      In 1990, Hillary Clinton was the First Lady of Arkansas, and an attorney at the Rose Law Firm. In 1992, she was the wife of the Presidential candidate, and then President-elect, Bill Clinton. In neither capacity did she have the power to do anything with controlling an industry and to make the charge is laughable.

          I know, it is precisely this ignorance that allows Glenn to get away with his schtick, he keeps throwing mud, knowing that some of it will stick even where it shouldn't.

          How in God's name did they assemble so many brain dead doctors?

          Now we have one more thing to fear, wondering whether our doctors are Beckheads.

            That is a good question to ask. They probably asked doctors who are so far up the colons of the insurance companies or big pharma that they have forgotten what daylight and fresh air are like.

      Freedom means nothing left to lose.

      And Beck is free of credibility.

      Yeah, how did Hillary Clinton take over vaccines? I don't get that.

      Grasping at straws, because that's all they have.

      We used to have a robust 2 party system. Now we have the Democrats and a bunch of losers who couldn't articulate a reasonable conservative platform if you gave them an hour.

        Basically, they're complaining that vaccines are subsidized by the gov't to ensure they stay low-cost, so they can be made available to all as a public health concern.

        So the whiners on the video are boo-hooing about how cheap the vaccines are for low-income folks, and their corporate buddies can't make the profits off them like they want.

        And their blaming Hillary for this unfortunate turn of events.

        Cry babies. {:-(

      Richard Amerling accepts Medicare and Medicaid. He takes gov't money, but doesn't think the rest of us should be covered.

      http://www.docnet.org/physicians/insurance.aspx?physician_id=767&display_name=Richard+Amerling,+MD

      He also claims the gov't bureaucrats AND private insurance clerks will "practice medicine without a license" -- see quote below:

      "There is also the problem of government bureaucrats or private insurance clerks deciding what care you can have. In overriding, changing or denying what your doctor feels you need, they are effectively practicing medicine without a license!"

      Hmmm. Sooooo.... According to this nutcase, his only options are: go with a gov't plan (which he doesn't like), go with a private insurer (which he doesn't like), or only serve the super rich who pays him in "petty cash"?

      In the IT world there are what we sometimes refer to as "users who know just enough to be dangerous". That is, they think they know a lot about computers and technology, but really don't.

      Glenn Beck knows just enough to be dangerous.

        These 'users' are the reason there are limited access accounts in most OSes. (Not that it helps much)

      I plead ignorance but where did they mention Vince Foster? I'm no expert but it seems to me like they're referring to Mrs. Clinton's Vaccines for Children program*. Essentially they're saying you can't have the government buy up all these expensive vaccines at huge discounts and give them away for free. It destroys the original incentive to create these vaccines in the first place.

      i love how he just flat out says thats communism without actually explaining what it is to his audience full of idiots.

      by the way, is there any chance that the doctors he has there werent specifically picked out by him and his staff? do you think they are people that actually think for themselves and dont watch his show 24/7? hell, are some of them even real doctors?
