Rep. Bill Brotherton, a Democrat member of Johnson's committee, called efforts to promote the bill a "total waste of time."

"Obviously ... one of the more important issues we have is mental health in this state," Brotherton said mockingly. "I wonder if we are going to have a bill on the grassy knoll next to decide who shot Kennedy."

Note the similarity in language to the many shills who appear on FR whenever anyone suggests doing something other than kvetching about overreaching federal power.

Well, it does seem like the modus operandi for the "everything happens by accident" crowd now doesn't it? I can't remember the whole phrase right now but it goes something like truth usually goes through different phases such as: ridicule, denial, questioning, etc. before eventual acceptance....some folks are just in the early stages of really understanding what's going on and when you don't have a real intellectual argument to counter issues like these the useful idiot has no choice but resort to ridicule.
