Communications Director for the White House Office of Health Reform Linda Douglass bemoans in her rebuttal (awkwardly and without explanation entitled “Facts Are Stubborn Things”…what does that even mean?!) to the video I posted yesterday that the president’s words about the Stalinization of health care were (all together now) “taken out of context” but then provides no context to make her point.
I had a great idea this morning when I saw this pathetic attempt at hand-waving by the White House: If they’re bitching about Obama being taken out of context, why not just show the context? If the White House wasn’t willing to do so, one could probably presume it’s because the “context” is even more damning. Well, one would be right:
Facts may be stubborn, but the man’s words are even more so, eh, Ms. Douglass?

OH, ONE MORE THING: I forgot to mention (the lies sometimes fly by so fast, I have a hard time keeping up), that, although she may not find it to be within her job description, does the GentleCommunicationsDirectorLady wish to explain the “context” in which Barney Frank (at about 1:11) and Congresswoman Jan Schwakowsky (starting at 1:17, and whose support for the Stalinization of health care only grows more emphatic as her segment continues) both offer basically their full-throated endorsement of a government take-over of the health care industry? Considering the president has farmed out the actual writing of and direction for HIS health care proposal to Congress, perhaps they’re the ones who sholud also be asked to clarify their own statements (as if it weren’t clear already).
As a refresher, here’s that video again:
Is it me or does this administration DEFLECT like the best of the dictatorships in the world? It reminds me of the arrogance and deflection of the former Soviet Union. Don’t believe what’s right in front of your eyes, believe the dear leader.
Democrats for a few years now have used a strategy of muddy the waters when involved in a losing debate.
Isn’t it awfully early on in this administration to be so disengenuous? To be caught lying so much?

Every single Democrat pushing ObamaCare openly states that what they really want is nationalized (“single payer”) health care; why should we believe that the public option is anything other than a vehicle to achieve that?
As Galileo once said, “All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.” Well, the discovering has begun. Keep up the good work.
Oh, and if any Obamabots start going off about paid mobs at town halls, feel free to fling this in their faces.
Stand back, though; exploding liberal head residue is hard to get out of good dress shirts.
Obama: “An industrialized country that spends 14% of its GNP on health care can’t provide coverage for all citizens?”
Answer: No–then it would spend have to spend 42%!
Damn, these are some scary times.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…
So, when does Chris Dodd leave for Canada to get his cancer treated?
Just one quick point – Linda Douglas is a former TV reporter who is now working for Dear Teleprompter. And at last count, there are now 13 former media personnel who are now working for the White House.
Bias? What liberal state-run media bias?

Where are the JAFOs?
what is jafo again?
Just Another Frakking Observer. At least from Blue Thunder.
Livewire is accurate about the JAFO reference. Excellent memory. I believe that Marshall McLuhan said that the power to define is the power to control a long time ago. That is why the opposition is always coming up with new terms that veil out right lies.
