Newsweek’s Evan Thomas: ‘The health care bill is a disaster’
Daily Caller ^ | Jan. 10, 2011 | Jeff Poor

Sometimes criticism comes in the unlikeliest of places.

On Friday’s “Inside Washington,” Newsweek columnist Evan Thomas, once an editor at the magazine with a long track record of having liberal positions (even once having likened President Barack Obama to a deity), noted the modest improvement in the unemployment number reported on Friday. However, nearly a year after Obamacare was passed and signed into law, he admitted Republicans were right for voicing their opposition of it.

“It ain’t because of Congress,” Thomas said. “The unemployment will go down a little bit but the game in Washington will still be this unreal game. Health care though – I got to say, is one place where I think where Republicans are right.”

My guess is his job as a propagandist at NewsWeak is over like the magazine.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. When you pull the idealistic blinders completely off Mr. Thomas, you'll find out conservatives are generally right about any and all important issues. The only reason the left even appears to be in the game is due to lies, distortions, and downright delusion.

Wait'll the looney libs start getting billed for Obamacare. Wait'll people start being told their loved ones cannot get additional medical care to keep them 1) medically treated; and 2) alive. Wait'll companies REALLY begin the Obamacare-related layoffs......

The check probably bounced. My guess is he is out of a job soon.

Careful what you say, hahaa. The truth is sending folks (both liberal and conservative) over the edge.

The libs scream, but the conservatives FREAK OUT because they’re terrified what the lib media will “Say about them,”
labeling them violent, eeeevil.

In other words, the Commies have many conservatives trained to self-censor and just shrink from debate on this.

I frankly don’t want to be around when DeathCare starts snuffing out people’s parents/grandparents, and people start to crack and react in assorted unpredictable ways.

Who can predict what 300,000,000 Americans will do when their father/mother is snuffed out by a government agency for “budget” reasons? Frankly, just the question frightens me.

For any alarmists reading this, and any lib trolls, I’m NOT advocating violence. Nor am I advocating drinking more than 8 beers then trying to pilot a hang glider into the ocean. Nor am I advocating dancing the Charleston. Nor am I advocating watching Ben Affleck movies.

I’m simply saying that Commies have cooked a horrific stew, and as they serve it to folks, nothing good can come from it.

Precisely what you said. Media has stepped seriously deep in caca-land supporting the agenda and the propaganda. Thankfully Americans know better than to buy into it (Obamacare included).
