The Whole Delivery

This just can't happen enough. And McCain says "See ya." What a swell Mavericky, tough question answer he is. And of course, the local newspeople don't have the knowledge to understand how serious and real that man's claims were. They just treated it clearly as, "Oh great, this will be great for the news, an entertaining sound bite that we can easily put on the 10 PM news!" And just for you to know, The Spatula and the Worst Candidate for president in the Nation's history said this crap : Last night, McCain told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that America just “is not ready” for quality “government-run health care.” Well, you can start the McCain 2012 campaign if we want, lol. (Wait, I said LOL in a statement?)

First, Senator nutcase Tom Coburn provides a moment so appalling, that it just had to be seen. And remember, for those who don't know, Coburn has a background as a doctor. Real scary, isn't it?

It seems almost a daily given that Greg Sargent writes a post at his Plumline blog that you find so unbelievably ridiculous that it has to be made up. (Un) Luckily though, in this political reality that we live in, the ridiculous is virtually a main part of the current events of our times. At a health care town hall thrown by little known Republican House member Wally Herger in Redding, California this past weekend (Friday to be exact), read this if you may . As a staunch advocate of no public option (what a surprise indeed), Rep. Herger was certainly receiving accolades from the heavily partisan crowd of skeptical government viewpoints in the town hall. So extreme were these people that the town hall included this fascinating moment that the local paper includes (once again, through via Sargent's post). Herger said the federal government does have a limited role to play in health care noting, “We do lots of things that are not in the Constitution.” “There are things we can do wit...

Just watch the beginning of Countdown last night, if time permits you of course: "Megaphones for lies that do not serve them." Ignorant to how they are the latest examples of Pawnism. Kenneth Gladney , that nut from yesterday with the gun , and many more just can't possibly comprehend right now that the things they are waging war against are the things that will benefit them if they lose this so called battle. A health care fight against improving your own health. Unbelievable. And speaking of those behind making those people into pawns, on TRMS last night, Lady Maddow continued her digging into the muck to find those doing their damnest to prevent meaningful health care reform. "Scooby sense." Nice.

Especially when you see this: I guess no one with a rational brain will mention ever again until something extraordinary happens about the "angry Left" anymore. Because the "Rabid Right" has taken over. Let's just hope this guy doesn't go in the town hall. Let's hope.

That is the question from the story you saw in today's agenda : As you know, a debate has been raging for days over what exactly happened last week when a bunch of SEIU guys got into a fight with black conservative Kenneth Gladney outside a town hall meeting in St. Louis. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and others on the right have hammered away at the idea that video of the scene proves that union thugs attacked a conservative in order to deny him free speech — a version that’s strongly disputed by some on the left. But it turns out there’s actually a disinterested witness who was on the scene and may have witnessed the fight — and he has yet to share his version of events. And Sargent makes a great point here: The argument over what happened during that scuffle is at the center of a white hot national spin war over where public opinion is on health care reform right now — a battle whose outcome could shape the final legislative result. So if Wagman did witness the start of this figh...

Steven Benen has one of those "Greatest stories that won't ever be told on the corporate media unless Olbermann and Maddow talk about it" anecdotes that needs to be shared throughout the rest of the rational online news community. It's that stunning, and it shows where the thought process is some in this country. Benen rights in this post at the W.M an about conservative nutcase activist Kenneth Gladney, and how his fight against health care reform is so irony at its quintessence. Over the last few days, a conservative activist in St. Louis named Kenneth Gladney seems to have become something of a cause for celebration in far-right circles. Depending on which version of events you choose to believe, Gladney either initiated or was involved in a scuffle at a town-hall event late last week. At least one prominent conservative blogger said Gladney was "brutally attacked" by SEIU members outside the event. After watching the video , there's ample reason for...

Genius.

Unprecedented And now, this: Both Josh Marshall and Greg Sargent on Monday and Tuesday respectively raised the point of where the pushback to the lobbyists founded, conservative driven, nut case hecklers at these health care town halls would come from, and when. TPM's publisher said this on August 3rd : We spent most of Monday reporting on these tea-bagging crowds going to Democratic health care town hall meetings to shout down the hosts and shut the events down. It's classic agitprop, very akin to the 'Brooks Brothers riot' down in Florida during the recount. But where's the other team? Folks can whine on endlessly about outfits like Freedom Works putting these rackets together. But if the president's plan has any public support they should be able to get supporters to these events too, right? Not to pull the Black Shirt routine but to provide some public demonstration that there's real public support for making reform a reality. If there is. So that's ...

I know those people are devastated, just like the lobbyists who send those people. They must be.

Teabaggers getting crazier and crazier ....telling Chris Dodd, who announced his battle with cancer on Friday, to take "a handful of painkillers "Like a handful of them at a time! He can wash it down with Ted Kennedy's whiskey -- oh excuse me, scotch!" Sick. Just sick.
