Hail Mary: Racist E-Mail Doc Reaches Out To Liberal Critics, Quoting Dean, Greenwald, Ed Schultz

[seeinfweggos]

Tea Party activist David McKalip, who sent out the now-famous picture of Obama as a witch doctor, is now reaching out to the very progressives who sent him hate mail, calling on them to unite in a left-right coalition to "Stop the Final Corporate Takeover of Medicine."

In what he describes as "a call to action from an unlikely ally," McKalip, the Florida neurosurgeon who recently appeared as an anti-reform expert on Glen Beck's show, tells progressives to call their House representatives and "tell them 'No to the Senate Bill!'"

6. people can be smart assed about this all they want but

if you can't see the level of discontent that would lead this asshole to make a call out to people who are not happy with corporate control, then I hope none of you deal with electoral politics for your jobs because you're not helping anything.

in any case, go ahead with the insults if you want to help the guy.

personally, he and his ilk can go to hell, as far as I'm concerned, his pov is nothing like those on the left who are concerned about what's happening. however, when you try to label the left as one and the same, you provide incentive for people to stay home or to join with those they don't agree with - since the feeling seems to be that the right wing democrats don't care anyway, so why bother to vote for them?
