Invitation to Keith Olbermann

February 13, 2009

NEW YORK, Feb. 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is from Betsy McCaughey, Ph.D., the author of the recent Bloomberg.com article, "Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan."

If Keith Olbermann of MSNBC could defend the health provisions slipped into the stimulus bill on their merits, he wouldn't be resorting to personal attacks on me. Olbermann calls me a shill funded by the drug industry (2-12-2009). That's not true.

I am not paid by the pharmaceutical industry or by the Hudson Institute. I hold only an honorary Fellows position at Hudson, and take no money or benefits from it. If Keith Olbermann has the courage, I invite him to debate me on his program.

The Obama administration promised transparency, but gave us a sleight of hand. Slipped into the stimulus bill are provisions that change healthcare in major ways. If these provisions are so good for us, why are they hidden in a stimulus bill and rushed through Congress?

This is not necessary on Free Republic. Calling Olberman a gay slur reminds me of a 7th grade school bus argument. When you’re right, you don’t need to resort to name calling.

He sure looks like he's got his mouth in the right position if he's not gay.

I’ve never seen so many “removed by moderator” posts. Is there an elephant’s graveyard or something where we can go and read them?

I thought that he lived with his mother and a cat?
