Limbaugh retreats to death panels Lie of the Year: "Granny is gonna die"

And if HCR doesn't pass, does Granny live forever????

And that's news?

Here's a little secret Rush, everyone you love, except Dick Cheney is going to die. And even he'll die if we can some day drag him into the sunlight.

Getting a little shrill there, Blimpy? Did they promise you a big bonus if you could stop passage of the bill?

defending the insurance companies is almost as bad as defending goldman. I wish it was a government takeover. Why should the insurance companies who essentially serve as some sort of complicated version of money launderers and make Millions in profits as a result of collecting, stealing for compensation and withholding their costumer's own funds be allowed to stay in business? Unfortunately, rush is a clueless as ever on this point. Obama consistently said throughout the campaign and the process that single-payer was not even a feasible option for some reason. It never even really entered the debate at all he took it off the table so fast. They couldnt even use it as leverage. And meanwhile the insurance cartels, who will suck this country dry if they banks don't first, are continuing their money laundering scheme with the full endorsement of the US government who will now act as the enforcers of this mafia that continues to abuse and literally murder thousands of americans each year.

And their reward? Millions of new customers to abuse. Just think about the service insurance provides us? Is it not any different than some elaborate version of fraud. They collect money from customers every month for years and when expected to pay it back, fought and claw and use every possible course to keep the customers money as their profits which are spent on their salaries. And yet, they dont do jack - customers could just as easily put premiums in a pillow case and it would likely be more helpful than buying into an individual COBRA plan. Employer plans give the customer a little more leverage but the industry still uses their mame and kill their customers technique to horde their ludicrous profits. If anything, CEOs should be making 200 grand TOPS. They are neither smart nor innovative, they are just manipulative, dishonest, have large sums of customers money to lobby and remain immune to any semblance of compassion or empathy. They are in fact the DEATH PANELS that come between you and your doctor and with surprising ease and detachment will send you straight to your grave.

Well as long as grandpa survives

I love how the right is suddenly the champion of Medicare.

My theory: Rush is jealous that SPalin achieved this coveted award (Lie of the Year) and wants to take the credit for it.

Or, conversely: "Arf-arf, bow-wow, woof-woof-woof".

The crazies are going all-in on this one. They will spew every single lie that they have been spewing for the past year just to prove that they can sway the legislation. They have to do it . . . if they don't, they'll lose cred with the people who believe their crap.

Conservatism, my A**. It's egotism, plain and simple.

Perhaps we're 'misunderstanding' this. You see, Granny got run over by a reindeer, so this is also part of the War On Christmas[TM]
