More Obamacare fuckups

[Parkbandit]

Ya, this is definitely not Woodward and Bernstein tackling Watergate. They used this idiot to attack other right wing idiots. This is not surprising since it's on MSNBC and written by a Politics Nation staffer. It's sensational and a bit over the top, doesn't mean they don't have a point, nor does it mean that they did not support their conclusions with quotes and references. Feel free to agree or disagree (and I totally get that this is a somewhat inflammatory article) and you do have a point that they haven't created ironclad connections from Rush et. al. to Mr. Jackson. I'd suggest that you are working around the actual subject matter and not attacking the heart of their point, which is that some people blame the President for things that never happened and these points of view are advanced by other media members.

So, what exactly was the point of the opinion piece? You are talking in circles again.

Sen. Barrasso of Wyoming just told the story from California on the Senate floor. He said the opinion piece stated that United Healthcare left California because of Obamacare. I still don't see that anywhere in the article.

As a moderator you really shouldn't be such a troll. Have some decorum. It's not like we can ignore you and I would if I could.

Man up, cupcake. It'll be ok.

Just to make sure I wasn't going crazy I even looked it up in the thesaurus and it turns out fact and opinion are antonyms.

Haven't you figured it out yet? The neat thing about politics is that there are no "facts." It's all opinion, and some opinions are a lot better than others. Even if you manage to find an undisputed "fact," the fact won't be very important by itself. What is important is how people respond to perceived facts. For anything as complicated as politics, those responses are determined by opinions. Therefore, opinions are greater than facts.

Well I've said it two times. The first time I said to TG that the clue about the point of the article is in the title then I explained it in greater detail in the quote that you captured and specifically in the last sentence.

Well just think... if you and everyone out there like you had actually voted against Obama he would not be in office right now and you would not have anything to complain about.

I bet if that vote was held now, we would have a different president

Good for KY. They are way ahead of where MA was at this point with Romneycare. It's going to make McConnell's race even more interesting.

Surely you know the difference between opinion and fact, ClydeR.

In the same way that you know the difference between "not completely certain" and "astonishingly inaccurate", ClydeR.

You and me are going to be resorting to fisticuffs pretty soon, Tgo.
