Republicans and Medicare: “……Don’t cut Medicare. The reform bills passed by the House and Senate cut Medicare by approximately $500 billion. This is wrong.” So declared Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House, in a recent op-ed article written with John Goodman, the president of the National Center for Policy Analysis.

And irony died.

Now, Mr. Gingrich was just repeating the current party line. Furious denunciations of any effort to seek cost savings in Medicare — death panels! — have been central to Republican efforts to demonize health reform. What’s amazing, however, is that they’re getting away with it.

Why is this amazing? It’s not just the fact that Republicans are now posing as staunch defenders of a program they have hated ever since the days when Ronald Reagan warned that Medicare would destroy America’s freedom. Nor is it even the fact that, as House speaker, Mr. Gingrich personally tried to ram through deep cuts in Medicare — and, in 1995, went so far as to shut down the federal government in an attempt to bully Bill Clinton into accepting those cuts.

“……The bottom line, then, is that the crusade against health reform has relied, crucially, on utter hypocrisy: Republicans who hate Medicare, tried to slash Medicare in the past, and still aim to dismantle the program over time, have been scoring political points by denouncing Obama’s proposals for modest cost savings — savings that are substantially smaller than the spending cuts buried in their own proposals.” And if Democrats don’t get their act together and push the almost-completed reform across the goal line, this breathtaking act of staggering hypocrisy will succeed.” [ READ MORE ]

The ‘IDIOTS‘ at Fox News don’t even know how to lie — even after Rasmussen ‘Fox‘ Reports has cooked up a poll and placed it on the table in front of them. For example, Steve Doocy, the resident Fox Idiot, in criticizing climate change — quoted a poll that added up to [ 120% ] [ Media Matters Analyzes ]

Gretchen Carlson is worse, and definitively holds firm the “myth” that blonds have no brains.

Fox cooks up everything, including the lies Dick Morris, Huckabee and Gingrich excrete from their FAT Bellies every night.

FAT Scott Rasmussen has completely lost ALL credibility. He is nothing but a tool with which the despicable Fox “News” and its Republican goon-operators abuse the airwaves.

Republican State Representative Rob Schaaf of District 028, Missouri, has come up with a filthy bigoted AD that only a Republican can conjure.

The ad is running on you know where –Fox News, the FAIRLY RACIST CHANNEL, and it takes aim at accusations that opponents of President Barack Obama’s healthcare plan are racist. It is sponsored by a new right-wing documentary, I Want Your Money (www.IWantYourMoney.net) and features Rep. Robert Schaaf (R, MO) among others admitting that if opposition to government-sponsored healthcare is racist, then he is racist.

Here is the AD

Here is the “Analysis of The Pathology“

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

This AD is very similar to one of the McCain ADs that aired during their ELECTION HATE-FEST of 2008 — Sinister images of two black men, followed by one of a vulnerable-looking elderly white woman. or George Bush senior’s Willie Horton and Revolving Door ADs.

…and here is The Willie Horton AD

From LivingRoomCandidate.org: The symbolism Willie Horton AD was very powerful…you can’t find a stronger metaphor, intended for racial hatred, in this country than a black man raping a white woman!

This stark and unsettling ad from the Bush campaign didn’t mention the notorious escaped convict William Horton by name. (Although he went by William, the Bush campaign referred to him by the less respectable name “Willie“). However, with its release just a few weeks after the independently financed ad “Willie Horton” had generated controversy and national press coverage, the connection was clear.

Under the direction of campaign manager Roger Ailes, Dukakis was linked with the case of the African American felon who fled Massachusetts during a weekend furlough and and attacked a young white couple in Maryland. Focus groups conducted in Paramus, New Jersey, in May showed a strong emotional reaction to the failed furlough system, and Bush decided to make this a key issue in the campaign, attacking Dukakis in a speech as “a tax-raising liberal who let murderers out of jail.”

In The Revolving Door AD prisoners walk through a turnstile, all looking down to the floor, except for the one black one — a veiled message to “frightened whites:” beware of BLACK CRIMINALS!

Because of their strong imagery and underlying racial message, “Willie Horton” and “Revolving Door” received substantial coverage on TV news programs during the final month of the campaign. “I realized I started a trend,” said Ailes. “Now guys are out there trying to produce commercials for the evening news.” The creator of the “Willie Horton” ad, Floyd Brown, also made attack ads against John Kerry in 2004.

Fox News’ Roger Ailes is a Master Manipulator and Race Baiter

In August 2009, Paul Rosenberg wrote: “Put simply, my argument is that color-blind racism serves as the scaffolding that enables white supremacists-such as Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Newt Gingrich, etc.–to project their racism onto the minority figures whose highly visible success puts the lie to their ideology of white superiority.

Racists have always projected the disowned, loathsome aspects of themselves onto racial others. Now that racism itself has come to be seen as socially unacceptable, it’s only natural, in one sense, that racists should project their racism onto racial others as well-particularly onto individuals whose very existence refutes their worldview. Yet, the functional logic involved cannot dissipate the bizarre aspects of hearing Rush Limbaugh, such a well-confirmed racist, hurl that charge at prominent people of color, and not be roundly condemned as himself being a racist.” [ READ MORE ]

MediaMatters: Saying he knew that this was coming, Rush shared an AP report that the EPA has completed its endangerment finding on carbon dioxide. He then launched into a tirade about the formation of an “underground government” by the formation of several bureaucracies in the current legislation. Rush then complained that this is all possible due to a Supreme Court ruling in 2007. Repeating the tired and inane outrage that carbon dioxide is what we exhale and has been found to be “poison,” Rush then appeared to embrace frivolous lawsuits by offering a strategy to pursue them: [ READ MORE ]

Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., said that Republicans had a lot of very good ideas for health reform. But he failed to mention any, and he said he wasn’t sure it’s a fact that people die for lack of health insurance.

Meanwhile, Sean Hannity — the SYPHILIS at Fox ‘News’ advocated that George W. Bush, the worst war criminal in the 21st century and Bullshit-Artist, be awarded the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, instead of President Obama. Hannity also boasted that his idea of peace is to “[blow an enemy into tiny little pieces]” [ SEE VIDEO BELOW ]
