Harry Reid is going to have a hard time portraying Will Pitt as a Koch brothers shill...
William Rivers Pitt, a leftwing editor at TruthOut, whose foibles have been chronicled in NewsBusters and is probably best known for his journalism "scoop" of predicting the indictment of Karl Rove on May 12, 2006, is back in the spotlight again.
While waiting 24 business hours to elapse for the Rove indictment to finally take place, Pitt shocked many at the Democratic Underground by posting an extremely angry attack, What I've learned about the Affordable Care Act, upon Obamacare due to a bad personal experience with it.
In order to fully appreciate how far Pitt has turned against Obamacare, we need to go to his DU post back in December when he was proclaiming his love for Obama's signature plan...before he even experienced it:
Well, I just had my first experience with the Healthcare.gov website...
Creating a user name and account: easy.
Plowing through all the questions: easy.
Alas, I logged out to track down some personal info, and when I tried to log back in, it said the system was currently down.
...but then, Ermahgerd! A phone number: 800-318-2596
And it's toll-free, too!
So I'll be calling in the morning to finish the process.
No. Big. Deal.
Thanks, Obama.
Yes, Pitt was thanking Obama before he had personally experienced Obamacare. And now, after having his Obamacare Moment, Pitt has moved from praising to cursing the President. A warning for those with tender sensibilities: although I have cleaned up Pitt's harsh language, many will still find it offensive:
What I've learned after a three-month war with these fiends: the ACA says the insurance companies cannot deny coverage to those with pre-existing conditions, which is true as far as it goes. But they can deny coverage for the life-saving medications necessary to treat those conditions.
The insurance company I signed up with through the ACA exchange just denied coverage of my wife's multiple sclerosis medication. We're "covered," to the tune of $700 a month...just not for what she really needs.
A cozy loophole, that.
F--- you, insurance industry.
F--- you, Mr. President, you piece of sh*t used-car salesman.
From my heart and soul, f--- you.
So does Pitt feel like a fool for his previous support of Obamacare? You bet he does to the extent that he wishes he could travel back in a time machine to correct himself:
I long for a time machine.
I helped, in my own small way, to promote this thing, because of the pre-existing conditions aspect that would benefit my wife. I feel like a f---ing dupe.
On edit: I AM a f---ing dupe. Last time that happens.
Pitt's attacks upon Obamacare became so harsh that he had to be removed from posting more on his own thread with this pronouncement of limited excommunication:
The OP has been silenced. Post hidden and OP locked out. There won't be any more responses on this thread from him.
Well as they often say... a conservative is a liberal mugged by reality. :rofl:

Oh, I'm sure it'll take 24 bid'ness hours for the hangover to subside, but he'll be back at usual bar stool along the trough soon enough afterwards.

The Pittstain is doing his best to wrangle the "laughing stocks of the internet", away from StinkDUde.
By George, I think he's got it.

An abridged analogy for those with little time to follow the trials of the Royal Pitt:
-ahem-
I went to Harbor Freight and bought an axe. The checkout was splendid! I got a great deal! I don't know why anyone would ever complain about this store! Such wonders! Anybody that complains about this store are such morons.
Later that same evening:
Posting from the emergency room. The head of the axe flew off the handle on the first blow, bounced off the log and into my face. Why didn't anybody ever warn me about the dangers of using an axe from there?

William has been a laughing stock for a very long time. It's just several years between his big screw ups.

A quick blast to the recent past...
