Media Matters: Charting a misleading course on health care — Nothing sends media conservatives off the deep end quite like the issue of health care reform. [ READ MORE ]

They want to kill it – come hell or high water!

The fact that some spineless moderate to liberal pundits have joined in the dance, spraying falsehoods left and right, like drunken imbeciles, doesn’t help Obama’s cause at all.

The late moderator of “Meet The Press,” Tim Russert, was a FAIR man, despite his slight lean to the left. Everyone wanted to be a guest on his show, Republican or Democrat.

His replacement, the humongous behemoth of a man, Mr. David Gregory, is a failure. He will never come “within 100 miles” of Tim Russert’s incisive interrogations of his Sunday guests. Gregory is always ill-prepared — worse than the tiny little weasel at ABC, Clinton protege, Mr. George Stephanopoulos. If he hasn’t done so yet, Stephanopoulos’s ‘This Week” will overtake Gregory’s “Meet the Press” as Sunday’s number one political forum.

Last Sunday, David Gregory did not challenge anti-immigrant weasel Sen. Mitch McConnell’s claim that “according to CBO,” the House Democrats’ health care proposal does not “dramatically … decrease the number of uninsured.” In fact, CBO stated that the committee bill “would yield a significant increase in the number of Americans with health insurance.” [ READ MORE ]

Wallace brings up specter of “rationing“; Orszag notes that insurers, politicians already making health care decisions

CBS News’ Harry Smith misrepresented the House Democrats’ health care reform proposal, saying that one idea to fund the bill will result in “putting a very tough tax on small business owners.” In fact, businesses with annual payrolls of less than $250,000 would not face a penalty for failing to providing health insurance.

CBS’ Smith advanced falsehood that Dems are taxing small businesses to fund health bill

On the July 16 edition of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity falsely claimed that during Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation hearing, Al Franken talked about Perry Mason “instead” of questioning Sotomayor about her “judicial philosophy.” In fact, Franken asked Sotomayor numerous questions about her “judicial philosophy.” [ READ MORE ]

Hannity, the SICKEST MFER ON CABLE-TV, smears Franken, falsely alleging he asked Sotomayor about Perry Mason “instead” of “her judicial philosophy”

BIGOT Buchanan falsely suggests Sotomayor has “never written” law review articles

BIGOT Pat Buchanan claimed that Sonia Sotomayor has “never written anything that I’ve read in terms of a law review article or a major book or something like that on the law.” In fact, Sotomayor has published several law review articles. [ READ MORE ]

Breitbart claims card check would “play to the narrative that this is an Illinois-style thugocracy”

Asked by Kilmeade about “rationing,” Breitbart invokes “Canada” and “how bad it is,” calls reform “socialism”

Mika Brzezinski compares “Obamacare” debate to “gun to your head feeling” invoked to pass stimulus

Note: Mika who is not a ReTHUGlican, occasionally shows flashes of brilliance like her father Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski, but she has “ZERO Cajones,” when it comes to “woman-handling” her co-host at “Morning Joe,” ReTHUGlican Joe Scarborough, a lying sack of Dog Mess.

Fox’s Banderas(Hispanic Auntie-Tom AIR-HEAD) asks guests: “Are you saying the White House wants to basically wipe out the CIA?”

Days after Pilgrim answered them, Dobbs claims Obama birth certificate “questions won’t go away” Oh Yeah, Mr. INDEPENDENT RACIST!

While President Obama was shooting hoops with the Lady Huskies, Michael Steele was busy agreeing with a radio caller that Obama “is the magic Negro.” We recall (Via ThinkProgress.com) that — during the January campaign for chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele slammed his opponent Chip Saltsman’s distribution of a CD with a song called “Barack the Magic Negro.” “It doesn’t help at all,” Steele said.

“Absolutely, it reinforces a negative stereotype of the party.” However, while hosting Bill Bennett’s radio show yesterday, Steele laughed when a caller called Obama the “magic negro” and seemingly agreed with the characterization.

Steele’s reversal is characteristic of his flip-flop-somersault tenure as the head of the RNC — the HOUSE NEGRO just doesn’t know how to serve his master…….and they are already grumbling.

It will not be too long before they kick this boot-licking, bamboozling Uncle-Tom’s ass back to the COTTON-PICKING fields — and guess what?, Mr. Steele won’t even take offense — he will butt-lick the ReTHUGlican ASS even harder!

Fox News asks “[W]ho is behind the biggest money scam ever” — Bernie Madoff or President Obama?

He tried to buy himself the presidency in 1996 and 2000 — and failed.

A typical one-issue ReTHUGlican, like the anti-immigrant GOON Tom Tancredo, Forbes entered the Republican primaries for President of the United States in 1996 and 2000, primarily running on a campaign to establish a flat income tax.

In his recent political career, Forbes became a member of the board of directors of the right-wing group FreedomWorks.

He is also a member of the board of trustees of another right-wing organization, the Heritage Foundation, the center for the proliferation of ‘GOD and RACISM‘.

Forbes is a frequent guest at the right-wing DUNG-HOLE — overflowing with NEO-NAZIs, KKK RATS and PROSTITUTE SNAKES — Fox News a.k.a America’s News SCAM!.

From MediaMatters: Like O’Reilly, Hannity misrepresented Obama remark to falsely claim he made a “campaign promise” to allow “no earmarks“

On the March 6 edition of his Fox News program, Sean Hannity falsely claimed that President Obama made a “campaign promise” to allow “no earmarks.” As purported evidence, Hannity aired several clips of Obama referring to earmarks, including a January 6 clip of Obama stating his desire to “ban all earmarks” from the economic recovery package, which Hannity, like Fox News colleague Bill O’Reilly, misrepresented to claim Obama was breaking his word by signing the omnibus appropriations bill.

After purporting to “go to the videotape” and “show the audience at home” Obama’s “campaign promise” of “no earmarks,” Hannity aired a number of clips from the 2008 presidential campaign in order to claim that Obama was breaking his promise of “no earmarks,” when, in fact, in three of the clips, Obama was referring to reforming the earmark process, and in a fourth, he was asserting that an opponent was being hypocritical for taking earmarks and then advocating against them. In the fifth clip, which was actually taken from a January 6 media availability — not during the presidential campaign as Hannity suggested — Obama stated: “We are gonna ban all earmarks — the process by which individual members insert pet projects without review.” However, Obama was referring to his desire to “ban all earmarks” from his “recovery and reinvestment plan,” which he specifically distinguished from “the overall budget process.” — [ MORE ]

….meanwhile FAT Limbaugh wished Sir Edward Kennedy Death. Said Limbaugh on health care legislation: “Before it’s all over, it’ll be called the Ted Kennedy memorial health care bill”

Limbaugh should know that at “400 pounds” — he is a walking heart-attack, waiting to happen! But, I bet NAZI hate-mongers do think they are immortal!

Rush’s fellow ReTHUGlican David Frum, a former special assistant to WAR CRIMINAL Bush — describes Limbaugh current JUMBO DANCE: “…..A man who is aggressive and bombastic, cutting and sarcastic, who dismisses the concerned citizens in network news focus groups as “losers.” With his private plane and his cigars, his history of drug dependency and his personal bulk, not to mention his tangled marital history, Rush is a walking stereotype of self-indulgence — exactly the image that Barack Obama most wants to affix to our philosophy and our party. And we’re cooperating! Those images of crowds of CPACers cheering Rush’s every rancorous word — we’ll be seeing them rebroadcast for a long time.” — [ READ MORE ]

Obama At His Best Intellectually

————————————————————————————————————————————

Obama allies attack GOP leadership — The labor-backed, pro-stimulus group Americans United for Change and the public workers’ union AFSCME are going up with a national cable spot, also airing in Washington D.C., with the sharpest attack yet on Republican leaders in the House and Senate.

Julio the Obama fan

————————————————————————————————————————————

Reference: Roll Over the Republicans — Obama and the Democrats have public opinion on their side and the wolf at the door. Republicans need to get out of the way — or get run over. Republicans are using this debate as a branding opportunity, positioning themselves as careful stewards of the public purse. This is absurd, given their record when they were in charge. It’s also cynical. They know that some kind of stimulus will get passed anyway. If it works, they’ll claim their principled intransigence made the plan better; if it doesn’t, they’ll say, “I told you so.” — [ MORE ]
