      That's Phase 2. Phase 1 is giving the Statue of Liberty a giant sign that says "NO FATTIES."

      There's no clause that mentions the obese but there is a clause which makes appearing before death panels mandatory for the willfully ignorant.

      They are actually going to continue with this euthanasia nonsense LOL. By the end of the week I am sure their list will grow to include folks who snore and those with outie bellybuttons.

      Mr. Baker should be ashamed of himself talking in such terms about Rush Limbaugh!

      In all seriousness... it sounds to me like Mr. Bakers is under the impression that most of his listeners must be fat over weight people who should just be afraid of that which can help them and instead does not take his microphone to push the idea that this new health care bill could be an incentive to go out and get healthy??

      Mr. Baker... why do you hate your fellow Americans so much??

      They were debunked before, so now they are trying a different angle. With most Americans packing on the pounds, they figure they will scare the heavy with threats of getting thin or dying, which is exactly what will happen if they do not lose the weight, but I guess the GOP don't care about that fact...

      I'm surprised Dr. Kevorkian has not made an appearance before this, to be honest.

      Mr. Baker, I know you're just trying to fill Mr. Beck's clown shoes, but really, you just don't have the patter down smoothly enough yet. It's a little too much clown, and not enough rodeo. You might try some crocodile tears to temper the poutrage that seems to come naturally to you.

      People who are overweight or obese, in a sane world, would be paying higher premiums because every last bit of health science shows that being overweight brings all kinds of immediate and longlasting health problems. We're trying to control costs here, you nitwit. We currently pour half of our health insurance money down the drain, and get bad results for it.

      Slightly OT, but I had a thought that, at the far end of parking lots, way out where employees usually park, we could have 'obese parking' spots. That way, if your doctor wants you to lose weight, you have to park far away from the store, and walk that extra fifty yards to get inside. Sort of the antithesis of handicapped parking spots, I suppose. How funny would that be?

        Considering the number of 100+ kg people (yes, I'm using metric measurements.. must be a Marxist!) I've seen parked in handicapped spaces, either with or without placards, the idea of having 'fattie' spots sounds good.

      Chris Baker is another one of these low rent hate and fear mongers like Jim Quinn. Baker has a very small audience comprised of mind numbed robots with closed minds who's ability to think and make rational decisions has been leached out of them. They believe anything that they are told, and the possibilty that they are being lied to is impossible because they have been led to believe otherwise.

      Baker will never have anything to worry about. When it comes to thinking, he's a real lightweight.

      If a bartender can refuse to serve alcohol to someone who has had too much to drink, can a McDonalds/Burger King employee refuse to sell food to someone who is too fat?

        Maybe if they were paid enough for thoughtful discretion, but they're not, of course.

      Talk show hosts obviously never hire substitutes with superior talents, and in Beck's case the contrast is stark indeed.
