We Got Your Back

The D.O.J. releases a statement about the legal challenges to HCR.

The Department of Justice defends statutes that have been passed by Congress and signed by the President and are therefore the law of the United States. Accordingly, we will vigorously defend the constitutionality of the health care reform statute, along with any other claims, in any litigation that is brought against the United States. We are confident that this statute is constitutional and we will prevail when we defend it in court.

The Great Freak Out – “Exremism” Redux

Spell check mother fuckers!!!

Via Balloon Juice:

Congresswoman Louise Slaughter’s office and the local Democratic headquarters had windows broken. Here’s the note that was attached to the brick that went through the Democrats’ window.

Also this…

Now local TV station 13-WHAM reports that Slaughter received a death threat: “Assassinate is the word they used…toward the children of lawmakers who voted yes.”

I mean, really, is there anything tougher than threatening someone’s children. Pansies. The whole lot of ’em.

The Parliamentarian

This is so pathetic it almost (almost!) makes me feel sorry for them.

I know they’re really only talking to themselves, but really…the crying, the constant moaning about “The Will of the People” and “Ramming It Down Our Throats,” the hysterical hyperbole, the relentless lying…aren’t they the least bit embarrassed?

Yes, this is one of those rhetoricals.

Must Read Of The Day

Ouch:

For decades the G.O.P. has been the party of fear, ignorance and divisiveness. All you have to do is look around to see what it has done to the country. The greatest economic inequality since the Gilded Age was followed by a near-total collapse of the overall economy. As a country, we have a monumental mess on our hands and still the Republicans have nothing to offer in the way of a remedy except more tax cuts for the rich.

This is the party of trickle down and weapons of mass destruction, the party of birthers and death-panel lunatics. This is the party that genuflects at the altar of right-wing talk radio, with its insane, nauseating, nonstop commitment to hatred and bigotry.

Shorter GOP: Gulp!

USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, a notable turnaround from surveys before the vote that showed a plurality against it. By 49%-40% those surveyed say it was “a good thing” rather than a bad one that Congress passed the bill. Half describe their reaction in positive terms, as “enthusiastic” or “pleased,”

Never could have been predicted and such.

Tru Dat!

Ha. Oh Joe.

Vice President Joe Biden, perhaps overcome with excitement during his speech congratulating President Obama on the passage of health care reform, dropped an F-bomb on live television when he turned to Obama and said, “This is a big fucking deal.”
