This black notion of “disrespect” just nauseates me, that any criticism is not respectful, what a crock.

Former Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius:

“You can talk to Dr. Gruber about what he said, but I don’t have a comment about his comments. Anything else,” she said.

The 100,000 th example of uber liberal bias. But we all know it here and it seems that the stupid voters that Gruber talks about are stupid and cant think or process any of this.

BTW, the problem with Grubers comments was not that he thought the voters were stupid (they are stupid in that they can be easily manipulated), it is that he had no shame in deceiving to get what he wanted.

Are FOX and CNBC connected other than being news networks? Maybe I’m missing something here...

[jsanders2001]

Never mind. Didn’t see that she used to work for them before....

[lowbridge]

I wonder if they ever silenced any of their reporters for “disrespecting the office of the president” when bush was in office. /rhetorical

[maggief]

An anchor (Melissa Francis) for Fox Business Network who used to work for CNBC ...

She was a child actress as well. Played in “Little House On The Prairie”. She was a cutie.

I agree, in spades (heh, heh).

It's even worse than that--she wasn't even criticizing, she was analyzing and stating her opinion on a technical aspect of a proposed law--i.e., its cost. She was discussing potential policy, not editorializing on the President--which might come closer to the notion of disrespect, but should be fair game anyway.

Melissa Gilbert?

[rainee]

I didn’t know that was her!
I remember her from some of the episodes..

GOOD FIND! Conservatives every should be making a concentrated effort to discredit the media and make low information voters aware of how they are being manipulated.

People need to question the motives behind leftist media.

Melissa Francis: CNBC Told Me Not to Criticize Obamacare http://bit.ly/1xG4D3m via @BreitbartNews

“When I was at CNBC, I pointed out to my viewers that the math of Obamacare simply didn't work. Not the politics by the way, just the basic math. And when I did that, I was silenced. I said on the air, that you couldn't add millions of people to the system and force insurance companies to cover their preexisting conditions without raising the price on everyone else. I pointed out that it couldn't possibly be true that if you like your plan you can keep it. That was a lie, and in fact, millions of people had their insurance canceled. As a result of what I said at CNBC, I was called into management where I was told, that I was quote, ‘disrespecting the office of the president’ by telling, what turned out to be the absolute truth” she stated.

“...telling her she was “disrespecting the office of the president” by pointing out that Obamacare’s math didn’t add up. “

If this is true it is out and out crazy!
