If you stopped one hundred random people on the streets of your Alabama city or town and asked them "Who is Betsy McCaughey?", I wager not one in ten could answer accurately. But if you ask the same hundred folks "What are 'death panels'", they would immediately tell you they are an Obama plot to kill old people.
Some of these folks are actually quite intelligent; a few have educational backgrounds that would lead one to expect better of them, but what they have in common is a blind reliance on the right wing media for all their current-affairs education. Let me discuss this a bit below the fold.

Living in these United States, there comes a point at which you throw your hands up in exasperation and despair and ask a fundamental question or two: how much excess profit does corporate America really need? How much bigger do executive salaries and bonuses have to be, how many houses or jets or artworks can be crammed into a life?
After all, as billionaire movie director Steven Spielberg is reported to have said, when all is said and done, "How much better can lunch get?"
But since greed is not self-governing, hardly anyone raking in the dough ever stops to say, "That's it. Enough's enough! How do we prevent it from sweeping up everything in its path, including us?"

VIDEO Psycho Talk, Sarah Palin claims Obama lacks experience Irony Alert
Sarah Palin brings her bounty of political experience as a half term quitter as Governor of Alaska, blundering token female V.P. candidate/ SNL skit inspiration for Tina Fey to bear in judging President Barack Obama's "lack of experience." Alas, "It's a bit over his head" according to the new voice of Fox News, and sometimes lunatic fringe Teabagger event speaker. Ed Schultz does a very brief point by point comparison of Sarah Palin's accomplishments to those of Barack Obama. Suitable for framing.

Thomas J. Tradewell Sr., a Republican flack who heads the Veterans for Foreign Wars (VFW), has an unusual give-away when he's lying. His mouth moves.
Now, Tradewell is lying about TRICARE, "the health care program serving active duty service members, National Guard and Reserve members, retirees, their families, survivors and certain former spouses worldwide."
Lying isn't new for Tradewell. Tradewell betrays veterans every day as his organization is joined at the hip with the neocon elements embedded at the U.S. Dept of Veterans Affairs who as any veteran or advocate besides Tradewell and his corrupt ban of cronies know: Screws veterans. [There is hope that this state of affairs at DVA is changing, just don't mention this to veterans attorney Bob Walsh for example, or any other veterans' advocate who are liable to explode at the suggestion.]

Rush Limbaugh: corporate profits more important than American lives...
Here are some snippets from Rush Limbaugh's latest melt-down and corporate sponsored fear mongering. My translation of what he actually means vs. what he says is included:
What's happened here is not insurance. Insurance is you insure yourself against a catastrophe, something that might happen to wipe you out. This is not insurance. This is simply the insurance companies being captivated or taken over by the government and having their behavior mandated for the express purpose of putting them out of business.
What Rush is saying is that he gets big perks and kickbacks from the insurance industry. Now, if insurance is just to "insure yourself against a catastrophe" then why are basic doctors visits covered by most insurance companies? But what Rush is not saying (paid not to say) is what applies directly to me. I did have insurance. I developed a "catastrophe" called Lupus. My insurance dropped me and no other insurance company will take me.
Back to Rush:
Under this bill, as I told you last week, you don't have to buy insurance. You can wait until the accident or the illness happens and then buy it that day, and they have to sell it to you. No matter what. If you get terminal cancer and the doctor gives you three months, they have to sell you your coverage. Except you're not going to have to buy it. If you can't afford it, we -- all your neighbors -- will. No insurance company can stay in business doing this.
What Rush is saying is that we should let our neighbors simply die because the rights of corporations are more sacrosanct than those of our fellow Americans. If our "neighbors" (his word) get into a massive accident, and their insurance company drops them, well, they should simply die. If our neighbors get cancer and only have three months to live, well, then who cares if they have pain management.
I find it remarkable that people who oppose paying for war - especially an unnecessary and illegal war - are called unpatriotic by Rush and his ilk. Yet when Rush and others like him oppose paying to save American lives otherwise lost untreated illnesses, he and his are NOT called unpatriotic.

Teabaggers: Unemployed Morons With Nothing Better To Do
by Angry Mouse
Mon Mar 29, 2010 at 06:16:03 AM PDT
Big surprise. Teabaggers aren't real patriots. They're just unemployed and have nothing better to do with their time than watch Glenn Beck and get outraged about...stuff.
At rallies, gatherings and training sessions in recent months, activists often tell a similar story in interviews: they had lost their jobs, or perhaps watched their homes plummet in value, and they found common cause in the Tea Party’s fight for lower taxes and smaller government.The Great Depression, too, mobilized many middle-class people who had fallen on hard times. Though, as Michael Kazin, the author of “The Populist Persuasion,” notes, they tended to push for more government involvement. The Tea Party vehemently wants less — though a number of its members acknowledge that they are relying on government programs for help.
The astonishing thing about these teabaggers is that they, like so many Americans, are legitimately hurting in this economy. But because they listen to the likes of Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin and their elected officials from the Party of No, they think the answer to their problems is to demand that the government stop trying to help them with their problems.
And thus, you have people like those featured in the New York Times article, who have lost their jobs and are upside down on their mortgages, calling their congressional representatives for help and at the same time devoting all their free time to organizing protests against their congressional representatives who try to help them.
Mr. Grimes, who receives Social Security, has filled the back seat of his Mercury Grand Marquis with the literature of the movement, including Glenn Beck’s “Arguing With Idiots” and Frederic Bastiat’s “The Law,” which denounces public benefits as “false philanthropy.”“If you quit giving people that stuff, they would figure out how to do it on their own,” Mr. Grimes said.
Apparently, the New York Times reporter did not bother to ask Mr. Grimes when he would be giving up his Social Security so he can figure out how to do it on his own.
