How the Health Care Debate Goes

Via Think Progress:

Conservatives have strenuously denied that there is any anti-Semitism on display by anti-health reform protesters at town hall meetings nationwide — despite all the evidence to the contrary. Last week, Las Vegas radio station KDWN AM720 sponsored a “contentious” town hall, emceed by conservative morning show host Heidi Harris. At the event, local news stations were interviewing an Israeli man who was praising the “fantastic” “national health care” in Israel. During his remarks, a woman yelled out, “Heil Hitler!” The man stopped, became visibly upset, and exclaimed, “Did you hear this? She say to a Jew, ‘Heil Hitler’! Hear? I’m a Jew! You’re telling me, ‘Heil Hitler’? Shame of you!” After he angrily confronts her, the woman mocks him by making a crying sound to imply he is a whining baby.

To say this is how the debate has turned, well Rick Perlstein would argue, this is how it has always been. I don't know what is more upsetting the woman saying "Heil Hitler" or the man's heartbroken reaction. We shouldn't be shocked by this anymore. Now some would argue that "what about the crazy liberals from the left of leftist conspiracy land?" Both sides have their nuts, but as others have pointed out I don't recall the debate of Social Security having liberals with signs as misinformed nor did they carry assault rifles to Town Halls.

What is even sillier is those screaming government takeover don't even realize they would benefit from a say a public option which would lower their premiums or they benefit already from "gubbament controlled Medicare."

Frank grows in rage, grows in rage, RAAAAAAGGEEE!!! He chucks his computer, picks up the keyboard and smashes ragetastical ninja awesomeness.

WHY DO YOU LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE!? WHY DO WE BOTHER?!! WHAT IS THE POINT OF APPEASING THE GRASSLEY IF THEY WONT VOTE ANYWAYS?!! You know what would keep you in office and in good graces for the people. STOP LETTING THE REPUBLICANS FUGG UP GOOD THINGS! QUIT WORRYING ABOUT THESE NUTJOBS!! MORE CAPS LOCK!!!

It is time for the Dem and those self-righteous Blue Dogs, to forget about the fringe and just grab their balls, put on some Kevlar and get health care reform that will be so good, the nutjobs go back to the bunkers typing about Obama's birth certificate. There is no point in trying to have a discussion with someone as nuts as this lady and those Republicans Senators and Blue Dogs Democrats willing to play nuts like this so they can remain pocketed by the insurance companies. 51 that's all ya need.

Deep breath. Frank turned his slacks into Hulk-like shorts.
