Bill Press Thinks Recess Protests Will HELP Dems Pass ObamaCare

This press neglect would be intended, one would think, to protect these officials and the plans they seek to enact. Televising constituents railing at their representatives for attempting to rapidly advance the Big Government ball would be considered in most quarters unhelpful in rapidly advancing the Big Government ball.

But not according to pseudo-syndicated liberal radio talk show host Bill Press. On this morning's America's Newsroom on the Fox News Channel, Press told co-host Megyn Kelly that he thinks the protesters are just "people who are anti-anything the government has anything to do with." He said they are "just out to disrupt and to deny any legitimate debate. That's not the American way, I think they're turning people off."

The more Americans that stand up and say, “NO!” to Obamacare, the better chance it has to be passed? If that is true, then we are no longer a republic, we have already crossed over into fascism.

That's the whole point: they want to STOP us from standing up and speaking our minds. And THAT'S fascism.

ABC Nightly News just showed a :02 + story, by Jake Tapper (boo Jake), that was entirely about how these protests are "orchestrated" (their word) by Republicans and right-wing interest groups.

In the eight years of unrelenting protests against Bush, both at home and abroad, I can't think of a SINGLE news story that explored, even in a peripheral way, the possibility that they were orchestrated and funded by left-wing interest groups. Can anyone else?

He’s not stupid. Bill Press is just a shill to the end. He’s no different than say Baghdad Bob.

In fact, they are more alike than not.

28.6% of the public believes everything Bill Press says.

Which is actually is very strong number, considering only 4% of the public know who Bill Press is.

As soon as the Democrats send anyone out smart enough to debate (including Congressmen/Cabinet officials) we will debate them. Otherwise, Bill Press (Obama/Democrat *ss kisser) SHUT UP!

That’s dead on balls accurate. According to the LSM, International Answer and Code Pink were just moderate Americans protesting.

They can “want” to stop us until the cows come home, but it isn’t working. The more they tell us that we’d better sit down and shut up, the louder we’ll get and others will finally hear the truth about ObamaCare and join in.

That 28.6% includes a large number of people who have difficult remembering their own names, much less the name "Bill Press".

Long term drug use has a negative side.

Bill Press is a mental midget. Toss him a few pennies and move on...

Has he taken to a tin cup on the street corner yet? That’s about all he’s qualified to do (intellectually).

I dunno - I think Bill Press IS stupid. Remember this guy? Notra Trulock, former director of Counter-Intelligence at the Department of Energy, who was the whistleblower in the case of Los Alamos nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee.

One night on CNN's old Crossfire show discussing the case, Bill Press blurted out: "What about Nora Turlock? Has anybody heard from her?? "

“I am sick and tired of people who call you unpatriotic if you debate this administration’s policies.”

Don’t be upset over leftist insults. It’s what they do.

Hurl insults back: Bill Press buys tweezers by the case so he can fish out his schwantz and pee in the girl’s bathroom.

We’re at war now, so it’s okay to insult leftist morons.

Have fun.

The protests are working otherwise that douche bag would not go on TV to complain about them. I’m going to go to one if possible just to boo them sons of b*****s.

And I’m willing to bet that more people SAW Press on Fox than LISTEN to his radio show.

Obama thought he had this thing locked....

1. Majority in house...check
2. 60 votes in Senate...check
3. RINOs.....check
4. MSM in back pocket....check
5. ACORN....check
6. Insurance companies bought off or intimidated.....check
7. AMA.....check

Then, mere weeks away from picking out the signature pen, a bunch of slack-jawed yocals decided to hold a tea party.

Dang, these peons and serfs have a way of messing things up.

The best possible outcome would be for the Dems to ram this bill through and have Obama sign it. The anger generated by such a Fascist act would sweep them out of office like a tsunami. The Republicans could then repeal this atrocity before it even takes effect. Of course, you never want to leave this sort of thing to chance, so we need to keep getting the truth out to everyone and anyone.

Perhaps. But in 2010 the Republican controlled Senate and House will repeal it and override the President’s veto.

If we do it JUST for shock value he’s right; if we keep raising the issues, he’s dead wrong!
