Landrieu just flat out lied about Dean, and Chris did not call her on it.
Edited on Wed Dec-16-09 05:17 PM by madfloridian
Dean has always supported have a public option side by side with private options. It is in almost everything he has said.

Mary lied.

Shame on her.

He has NEVER advocated leaving out private insurance companies. She lied.

10. Because the others should be calling out the insurance company parasites.
And standing firm.

Not caving in and grabbing whatever
they can as they run away.

17. What about the standing firm part?
And standing firm.

Not caving in and grabbing whatever
they can as they run away.

I heard them too, and I was heartened.

Now people like Harkin are just heading
for the exits.

23. We should make it clear to the assholes....
that they will not be supported.

Send money directly to your progressive
representatives. The assholes will get
the picture pretty quickly.

Same as it ever was. Matthews just doesn't like Dean, who knows why.

12. Because he's not "cool". Maher was the same way with Dean.
Dean's parties would have nerds at them.

Not. Cool.

14. Because Chris is Jack Welch's stooge.
Tweety makes me almost as sick as Wolf Blitzer does. :puke:

And Mary reminds me of Joe LIEberman in a cheap wig.

9. It is starting to appear the DLC Dems are on a campaign to smear and discredit Dean.
Edited on Wed Dec-16-09 05:40 PM by GrantDem
If this is the case it is going to backfire big time.

11. How Could They Pick Landrieu As A Spokesperson For HCR......
didn't they have to make promises to her and give her $'s for LA to get her on board?

19. Dean's health care proposal in the 2004 election contained no public option.
Probably what she was referring to, and she'd be right.

20. She said he wanted to get rid of private insurance companies.
That was the lie.

But if it's Mary and it's Wed. it's okay, right?

21. The only thing more nausea-inducing than Bill O'Really
...is Chris Matthews. they are virtually clones of one another, two peas in a pod.

I can't stomach watching either one but I'll take your word for it.

25. Here is the video clip where she lied.
http://journals.democraticunderground.com/madfloridian/5405

"She said he wanted to "eliminate insurance companies" in America.

In fact he has done the opposite. He has been condemned here at DU for wanting private policies to be alongside public ones.

Note to Democratic leaders. When you send out your little attack dogs, don't give them talking points that are lies."

27. There should be a Dem out right away correcting this lie.
But that is not going to happen.

They shut him out months ago.

28. Ggggrrr, I just caught the replay. Tweety was an ass and Mary
did lie. I haven't liked her for years and her pompous, lying self is most unattractive. Perhaps she was testy because she seems to enjoy keeping her lips attached to LIEberman's ass in hopes of getting a pittance for NOLA and Tweety kept trying to steer the conversation to her buddy.

Wasn't a free health care clinic held in LA in the past month or so? I seem to remember reading about it and I also seem to remember that she was no where to be seen.

30. I just watched Wendall Potter on Keith's show and he
called Mary out for lying, i.e. rewriting history, that the President most certainly campaigned against mandates and for a public option.

Lying and misleading are such unattractive traits.
