Tweet

Hypocrisy.

From IHS.gov:
“The Indian Health Service (IHS), an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, is responsible for providing federal health services to American Indians and Alaska Natives. The provision of health services to members of federally-recognized tribes grew out of the special government-to-government relationship between the federal government and Indian tribes. This relationship, established in 1787, is based on Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, and has been given form and substance by numerous treaties, laws, Supreme Court decisions, and Executive Orders. The IHS is the principal federal health care provider and health advocate for Indian people, and its goal is to raise their health status to the highest possible level. The IHS provides a comprehensive health service delivery system for approximately 1.9 million American Indians and Alaska Natives who belong to 562 federally recognized tribes in 35 states.”
Michele Bachmann’s family getting 250k in farm subsidies, Sarah Palin’s grandson getting government health care. Ayn Rand must be rolling over in her grave
Where’s Jay Tea when you need him? The asshole whose life was saved by taxpayer supported/government funded health care?
He’s waiting for the RNC to release the talking points. Jay doesn’t know what he’s supposed to say or think until they do.
This is pretty funny, also not at all surprising.
Where’s Jay Tea when you need him?
He had a bit of a fit when OW ran a picture of soldiers’ coffins draped in flags and swore never to comment again. Presumably he’s still enjoying the fruits of his socialist state government.
Dennis?
It is very easy to oppose public health care when you are healthy and not in need of it, but the facts stand that becoming ill becomes expensive very quickly. Unfortunately, many of the arguments against some form of public health care are based on selfishness and not wanting to pay to improve the health for other people.
Dennis gets to play all day living off the corporate dole. Frank receives fed disability…
Cue Emily Litella in three…two…one…
“I wanta talk about social medicine. Why should medicine be social. I mean do I want parties in my doctors visit. When I am in my Dr. office I don’t want her doing the funky chicken. And how many people can fit into that tiny office. No social medicine!!!!”
“Ah, Miss Litella, It’s Socialized Medicine.”
“Oh Neeevvvvvaaaaaa mind.”
OK. . . . teehee.
You guys don’t get it. Right-wingers don’t have a problem with government healthcare. They simply can’t say outloud what they really want to say which is:
THEY DON’T WANT THEIR TAX DOLLARS TO GO TO HELPING NON-WHITES (BLACKS AND LATINOS IN PARTICULAR) GETTING ACCESS TO BETTER HEALTH CARE.
That’s the issue. That’s what the coded language is all about (entitlements!). They simply hate the fact that good health care will be for ALL Americans. That’s why the image of the irresponsible welfare-queen is always brought up in this crowd. It’s someone for them to point to and say THAT’S why they’re against such and such bill.
Poor whites in America consistently vote against their own interests based on racial issues. You hear Tancredo basically say that he hates the fact that minorities can vote (the whole ‘people that can’t even read can vote’ schtick).
That’s what we’re dealing with here. Whites on the right trying their hardest to keep non-whites down.
My opinion.
Too true, and let me add that I think it’s more than just ‘poor whites’…
If they were giving us the same heath care the politicians reserved for themselves, no one would be complaining. Ok, that’s not true. But that would remove the vast majority of objections. Watch. They’ll get they’re cushy plan and us lowlifes will get the short stick. As usual.
See, now I would be ALL FOR Death Panels IF $arah would stand in front of one.
Jane: “Emily, we are getting very, VERY fed up with your little hearing problem…”
Emily: “I’m sorry. It won’t happen again…”
Jane: “Very well.”
Emily: “…bitch!“
Stop it. teehee
The focus of the various lobbies (financial, agriculture, medical, etc.) aim their rhetoric at poor whites. It’s rich whites manipulating poor whites. This has been going on literally for centuries in this country.
The rich make poor whites feel that minorities are coming to “get them”. They’re coming for their jobs. They’re coming for their women.
If they get their freedom, they’ll take your jobs.
If they get the right to vote, they’ll ruin the country.
If they get elected to office, they’ll punish the whites.
They don’t want to work and only want to collect welfare.
Do you want your tax dollars to go to a health care bill that all those lazy darkies and spics can use?
This is mentality America has been fighting against for centuries. The blatant racist manipulation of of Poor White America to consistently vote against their own self interest on behalf of the rich who could give a damn about them.
Oddly enough, not even Andrew Sullivan mentions this news item.
Oddly enough, Dennis, nobody here gives a shit whether Andrew Sullivan writes about it or not.
Do you have something else to say about the subject at hand, other than your irrelevant observation?
Or is this an example again of the old song, “Look, over there?” which seems to be the only tune you know these days?
There is a subject that we should listen to Sullivan about:
As a longtime readers of this partisan hack, let me merely advise anyone: whatever you do, don’t take Glenn Reynolds too seriously.
Thanks for playing!
Perhaps Mr. Sullivan is holding back on this item, letting folks like Oliver put it out there and letting it appear as the insignificant little tidbit that it is, knowing he’d be mocked for being the crazed Palin stalker that he is if he posted it as is. Maybe he has a bombshell on it and he’s lying in the grass waiting to unload it on the world.
Or maybe the Atlantic Monthly higher-ups told Andy to cool the Palin paranoia for a little while and let someone else step in to take his place, and that’s what we’re seeing here.
…or, perhaps, Dennis blows goats. Ockham’s razor suggests the latter.

Maybe you’ve just pulled a scenario out of your ass because you aren’t concerned about commenting on this item as you are being paranoid that Sullivan is somehow ‘coordinating’ his attacks on Palin by what appears on this site.
Maybe you’re a Oliver Willis stalker who can’t help the fact that this doesn’t look good for Ms. Bible Starbursts, so you have to change the subject again.
Or maybe the Atlantic Monthly higher-ups told Andy to cool the Palin paranoia for a little while and let someone else step in to take his place, and that’s what we’re seeing here.
Great mind-reading act, Dennis, do you do balloon animals and magic tricks as well at childrens’ birthday parties?
Your talents are surely appreciated when you do that, unlike here…………….
Dark Avenger, Palin got 7% of the vote in the CPAC straw poll and she’s been getting 10 times the coverage of all the other people whose names came up as potential candidates.
You guys are obsessed with even the most boring and trivial of things about Sarah Palin.
The fact that this is even something worth printing is because some poor schmuck somewhere is getting paid to dig up anything on her…either that or he has a deadline to meet and had to go with the best thing he could find from what he found rooting around in her garbage cans.
She consumes you. Give it up before it’s too late.

Then why are you obsessed with commenting on a thread that contains the most boring and trivial things about Palin?
She consumes you. Give it up before it’s too late.
I would say that you should take your own advice, unless your physician won’t prescribe the Cialis or Viagra that you need to replace Ms. Palin in your imagination………..

Or maybe, Dennis can’t think of anything else to say to defend Palin and there’s no one he can plagiarize it from yet.
Step 1, fafaroo:
1) We admitted we were powerless over Sarah Palin —that our lives had become unmanageable.
You and few other people here need to be honest with yourselves. Without doing that, you can’t go forward.
Step 1) Answer the question: Does Sarah Palin have the skills and character to be president? Yes or no.
You seem to be among the shrinking number of conservatives who refuse to answer that question directly.
Step 1) Answer the question: Does Sarah Palin have the skills and character to be president? Yes or no.
Why in the world would it even matter to you at this point? That is what is so bizarre, fafaroo.
Yah know what, I’m ready to discard Ms. Palin as a subject, and just talk about the CPAC conference and what it means to folks like Dennis:

and
fewsome other peopleFixed that for you Dennis, and please, keep proving John Stuart Mill correct:
Once again, not an answer to the question.
How do we know Sarah & Todd were never enrolled in IHS themselves?
Or maybe, and this is just a guess, you’re a complete idiot.
