Hypocrisy: Maddow Refuses to Label VA Problems a Scandal
Newsbusters ^

Posted on 05/22/2014 8:41:59 PM PDT by chessplayer

Last night, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow furiously spun the VA hospital waiting-list scandal as merely a “problem in progress.”

That was radically different from her reaction to the 2007 Walter Reed Army Medical Center scandal, which involved shoddy, run-down accommodations for injured servicemen.


TOPICS: News/Current Events
KEYWORDS:
CNN's Bill Press was on MSNBC and called it another GOP conspiracy theory.

The liberals jumped all over Bush regarding what happened at Walter Reed. They should do no less now with the VA scandal, and jump all over the man at the top.

At least, if they are intellectually honest, they will behave in the same way.

Liberals don’t care about veterans. “Period” as someone famous once said. All that stuff about caring for and respecting “the troops” is bullshit, too, when it comes out of liberal mouth.

Just another bump in the road. Besides, at this point, what difference does it make?

“problem in progress”

is there a liberal think tank somewhere whose job is to come up with these mind bending phrases to obscure every problem.

Andrea Tarantula )as Rush calls her) was on FNC tonight and she said if I heard her right that this is not a scandal. Rather it is liberalism exposed. Meaning that the left wants single payer and this VA clinic is exactly what the left envisions for the rest of the country.

Is it really that hard to be objective? More like a case of doublethink.

But how many people died because of the conditions at Walter Reed.... Oh, wait - nobody did.

While the housing conditions were indeed atrocious, as far as I can recall, there were no issues at all with any delays or the lack of medical treatment.

No matter the number of people killed, the democrats will ignore it. Keep in mind the millions of men, women and children who have been murdered under socialism and communism yet they still support it here and around the world. They are evil people.

She is exactly right. The left wears people down via incrementalism in all things. All these scandals are nothing more than a means to an end. We are programmed to lose hope when the complicit GOP refuses to do anything to stop it.

One piece at a time, one person at a time, the genpub just throws up their hands in frustration.

Cloward Piven. It works. In the end, everyone accepts what they cannot change because those with the means not only lack the will to fight back, they are in on the plan.

Ultimately their cunning plan collapses because ultimately liberalism fails. They get the power they seek only to lose it. From that, we rebuild

No choice anymore. Too many people want to pretend the above is not the case.

Maybe they just want our soldiers to die, one way or another, just to teach our military a lesson.
