Oppose ObamaCare? You're 'Undermining The Country'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/24/2009 7:32:59 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Latest dispatch from the "dissent is patriotic" front: if you oppose Pres. Obama in his health care initiative, you're "undermining the country."

None less than the great Howard Dean said so on this evening's Rachel Maddow show. Alison Stewart was filling in for the eponymous host.

Instead of winning over moderates they are digging their own political grave.

The shirt is white, what a racist! oops?

Medicare has already impossibly undermined the country with tens of trillions of unfunded and unfundable mandates...expansion of same further advances financial insolvency and destabilizes the country politically as well. False charge.

So let me get this straight:

Protesting against the US during wartime is not undermining the country, but protesting against a socialistic takeover of the health care industry is?

What planet are these idiots from?

Amen to that, and keep up the good work!

Yet during former President Bush's administration many liberals/socialists committed treason during a shooting war. No other word for it, they offered aide and comfort to terrorist organizations. To their hypocritical way of thinking, treason in wartime == ok, oppose a socialist program that will damage the Country, and you're scum.

Ew-Howard looks a bit crazy in that still shot, I wonder if he is off his meds or something?

And as for the newest tactic...the line..." Oppose ObamaCare? You're 'Undermining The Country' ( LOL ) well, I kinda sorta don'ta think that is going to fly. Hee hee! (Seriously, isn't there something genuinely shaky and rather nutty about this sorry little man?)

On an older thread I asked for a memory jog on everything we’ve been called.

Dean is now calling us underminers of the country, Waters just called us Neanderthals. We’ve had unAmerican, Nazis, terrorists, racists, mob members .... what else and who has used these terms?

Wait ‘til they see what kind of undermining will occur if this abortion is passed and people finally find out what sort of bull-Obama they’ve been sold.

Undermining will be an understatement.

I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you’re not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration.

I won’t post a link to the actual hag who said it, but you get the idea. :)

Yeah and Hillary Clinton said so herself!

And didn’t Pelosi say something to the affect of “I like disruptors.”
