I remember the crowd reaction at the NAACP when the story was about ‘sticking it to whitey’.
Somehow the media was all up in arms about how the story came full circle and the speaker decided that ‘sticking it to whitey’ was not productive, so therefore the clip of the audience reaction was somehow “out of context”.
The audience at the NAACP didn’t know where the story was going - they cheered a black woman using the power of government to discriminate against white people.
Good point. These Dems who are concerned about a hypothetical deadbeat were the same people who approved the murder of Terry Schievo.
who cares what they say anymore- they obviously missed the point.
The audience member was responding to the IDOCY of the question, not expressing an actual desire for death of a less fortunate.
Ron Paul's BRILLIANT answer was lost in all this discussion over an audience jeer- which is probably their intention.
He [Paul] said that before the government took over everything people were never turned away from hospitals or churches when they needed help.
No one was left dying in the streets because THE GOVERNMENT was not mandating it.
It is not a Government or Nothing problem, as the question implies.
All Republicans should practice this answer:
"It is not a 'Government or Nothing' problem. For the money the government wastes helping this ONE person, private charities could have helped THREE"
Another Libtard. Another Axelrod inspired lie.
[Art.] Jacob Weisberg of Slate called the audience reaction “medieval,” Tommy Christopher of Mediaite called it “ugly” and “ghoulish” and many news organizations carried the story that Ron Paul’s former campaign manager, a libertarian, died at age 49 in 2008 from viral pneumonia, was uninsured and left $400,000 in medical bills for his mother and friends to pay.
That's the payload -- ugly, piggish, nasty, hateful, love-to-hurt Rethuglicans! And mind that Blitzer was in on the play, because he broached the subject with Ron Paul.
This was a called MSM play on Ron Paul and the GOP -- they went to Paul because he'd be most likely to say, "well, the guy wouldn't buy insurance, so he is responsible for his own bills", which they could then spin. But the audience rooting for Paul and against the obvious "throw Granny in the snow" headline play, gave them their peg -- Monstrous Rethuglicans Et Cetera.
