Check out these Domestic Right Wing Terrorist conspiracy theories we hadn't heard..

Health Care reform will make hospitals gay.

Dems using swine flu to take over.

Bush advisor worry over Santorum presidential bid. (Satire, people!)

Glenn Beck said that the grandma-fueled cars were part of President Obama's "Hitler-like plan" to bail out the auto industry by converting the elderly into fuel.

Limbaugh praises Palin's "intellectual heft" on "death panels."
Maybe the poster child for the entire undereducated, under-informed mob that make up the right wing town hall protesters

Milton Friedman, an economist apparently, shilled for Blue Cross.

Way back in 1956.

Darth Cheney finally throws Chimp under the bus.

Conservatism can never fail. Only conservatives.

The healthcare debate isn't about healthcare but about a conspiratorial government and the end of the Republic

Everyone knows that!

Maybe because 13 out of 15 are black you racisist texas judge?


Just think about this for a second: Did you ever see anyone arrested wearing a Bush T-shirt, or for you older folks, an Eisenhower?, Gerald Ford?, Ronald Reagan?, even Nixon?, or any political t-shirt? There MUST be a message here, but I can't quite grasp it, or maybe I'm afraid to.

Or too racist.

Unfortunately for the missus, Great Clips wasn't the only place where G-Mark was getting his trim.

That's just too clever not to notice.

These people are coming unhinged over expanding access to health care.

It's not about taking away guns or mandating abortion or outlawing churches or some other issue about which you could understand these people having such strong feelings. They have worked themselves up into a complete frenzy over helping sick people. The right wing noise machine is awesome.

50 million people are missing out on Death Panels.

TDS

Google an article in the San Francisco Chronicle about train cars with shackles.

Orly Taitz is batshit fucking insane. And she's a promienent voice of the Republican party. Now THATS perception management.

"Birthers" stongest where education, working conditions, health are the worst.


That is, the birther movement is strongest in precisely those states where Republicans poll best and health care is worst. And as it turns out, there is a Birther Corollary: education, working conditions and myriad other indicators of social failure are generally most dismal in the most red of states.

you need to “make some decisions,” like whether your mother should be released “HTD” which is hospital parlance for “home to die,”

You have no idea what it’s like to be called into a sterile conference room with a hospital administrator you’ve never met before and be told that your mother’s insurance policy will only pay for 30 days in ICU. You can't imagine what it's like to be advised that you need to “make some decisions,” like whether your mother should be released “HTD” which is hospital parlance for “home to die,” or if you want to pay out of pocket to keep her in the ICU another week. And when you ask how much that would cost you are given a number so impossibly large that you realize there really are no decisions to make. The decision has been made for you. "Living will" or no, it doesn't matter. The bank account and the insurance policy have trumped any legal document.
