Joe Klein: Joe Wilson 'Vile', Besides 'Why Shouldn't' Illegals Be Covered?
Newsbusters.org ^ | 9-10-09 | Ken Shepherd

After plugging his latest column in a September 10 post on the magazine's Swampland blog, Time's Joe Klein pegged Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) as "vile" before defending taxpayer-funded health care for illegal immigrants:

On this whole question of whether illegal immigrants will be included in the plan, which caused the vile Congressman from South Carolina to shout "You lie" when the President said they wouldn't be covered. Why shouldn't they be? After all, when an illegal immigrant cuts his hand while chopping cabbage and goes to the emergency room, the rest of us pay for it. Isn't the point to expand the risk pool as much as possible, to lure the insurance companies into concessions and lower prices?

Can’t have it both ways, dirtbag. If Ozero wants to run on that, than he shouldnt lie about it, and his accuser should not be dubbed “vile”.. Youre getting your Orwellian script all jumbled up, you vile POS. Back to the drawing board.

‘Why shouldn’t they be?’

Because I’d have to pay for it, and I don’t want to pay for it. Get it?

Somebody should ask Joe Klein if he provides free meals and beds to any strangers who walk up to his house, open his front door and make themselves at home. And if he doesn't, why not?

TIME magazine is not a profitable enterprise. As a result it has replaced much of it's professional staff with free-form gasbags.

Obama lied!

There was an amendment by Heller to confirm the status of aliens. It was defeated by the democrats. There is no mechanism to verify status before getting the healthcare.

Democrats Defeat Amendment That Would Exclude Illegal Immigrants ...
Jul 20, 2009 ... Dean Heller, R-Nev., that would have prevented illegal aliens from receiving government-subsidized health care under the proposed plan ...

Why does he assume an immigrant is cutting lettuce?

Is that racist, profiling, ?

What word would the feel-goodys use to explain this condescending attitude?

Illegals shouln’t be covered if only because our children can’t afford it, expletive.

But aside from that, a free people should never be afraid to expose a lie, especially when it is coming from the President. The senator reflected the disgust many Americans feel at Obama’s autocratic posturing and scolding.

Nothing against illegals, who are covered now, anyway, but Joe Klein is a little liberal douchebag.

Joe, my idiot friend: if the illegal wasnt here, he wouldn’t have cut his hand. Well, he might have cut his hand but it wouldn’t have been here.
Please get a clue and try again.

And when a drunk illegal hits another car, kills the occupants and suffers a concussion himself, the rest of us pay for it.

Joe Clown, ur a dumbass.

Does Joe Klein (and his rich friends and associates) health-insure his gardener, pool sweeper, housekeeper and nanny?

They are not covered now. They are eligible for emergency care until their condition is stabilzed. Of course they take advantage of that now by going for every little thing but this health care bill would put them on par with you! They would vie for the now precious time your physician has to spend with you - an American citizen.

It’s like a Seinfeld routine: “Our plan won’t cover illegal aliens.Not that there’s anything wrong with that!”
