It's Obama!We all know that Barack Obama, who is actually Richard Nixon, likes to speak out against certain practices of the health insurance industry solely because Rahm Emanuel wrote “GRRR INSURANCE GRRR!”, in his self-loathing Jew blood, atop the official White House Enemies List, and Obama must obey this list. What “Chicago-style politicians” these guys are, speaking out against private capitalism business people, just trying to make a buck!

Besides, the health insurance industry wants nothing more than to be allies with the White House:

A top lobbyist for the major private insurance industry trade group, America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), urged Congressional Republicans to not even consider helping Democrats pass health care reform lest they aid an “enemy who is down.”

LEAVE AHIP ALONE! They just want everyone to be healthy.

They just want to retain their anti-trust exemption so they can continue raping us without legal or competitive restraint.

What’s this shit about enemies and Nixons? Can’t they just talk in terms I understand like Nazis and Commies?

“There is absolutely no interest, no reason Republicans should ever vote for this thing. They have gone from a party that got killed 11 months ago to a party that is rising today.”

So, like zombies, perhaps?

SayItWithWookies October 22, 2009 at 1:18 pm

The remarks came during the opening session of AHIP’s annual State Issues Conference in which both Champlin and his co-panelist seemed to concede that reform would pass and will include a variation of a public option for insurance coverage.

Yeah, the Democrats are down — just as the French at Dien Bien Phu had General Giap pinned down in the surrounding mountains, right where they wanted him.

If only the rest of us had a vast trove of underage boys with which we could bribe congressional Republicans.

Didn’t all these wingtards like, fucking worship Nixon? My head hurts..Republics try and run down a Democratic President, by comparing him….to a Republic? Brilliant!!?1

And the Republicans were being so nice and helpful on health reform before! Thanks a lot, AHIP; now they might try to start obstructing the bill.

user-of-owls October 22, 2009 at 1:37 pm

The Right’s meme trajectory vis-a-vis Obama appears to be based on some elaborate word-association exercise:

Obama is Hitler! Who fought Hitler?
Obama is Stalin! Who did Stalin break with?
Obama is Mao! Who did Mao meet?
Obama is Nixon!

Check Redstate next week for the latest on Obama’s “Frostian” tactics.

[re=441595]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: He’s certainly right that the Republicans are on the rise, what with their current 19% approval rating, compared to Obama’s 57%.

I’ve Got A Feeling/Penis by Lennon/McCartney, as arranged by AHIP. I don’t know what it means, either, but that song’s been in my fucking head for days.

Mr Blifil October 22, 2009 at 1:51 pm

It’s fine if someone from the world of private business puts together an enemies list. And if they want to carry guns to within a respectful radius of a political event, that’s fine. And if they want to suggest to their friends and coworkers that something has to be done to get our country back, hint, hint, that’s cool. Private business executives can even call people “Macaca” if they want, no biggie. Where is the harm? WELL?

It is intemperate of Wonket to suggest that because they have stylistic differences with certain captains of enterprise, we must forsake the entire free market system to which we owe so much, for some brand of godless kibbutz-style communism where the government pays for the herpes treatments that are a direct result of the sort of orgiastic indulgence so many here on this site espouse daily.

You sicken me.

[re=441595]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: A party that is rising today…

A new ABC/WaPo poll out finds that only 20 percent of Americans claim to be Republicans, a 26-year low.

EXCELLENT NEWS! FOR REPUBLICANS!!

On fox this mornin’ that lazy-eyed pooh-brained Gritchin Carlson asked some one-time lumberjack governor named Lamer if Obama’s enemies list was “naive or sinister.”

I popped a cap in the TV screen Elvis style and thought…

Fox News Enemies List:
1. Anything that moves that is not conservative.

Yep, Fox News is Hitler, shit I mean Nixon (except the welfare spending and China humping part).

“There is absolutely no interest, no reason Republicans should ever vote for this thing. They have gone from a party that got killed 11 months ago to a party that is rising today.”

Say, what? It’s dishonest and unethical when a party lies to constituents. It’s just sadly pathetic when they lie to themselves. That last sentence is accurate only if by “rising” one means “dying a slow death,” as every poll that comes out, one after the other, shows the R’s continually losing ground.

Who are these people and what the fuck have they done with their brains?L

Ha! Back when SNL was funny, despite that idiot VJ and knob-slobbing DM.

Hooray For Anything October 22, 2009 at 2:11 pm

Somewhere, a pundit is penning a column at this very moment bemoaning Obama’s failure in acting in a more bipartisan manner. It will include much hand-wringing over the administration’s attacks on the very serious and credible Fox News (they, of course, have never watched a moment of it but finds their correspondents most delightful at cocktail parties)and will spend several paragraphs describing every right-wing meme and issue some warning about how if Obama doesn’t start acting like every right winger says he should, the Democrats will lose every election from hereon out until global warming swallows up most of the Eastern Shore.

Nah, that devil-thing can’t be Obama. It has a stunning resemblance to Max Baucus.

finallyhappy October 22, 2009 at 2:54 pm

And wasn’t there a news article today that the GOP is scared of the right wing? You have the Republicans who were somewhat sane leaving the party and the crazy Snowbilly worshipping crew leaving as well. I’m waiting for the emergence of the 4 party system- the Dems and whatever 3 things the Republicans become.
