RUSH: I had some rudimentary information on this two weeks ago, and it wasn't enough for me to trust going with. But since then, it has been verified, and most of it's been verified by a "Freeper" at Free Republic. Everybody is writing about this now, since the Freeper posted it over the weekend. This 12-year-old kid that the Democrats used in the Saturday radio address to whine and moan and cry to President Bush about the S-CHIP children's health program, it turns out that the family of this kid sends its kids to "one of Baltimore's expensive private schools." This family owns a house in a neighborhood of homes valued in the $400,000 to $500,000 range. This family bought commercial property in 1999 for $160,000.
This is Graeme Frost, the 12-year-old, and Frost's father is self-employed. He owns the building in which he works. His father makes about $45,000 a year while his mother is employed is at an unspecified salary by a medical publishing house that doesn't provide health insurance coverage. Bottom line. This is from Mark Tapscott, who is an editorial page editor at the Washington Examiner, has been tracking all this on the blogs. "Two points. First, people make choices and it's clear the Frosts have made choice to invest in property and a business, but not in private health insurance. The Maryland-administered version of the federal SCHIP program, by the way, does not impose an asset test on applicants." It's one of the states where you have no asset test, so anybody can be part of the program! What the Democrats did: "President Bush used his regular Saturday radio address yesterday to explain and defend his veto of the massive expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) approved last week by Congress. ... An hour later on national radio, the Democrats' response to Bush was delivered by Baltimore private middle school student Graeme Frost, who along with his sister was seriously injured in an auto accident three years ago.
"His response to Bush was actually recorded earlier in the week and Matthew Hay Brown, a reporter from The Baltimore Sun, interviewed the young man after he did his recording. Frost said his parents work hard to provide for him and his sister but one thing they can't afford is private health insurance, so they have to depend upon the government program, Brown reported for The Sun. Perfect illustration of why the SCHIP program should be expanded, right? Actually, no, because the Sun only reported the Democratic version of the story and we can't depend upon a mainstream media outlet like the Sun to get the rest of the story." Well, the rest of the story is: "It turns out the Frost family sends its kids to one of Baltimore's expensive private schools, owns a house in a neighborhood of homes valued in the $400,000-500,000 range and bought commercial property in 1999 for $160,000." What's the upshot of all this? This is nothing new. The Democrats lie! They have to in order to make their case. What was seductive to them was that this young man and his sister were severely injured in an auto accident, and they didn't have private insurance. "That's all we needed. That's all. Just smear the president. That's all we needed. We don't need any other details, because we know that our buddies in the mainstream media are not going to uncover the details, and if they do uncover 'em, they're not going to report 'em -- and when they do get uncovered a couple weeks later, a day later, the story is already ours. We already own it."
So the bottom line for me is: they can't rely on truth to make their case for their cause. They have to lie. Be it about me, be it about their own voters (such as the Frosts) be it about President Bush, they must lie -- and anybody who stands in the way of their succeeding with that lie becomes an enemy, becomes a target. That's where I and my buddies in talk radio come in. We are a thorn in their side because we represent the truth they are trying to hide, the truth that they are lying about, and they have to do something about it -- and they have to do that by lying. The truth will not help 'em. The truth is inconvenient to today's Democrat Party and today's left. "Fiction" is their byword. Make it up. Make sure people cry about it. Have a lot of emotion attached to the fiction, and have no guilt about it. "Once you get past the lying, the rest is easy," is their philosophy. The kid, Graeme Frost, in one of his radio addresses, asked the question: "Why doesn't President Bush want children to have health care?" They send the kid out to lie. They filled this kid's head with lies just as they have some of these soldiers about me. Put lies in the kid's head or put it on the script that he's reading. He goes out and reads it. He's 12 years old! They will use anybody! They'll corrupt anybody, to get where they're headed. That's who they are, folks.
Hey, fake documents, fake soldiers, and now fake victims (as if Anita Hill was real). DemocRATS - the party of fantasy.
Democrats lie cheat steal and kill for power.
And in other cities, the Democrats have given impoverished Americans high-rise public housing filled with drugs, murders, rapes, gangs, broken elevators, lack of heat, shootouts with cops, etc.
Absolutely......I am doing the same thing in my just opened private law business....sheesh, how stupid do the Democrats think people are.......
Great collection of links.
Excellent compilation, good place to bump this thread.
Thanks, I’m putting it on my homepage in the next couple of minutes for anyone to find and use.
Hey Everyone...
How about hitting that FreepTheEye button and put a couple dollars in the piggy bank for Free Republic? If it werent for Jim and his generosity and perseverance, this kind of stuff wouldnt be happening. And we know this is one of the few things Hilliarity wont pay for...snickers.
So if you havent already, go give something in appreciation.
Thanks Jim for making this possible.

Over the weekend, I posted a couple of things re Graeme Frost, the Democratic Party’s 12-year old healthcare spokesman. Michelle Malkin reports that the blogospheric lefties are all steamed about the wingnuts’ Swiftboating of sick kids, etc.
Sorry, no sale. The Democrats chose to outsource their airtime to a Seventh Grader. If a political party is desperate enough to send a boy to do a man’s job, then the boy is fair game. As it is, the Dems do enough cynical and opportunist hiding behind biography and identity, and it’s incredibly tedious. And anytime I send my seven-year-old out to argue policy you’re welcome to clobber him, too. The alternative is a world in which genuine debate is ended and, as happened with Master Frost, politics dwindles down to professional staffers writing scripts to be mouthed by Equity moppets.
The story I've heard is that it was a one-car accident ... skidded on ice into a tree.
19. Did Mr Frost not have car insurance either? Helping the sub-human freeperscum smack a 12-year-old-kid around is not the point of this post, obviously.
The fact that the kids were injured in a car crash jumped out at me. A big hunk of what you pay for car insurance is to cover the medical expenses regardless of who's at fault in the crash. So I wondered why S-CHIP would be paying for anything related to a motor vehicle accident...shouldn't the car insurance be paying the medical bills?
Clearly we don't have all the facts, so anything and everything is speculation, but that one thing struck me as a little strange.
I heard him today when he started talking about the liars of the left. He also got that from us FReepers. I’ve commented on it a number of times, as have others.
Hey Doc - Send it to the talk show hosts while it’s hot. That’s good stuff - enough to keep it alive another day you’d think.
Just gotta keep changing minds, ya know...
Hopefully, someone that has a 24/7 account with Rush could send him the info. I just tried, but don’t have an account.
Thank you very much, donnab!!
