PENNSYLTUCKY'S CODGERS & CRANKS AGAIN
My rights are being violated. God will judge you and your cronies.
It was only a matter of time until Pennsyltucky's well-established right-wing tribe of butthurt codgers and cranks found themselves in the limelight once again, filling up the joint with a big angry and confused noise. You really don't need to be told how they feel, you already know.
What? No swastikas?

The New York Times did its usual really bad job when covering this weird and deeply screwed-up demographic, sending two reporters, Ian Urbina and the buffoon known as Katharine Q. Seelye.
"But most of those who spoke [at the town hall meeting in PA] seemed unlikely to vote in the Democratic primary," they wrote. "Many seemed concerned about issues that are either not in the health care legislation or are peripheral to the debate in Washington — abortion, euthanasia, coverage of immigrants, privacy."
Neither Urbina or Seely indicated which of these issues were not in the legislation. Or that which has nothing to do with truth because it's 'deather' rubbish.
" 'It says plainly right there they want to limit the type of care elderly can get,' said Laurel Tobias, an office manager from Lebanon, referring to a bill in the House. 'They are talking about killing people.' "
Bob Somerby at the Daily Howler would say you can't have a democracy when you have reporters who perform like such clowns. When a local ignoramus in front of the microphone erupts that the government wants to kill off Mammy and Pap, the right thing to do is not to waffle and write a qualifying sentence about the issue maybe not being in the healthcare reform legislation.
The right thing to do, the intelligent thing, is to flatly state that many of the people in attendance seemed to believe a myth, a cruel hoax, a lie that there is a government plan to kill off grandmas to save health costs.
Previously -- on butthurt codgers and cranks against Obama in Pennsyltucky.
