Ted Rall: Palin is right about the ACA; healthcare.gov is Obama's Katrina
In case people doubt that there are Ted Cruz types on the left.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/10/25/1250564/-Via-Sarah-Palin-How-Obama-s-Idiotic-ACA-Might-Lead-to-Real-Healthcare-Reform
The problem with this reasoning (which echoes 9/11 Truther theories that the Bush Administration couldn't possibly be stupid enough to let hijacked planes fly around the U.S. for nearly two hours) is that Obama and his team aren't really smart. They're calm.
It's not the same.
If Team Obama had been plotting Canadian-style socialized medicine all along, they wouldn't have floated all those dumb "heckuva job, Barry"-style excuses that turned healthcare.gov into the president's Katrina moment:
More:
No, Governor Palin, the truth behind the ACA mess is that Obama and his gang of golfing buddies are idiots.
...
"With Obamacare we have crappier health care (fewer choices, fewer doctors, and an IPAB rationing panel of faceless bureaucrats, aka the ol' 'death panel' that has been admitted to existing in Obamacare), but it is very expensive for the individual American…Americans, if you're faced with a 300% increase (or even a 65% increase like my family) in your health care premiums for crappier coverage, doesn't 'free' socialized medicine all of a sudden sound appealing? And that's how Americans will be led down the primrose path to a single-payer system. People will be frustrated, worn out, and broke under this new government burden. Many will end up concluding they'll settle for — then demand — full socialized medicine because they'll see how the unworkable Obamacare will break our health care system (where, presently, no one is turned away from emergency rooms and we have many public and private safety nets for people in need), along with busting our personal bank accounts."
I never thought I'd say this, but: From Sarah Palin's lips to God's ears.
Ted Rall may be the stupidest ****ing asshole on the planet.
For those of you who don't know... Ted Rall is a flaming fudge packing liberal. He was a political cartoonist for some paper during the Bush admin, seems to me like it was in Virginia, and then made some cartoon on his website that created a shit storm and was promptly fired. Hasn't worked since. He said he went to school to be an engineer, don't remember which kind, and promptly flunked out in the first semester.
Man when obumblescare has lost Ted Rall, things do not look good.
Small bonfire. Sure to get larger.

1. This might be one of the stupidest things Ted Rall has ever written. And there's a sizeable
selection there.
As long as Bush was in office, it was OK.

5. Hmm let's compare here
In one, people have to put up with an annoying website.
In the other, the government failed to adequately help people after a tragedy and many people suffered and/or died who didn't have to.
Paging gollygee... hurricane Sandy is on the phone.

6. Don't forget...
This is the same ditwit who said "Maus" creator Art Spiegelmann "had no talent," and that Pat Tillmann was a racist who went to Afghanistan and Iraq just so he could kill Arabs.
Hmmmm.... I remember when the dump said that about Tillman. They agreed with Rall. To lazy to look it up. Do they think we don't forget?

He registered at Daily Kos on October 7, and has been having a trolling out meltdown over Obamacare.

14. I'm only on DKos occasionally but I have never seen that many HRs on an OP or comments
For those who don't know it, HRs in DKos speak is "Hide Rate" or a sort of mega unrec. I've rarely seen any HRs on Diarys or comments there but there are a ton of them here. 8 on the Diary and 15 on one of his comments. That is huge.
I think he is going to get banned from the site.
Going under the bus, Ted Rall is.
That is it for now. If I had the time I'd go over to kos and check out the comments.
