Two progressives versus 4 GOP shills and the Progressives win with the truth!

It starts of with Mr "GOP strategist" going on about the movie Soylent Green and that he's overheard people talking about it in the context of the HC debate. BULLSHIT! Must be the latest scare tactic seed that they're planting into the minds of their naive viewers, a new "Obama is going to cook you up and use you as food!!1pi!" meme.

I love it at 2:15 when Jemhu chips in with "that's an excellent point, it has been framed".

There's some serious cognitive dissonance going on here, check out the lady in pink. Her brain seems to be seizing up whenever the truth comes her way. Oh, and 4 versus 2 is hardly what you'd call "Fair and Balanced".

1. yep: "framed by the insurance industry"... nt

2. thanks for posting

couldn't take watching it to the end - the fox folks just say 'nuh-uh' to everything so it is not even a debate, it is simply nihilism

4. Did you see the bit at 7 mins 30 secs when he lays an uppercut?

"Those people (insurance companies) kill people, period!" I agree, it's not easy viewing but there are a few truth missiles that destroy the misanthropy.

3. Republicans always think they can win an argument

By talking louder and waving their hands around wildly... Bill O'Reilly uses this tactic...
people at Fox News use this tactic...Its like they think they can win the argument by shouting louder. These are not debates, they are screaming matches

What ever happened to "Cooler heads prevail" ...?

5. They don't mention overpopulation in S.G.

Not that I advocate eating people or anything, but if I remember the movie correctly there was rampant overpopulation, and people were sleeping 20-30 people in a room or on every step in a staircase. Also, people in their 90's don't heal very well after hip replacements. My wife's grandmother passed away recently at the age of 92. She broke her hip and the doctor suggested that the family let her pass away in a medically induced coma because she wouldn't be able to heal properly. She'd also had a living will, but that's beside the point. So, basically, fuck Fox news.

6. really hard to watch....apologies to heathers everywhere, but i swear this one

is one of THE heathers....she has never heard of soylent green? her panelist makes her so mad because the panelist is so wrong? what is this, amateur hour?

[GrantDem]

7. Who is the idiot "moderator"??

It seems that she worked in every industry and knows the facts on it and doesn't believe anything Jehmu is saying but gets offended when her own drivel isn't accepted as the gospel truth.

[Flagrante]

8. Where do they find these idiots?

And how do they get on TV?

[Beaverhausen]

9. I can't watch more than 4 minutes. The moderator is the most ignorant woman since Palin

You can take your insurance with you if you switch jobs???? on what planet?

[truth2power]

10. Is that bimbo getting her cues and her talking points

off her laptop? Seems like she had to keep checking it a lot.

[NBachers]

11. SOYLENT GREEEEN LET'S EAT REPUBLICANNNNNS!

[FarLeftFist]

12. SO IF THERE IS ONLY 20MILLION UN-INSURED...

WHAT THE HELL ARE THE REPUBLICANS REALLY FIGHTING FOR? NOT HAVING 20 MILLION AMERICANS INSURED? THEY ARE EVIL PEOPLE....AND SELFISH.

13. Only one thing mattered to the righties watching this

The woman was blonde and showed cleavage. Therefore she must be right.

[crazy homeless guy]

14. Fox must be cutting cost.

That set was down right do it yourself quality.

[knixphan]

15. Wannabe Cameron Diaz is annoying

But the progressive sister had a great line at the end - 'He has a HEART, which just started beating...'

**Excellent use of Grinch-Scrooge-metaphor!

16. The facts make their brains hurt.
