Montage of health care debate - rightwing/GOP threats:
Why aren't any of the Republicans' amendments repealing "Death Panels"? PROOF that there was no such thing!
Special Commentary by Big Dan: "I have seen enough election cycles to realize that when there's a Republican president and administration, you're 'patriotic' and you should 'obey the government'. And when there's NOT a Republican president, then 'we need to take our country back' and even violence against the government is 'OK' and you're 'patriotic' for NOT obeying the government. I saw it happen when Clinton was president, the same EXACT thing. When the president isn't a Republican, then all laws they make are 'un-Constitutional' and majority doesn't rule and you hear the words 'founding fathers' a lot. When there's a Republican president, all the laws they make are 'good for you', when it's NOT a Republican president, they're 'shoving laws down our throats'. It's the SAME EXACT THING, over and over. But you know what? The same things are said about Republican administrations, even more so, it's just that the people against the government don't get voices in the corporate owned media they want us to think is liberal, so it SEEMS like Americans think it's fascism only when there's not a Republican president and administration. It just SEEMS like it's more crisis when it's not the Republicans in power because of their media monopoly. Turn on your radio and who is on but Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mike Savage, and every rightwinger you can think of. Turn on your TV and who is on but Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, Newt Gingrich, any available Republican even though they're in the minority, and every fringe rightwing lunatic. Pick up your newspaper and did you WON'T see there was an immigration protest in Washington DC last Sunday that had over 200,000 protesters because it received virtually ZERO coverage in the mainstream media. And the day before that? A huge anti-war protest in DC that received virtually ZERO coverage in the 'liberal media' (lol). When Sarah Palin spoke at a Tea Party in February in front of 600 people, THREE CHANNELS CARRIED IT LIVE!!! Folks, there's enough Americans of all stripes angry at all presidents and administrations from BOTH parties, but I think there were far more when Bush was president...but you wouldn't know it from the mainstream corporate owned media that wants us to think they're liberal. Just about everyone I know is FOR the health care bill, and would like it to go even further towards single payer or free health care for all American citizens from birth to death. But you wouldn't think that, watching the mainstream media focusing on a few Tea Partiers and the minority Republican Party. The right has a 'NOISE MACHINE' in place, THEY are always on it calling it 'liberal', THEY OWN it, it's not a 'bunch of liberals' who OWN the mainstream media, and they want us to think it's 'liberal' and not realize the SHAM of the 'liberal media'. It's THEIR media! About five corporations OWN the mainstream media, and the last time I checked, corporations aren't liberal! Republicans and rightwingers are IN THE MINORITY, but the 'NOISE MACHINE', THEIR media they want us to think is 'liberal', makes everyone think they're in the majority at all times even if it isn't true."
Former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum has resigned from the right-wing American Enterprise Institute, Frum announced on his Web site Thursday afternoon -- a move which suggests the conservative movement has cut ties with Frum over the straight talk he has been providing all week.
