Liars

There are like a thousand lies going around in the punditsphere these days regarding health care reform. Let's have a look at one now. They're saying that there is no public support for health care reform. They're saying that nobody has protested in support of health care reform. Not true. Or don't we count May 2009, when doctors and nurses showed up at the initial hearings, demanding to heard on single payer and were tossed out summarily on their asses? This lady sure was a protestor for single payer. So is this lady. Beside that, such statements, as none other than David Gregarious made this morning on "Meat the Press," give credence to a "protest" "movement" that was largely funded by the insurance industry itself but claimed inexplicably to be "grass roots," that also vigorously promoted and utilized racism regarding the President of the United States, and that also was cheer-led strongly by the ongoing propaganda concern known as Fox "News." It is unfathomable to me that now that the shitty corporate media is bowing to the conventional wisdom that these "protests" had any credence whatsoever. What an incredible load of bullshit. Americans want reform. They just don't want this bullshit.
