Liberal Myth #5 - Debunked

Part of the argument for health care "reform" is that those big old evil insurance companies keep denying honest hardworking American's medical claims.

Once again, the ugly ugly truth is far different than what you are being led to believe.  Below is a chart showing the claim denial rate by insurer.  Guess who is the worst?

The Ugly Ugly Truth about Political Violence and Assasinations

Recently, Chris (I have a tingle running up my leg) Matthews, Nancy (Frozen Face Shrew) Pelosi, and Tom (everyone is stupid but me) Friedman, recently have desperately tried to start the meme that vigorous disagreement with the President through either rallies or rambunctious Town Hall Meetings will lead to poltical violence and perhaps even an assasination attempt.

This ploy is such a naked attempt to delegitimize opponents of the President that it is almost not worthy of commenting on, and those who are trying to push this "theory" should be held in total disregard and utter comtempt.

However,  when actual facts about political violence are analyzed, the ugly ugly truth is far more different than Matthews,Pelosi and Friedman would have you believe.

First, it should be noticed that the two documented cases of political violence that took place over the August recess and the town hall meetings were  a Union Thug from SEIU (see Acorn) roughing up protestors against socialized medicine and  an Obama supporter biting off the finger of a town hall protestor.

So,  lets make sure we keep things in Perspective.


Reviewing the last 100 years of Assasinations and attempted Assasinations of either Presidents or Presidential Candidates has been very interesting and some definite patterns arise.  See if YOU can spot the pattern.


William McKinley - 1901 - Assasin - Leon Czolgosz - Politics (Leftist Anacharist - like today's WTO Protestors)

Theodore Roosevelt - 1912 - Attempted Assasin - John Schrank - Poltics (Unknown, but he was put in a mental hospital afterwards)

Franklin D. Roosevelt - 1933 - Attempted Assasin - Giuseppe Zangara - Politics (Communist)

Harry Truman - 1950 - Attempted Assasin - Oscar Col lazo & Griselio Torresola - Politics (Puerto Rican Nationalists)

John F. Kennedy - 1963 - Assasin - Lee Harvey Oswald - Poltics (Communist, Pro-Castro) - As much as Oliver Stone wants to create the myth that the CIA and the far-right killed Kennedy, facts do NOT back up his claim.  Lee Harvey Oswald defected to the Soviet Union and was vigrously Pro-Castro, case CLOSED.

Robert Kennedy - 1968 - Assasin - Sirhan Sirhan - Poltics (Anti-Israel Palestinian Terrorist)

George Wallace - 1972 - Attempted Assasin (paralyzed) - Politics (unknown fame seeking nut (plotted to assasinate Richard Nixon as well)

Richard Nixon - 1974 - Attempted Assasin - Samuel Byck - Politics (Leftist, Attempted to join Black Panther party, communist)

Gerald Ford - 1975 - Attempted Assasin - Squeaky Fromme - Politics (Manson Family Nut)
Gerald Ford  - 1975 - Attempted Assasin - Sarah Jane Moore - Politics ( Radical Leftist)

Ronald Reagan - 1981 - Attempted Assasin - John Hinkley - Politics (unknown fame seeking nut)

George H.W. Bush - 1993 - Attempted Assasin - Iraqi Security Agents - Politics (Revenge for Gulf War)

Bill Clinton - 1994 - Attempted Assasin - Frank Corder - Politics (unknown fame seeking nut)

George Bush - 2001 - Attempted Assasin - Unknown Arab Men - Poltics (Terrorists)

This last incidence is the most fascinating, as I had never heard of it before.  The probable assasination plot was attempted on the morning of 9/11/01 when a group of Arab Men showed up at the Florida hotel that George Bush was staying in wanting to have an interview.  When the Secret Service said they could not confirm that such an interview had been scheduled, they drove off and were never heard from again.  Obviously this appears to be part of the overall terrorist attack of 9/11.

Amazingly I see no right wing nuts on this list, but I see quite a few communists, radical leftists, terrorists and generally mentally ill people.  I think Matthews, Pelosi and Friedman should be worried more about their OWN supporters being the purveyors of political violence rather than people on the right of the political spectrum. 

And lest we also forget, the incident that Nancy Pelosi was crying about, the assasination of Harvey Milk & George Moscone in San Francisco in 1978 was committed by DEMOCRAT Dan White not over politics but over a job dispute.

Jesse Jacskon on Race

After the tremendous response to UglyUglyTruth's interview with the late General Curtis Lemay, I thought we might try and have topical interviews with world leaders (both living and dead) on a regular basis.

Given the recent controversy over President Jimmy Carter's unfortunate injection of race into the Healthcare debate, we thought it appropriate to ask Rev. Jesse Jackson, a prominent African American leader, leader of the Civil Rights movement and past candidate for the democratic nomination for President to weigh in on this sensitive subject.

Paul C.  Rev. Jackson, first I am honored you could join me tonight.  I know you are a busy man, so we will just jump right in.  Do you think that the opponents of Obama are primarily driven by racist motivations or by idealogical differences?

Rev. Jackson:  When the topic turns to RACE
The whites get in your FACE. 
They simply cannot STAND
From Brother's Obama, Wright and VAN
 when an African is THE MAN.

Paul C.:  Well, that is just Hyperbole Reverend.  I mean, you aren't really backing any of that up you are just stating things in Rhyme.

Rev. Jackson:  The Repub's just say NOPE
 when their Prez preaches HOPE
When their asses we do BEAT
They run and don the SHEET

Paul C:  Really Rev., this really isn't going anywhere.  You just keep chanting these.....

Rev.  Jackson:  It must be sad for you to HEAR
That everything you hold DEAR
Is racist and that's no SMEAR

Paul C:  But, I was going to ask yo....

Rev Jackson:  Let me not TRIANGULATE
Upon this you must CONCENTRATE
And the math you must then CALCULATE
The odds are good when you PERMUTATE
and in your stew you PERCOLATE
The fact that all you do is HATE

Paul C:  Well, about President Cart...

Rev. Jackson:  That Cracker knows no thing
and how that bell  did ring
when he callled you out
and made you shout
It made my dear heart SING

Paul C:  Okey Dokey, well (looking at my watch)  I see we are running out of time here.  Are there any last words you would like to add:

Rev. Jackson:  Healthcare, welfare, Jailcare, homecare
Keep Hope Alive
Hope not Dope
Hugs not Drugs
I am somebody
Hymie Town
Keep Hope Alive

Paul C:  Well folks, that's all we have time for tonight.  I want to thank Rev Jackson for coming in and offering his "insights" into this issue

Rev. Jackson:  If the glove don't fit, you MUST acquit

Paul C:  I thought that was Johnny Cochrane

Rev. Jackson:  He stole it from me, Keep hope alive.

Health Care is a right?

So, if you accept that Healthcare is a Human Right...

















Then wouldn't it be logical that liquids are a human right?  You can live without Health Care, but you can't live without liquids.

And of course food.  I mean, you can't live without food right?

And shelter?  Isn't shelter more important than Healthcare?

Kinda makes you wonder where this might end.
