"We fought wars against this kind of European health care,"- idiot on C-span. |
|
Sorry I just had to write that one down. Now I remember why I stopped listening to callers.

2. Could you hear the air whistling through the missing teeth? |
|
Usually a sign that the call is genuine and not just some college students having fun.

|
back of my mouth, but it's easily discernible how comments like yours degrade an intellectually stimulating website into a base mentality of insults.
hahaha.. just rippin' on you. But I do have missing teeth, so shuddup or I'll bite you with my sharp one that broke last year.

24. I just thought it was ironic |
|
Many of the folks most militantly against health care reform would benefit greatly from it.
Even the most basic dental care is something many Americans don't have (and many Europeans do).

11. it's so funny, isn't it! they're the easily led sheeple our mommas warned us about. |
|
where they come up with these thoughts is beyond me. But I agree with the comment below, some really weird calls come in. I end up turning it after a few of them, too. It's just ends up being too much eye rolling for me in one day.

As our mommas also said. Listening to C-Span can be dangerous to our health!

8. Some pretty whacked out people call in... I usually end up switching channels |
|
as I find it so frustrating (sometimes scary) listening to some of them. Please tell me they're not for real... It's just for entertainment value, right.

12. Hmmm . . . he must have been referring to the same Europe |
|
that has all the countries that are rated much higher than the United States when it comes to health care. It's a shame you can't cure dumb.

21. Has this person been to Europe and noticed how good the people there look? |
|
We couldn't help but observe that a large majority of people are not overweight---I guess it's because of their lousy health care!

22. You mean the wars of PInkertons against organized labor? |
|
The wars fought in this country for over a century pitting the workers' desire for justice and decent working conditions against the wealthy and their private police? These wars? http://www.amazon.com/Labor-Wars-Maguires-Workers-Memorial/dp/1931859701

23. Yes, European health care is horrendous. Just look, for example, at |
|
all the illegal Scandinavian immigrants sneaking to the U.S. to get away from their hideous and oppressive socialist health care systems. Ole and Lena are coming to America to experience first-hand the wonders of $12,000/year premiums and rescission of coverage.
Of course we fought WWII so we wouldn't have to give up such a wonderful system as we have. Poor Ole and Lena.

28. What these people don't understand is that when we fought to save Western Europe from |
|
Nazism, we also defeated communism with our Marshall Plan, which revitalized war-ravaged Europe. The western European nations pretty much all created universal, single payer health care for their people. So in our own way, we helped them have what we don't have today...ironic, isn't it?
