Here is video of MSNBC's Ed Schultz talking with a liberal panel about the revolt of Left against the Obama White House's Health Care Plan in the U.S. Senate.
Schultz talked with Lanny Davis first, who has criticized the Left for revolting against the President and the Democrats' Health Care Bill in the Senate. Davis as much as made the case for just getting something passed now, saying "we can improve it next year."
Schultz argued with Davis that the Obama plan is not standing up for the uninsured, but "for the insurance companies." He called the current plan a "sellout."
Schultz then brought in liberal Jane Hamsher from Firedoglake blog who went after Davis, saying he is partner in a law firm that is representing many pharmaceutical companies.
Davis then blasted Hamsher for her attacks on Joe Lieberman's wife. The two went back and forth with rather personal attacks.
Toward the end of the video, Schultz talked to Laura Flanders and a representative from the Heritage Foundation. Flanders supported Hamsher's attacks on Lanny Davis.
The last few days have shown example after example of the Left in disarray. Joe Lieberman was treated shabbily today by Al Franken on the Senate Floor, and yesterday saw Howard Dean and Mary Landrieu in a heated exchange on the Christ Matthews show.

Should we get more popcorn? This could be fun. I will be relieved if the liberals eating their own results in a stake being driven through the heart of this healthcare “reform”.
Who was the idiot from Heritage that went on the talking horse’s show? No conservative or Republican should appear on any MSNBC show.
This is the point Steyn was making in a column a couple of months ago and why we should be doing everything we can to keep any bill from being passed.
Once a health-care reform is passed into law, it will only get bigger. The Dems know that it will be impossible to kill at that point and they will eventually get what they want.
Lanny Davis ping... ;-)
I just heard Lanny Davis say all the Democrats in the Senate are Liberals. “Every liberal in the senate” so he tagged all 60 of them.
Actually it’s not true - because some of them are communists!
This is about setting us a control framework. The GOP should not be the party of no, they should be the party of Hell no.
Rat Fight!!
“We can improve it next year” Lanny? Next year, the GOP will be controlling the Congress.
Wait a minute... someone from The Heritage Foundation supported Hamsher? That woman is a scorge.....
Landrieu vs. Dean? I missed that, but I suspect the former defended 0bama Plan while the latter wanted to scrap and start over again...
