They can get away with this because the media keeps it from becoming a story. Had that been Rush Limbaugh, the NYT would run a complete front page spread. Liberals would be calling for a national "discussion" on hate speech - which would bring about the first wave of censorship disguised as an "anti discrimination" doctrine.

Makes "Sandra Fluke sounds like a slut," which made national news and drew faux-outrage, sound tame and harmless by comparison.
Quote:MALLOY: And wing nut radio host Mark Levin or Levin said yesterday, 'the Republican leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, just stabbed Ted Cruz and Mike Lee in the back! Oh, what if that were true? Oh my God, oh my God! Mitch! I tell you what! I'll make you a deal! I'll provide the butcher knife!
But wait... According to Paul Krugman, "vitriolic rhetoric" is only coming from the right. So that quote must be entirely fabricated.

First off, who the hell are Thom Hartmann, Mike Malloy and Jesse LaGreca?
Second, their comments were idiotic and not indicative of liberals in general.
Cruz did nothing but hurt himself and his party and help Obama in the process. Especially with his reading of a story where a curmudgeon hates something he's never had until he tries it and then he loves it. You just can't make this **** up!

I occasionally listen to Thom Hartmann(I believe he even has a "show" on RT). The second sounds familiar but not sure I have ever heard him before. THe third I have never heard of.

Bull schitt. The liberal left would love nothing less than the erradication of all things conservative. Just look at their christian hate, as example.

I am pretty certain Cruz could give two ***** about what the dopes in the Republican Party think.

He doesn't like the green eggs until he tries them. Holy Shnitkes! GREAT POINT!
But here's the big difference. His dislike of green eggs and ham was an irrational dislike based upon no evidence. The empirical evidence says that Obamacare cannot work. Consider:
- We are supposedly increasing demand by adding 30 million insureds (although it's looking like that number is going to be a lot smaller, and the NET number might end up negative).
- We are supposedly cutting costs by paying docs and other providers less to do more. How and why that's not going to reduce both quantity and quality of supply at some point is difficult to impossible to imagine.
- So we are increasing demand and decreasing supply, an approach that has never in recorded history had any result but to create shortages, queues, delays, and poor quality of goods and/or services.
Disagree? Please begin your disagreement by pointing out an example that ended differently. Feel free to search any place and any time in all of history to find your example.
Everyone will have health insurance. Nobody will have health care. It can't end any other way.

Then find another book to read. That's all I'm pointing out. It was a dumb angle.
I understand that. I wonder if it wasn't an attempt at satire, or maybe irony, probably a poorly placed attempt given the context. Then again, he went to Princeton and Harvard, so this could have been an Ivy League attempt at humor that goes over everyone else's head.
But do you have an answer for my question?
