1. Shredded to bits

Stewart strikes again.

[liberalpragmatist]

2. What's great is how he gets Kristol to totally prove Stewart's point

Kristol declares that any government system will have rationing! And will have a government body telling you what services you can or cannot purchase!

Then when Jon points out that we have that now, Kristol accidentally says no, not in Medicare. (!) Then he tries to catch himself by saying that's why the cost of Medicare is so high - which, of course, only undermines his point and implies that, yes, we should have rationing. Then he tries to change the subject and says, look, I don't like the insurance companies either, and that's why we should have some "common sense reforms," but not this government takeover.

5. Kristol really needs to sit down and make a nice chart

Media celebrities I am smarter than (say, Bill O'Reilly, all FOX employees) on one side, and
Media celebrities I am NOT smarter than (like Jon Stewart, Colbert) on the other side, and plan his public appearances accordingly.

3. Gotcha, Bill.

Don't forget, this guy brought the American people Sarah Palin.

[AlbertCat]

4. It's easy to get them tied in knots...

.... because they don't believe what they are saying in the 1st place. They are spouting what they are told to say by their Insurance masters. But even they know it's bunk so they cannot sell it.

How about a HEALTHCARE EXCHANGE OPTION where you get to exchange YOUR healthcare with some Repug's in Congress. He gets yours and you get his.

[applegrove]

6. This shows that at the heart of "neocondom" they know. They know government health care is

the best. But they don't want americans to have it because it would mean Americans would vote democratic and learn to love good government...all things that will keep neocons from getting power again. Their only hope is Palin.

[earcandle]

14. NO! It means we will demand that our tax dollars pay for our health care rather than other pork.

yuk, how can anyone call war a pork? 

Do you know how many Somalians died today as a result of
our 732 mercenary companies in 132 countries?  

at least 400 to 600.  

do we give a fuck about this statistic?

I want to move to a different country.
I want to give the wealth of being that I am to something else
besides futile ignorance 
and existential despair.

7. Only soldiers?

What about teachers, policeman/women, firemen/women, and all others who help to improve our society?

[Divine Discontent]

9. Spot on 1st post! Yes, what about them? Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[Voice for Peace]

10. yes

kristol is a ridiculous person.

[Divine Discontent]

8. only soldiers get healthcare paid for by the people, and rich people like Kristol, don't you know?

[HDPaulG]

11. Billy rich boy, articulate no manual labor RNC boy....

Got pwned...And he knew it !

[gtar100]

12. What's sad is to see how much Kristol talks and doesn't listen.

That's his and every right-wing pundit's defense as well as their downfall. They only consider information that suits their agenda and they only get more stupid for it. Yet we keep seeing these bloody idiots all over our media, even on "our" shows. I'm getting sick of it, even when it is a smack down. They're a big bulls-eye target for any liberal who can keep their cool (I'm not saying it's easy, especially on national media; I couldn't do it). As satisfying as a smack down is, I'm more hungry to hear intelligent, reality-based discussions instead of these brain-dead, right-wing talking points. Too many repukes get air time. I turn them off.

What an asshole Kristol is.

[earcandle]

15. He is a positon, not a person.

[Fedja]

13. Nailed him to the wall

My question is, why does everyone scream about taxes? If you save 800 a month on insurance payments and get a 200 buck hike on taxes... Doesn't that leave you with 600 bucks in your pocket to stimulate the economy and trickle down or whatever they call it these days?

[TommyPaine]

16. Bill, you're not a politician, so cut out the shit-eating grin act.

Kristol talks like a typical office-holding conservative Republican. The rest of us can afford to go out and buy health care! Your average retail wage-slave has no problem affording $250/mo premiums and huge deductibles.

[BradXXX]

17. Incredible!

I'm looking for one I can embed so I can post it properly on my facebook to help get this out to people that I know.

It's what we've been saying all along.
