Conservatives' Media - A perpetual dishonesty machine

  1. Bush made 171 recess appointments, and would have made more except that he was stopped in the last couple of years from doing so by a maneuver from Reid.
    So, what's your point here, that the man Obama chose specifically said market forces don't work in health care? This is the big controversy?
    You could take five minutes off from your constant search for something to bash Obama with by looking at inflation in health care. If you think that inflation rate shows market forces working just fine in that area, fire away. I for one, am curious what the logic would be.

    Most of those appointments were made because the party in charge refused to start hearings on the candidate.
    In the case of Berwick, Both sides wanted to hold hearings yet Obama avoided any public hearings. Obama is deftly afraid to talk about health care.
    And now Obama is admitting that the Insurance mandate is classified as a tax, something he lied about previously.

  3. Read it again 'claiming that we "modeled" reform on the British system and fear mongered about imaginary "death panels."'

    The healthcare reform was nothing close to the NHS, infact it is much closer to a plan that the Conservative ThinkTank Heritage foundation proposed few years back.

  7. Believe it or not, I'm not much of a Beck fan. He's a neocon in libertarian drag... He was pro iraq, pro patriot act, pro dept of homeland security, pro trippling the size of the federal govt, pro gitmo etc etc etc

    He's not a libertarian by any stretch of the imagination. He, like Palin, is exploiting the tea party movement to get more political influence. He doesn't extol libertarian virtues by any stretch of the imagination.

    But I'll tell ya what, he is still more honest and factual than those BS artists at CNN any day of the week.

  9. Getting back to this particular nomination, I'd like to know why his position that the health care market doesn't work is controversial. No one has answered that.

    David Berwick's qualifications, from Kaiser:

    His main obsession:

    Sounds like a dangerous man. Oh my.

    CNN Story Fails to ID Party of Democrat Segregationist, But Includes 'D' Next to Names of Good Guys
    By Amy Ridenour | Fri, 07/30/2010

    In yet another example of the news media being selective about which party labels it chooses to share, a recent CNN online story about Shirley Sherrod mentioning three Democrat politicians included the "D" when the politicians where doing something the story applauded, and left it off when the Democrat was a bad guy.

    In "Sherrod's steadfast motto: 'Let's work together'" by Jim Kavanagh, the party identification of segregationist Georgia Governor Lester Maddox, a Democrat, is omitted:

    But later in the story, when two Democrats do something of which the author clearly approves, the party label is included:

    This sort of bias is so obvious, I sometimes wonder why the media even bothers.
