* I was watching
"Real Time with Bill Mahr" today and they were discussing the border fence between the US and Mexico. I think they said it was costing something like 600 million to build it. There have already been 3300+ breaches of the fence and it costs $1300 dollar each time to fix it. WTF? How much bottled water do you suppose is being consumed at the federal level?
* A little update... the local Nazi/Health Care posters are the product of LarouchPAC. Here are some thoughts:
From the DNC:
"repeated use of Nazi symbolism at community meetings by the Republican-incited mob proves that these protests have nothing to do with health care, but rather that the Republican Party is willing to sink to the lowest, most despicable levels to accomplish their goal"
John McCormac said:
" To put it mildly, comparing your political opponents in America to Nazis is inappropriate–no matter if the comparison is made by Pelosi or left-wing talker Bill Press or Rush Limbaugh (in response to Pelosi’s “swastikas” statement) or Andrew Sullivan who routinely compares those who support harsh interrogations of al Qaeda members to the Gestapo."Another quote:
" Rush Limbaugh talking about Obama “sending out his Brownshirts” is a pretty clear reference to Hitler "
I am all for you having a difference of opinion from mine, people.. but this imagery and language is dangerous. I just finished reading "
Stories of the Holocaust" and to suggest that the health care plan, whatever faults it has right now, is the same as the agenda of the satanists in the Nazi Party or the SS is just not true. The posters are disgusting.
* Now, I realize that politicians must be careful with their words, but why the uproar over Obama saying that Kanye is a jackass? Is there a conservative or liberal out there who would disagree? Remember when he rendered Mike Myers speechless on the Katrina Telethon show by calling Bush out and saying he hated the black man? How soon we forget... jackass is a bit too mild for my taste.
