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

GOP Health-SCARE

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 ]

Gregory lets McConnell mischaracterize CBO analysis of health bill’s effect on uninsured

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 ]

Sean KLANnity falsely claims Obama wants Canadian-style health care reform

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 ]

BIGOT Pat Buchanan: “This has been a country built, basically, by white folks”
Correction: On The Backs of African Slaves, you TWIT!

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?”

McLaughlin regular (ILLEGAL BRIT IMMIGRANT) Crowley: At hearing, Sotomayor was “basically Alexander Hamilton in drag”

After previously distorting “wise Latina” quote, Buchanan “the bigot” says, “I don’t know why she didn’t … defend” the comment

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

Tim Russert: Obama has it won!

It’s Time For Hillary To Quit!

“We now know who the Democratic nominee is going to be,” NBC’s Tim Russert declared on MSNBC last evening. The Meet the Press host was referring to Barack Obama, who won a decisive victory over Hillary Rodham Clinton in today’s North Carolina primary and is within just a few percentage points of her in the Indiana vote count.

The network’s Chuck Todd ran through the math and calculated that Obama now leads Clinton in the “popular vote” by about 710,000 — and by 200,000 if the disputed primaries in Florida and Michigan are counted. He also leads by about 160 Democratic convention delegates, Todd said.

Obama, according to Todd, can now make the case “that no matter how you do the math, I’m still ahead.”

The Politico’s Ben Smith reports that Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod said this evening that the campaign is going to spend some time over the next few weeks campaigning in states that will be critical in the fall election. “I don’t think we are doing to spend our time solely in primary states,” Axelrod said. There are six primaries left on the Democratic calender; in West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota.

Barack Obama is 200 delegates away from the nomination, two weeks after a decisive defeat in Pennsylvania. Last night Obama sounded increasingly like he was looking forward to the fall campaign.

In a raucous rally in Raleigh, N.C., he congratulated Clinton on what he said “appears to be” a win in Indiana.

But he told the crowd, “Tonight we stand less than 200 delegates away from winning the Democratic nomination for president of the United States.”

“This primary season may not be over, but when it is, we will have to remember who we are as Democrats,” he said, “because we all agree that at this defining moment in history — a moment when we’re facing two wars, an economy in turmoil, a planet in peril — we can’t afford to give John McCain the chance to serve out George Bush’s third term.”

MEANWHILE: Clinton vowed at a late-night rally in Indianapolis that her campaign would continue at “full speed” — then made an appeal for money to fight on in the face of a fund-raising disadvantage.

Despite the uncertainty of the outcome in Indiana, Clinton staked a claim to victory there.

“Not too long ago, my opponent made a prediction,” she said at the rally, joined by her husband, Bill, his face sunburned after hours spent campaigning in small-town North Carolina, and their daughter, Chelsea. “I would win Pennsylvania, he would win North Carolina and Indiana would be the tie-breaker.

“Well, tonight we’ve come from behind, we’ve broken the tie, and thanks to you it’s full speed on to the White House.”
