As near as I can tell, the right-wing blogosphere has spent the past three years fantasizing obsessively about uncovering a new Rathergate. It was their great triumph (Blog of the Year from Time magazine!), and now it seems like hardly a month goes by without the hysterical discovery of yet another faked photo, planted note, or lying liberal. Almost without fail, though, they turn out to be.....wrong. Embarrassingly, completely, unquestionably, flat-on-their-faces wrong.
But they don't give up. The latest example is 12-year-old Graeme Frost, whose great sin was to tape a radio address supporting expansion of the SCHIP children's health program. Unsurprisingly, the latest crackpot loony brigade is headed up by the chief crackpot, Michelle Malkin, who has distinguished herself by staking out Graeme's house and grilling his father's friends. Other members of the brigade have dug up property records, scoured wedding announcements, checked out school websites, and when trash day comes will probably be rooting through their garbage barrels.
And the point of all this? To "prove" that the Frosts are secret zillionaires who don't deserve government help with their medical bills. In this, the loon brigade is, as usual, embarrassingly, completely, unquestionably, flat-on-their-faces wrong. I'll give you one guess about whether that's going to stop them.
Liberals are soooo cute when they’re angry.
Did I misread this, where’s the “flat on their face” wrong part?
They just hate it when we are right all the time.
obviously you are missing the entire point...rat-wingers don’t need facts; they just throw sh!t out there and it’s true...
as with See BS, it’s up to everyone else to prove false their stories and reports...and even then they proven as a lie rat-wingers still question the evidence, not being able to back up their own original statements or stories...
I didn’t see any facts.
Liberals don’t need facts, all they need is feeeelings.
Nope. CBS News appears to be a fact free zone.
Conservative:
Here’s fact one, proof two, example three, etc etc etc.
“Liberal” screaming with his hands in his ears:
“You’re wrong! Wrong! Wrong!”
Yes, I kept waiting to see their facts and why us crackpots were wrong about the Frosts.
Oh, another thing typically liberal -
notice there’s no links or email address which you might reply and ask for more clarification of little Kev’s position.
Ooh. That really irks them. You have to have an Associate's Degree in Journalism from South Central LA Community College before you can be allowed to do that...
Uh, hello? This is called JOURNALISM, its what the folks in the MSM do to conservatives/republicans all the time. Now, if the MSM had been doing its job fairly, they would have known about this already..
Heck, this family is one of the rich families that the left would like to hammer with more taxes to expand government programs.
Of course not; were talking about seeBS here. If ypou want facts check Free Reupblic.
They didn't need any proof then and they sure don't need any now.
I understand that the Frost’s would want to find some way to have their children’s medical bills paid rather than have the bills show up on their credit rating. I understand that even with some employer-provided health coverage, the bills are often more than the insurance will cover. However, the American dream has always been filled with ups and downs, triumph and tragedy. One of the tragedies of life is that you can lose it all in the blink of an eye. Sometimes you reach a point when you have to declare bankruptcy. Sometimes you have to sell everything you have. It does not mean you will never be a success. It’s life.
The Frosts’ case reminds me of the folks who try to hide Grandma’s money prior to putting Grandma in a nursing home. If they don’t, they lose all of Grandma’s assets because they can’t get Medicare/Medicaid to cover Grandma’s nursing home bills until her assets are all gone. The Frosts are hiding their assets in order to pay little to cover their children’s medical bills. But I could be wrong. Maybe they don’t have more than $47K/year to live on. Maybe their parents don’t help them out at all.
That’s true! This is the logic of the left.
Hey, Mr. Drum, sux when the left’s lies get exposed, don’t it?
All liberals, excuuuuse me, “progressives”, want their subjects on the plantation, and when it comes to said subjects hearing the truth about your party, you throw a hissy fit.
