will be the exact same as the parents…. its a never ending sad cycle…

Michelle, we are all still waiting for your documentation about the uninisured being uninsured by choice. If you’re just parroting some extreme rightist talking point, as you obviously are, there isn’t much value in your post.

Oma Hawkins, CeCi, people are picking on little Jeff, again. Get your rolling pins and put on billowing skirts. Come running. It might be a good idea to bring a dry pair of pants, too.

King, your comment that I would like it if the girls that got killed were illegal was one of your more disgusting comments, but totally in line with who you are as a person from what I’ve seen.

The percentage of people declining employer-provided benefits because of cost has been rising since 2001, reaching 23% in 2005, the last year for which data are available, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. (Of the other 77% who turned down coverage, most did so because they had insurance through a spouse’s policy.) 23% of the uniinsured 45 mil (according to BO is 10,350,000. Which then leaves about 35,000,00

Via The Atlantic:

Byron York notes that Obama started talking about 30 million uninsured citizens tonight, rather than 47 million “people in this country”. The question is, why? Politicians don’t usually underplay their most dramatic statistic.

I can explain most of it with this table. There were 45,657,000 people without insurance in the 2007 Census estimate. 12,388,000 of those were foreign born, and 9,737,000 were not citizens, leaving 33,269,000. I assume Obama is leaving room to ensure that no one can claim that he is going to cover illegal immigrants (or for that matter, legal ones). But that still leaves 3 million people unaccounted for.

If you subtract the estimated 13 mil from the remaining about 35 mil, you get we are left with about 22 mil who are truly uninsured and need help.

I think most “reasonable)” (this may disqualify you) people would admit that helping the 22 mil get insurace would be MUCH cheaper that doing a whole overhaul fo the system, ending with the complete takeover of the industry, which is by BO’s own admission is the ultimiate goal. (i’ve posted video of this before, but will be glad to do it again, for your benefit). I am in agreement that along with that, we also need tort reform, desperately, and being able to buy across state lines.

As a side note, I’m sure you also think that those in the insurance industry are nothing but greedy pigs, but their profit margin is around 2.2%. What do you think a fair profit margin would be for them? Please keep in mind that NIkes is about 10.3% (pre-tax), and Pepsi’s is about 18.7% (pre-tax) according to Forbes.

King, btw it took me a while because arguing with you isn’t the only think i have to do.

Oma Hawkins: Did you thing that dreary post was going to improve over night? Didn’t Grossemutti tell you: A new day makes not yesterday’s stinky fisch besser smell?

PureBS

Delivering pizza under 30 minutes in mazes of red neck packed trailer parks IS NOT AN EMERGENCY

Well, Michelle, you finally gave us a little to chew on, but why do you assume people declining insurance do so voluntarily? They likely can’t afford it. And, while you, like many rightists, pray every illegal be stricken with some terrible, painful fatal disease, what happens when we have a pandemic and have a large group of residents, many of whom are likely citizens anyway, can’t receive vaccines or treatment? Should we all smear lamb’s blood on our doorposts so the plague passes right over we good, decent, White, God-fearing Americans? There seems to be a whole in your argument. Bigger than Salt Lake.

Sharon

I’m sure you also think that those in the insurance industry are nothing but greedy pigs, but their profit margin is around 2.2%.

And that somehow is an excuse to DENY basic services they agreed to provide under a contract. Right?

Furthermore, if their profit margin is not high enough to stay in business, they ought to GET OUT of business.

King,
So you don’t think their are young people who choose not to be insured because they would rather spend their money on something else?

I would never wish terrible, painful fatal disease on anyone. Unlike some Dems who wished for cheney’s death, like Ed Schultz. I just want people to be here legally (heaven for bid!)

You have read the scriptures right, since you’re always talking about how christlike you are. Do you remember the parable of the fish? Jesus did heal the sick, but expected people to do for themselves. As I’ve stated before, your claims or racism, selfishness, and stupidity leveled at those of on the right by those on this site, have lost ALL their sting. I couldn’t care LESS what you guys think. I know who I am.

Oh and King, what’s your reply as to what you think a fair profit margin would be? You conveniently left that part out. Oh and what % do you think the top 10% should pay to taxes. Please, I really want answers to these ?’s and I’ve never seen a lib give one, they just skate around it.

Ted-
No one obsesses over Limbaugh like the Left. You take him seriously to the point of derangement. I mean shoot, gosh darnit. Of course the intelligence of Olbermann fans and those that take Media Matters seriously cannot be questioned. Those are some rock solid minds.

Sharon

Oh and King, what’s your reply as to what you think a fair profit margin would be? You conveniently left that part out.

That shows how little you know about business and profits.

Depending on what kind of figures are in play, even a 0.5% net profit can be plenty.

In retail, depending on the biz, profits range from 25% to 100%. They are NEVER all across the board. It always depends on merchandise, season, demand, cost, storage costs… so your point of “what a fair profit would be” is absolutely ignorant.

Ah good answer, calling me stupid.

I’ve spent enough time out the libs today. I have funner things to do that don’t make me feel like blowing my brains out.

Well, Michelle, you finally gave us a little to chew on, but why do you assume people declining insurance do so voluntarily? They likely can’t afford it.

And what is your evidence that the reason they don’t have it, is because they can’t afford it. Perhaps it’s because they choose to spend their money elsewhere. Perhaps it’s because they’re young, and feel like they don’t need extensive coverage at the moment. Perhaps it’s because they feel they’ll save more money paying out of pocket, then for insurance.

Clearly, you’re making stuff up again… and you haven’t really thought this out. Back to the drawing board, please.

And, while you, like many rightists, pray every illegal be stricken with some terrible, painful fatal disease…

A flat out lie.

Although, you could direct your contempt at Roxy, who DOES wish that for people he/she disagrees with politically, and has said so… although, you’ve never complained.

… what happens when we have a pandemic and have a large group of residents, many of whom are likely citizens anyway, can’t receive vaccines or treatment?

You are aware that we already have laws that say people must be treated in hospitals, right? So your argument is false… either you’re woefully unaware, or once again making stuff up.

Christine – Comprehension is really a bitch sometimes. No, I don’t take Limbaugh seriously in the least; he’s a clown. It’s people like you who take him seriously. You just got it reversed; understandable in your situation.

Ted ~
I thought about responding but then realized I didn’t care. Enjoy your weekend.

To those of you in the Anti-Limbaugh Brigades: If he is nothing but a clown, or is so stupid that he should be killed along with everyone else who is stupid — then how was he able to so thoroughly and EASILY discredit Obama, Reid, Pelosi, and the other Democrats who participated in that health summit? Either they are really easy targets, or he is smarter than you think.

“I have a question for all you libs who think those of us advocating responsibility are totally selfish, how many of the uniinsured do you think have tv’s, cable, go out to eat alot, etc? I’ll wager you the % is fairly high. Do you think the rest of us should cover them. ”

Damn right!!! And another thing how dare they spend their money on such luxury items as electricity and store bought food. They should buy candle, no not buy but make their own candles and have to hunt for their food. Everyone that wants free healthcare should abide by the Gilligan’s Island rule:

No phone, no lights no motor cars,
Not a single luxury,
Like Robinson Crusoe,
As primative as can be.

I’m an evil right winger and I (gasp) think everyone should have health care. England, for example, has national health care. In England, they also pay higher taxes, have to buy licenses for TVs, and have fifteen dollar a gallon gas. Point is, everything has to be paid for somehow. Asking questions about how universal healthcare would be paid for should not be vilified in all or none terms. The left equates asking questions as being pro-death for the uninsured.

“I’m an evil right winger”

You’re not evil. Annoying by not evil;-)

It’s Dr. Evil, I didn’t spend six years in Evil Medical School to be called “mister,” thank you very much.

You mean I’m not really evil? Excuse me, I need a moment alone.

“You mean I’m not really evil? Excuse me, I need a moment alone.”

Well did you go to Evil Medical School? Or Evil College? Or at least Evil Kindergarten?
