Krauthamer blames Rush

I would agree under different circumstances. Unfortunately, we have seen the American people shut out of these meetings and denied the opportunity to ask the pertinent questions. We've seen congress people yell at professionals at the meetings. In many cases, the congressperson never addressed anything in the healthcare bill other than..."This is good for America and only selfish people wouldn't agree." (Talking points) All this AFTER they were promised discussions open to the public and transparence.

In addition to this treatment, they are being maligned by our elected representatives, called names and told to "shut up."

Like I said, under different circumstances, I'd agree with you but there's been no invitation extended to either view or participate in an open discussion on this topic.

This reminds me of the way Krauthammer wrote back in the days when I was in El Salvador. He wrote some good stuff for our side but he also ceded too much to the Left on rightwing and centrist government excesses. On the whole the Salvadoran Army was just as disciplined as ours would have been under the extreme circumstances. I would never speak of the Salvadoran military or the ARENA Party of the time in terms of “rightwing death squads”.

You know...maybe someone should invite Charles and some of the other high-browed elites to come to a Tea Party event or Town Hall meeting.

Krauthamer likes playing on both sides of the fence. Make a choice Charles.

I can’t remember the last time I thought Krauthamer said anything worth remembering. I recall hearing him opine about illegal immigration, and he was absolutely incoherent. His opinion changed from week to week. He’s too much of a Beltway snob with disdain for commoners like Rush. And Kondracke? The guy can only hope to be incoherent someday.

The anger is understandable and the politicians should be listening. However, if people want to convince those who want to believe then facts and figures go a long way in making the case.

Yes both Mort and Charles Krauthamer both said it was Rush Limbaugh and other talk show hosts that were to blame and that protesters were hurting their cause by creating a scene. Obamessiah is trying to gas old folks and these clowns want us to play by Markus of Queensburry rules. They also chided the Republican leadership for not putting us in our place:

Mort and Charles et al: "SHUT UP, LAY DOWN, TAKE THE PILL AND DIE!"

Doesn't Charlie boy realize that he is viewed as nothing but a useless "CRIPPLE" by Obamessiah and his DEATHCARE minions and sinc he is nothing but a "drain on the society collective," would be one of the first to "get the 'FINAL SOLUTION' 'SPECIAL' treatment"?

They remind me of the JEWS who worked for the Nazis by putting OTHER Jews into the gas chambers and into the ovens thinking that they would some how escape being killed themselves. And we all know how that turned out :o(

Tyrem, I hope your post finds its way to Krauthhammer’s eyes and conscience. Good post.

“Yes both Mort and Charles Krauthamer both said it was Rush Limbaugh and other talk show hosts that were to blame and that protesters were hurting their cause by creating a scene.”

I was watching Arlen Spector at a ‘town hall’ this morning. All the people were polite and asked relevant questions. No yelling, no hectoring, just good old fashioned democracy in action.

The difference... NOT ONE UNION THUG TO BE SEEN.

Ol’ Charles blew it. He doesn’t understand the people of America, not just a few malcontents, are riled up.

His myopia once again has not allowed him to see reality. The other major blunder had to do with Maliki taking control of Bashra.

Had he read Free Republic, he would have known the real story.
