Limbaugh supports dining room table
Right-wingers whom I know keep saying the trouble with the healthcare furore is that the rest of us should grow up and stop with the name-calling and discourteously unsettling identification of dangerous fruitbats, and instead make efforts -- as, although they mysteriously fail to mention this, the President has been doing since January -- to establish a dialogue.
Hm.
Further to my post here, Rush Limbaugh responded to Barney Frank on his radio show:
I think it's fabulous and fantastic, and hilarious that a woman shows up at a Barney Frank town hall meeting with an Obama-as-Hitler poster and this Nazi stuff, in his district. I mean, this is unreal.
But the killer for me was, here's Barney Frank saying, "What planet do you live on?" to this woman. Isn't it an established fact that Barney Frank himself spends of his time living around Uranus?
Wow. Two varieties of hate speech -- anti-Semitism and homophobia -- for the price of one! Quickly, establish a dialogue with that, someone.
(Incidentally, the other day Limbaugh described Nancy Pelosi as "deranged" because she said fruitbats were turning up at these town hall meetings with swastikas and other Nazi paraphernalia. It seems the fat man's memory is short.)

I mean, why can't we talk about things like "How does this affect the deficit?" and "Let's make sure the private insurers that are doing their jobs aren't the ones that lose customers?" and "What is the purpose of insurance in the first place?"
I don't even know if it's that the Right has no argument or if theyjust want people to run around screaming and carrying Hitler signs because it's good politicial theater. If that's the case, they are evil evil evil people.
And they wear pants. Just like Hitler!

Or, under which system will fewest people suffer and die unnecessarily?

Now, that's just Communist. :-)

any system favoured by Herr Rauch Limbach
That'd be the ones guaranteeing free oxycontin on demand to rich fat white men smoking cigars?

I think all this business of politicians bickering and arguing among each other is nothing more than mere staging, for the"edification" of the hoi poloi.
Same old . . .

Which is what the Republicans want you to think.

Yes, the Republicans do seem to represent the Evil Empire.

"I wonder if there is any real thought behind the madness to begin with."
Yes, it's a deliberate strategy.
There was an excellent article on the subject a few days ago by Johann Hari in the UK newspaper The Independent: http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/johann-hari/johann-hari-republicans-religion-and-the-triumph-of-unreason-1773994.html.
