new trend for cable news...bring the wingnuts into the studio and give them a forum
i haven't seen ONE pro-healthcare person from the townhalls interviewed in the studio by any of the pundits

why give the wingnuts a forum and exclude those who are pro?
as President Obama said 'teevee loves a ruckus'

It's an outrage! This would not have happened if the wingnuts had not sabotaged Dan Rather.

Incidentally, a key point for future reference: You'll be able to easily detect when the Kenyan
begins to lose his DUmp magic. It will have happpened when you see DUmp posts routinely
mention "Obama" instead of "President Obama". It happens now, but it's a very rare case.

1. From what I've seen
giving the wingnuts a forum does their side more harm than good.

2. Then why is support for reform plummeting?
You people who insist that propaganda is useless need to gets your heads out of the sand.

4. I Agree With You
It works, however, I think Obama's Montanna townhall did WONDERS for the debate and perception of the plan.

At least I think so, well...at least I HOPE so. Yes...I still have HOPE.

DUmmy ConnorMarc is hopey, but can't quite get changey. And he left out "President".

6. i'd agree if it were balanced, but it's not.
when they bring these crazies into the studio, they are the made up by the make up artist and presented as 'normal citizens' which they are not.

anyone who goes to these town meetings and screams and yells is unhinged imho

it would be fair if the pro healthcare folks were getting the same exposure

3. A very aggressive media purge will be a prerequisite for getting the country back
Nothing of consequence will happen until after that.

The first step is flag@whitehouse.org .

The DUchebags would have had the local Gestapo or NVDK's phone number memorized from turning in so many of their neighbors.

What plan are you talking about DUmmy? Obama hasn't put forth a plan, and he says he hasn't even read the House plan...

You know what I would love to see?  Two people are genuinely well informed about the bill debating it, in a well moderated debate.  Require them to specifically reference the bill to support their stance.  Lets see how well it does in the polls after that.

Celtic, you are absolutely right.  Two people from both ideologies who've read the entire 1,017 page bill.  Absorbed it, pondered it.  Can reference any page.  Wouldn't that be great?  Ya know, I believe Sarah Palin has read that bill.  We should become some of her growing facebook friends and suggest it.  Who would be the opponent?  Axelrod?  Emmanuel/Mengele?  Obama?  Pelosi?

Any bet on which you will find first, a conservative or a liberal that has read the bill?
