Notorious DUer Will Pitt Turns Angrily Against Obamacare
NewsBusters ^ | March 19, 2014 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 03/19/2014 11:35:39 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

Harry Reid is going to have a hard time portraying Will as a Koch brothers shill...

William Rivers Pitt, a leftwing editor at TruthOut,  whose foibles have been chronicled in NewsBusters and is probably best known for his journalism "scoop" of predicting the indictment of Karl Rove on May 12, 2006, is back in the spotlight again. While waiting 24 business hours to elapse for the Rove indictment to finally take place, Pitt shocked many at the Democratic Underground by posting an extremely angry attack, What I've learned about the Affordable Care Act, upon Obamacare due to a bad personal experience with it. In order to fully appreciate how far Pitt has turned against Obamacare, we need to go to his DU post back in December when he was proclaiming his love for Obama's signature plan...before he even experienced it:

I thank this lefty for being honest and good luck to his wife with the MS.

I'm with you on that. I read his statement/rant, and he put the blame squarely on Obama. He didn't try to shift the blame to the House Republicans, or to the Tea Partiers, or to Rush Limbaugh. He blamed Obama for this disaster. And of course he is correct.

It’s interesting that many of Pitt’s responders are blaming the Republicans (I take that’s what they mean when they say ReThuglican), however...

The ACA passed without ANY Republican votes. Not one. A TOTAL democratic party bill.

So, blaming the Republicans is factually wrong.

“I thank this lefty for being honest and good luck to his wife with the MS. Which is what his beef is about....

Seems 0-Kare does not cover his wife’s MS medications which one can guess are expoensive”

That’s why the old “if you like your health care you can keep it” lie was so critical. Because the sheeple that had insurance figured, “it’s not gonna affect me” so they let everyone else be thrown to the wolves. And all was fine. Until they found out that they were the next in line for the wolves meal.

And the thing about lefties is...suppose Pitt finds a way to get his wife’s meds approved? Then he’ll go right back to loving Obamacare. And to hell with anyone else. Selfish bastards, all of them.

I blame Obama AND his party. Please do not let Nancy Pelosi off the hook, as she laughed at us all with her lavender pantsuit and giant gavel walk, where Elijah Cummings SWORE he was spit on by TEA partiers who called him the N-word (with nothing like it in photos or video tape seen), or Harry Reid for all his sweetheart deals and strong arming his fellow democrats to vote for it.

And Deval Patrick and the democrats of Massachusetts. Even after Scott Brown was elected, they delayed seating him until Temporary democrat Kirk voted Yea.

The democrats ARE to blame. They own it along with Obama!

The people at that site are certified PSYCHO!!

First, it’s republican’s fault because they blocked legislation that would make obamacare perfect (hello!!! reid would not allow one freaking amendment by the republicans, and not one voted for obamcare!)

Second, it’s not zero’s fault because he tried his best, and had to start somewhere, and don’t worry, it’s only the beginning (three freaking years later) and zero will fix it!

The sycophantic worship of zero over there is disturbing and disgusting.

I would love to see pictures of the posters at that site, they all must have brown lips from kissing zero’s b#tt!!!!!

Here’s my earnest advice. Drop the grudges. Drop the “right” to pillory him. Say to the prodigal, “Welcome home.”

The difference is the prodigal son changed; liberal's don't. They get burned by the fire, then reach right back in, as soon as the rest of us fix what they screwed up. Besides, it's much more satisfying to say, "FU very much, dumb-a$$."

The “covers” would be labeled.

“Left to Right”

and

“Right to Left”

The idea is to show the alternate realities that exist in our current cultural/political system.

I have recently discovered (in real life mind you) that it is quite useful to “forgive” even those who don’t ask for forgiveness.

Two reasons: one, it liberates one from the cancerous contempt (not to mention hate) that is inevitably associated with unresolved conflict. Anyone who insists, “it doesn’t bother me” is lying.

Two, it’s ok to say to yourself, “I forgive this person, first for not asking forgiveness from me”, because that (not asking for forgiveness from someone you wronged) too is a sin against God and you. So it’s not being unjust or uncharitable, to indeed forgive someone who hasn’t asked you for forgiveness. In fact it’s both charitable and just.

Just an experience I thought I’d share because I believe you can be reasonable.

Oh, I agree with you 100%. But when a DU lib gets on a roll attacking Obama, I'll just appreciate it for what it is. Maybe these lib's will, someday, understand the entire picture. But I doubt it.

The problem with Ole Will is while he is pissed at the “one” now, he will quickly become distracted with the next fancy ball that comes bouncing by.

Will, be sure you wash your bunched-up panties really well. That’s if you’re in the habit of changing them now and then.

We're "covered," to the tune of $700 a month...just not for what she really needs.

So Will,
what you really want, is over $700 a month in coverage, but at a REALLY LOW premium.

More accurately, $700 a month coverage, with SOMEONE ELSE paying for most of it.

Have you found that your “forgiveness” is being greeted as condescension?
