The other right-wing media mogul you should worry about

Isn't he gonna' be on Rush again soon?
There was a time (before 1/20/00) when these freaks of nature were nothing more than an unhinged fringe of lunatics that could easily be ignored!
I encourage everyone to read a rational plea on a potential health-care fix. This is a letter from radio host and all around good guy, Thom Hartmann to president Obama ---> Here
You did mean to type "prayer" instead of "payer" right?
I'm sure that's the only kind of heath care reform that the Republicans would support.
That's the beauty and simplification of combining Medicare and Medicaid and then expanding them for all, it is in a word... universal health-care coverage! and are an already existing bureaucracy, that nearly everyone that is on it, has few if any complaints about it.
At this point I think it is safe to say that the very decent idea of a public option has been ruined by the right-wing schlubs. Since it appears that at every town-hall, the people are asked whether they are on Medicare, most of those people raise their hands, yes.
So by doing this, would most certainly take nearly the entire fight away from the right-wing attack dogs, like those over at Fox and certain drug addled gas bags, and the other various ignorant folk!
Whether the cost is paid for through taxes or a certain amount out of each of our paychecks per week, in the end, it is still a tax anyways, and is going to be paid by us 'mythical' little people. As I fully expect corporations and several scumbag millionaires and billionaires to use every loophole possible to keep from paying a fair share of the burden, as they have always done.
Huckabush is currently doing his best to bring health reform issues, and any other issue, to an end game time.
I'm sure the man paid the full price for everything medical, never excepted the free healthcare....
Of coruse as he is a High School drop-out, maybe he isnt smart enough to know that Canada and Britian have socialized medicine.
He's a smart man; I'm not sure why he hasn't picked up the obvious lesson yet. I got a fundraising letter in the mail under President Obama's name last week. It had a picture and was stamped "DO NOT BEND". If he wants any more of my money, he'll need to start taking his own advice more often.
NPR interviewed a Surgeon from Britain this morning, and... SURPRISE... the Republicans have been lying to us about Britain's Healthcare system. He point blank refuted two of the most popular myths; that dying old people like Ted Kennedy would not receive care, and that there is a cap on the expenses you are allowed to incur. He said both were outright lies.
So, who are you going to believe... a British Doctor or an American Troglodyte?
them britishians talk funny, no believe them

... In Jewish World Review, Steyn argues "Multiculturalism means that the worst attributes of Muslim culture - the subjugation of women - combine with the worst attributes of Western culture - licence and self-gratification." He states, "I am not a racist, only a culturist. I believe Western culture - rule of law, universal suffrage - is preferable to Arab culture."
