  1. Well, the kumbaya moment is over, e-hubby! The health care debate is hijacked, and you can point fingers all you like but the problem remains. People are telling outrageous lies (euthanasia for seniors, death panels- please get a grip!), screaming down people trying to give them information, going to town hall meetings carrying guns (Yes- today in NH to a town Hall meeting Obama was going to attend) and then we have the likes of Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh among many others in the Republican right calling the duly elected Presidnet of the United States a Nazi, making horribly racist comments about him and his wife- and yet you and Legion seem to think it’s all to the good.

    Denton is not just telling an anecdotal story. Its all over the news and you can clearly see the evidence in videos. today there was a video and some a**hole is carrying a picture of Obama with a moustache painted on it to make him look like Hitler. That’s disgusting on so many levels- and I’ll tell anyone, you want to talk about Hitler? You have no F*cking idea who Hitler was if you think to equate Obama with him. All they are doing is using smoke and mirrors to obscure the real facts and issues. Whereas when Bush was in office we had to scream to expose the facts and issues. Its a huge difference.

  2. Agree ENY – we are commenting on a blog, people likely find that incomprehensible too.

    About the health care town halls: a lot of these people see it, rightly or wrongly, as payback tit-for-tat for various marches in the past 20 years – Sharpton’s rallies, etc. “They do it, why can’t we?” is the feeling.

    The argument that they are conservatives wanting to save money – admirable position – is pretty weakened by Bush’s freedom from mockery from the same quarters. If you folowed Republican dialogue over the past 8 years, Bush got criticized, but never very loudly.

    All in all, politicians never change, they are poison. We need campaign spending limits.
