Another proud moment in the Health Care debates. I had to have buddy, Dr. Siegel, explain the idiotic logic being employed by the “Obama is Hitler” crowd opposing health care reform. Follow along carefully, it’s a hazardous journey into poor logic and bad language skills: according to these nuts the government wants to take over health care which is a form of socialism and it’s a national program, so what Obama is proposing is national socialism which is what the word “Nazi” came from. Therefore Obama is Hitler. Yeah. I have to agree with Barney Frank. This isn’t even English. It’s bad enough that the whole world thinks that we are stupid because of the eight-years of W. Now we’ve got crazies wanting to block health care reform because… well, because their fucking crazy. Sad.
And just in case you’re not pissed off enough about the disinformation about health care reform being slathered about by the conservatives… here’s the first of three parts of Jon Stewart trying to talk about policy with Betsy McCaughey, Former Lt. Governor of New York:
