Classic. That Craig T. Nelson bit was fantastic.

Will liberals step up to the plate?

Many liberals are furious over the possibility of losing the public option, and they’re pissed at President Obama for hinting that he could support a bill without it. One problem, however, has been the simple fact that the angry right has been out-organizing the left when it comes to health care.

That may be changing, as the Huffington Post reports that liberals are starting to out-number the health care opponents and screamers at the town hall events.

This can help, but they need much more. If they want to sway wavering members of Congress, then they have to do a better job of mobilizing support for health care reform and the public option.

I support the public option, but I’m not willing to kill health care reform if we have to settle for co-ops instead.

Glenn Beck completely contradicts himself

Jon Stewart calls out Beck for grossly flip-flopping on the quality of U.S. health care. Beck has either lost his mind or is a total hypocrite. You be the judge.

The bit starts at the 0:30 mark.

I’m all for the debate, but when you have loons like Beck running around stoking the fears of the ignorant, it’s a recipe for chaos.

Maybe that’s what the anti-reform people want.

The status of the health care debate

Ezra Klein has an excellent summary of the health care debate and where it currently stands. He does a great job of separating the actual policy debates going on in Congress from some of the silly issues being argued by the public.

Sarah Palin sinks to a new low

She’s a national embarrassment.

The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.

This is what the right in America has come to, which shouldn’t be a surprise when one celebrates ignorance and mediocrity.

Does health care really need to be for-profit?

Wouldn’t a not-for-profit system work better, at least with respect to hospitals?
