By now, you've already witnessed the anger of those who are opposed to national health care. Their anger has been all over the blogs, email, comments sections of newspapers and big box websites and the dreaded Facebook during the past 24 hours (and many since January 2009). I like my Facebook account because I have almost no time for anything anymore, but I do manage to update my status daily and try to respond to comments and leave comments for folks once a day as well.
As such, after making a big dent in my writing project last night, I cruised around Facebook as a treat. (Let's leave the muffle snark on the floor, please.) These are the comments that amused me as I strolled by others page:
I voted no and I don't agree with those who voted yes. [Apparently my friend is a Congressperson.]
I hate it when I wake up in the morning and Barack Obama is President. [She followed that post with this post two minutes later: XXX is watching Dancing with the Stars for the first time ever. Shannen looks great- love her. Is this show like American Idol except with dancing? Can the public call in and pick who they like or do the judges decide? --Yep, that's priorities.]
Nothing but a radical, Leftist, Marxist, anti-American Dem!! [A friend of a friend's commentary on Nancy Pelosi.]
One took a stand and linked to this.
These Marxist bastards have no idea what is coming for them. [After sorting around a bit, I noted this is actually plagiarized from Pajamas Media.]
While I am not going to throw wood on the fire of others, I am going to point out when folks are thinking and talking like garden gnomes.

Do we have national healthcare now? That would be great.
ReplyDeleteFear and ignorance are a crippling combination.
ReplyDeleteFish is bitter because he voted for Shannon.
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to figure out how this is "government-run health care" when there isn't a public option. Then I remembered I was applying logic to wingnuttery.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the people who either 1) claim the bill is unconstitutional, which basically requires them to ignore all of the current precedent; or 2) claim it's constitutional for the wrong reasons, which puts my teeth on edge. Here's a hint, would-be constitutional scholars: if your argument relies solely on the text, you're wrong. Just trust me: you're wrong.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was on a certain FB page today to see what KPP had to say. I bet she is screaming her little head off. I just want to suggest to her, "Go outside and pet the kittens and smell the flowers."
ReplyDeleteI need more stupid friends for this kind of fodder.
