      Kilmeade is such a Buffoon.
      He shoud apply for a Job on a Cartoon.
      I wish he could just be blown away by a Monsoon.
      Both of these ideas couldn't happen to Soon.

      Speak truth to power.

        He should apply for a job on a cartoon
        He is a cartoon. Pull up a picture of Porky Pig. He has the very same beady little eyes and the same exact eye brows. Okay, I should be ashamed of myself but when he said Americans aren't pure, they keep mixing with other species, I thought yeah and your other species is Porky Pig, simpleton.

      I can hear "The Imperial March" playing as they enter the dark room to face the sinister panel.

      Where do these idiots come up with this stuff?!

      No, no, no folks, this IS TRUE. The health care bill DOES call for "death panels".

      I saw it on YouTube and heard it from Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann, 2 elected policians in America.

      So it MUST be true!

      This is an indicator of the rot within our political system. One of the two major parties has set up expensive think tanks, which, instead of coming up with clever solutions to the nation's problems, spend their time and resources fabricating bullsh*t talking points like this to frighten their knuckledragging base.

      I just wonder, how much did the GOP spend to come up with "Death Panels"? Or maybe they got it free from a room full of pimply-faced FOX interns... who knows?

        The GOP's clever solution to our nation's problems is to deny the existence of such problems and chant "USA! USA!" to drown out anyone who tries to suggest that maybe we could do things a little better. And to call anyone who criticizes anything about our country Fascists, or Socialists, or French, or all of the above. And to sell them a Support the Troops bumper sticker and urge them to attend a Freedom Concert.

        When forced to admit that things aren't absolutely 100 percent perfect, they say it's because of government regulation, labor unions, and the lack of upper-class tax cuts.

          I wonder what the GOP's would do if thousands of Native Americans showed up at these town hall meetings and screamed "I want my country back." The same meetings they are interrupting with that message.

        Health Care reform= Death Panels.

        Taxes on estates of more than a million dollars= Death Tax.

        Tax cuts for the Middle Class and tax increases for the wealthy= Class Warfare.

        Tax cuts for the Upper Class and stagnant salaries for the Middle Class= Capitalism (Freedom.)

        Working three jobs to support your family= Uniquely American.

        Can't afford health insurance= Go to the Emergency Room.

        Can't afford health insurance and don't have a condition that can be treated in an Emergency room= Die.

      How is that right before Kilmeade regurgetates Sarah Palin's "Death Panel" (he should at least identfied his reference), the Bubble Headed Bleach Blonde was railing against Congress about not reading the bill... if Kilmeade would have read the bill he would have seen the ammendment that was introduced by Republicans that would pay doctors for Living Will consultations... How Living Will's became "Death Panels" is truly a Republican spin invention... one from Sarah Palin, no less.

      Duh... there isn't one bill, there's currently 5 bills in committee... so I'm glad to see that Fox is being being fair and balanced on this...at least they weren't chanting READ THE BILL in unision.

      There is no way to have a reasoned debate on this issue with folks like these stirring up the crazies.

        That's their plan. Reasoned debate might actually lead to a workable solution. The Republicans are only interested in scoring political points by defeating ANY reform bill that comes out of Congress.

      Fox motto is if Palin says it, it must be true. I think all these Fox guys hold up hope to be alone with Palin and maybe they will get lucky :)

      Keep telling the people a big lie, over and over again and they'll believe it. So-called conservatives who buy into these tactics, or who even turn a blind eue to it, are as evil as the people who tell the lies.

      Perhaps it is that they lack creativity, Kilmeade in particular. I'm waiting for the first news report of a conservative family somewhere that killed off the grandparents so that the gummint couldn't git 'em. At this point, I fear it's only a matter of time.

      Kilmeade, there is no such 'death panel' in the proposed bill. I've downloaded and read the text. You only point out your laziness and ignorance by parroting Sarah Palin talking points. Are you going to quit your job at FOX so you can fight to inform the public on TV?

      You are a f-ng idiot Kilmeade. There is no bill to read right now. There are 12 bills being crafted. the administration will decide which aspects of the 12 they like most and that will be the bill. Kilmeade needs to go back to doing sports becasue I think anything other than that is too sophisticated for him.
