At least one more healthcare post that you MUST read, and I’m out. Hopefully.

Tuesday Open Thread
Rush is just mad his boy Karl Rove got subpoenaed today. He's mad that the racial whisper attacks aren't working so they're ramping it up a notch. And Miss Hillary has given everyone permission to do that.
Most sites with Evelyn Pringle's articles are at a stop...the "Scoop" is moving well so far, and has some links to a series of articles:
Curtain Time for Barack Obama

Same guy.
Affirmative Action is indeed a policy set in place by liberals to give advantages to women and minorities. There must be examples of the success of AA out there in society and it is not racist to suggest that minorities have indeed benefited from the policy. That was its intent. To deny any possibility that Obama has in his lifetime benefited from AA is nothing to be ashamed of, or decried as racist. It should be applauded of a successful policy instituted to bring equality to our society.
Stop being so paranoid, judgmental and defensive. Obama has made the most of the opportunities offered to him, worked hard and is responsible for his success. It would be worse if he had squandered an Ivy League education and not made the most of his blessings and talents.
Rush is bitter.
He can't get his hillbilly heroin!
In short... 'yawn'.
I wonder what Michelle will wear to Obama's inauguration... :)
Just curious.

Cameron,
She'll look stunning! OOOh, I can't wait!

Yeah, cuz Richard Nixon was really liberal.
Rush's glory days are gone. Time to pack it in old boy.
If people want to bring up AA, that's fine, I'm just tired of whites doing it in a way that makes it seem that they are now being victimized. You can't bring up AA without discussing the reasons it was brought into existence. White people set up a system through laws and lack of equal opportunity so that they could benefit personally, professionally, and financially.
But I'm not allowed to mention that, right?
fairness doctrine, back in force
there aren't words to describe how much i despise these right wing gasbags.
And I'm not trying to say that boys shouldn't be helped or encouraged to do better; the wingnuts are just plain wrong on this, and I'm almost embarrassed for them.
