From the July 23 edition of Fox News' On the Record with Greta Van Susteren:

Republicans want your mothers to become alchoholics.
Even so, her Journalist's Conscience must haunt her at times.
And, if you don't like government access to your private life, were you this emphatic about it when Cheney bugged the entire nation under the false flag of national security?
I hate to break this to you but, the Obama administration is still doing the warrantless wiretaps and rightfully so.
Electronic medical records contain useful information. A wiretap between conservatives does not.
As for the gov't business in health care? THEY'RE ALREADY IN IT! And private enterprise has failed for over half a century now to provide adequate health care to ALL americans. FAILED. MISEREBALY. You don;t want the gov't involved? Give me an alternative that accomplishes 100% coverage.
I won't hold my breath.
Stop worrying about what they may or may not find out and worry instead about your current insurer looking at your records for some way to deny you care.
I think if he was an average Joe in Canada he'd be dead. And I say this knowing people whose families have dealt with the Canadian system.
Do you think former kkk member, Sen. Byrd would still be alive if he was in Canada? One report I heard was that he spent a month in the hospital. You think these single payer plans in other countries are going to let him sit in the hospital for a month? Ed Koch, former mayor of NYC, spent a month in the hospital with first a (I think quaddruple) bi-pass and then gall bladder surgery. Again, if he were just the average slob, with a single payer plan, he's dead Koch.
Active duty military and all veterans have single-payer healthcare. When was the last time you complained about that?
I'm a veteran and I've never heard ONE SINGLE REPUBLICAN who supports the wars or the troops do so.
P.S. They must be dying by the millions in Canada, England, France, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden...well, I'm tired of typing.
Basically every country ahead of us in healthcare rankings.
P.S. Also about 90% of our allies in the world are socialized medicine or even socialist gov't by Republican standards. Maybe you should stop.
I see what you did there. You should write Letterman's material. You guys like Letterman, right?
please don't demean yourself (further) by stealing Mikey Weiner's material. He might throw a tantrum and post your senior portraits or whatever the hell he likes to threaten.
If Kennedy were a Republican, you'd be bawling your eyes out.
There it is, blue as the sky, rush thinks only rich people should have good health care, and in your own words you agree with him. Elitist...
Absolutely nothing.
Let's hear your Canadian horror stories. This ought to be good.
And don't go passing off some fake story because there'll be questions after.
And Senator Byrd? What the hell? Are you nuts? You don't want to compare Canadian life expectancies with the American stats.
Try thinking for yourself.
Jerks like you would openly celebrate his diagnosis, once again exposing what really is in the heart of all liberals. Nothing but dense, cold stone! What they present on the outside is a LIE.
Well, I think William Kristol's completely killed that one for them. How's *snicker* President Fred Thompson working out?
It's kind of a moral socialism, where everyone is equally bad, if not by practice, then by association. Comes from the concept of original sin, I think.
Getting sick or even dying doesn't make a proven liar into a saint.

Here's a Daily Kos article about his cancer:

So, yes, I deny this. Just because you expect others to sink the the level of the average conservative talking head, fishergirlusmc, does not make it so. I have provided direct links to refute your assertions. Provide links of your own, if you can.
You might want to try a more objective search next time before you start pointing fingers.
Talk about skewing the results. That's like me searching for nasty comments about Walter Cronkite.
Of course people say horrible things every single day on the Internet. But Mortimer (Rush to you) isn't just some anonymous boob (FYI...I freely include myself in the anonymous boob category).
Tell me what horrible things elected Democrats said, members of the evil liberal media said. What did the monster Keith Olbermann say? I only mention Keith because the right is always claiming he says the worst things, so I assume he savaged Mr. Snow.
All I did was visit the URLs for Huffington Post and Daily Kos, type in a search for Tony Snow, and read the article. Then I copied the URL (control c), opened the 'add a comment' window here, and pasted (control v) it in. There, now you know how. I repeat: Where is the evidence that supports your opinion about the hate from the left?
What you say may be true, but I'm going to call you on this one. Who _actually_ said horrible things about Tony Snow on the Daily Kos and Huffington Post? Anonymous people on discussion boards? Did the Daily Kos or Huffington Post actually give a paycheck to someone who said "horrible things" and "cruel things" about Snow after his cancer diagnosis and death?
Meanwhile, you may want to turn your attention to the conservative "Accuracy in Media" website, which couldn't wait for 3 days after Walter Cronkite's death to publish a column on how his "liberal bias" had "disastrous consequences for our nation and the world." Mind you, this wasn't some random person on a discussion forum; this was Cliff Kincaid, a prominent member of the website's staff.
I look forward to your response.
Your simple statement shows the hypocrisy of conservatives. Start by name calling a person who you do not know . Bravo, you do not have a point so resort to trying to demonize the other side.
Cheney = pwned.

Really?
If we were looking to exterminate valid opinion from our media sources, the subrogation of experts with political commentators would be the lethal concoction I would use, too.
