It’s an a-typical move by the democratic party, play the race card when things are not going your way. Here’s what Reid had to say about those that oppose socializing our healthcare system.
“You think you’ve heard these same excuses before, you’re right. When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said, slow down, it’s too early. Let’s wait. Things aren’t bad enough. When women spoke up for the right to speak up, they wanted to vote, some insisted slow down, there will be a better day to do that. The day isn’t quite right. When this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rights to everyone, regardless of the color of their skin, some senators resorted to the same filibuster threats that we hear today.”
One of the 20 finalists in health care video contest run by Barack Obama’s campaign arm features a mural of an America flag splattered with health care graffiti until it’s covered completely by black paint.
“Even though I do not believe we can extend coverage to those who are here illegally, I also don’t simply believe we can simply ignore the fact that our immigration system is broken,” Mr. Obama said Wednesday evening in a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. “That’s why I strongly support making sure folks who are here legally have access to affordable, quality health insurance under this plan, just like everybody else.
Mr. Obama added, “If anything, this debate underscores the necessity of passing comprehensive immigration reform and resolving the issue of 12 million undocumented people living and working in this country once and for all.”
Translation: he wants to give amnesty to the 12 million illegal aliens so they can not only get government provided healthcare, but also, so they can vote for him in 2012.
From a February 11, 2009 “lecture” at the Berkeley Energy & Resources Collaborative (BERC) in Berkeley, CA. Remember, this is an White House OFFICIAL with power over the entire multi-billion dollar “Green Jobs” initiative. This is the same man who endorsed the statement that President Bush “gave troops permission to go down (to New Orleans) and shoot us (black people)” after Katrina. He is now at the highest levels of power, and is targeting Glenn Beck for exposing his true agenda.
It should also be noted that Van Jones is also a 9/11 truther, (defined here). He thinks 9/11 was an inside job. So dear readers, if you voted for that other asshole, this is what you’re getting.
As Connecticut House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk speaks during a budget hearing, two democrats wile away the hours playing solitaire. What the hell, it’s only a $37 billion budget.
On the left is Rep. Barbara Lambert, a freshman Democrat from Milford, CT and on the right is Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, a Bridgeport ,CT Democrat.
Behind them to the right is State Democrat Rep. Russ Morin, checking baseball action on CNN.
I’m stunned and shocked. No, I guess I’m not. Just another dumbass democrat congresswoman.
Communists, Socialists, Marxists.. Call them what you want, but isn’t this starting to scare you? Are these people hell-bent on the destruction of America? If this idiot thinks things are really that nice in Cuba, then she should move her ass over there, post haste.
The “shout downs” organized by the Republican right meet one of the classic definition of “fascist” tactics–defined as using shouting and disruption to deprive the civil and respectful debate of ideas. There is literally no defense to these tactics. I don’t criticize those who feel genuine anger or fear and show up to meetings to express those emotions. But I do call out the tactic of screaming and disrupting a meeting and the fact that this is a systematic tactic by thugs who want to prevent civil discourse, not promote it.
Let’s have the media name names, publish photographs, and do interviews of those responsible for approving, even organizing these techniues. And let’s find an investigative journalist – are there many left – to prove these so-called grassroots shouters are, or are not, being paid.
Ironic, eh? Today the left bussed-in a couple hundred members of several unions, including pipefitters and SEIU union members from points as far away as New York State for the Obamassiah’s event in Wakarusa, Indiana. Conservatives came on their own, around 700 of them. Obama’s Secret Service detail also told Wakarusa town manager Tom Roeder, (a republican), his tickets to the event were being revoked.
Even more ironic is President Bush appointed Davis to serve on the five-member Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board back in 2005. I suppose if you’re a conservative in Davis’ book, you have no civil liberties. And we thought all along that civil liberties are supposed to be freedoms that protect you from the government.
I’ll bet Davis can’t wait until all driver’s licenses contain an RFID chip so he can place operatives with RFID readers at tea party protest to gather names of conservative terrorists.

Architect of Health Care Takeover Attempts to Appease Lap Dogs with ‘Watered Down’ Offer
Washington- As Democrat leaders begin to flail in desperation to revive their flagging healthcare takeover, Baron Hill may have just heard an offer he can’t refuse. Hill and his fellow Blue Dogs have been in negotiations with their party bosses as Nancy Pelosi and Henry Waxman attempt to force their bill to a vote in Congress. Today, Waxman offered Hill a ‘watered-down’ compromise in order to get him on board with his party bosses and leave Indiana families in the rearview mirror. After a morning meeting with House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, Hill and his comrades had plenty to consider:
