Wingnut Healthcare


It's amazing to think how barely two years ago the 'nuts were all atwitter, ready to move heaven and earth REGARDLESS of cost when it was Terry Schiavo...who we now know suffered from severe, incurable brain damage that no amount of money could repair.

You'd think that being so thoroughly discredited in the Schiavo matter would permanently disqualify these loons from consideration when it comes to health care issues...but there they go again, screeching, bitching, hollering, and otherwise making fools of themselves, demanding that a family go bankrupt to pay for health care. Yet yer slack-jawed media plays along, ensuring space for the latest Stormtrooper insanity, though interestingly, providing no addional "balance" (say for example, providing time to advocates of a single payer system).

But I digress: my point is simply that, just like you don't GO to quack physicians when you're sick, you can't take seriously ANY point of view advocated by quacks when it comes to health care POLICY. And if the Terry Schiavo case didn't prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that yer wingnut position on health care equals the lunatic position on health care, than it's impossible to prove ANYTHING beyond the shadow of a doubt.

And if that's the case, we might as well turn to a heavy dose of Daffy, because that might be the only thing that'll help.
