      The Statue of Liberty's NO FATTIES sign will feature the phone number for this camp. Very handy.

      The right-wing echo chamber's continuing fixation on ballooning waistlines continues to amuse, especially because I'm a hefty fellow myself and wouldn't mind seeing these guys forced into the town square to do jumping jacks for our amusement.

      I think they've finally found the one thing that'll terrify the base. They should add something about a 400% tax on polyester.

      They couldn't buile enough re-education camps to straighten out Limbaugh's twisted mind. He's damaged beyond repair.

      Weren't we dependent on the Bush Administration for our existence from 9/12/1 to 1/19/9?

      "some reeducation camp if you don't lose weight"

      Hence why Limbaugh has lost weight.
      Then he'll say he was ahead of the curve.

      That is a dumb-A*# analogy. Rush failed to express the role and responsibility of the government. To do so would destroy his fear-mongering assertions. "Redistribution" is used to scare rich white people.
      When Rush says this isn't about "Healthcare" who is he speaking too? He is speaking to the people who he wants to scare, in all actuality Rush is speaking to stupid gullible people who can't decide what is in their best interest, in effect they need to be told. Who could be so dumb as to reject affordable Healtcare from the government, their government?
      Those in government enjoy good healthcare and correct me if I'm wrong by the government is made up of a government "of the people, for the people and by the people". Yet idiots like Rush and Fox News talk show hosts are able to make people believe what is good for the goose is not good for the gander. What fools people are. Rush want Obama to fail, that is what this is all about. Obama want the American people to have access to good healthcare insurance because this is one of the issues he campaigned on. There is nothing cynical about that. When people understand the role of the government no racist bastards can dissaude you from accepting something that is beneficial for you. Rush is going to lead people straight to hell for his own selfish reasons.

      Overweight people tend to have more health problems and having them on the insurance rolls almost certainly makes everyone elses rates go up. I wonder if the insurance industry considers obesity a pre-existing condition?

      Okay, Rush, then what do you call it when, after twenty years of paying insurance premiums out of every paycheck, my insurance company drops me when I'm diagnosed with cancer? Is that not power? Is that not redistribution of wealth? Did not some insurance company exec just look at me, reduce the whole of my life to dollars and cents, and decide I just wasn't worth it? You tell me, if you dare. You answer that simple rebuttal, if you are able. You fear monger about what may theoretically someday happen, and every year tens of thousands of Americans just like you die from lack of care. Every bit as patriotic as you, every bit as American as you, every bit as worthy as you, but not as wealthy and privileged as you, and so they die.

      You are piling up wealth for yourself on the bodies of dead Americans, and eagerly hoping for more of the same. You vilify and slander those who are trying to help, while you add nothing but hate and fear to public discourse. You are a coward and a liar, and deserve nothing but scorn and ridicule.
