Mitch McConnell speaks out against the Federal Government telling private companies to “Shut Up”
The federal government has ordered health insurers (like Humana) to suspend “Misleading mailings” that said to Medicare beneficiaries ‘health reform legislation could hurt seniors and jeopardize their benefits’…
Spotting racists at every turn, particularly in the area of political opponents, has become the new McCarthyism. With a Black President, what else could explain the opposition to his plans to reform Health Care, at least according to former President Jimmy Carter among other prominent political figures.
What is becoming obvious is the real motive of this tactic and that is to stifle dissent. The sheer power of this charge can cause most to recoil in horror at the mere suggestion that they may somehow be even remotely associated with something so despicable.
But the race-baiting appears to be losing the value it once had.
If ObamaCare crashes and burns, the Democratic strategy painting the opposition as racist nuts — starting with that odious DNC ad about “angry mobs†in July and continuing to the present day — will go down as one of the most insanely idiotic gambits in modern political history.
To stoop to racial demagoguery to try to bully centrists out of their doubts about universal health care is both a short-term error and a long-term one.
The left has gotten tremendous mileage out of it over the years, but to be this cynical about it when there are clear majorities with serious concerns about health-care reform is practically an admission to independents that it’s little more than a type of McCarthyism.
The Obamaman can!

According to this story at Fox News, ACORN employees at two different locations gave advise to a James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles who were posing as a “pimp” and “prostitute” on how to falsify tax forms.
The pair were also advised not only how to seek illegal benefits for 13 “very young” girls from El Salvador that the pair said they wanted to import to work as child prostitutes, but also were given advise on how to acquire illegal home loans that would help them set up a brothel.
Naturally, ACORN officials said they would move to stop this policy practice in all offices immediately.
