Description: Tucker Carlson shows how much of a hack he is with this agrument on health insurance. Why should those who benefit from the system pay into it instead of those that are insured paying the cost when they show up in the emergency room? In Tucker's view this is "authoritarianism" Look at how the Democrats messed up the bill according to Tucker when it was actually the Republicans who decided it was better to tax smokers than the insurance companies and taxing smokers was the only way to get it through or do nothing. Carlson then goes on to defend the Malkin attacks on the kid who did the Democratic address on SCHIP and it makes you look "mean" if you don't attack him and actually have to debate your points instead. Tucker tries to act like he's not a "shill for a party", yeah right. Bill gets it wron since the family tried to get insurance and were denied. It wasn't only because they might not have been able to afford it. Then the point is made about the money we're spending in Iraq and what our priorities are. Then Krugman makes the point that the GOP doesn't want the goverment to work. Tucker tries to play the good and evil card after that and that everyone just hates Bush baloney and Maher shoots him down. |

bsullivan2 ::: Favorites 2007-10-13 06:57:29 Tucker is a little out there on some things, but his core principles are legitimate and superior to these other mindless idiots. __________________________________________________ | |
mo1elftausend ::: Favorites 2007-10-13 09:17:21 I agree. How can the other guy even call himself a liberal. __________________________________________________ | |
ninakonda ::: Favorites 2007-10-13 10:53:28 i agree his principles are legitimate but they cannot to be considered superior is subjective to your own beliefs. I find, in this debate, krugman has more fact backing up his beliefs and view than carlson who seems to be just appealing to emotion by making everything black and white... __________________________________________________ | |
ubik22 ::: Favorites 2007-10-13 13:33:36 that's the single stupidest thing I've ever heard. Ok... maybe second stupidest thing... __________________________________________________ | |
unknownunknowns ::: Favorites 2007-10-13 18:40:22 Elaborate, please. __________________________________________________ | |
DblOSmith ::: Favorites 2007-10-14 00:07:06 "It forces people to buy things they don't want to do." Yes, nobody wants health insurance, Tucker. Good one. Only the people who already have great insurance and coverage don't want other to have the similar coverage. __________________________________________________ | |
gekkobear ::: Favorites 2007-10-14 01:22:13 good to know "selfish b*tch" is now acceptable and reasonable discourse. Oddly I think this of Joy, but always felt that it would be somehow inappropriate. I'm glad she's clarified that this is completely permissible as an attack against someone who you don't know, with unknown motives. __________________________________________________ | |
Roymansd ::: Favorites 2007-10-14 03:04:33 Tucker needs to allow others to speak __________________________________________________ | |
imposedminority ::: Favorites 2007-10-14 23:39:32 The slippery slope argument is the single most generic, ill-informed and abused argument (hence "stupidest") one could possibly make. To think that the concept of ensuring a universal health care solution is the path to government control over your lives is the most important argument against it is the reason why you should be ashamed of this country fcukstick. __________________________________________________ | |
unknownunknowns ::: Favorites 2007-10-15 00:04:44 First, you comment was supposed to be address to fcukstick, not me. Second, universal health care may not be a path to government but it can be if private services were banned, like in Canada. __________________________________________________ | |
imposedminority ::: Favorites 2007-10-15 00:30:28 Better do your homework. It's not banned, it's just regulated to ensure the pursuit of profit doesn't endanger Canadian lives. Kinda the way it's supposed to be. __________________________________________________ | |
unknownunknowns ::: Favorites 2007-10-15 00:56:19 I think I might have made a mistake, it could be just Quebec that banned private health insurers. Look at Chaoulli v. Quebec (Attorney General). Anyway, when it comes to healthcare, we should be very concerned about how the production rate of the service is being supplied; and if it means profits, then I for it. __________________________________________________ | |
imposedminority ::: Favorites 2007-10-15 01:46:00 What do you mean by production rate? And can I ask why you think the profit motive is so important as it relates to the most basic of human values: our existence. __________________________________________________ | |
jett48 ::: Favorites 2007-10-15 13:01:24 Same old tired Bill Mahar recipe. Get three or four liberals in front of his liberal audience and invite ONE conservative to beat up and make himself look good __________________________________________________ | |
unknownunknowns ::: Favorites 2007-10-15 13:16:40 When I say production rate, I mean how patients can a doctor serve in one day? How sugeries can a doctor do in a day? The reason I say profit is important is it makes those doctors less lazier, and therefore increase the production rate. __________________________________________________ |
