"How come we don’t just give Chris Dodd painkillers? Like a handful of them at a time! He can wash it down with Ted Kennedy’s whiskey…!"
Watch:
If I’m not mistaken, that’s attacking two cancer victims in as many sentences. Stay classy, radical right-wing.

this is ugly stuff and I hope this is played far and wide to reveal the real face of the Republican party. Rachel Maddow just did a good piece on the mobs showing up at town halls. John Boehner and the RCCC are chortling over these bullying tactics, but this is dangerous stuff the right wing is playing with.
I am wondering if Billionaires for Bush or some other group will start showing up dressed up in executive suits with signs saying something like “Insurance Company Execs want to thank you for protecting our profit margins”
or “Millionaires against Health Care Reform”
or “Stay the Course”

Loved when the Yes Men did this

National Health Insurance Act Passes
By S. Allende
Published: July 4th, 2009
H.R. 676, the United States National Health Insurance Act, also known as “expanded and improved Medicare for all,” has moved through Congress, and is expected to be signed into law shortly. The legislation provides publicly funded health insurance, with a free choice of health care providers, for every United States citizen and permanent resident.
Doctors operate on a patient who previously would have been denied care.

After the bill passed, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi declared, “We can now proudly say that the United States has caught up with the rest of the developed world in granting all our citizens access to high-quality, comprehensive medical care.”
Prior to the bill’s passage, the U.S. health care system was widely regarded to be in a state of severe crisis. Over 46 million Americans have been without health insurance and another 50 million have been under-insured. Despite spending more money per capita on health care than any other nation, the U.S. has lagged behind many countries in such key health-related categories as life expectancy, infant mortality, and preventable deaths. The Institute of Medicine estimates that in recent years approximately 22,000 people have died annually in the U.S. due to a lack of health insurance. Furthermore, nearly one million Americans, many who have private health insurance plans, have filed for bankruptcy each year because they have been unable to pay medical bills. In recent polls, a clear majority of Americans have said they believe government should guarantee health care for all U.S. residents.
Maybe we could print a “get into heaven” free card if you support health care for all and hand it out at the “just say no” to health care rallies
Dood! It’s Klassy! With a K!
