Olbermann: To Neal Boortz on U.S. Health Care Deaths - 'Remind Me Again, Who
Are The Terrorists?'

MSNBC Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - 5 January 2009: Olbermann Quick Comment
says Neal Boortz Compares 'ObamaCare' To Terrorist Attacks.

OLBERMANN: "Each day it seems the lunatic fringe finds a new way to permit
its adherents to view the rest of us as a little less than human - we don't
count as much as they do, ordinary Americans don't matter. Newest example,
hate-radio-host Neal Boortz yesterday: 'Obamacare will do more damage' he
said, ' than a successful terrorist bombing of an airliner and kill more
people as well.'

So, rather than count how many things are wrong with that statement, or how
many times Neal Boortz must have been abused for him to wind up so
dehumanized for him to say such a thing, let us answer it on his terms.

What would you do, sir, if terrorists were killing 45,000 people each year
in this country? Well, the current heatlh care system, the insurance
companies and those who support them, are doing just that.

Let's frame this in language even conservatives can understand. Those
fighting health care reform, not those debating its shape or its nuance,
people who demand the status quo. They are killing 45,000 Americans a year.

If they were killed all at once, or even a hundred at a time, Neal Boortz
would be demanding martial law and government by the generals.

Instead, because they die individually of disease and not disaster, Neal
Boortz, and those who ape him, in office and out, approve their deaths.

All 45,000 of them.

A year.

In America.

Remind me again, who are the terrorists?"

Well, Keith, we're in agreement again.

Obermann is a first rate speaker. Hannity is uneducated and a liar. If
repukes wanna to listen to lies let em. In the end the truth will win out.

Hannity? Did you even read the very article you posted? Boortz
debunked this 45,000 figure on his show today. His 5 million listeners
know better, as opposed to Olbermann's 350 watchers.

How did Kneel debunk it, Gooey? Just post his exact words.

Son, you have to assume that Kneel's fans are less informed than barnyard
animals. But tell us how your hero exposed the 45,000 stat.

Like now unless you're afraid to, Gooey.

You tell us in your own words, dumbass; or just admit you don't know what
the fuck Kneel's talking about...

I doubt Kneel knows any more than you do.

Go read the facts for yourself:

http://pnhp.org/excessdeaths/health-insurance-and-mortality-in-US-

"Conclusions

"Lack of health insurance is associated with as many as 44789 deaths per
year in the United States, more than those caused by kidney disease
(n=42868).41 The increased risk of death attributable to uninsurance
suggests that alternative measures of access to medical care for the
uninsured, such as community health centers, do not provide the
protection of private health insurance. Despite widespread
acknowledgment that enacting universal coverage would be life saving,
doing so remains politically thorny. Now that health reform is again on
the political agenda, health professionals have the opportunity to
advocate universal coverage.

"Health Insurance and Mortality in US Adults. December 2009, Vol 99, No.
12, American Journal of Public Health. Andrew P. Wilper, MD, MPH,
Steffie Woolhandler, MD, MPH, Karen E. Lasser, MD, MPH, Danny McCormick,
MD, MPH, David H. Bor, MD, and David U. Himmelstein, MD. p. 6"

Now, after you've carefully read this article, explain Boortz's rebuttal
in detail.

You'd have to be either a terrorist like Cheney or on dope like Limbaugh to
give another Chimp like Bush the keys to the White House.

So instead you gave a chimp like Obama the keys? Makes perfect sense.
