JON STEWART TAKES ON REPUBLICAN OPPONENTS OF HEALTH CARE
“I WOULD RATHER DIE OF A CURABLE DISEASE WHILE HOMELESS THAN BE FORCED TO LIVE HEALTHILY IN THE POST-FREEDOM HELLSCAPE ENVISIONED IN THIS BILL FASHIONED BY BARACK O’STALIN.”
With the health care debate heading toward its final vote, Jon Stewart recapped the closing arguments made by both sides, particularly the ridiculous claims made by conservatives.
Watch Daily Show Correspondent John Oliver rail against the tyranny of Barack O’Stalin as he alleges that the number of people who will be newly covered by MedIcaid, 15 million, is exactly the number of people Stalin killed in the Soviet Gulags.
Watch Oliver gleefully champion the rhetoric of Rep. Steve King, who recently urged the Tea Party to engage in a Velvet Revolution-esque uprising like the one in Czechoslavikia in 1989 when they threw off Soviet domination.
Oliver explained that ideals are the same, mocking the Tea Party's comparison of universal health care to communism.
But as Stewart pointed out, the argument doesn't hold much water, considering that one of the Czechs' post-revolution freedoms included universal health care. Needless to say, Oliver was crushed. As was his flower named "Reagan."
As John Oliver says, “I would rather die of a curable disease while homeless than be forced to live healthily in the post-freedom hellscape envisioned by this bill.”
Now he has the opportunity.

bROTHER "COW"...here is something that I hope you can get a video of the comedy of erors of Micheal Steele's being interviewed right now on the Fox cable news network by Shepard Simith on his Studio B program...
Steele's trying to take about how they are going to get Nancy Pleosi fired made Steele sorry he came on Fox. with that talking point ..steele was also make to answer for the 200 programs taht Pelsoi said were in tihs HCB put there by the Republicans...he stumbled around and came up with they had been so watered down until what the Republicans put in was not worth anything...
Anything that takes these peoples in the right-wing off of their talking points leaves them a public joke as well as an embarrsment for all watching them being forced to dig their hole deeper and deeper. (smile)
