Patty Murray and Harry Reid Attack the Victims of Obamacare
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | February 28, 2014 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 02/28/2014 6:02:41 PM PST by Kaslin

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Patty Murray, senator from Washington, on the Senate floor yesterday urged people to stop listening to me 'cause I am, along with Fox News, part of the cabal spreading lies about all these people who are suffering after Obamacare. She says like Harry Reid, it's all lies. There are no problems. Nobody's having a problem. Nobody's been cancelled. Nobody. Harry Reid's actually out there and said that: It's all lies. Here grab the sound bite. This is Patty Murray on the Senate floor speaking about Obamacare yesterday.

MURRAY: I hope that everybody can turn off the Fox News for a little while and not listening to Rush Limbaugh and really listen to some real stories of real-life Americans who have been impacted by this law.

RUSH: I'll tell you what's happening. There are massive amounts, massive numbers of victims of Obamacare. You know them and I know them, and they've been all over television and all over the news. People have lost their policies. People that have lost their doctors. There are cancer patients who can't get treated. Remember the story about, what was it, 200 young kids with cancer who are unable to get treatment? Of course it's not true.

It just is not true! It's me and Fox News making all that up. What you really have here is the Democrat Party assaulting the victims of Obamacare, saying they're liars. You have Harry Reid and now Patty Murray basically attacking ordinary people, claiming that all of these stories of suffering have been invented by Rush Limbaugh and Fox News. Here's Dingy Harry. This is Wednesday in Washington on the Senate floor.

REID: (whispering) There's plenty of horror stories being told. All of them are untrue, but they're being told all over America -- tales, stories made up from whole cloth, lies, distorted by the Republicans to grab headlines or make political advertisements.

RUSH: Honestly, I don't know that anybody knows how to deal with this. I mean, the numbers are in the tens of thousands of people who have been harmed to one degree or another, some seriously, by Obamacare -- and here comes the Senate majority leader just saying it's all lies, all made up by the Republicans. You people in the audience, you need to understand this. This is not the Democrats attacking me. It's not the Democrats attacking Fox News.

They're calling you liars.

All of you people who claim that you have been harmed or un-serviced or somehow mistreated or left out in the cold because of HealthCare.gov, you're making it up. The Democrat Party is attacking you. They're calling you liars. This morning on Fox News Fox & Friends, the cohost, Elisabeth Hasselbeck interviewed Eileen Benthal, a mother whose daughter has had 89 operations in her life, is now facing uncertainty because of Obamacare.

First Elisabeth Hasselbeck played a clip of Dingy Harry saying -- well, you just heard. Everybody making this up. It's all lies and these stories are not true. After playing Dingy Harry, Hasselbeck then said, "Your daughter was born with congenital malformations in her brain. She has undergone 89 surgeries in her life. Thanks to Obamacare, your family is stuck on an insurance roller coaster. I could feel you breathing and holding your breath watching Harry Reid make those remarks. How did you initially hear them, and what was your reaction?"

BENTHAL: I was so offended. You know, here I was sitting at my daughter's bedside, and I've spent the last three months, it's been more than a part-time job for me to secure insurance after our termination that happened in the fall. So I've worked diligently and advocated for the health care that we once had which we don't have anymore, and it's taken a lot of effort, a lot of time, a lot of difficulty. We have lost one doctor. We lost all coverage for out of New York State.

Patty Murray, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, all fit into a late comedian’s true to life joke: “everyone has the right to be ugly and stupid, unfortunately some abuse the privilege.”

year after year, Patsy Murphy is voted by legislative committee staff as the dumbest person in Congress.

I have comfort knowing she’s my senior state senator, rising, like sh*t floating, to No.2 in the Senate.

Does that mean that if Dingy Harry kicks off (unlikely anytime soon since old leftists live forever it seems) Patty is the new Senate major domo?

You have to hope some good conservative PAC in Utah has the cash to buy some prime TV time and put these “liars” on to tell their stories.

It’s a shame that schmuck Keef Olberman already co-opted the “Worst Person in the World” meme, because that designation certainly applies to Harry Reid.

Patty Murray: moron in tennis shoes.

Without the shoes, her IQ would be in the low single digits.

Absolutely disgusting. Time for a recall, and a repeal of the 17th and 19th Amendments. And reinstatement of property ownership or taxes paid in order to vote.

You and I both (plus my wife). Thanks to the “Affordable” Healthcare Act we can no longer afford it and are currently uninsured. The ACA raised our rates by almost triple when it was said and done. I could probably gather a pretty long list of names to hand to Ms. Murray that has had the same thing happen to them. Ms. Murray and her cohorts are out of touch with reality. Unlike her administration which lies and distorts the truth, FoxNews is only reporting it (the truth).

I was surprised to see that Ms. Patty only won by 4 points in the 2010 election. That’s not much of a cushion for such a beloved Democrat operative.

I rarely listen to FOx or Rush but I know people who have lost their health ins due to Obamacare. Funny they have all voted for Obama.

Geeze I can’t believe Republican leaders are afraid of these looneys.

I’ve run her people off my front porch in the past. Next time she runs, I may be carrying a shotgun.

Patty Murray needs a date with a rope and a lamp post.

Patty was a middle school P.E. coach. Now she’s head of the Senate Budget committee.

She won based on some catchy slogan about a “mom in tennis shoes.”

She majored in the easiest major and now she’s head of the senate budget committee? IS THAT THE BEST THE DEMOS HAVE TO OFFER?
