Matthews Pwns Americans for Prosperity Leader

[TheRevolutionCanada]

This Idiot who claimed that a woman came down to the US with a brain tumor, her name is shona holmes. First of all she didnt have a brain tumor she had Rathke's cleft cyst. Rathke's cleft cysts are not true tumors nor neoplasms; instead are benign cysts. A total fucking lie this woman told did not have a brain tumor at all and this asshole spread this story which was a total fraud. Even neurosurgeons in Montreal and Toronto who described Holmes' claims as exaggerated; and not a medical emergncy

[NYPhilsPhan]

PNW'ed??? Are you serious? Mathews didn't make one single fact-based statement in the entire piece. All he did was conjecture about people on the video and try to talk over the AFP guy. I also think the people in the video were horrible, but the AFP guys disowns them immediately, saying he does not agree with them.

TeaParty/AFP are not talking about forcing people to go without health care, just that private insurance can and does handle it better than the government.

[beamla]

@NYPhilsPhan Da guberment is bad. 

[baigandine]

@NYPhilsPhan Chris Matthews did make a fact based argument -- the chronically uninsured have nothing now. Your crticisms would be legitimate of a single payor system. But for those uninsured it's a choice between nothing or the government voucher. The government voucher is going to handle their healthcare better than nothing. They don't have access to the private system and they are already sick. And the bill we got absolutely perpetuates private insurance. There's no government option.

[PriestChristopher]

The healthcare bill covers EVERYONE, all sicknesses. I would rather have the government paying it than a rich elite in a health insurance corporation who would let me die to make profit. What is wrong with you people???

[PriestChristopher]

That guy told a lie about Canada. Canada had to make a law that prevented non-citizens from taking advantage of their healthcare system. Hello??? Socialist healthcare makes our system look sick and twisted, which it is.

[PriestChristopher]

It doesn't matter if most of the protesters were not angry at that poor sickened man. By protesting against everyone being able to get healthcare, they are all acting that way towards him. Gods forbid that America actually care about its people to the extent that they enforce the Constitutional law that gives everyone the right to life by giving everyone healthcare. When is America going to wake up?

[klewieblu]

I swear those deplorable people WILL AT SOME POINT IN THEIR LIFE ask for help and attempt to find a way to make the cost of their treatment negligible to them and economically effect someone else. BTW, to the dumbassed little well dressed prick who threw money at the parkinson's patient, I hope someone beats the EVER LIVING SHIT OUT OF YOU, YOU COLD WORTHLESS POS!!!!

[MagnesDrachen13]

AFP logic: "I don't want some government bureaucrat deciding my quality of life, I want some CORPORATE bureaucrat deciding my quality of life." See? Muuuuch better.

[rickbar123]

Yea whatever Tim, I want the CEO to decide what I will get. Tim, put down the crack pipe.

[bucky468]

Sadly this healthcare bill is why the GOP's back in control of the house. Thank Sarah Palin & the teabaggers for that. I only oppose the heaalthcare bill b/c of the language that might continue funding abortions. I'm 100% pro life & don't believe in killing the unborn in any way, shape or form. But likewise I don't believe in Sarah the quitter's bogus death panel theories or any other crap brought on by the teabaggers or their contempories like Dick Armey's Freedom Works or AFP.

[bucky468]

I'm from Ohio & I'm an independent conservative that opposes the healthcare bill but not for the same reasons that these teabag buffoons do. If I ever saw any disgusting BS like what was in this video I would've kicked those 2 jackoffs asses especially the prick who was yelling at that poor old man & the ignorant ass who threw money at him. I'd be like Tom Laughlin in those Billy Jack flicks. I would've also kicked that scruffy yuppie wearing the Palin for President shirt's sorry ass.

[yikes1111awake]

Health care should be taken over..it should not be a profit making thing

[TheTwistedGypsy]

the guy was a provocateur ....even the other people were looking at him like he was stupid....

[TheTwistedGypsy]

the sign read I am AFP...A FUKIN PRICK....

[Ghostrider7308]

That is the central way to destroy Teabagger bullshit- Ask them how has "private sector" is going to fix the problem. There is no reply, because the "private sector" is currently the system. They are making all the fuck you money, and they arent sharing their kool aid with anyone. You get sick, just better have deep pockets. Otherwise, call Kevorkian. Private sector cant wipe its own ass without looking for a profit motive. You cant fix a selfless problem with selfish motivations.

[George91280]

Remember, Republicans, and Teabaggers DONT GIVE A SHIT about the people!

[1974scs]

@terimccarthy - McCarthy is a fitting last name for you considering how you ban all opposing points of view from discussions on your naive videos.

[Shyhalu]

I don't get the "Would you want some bureaucrat deciding if your quality of life and condition is worth saving?", Why would you want a private business whose sole purpose is to make money deciding that?

[Seedofwinter]

My fucking God, you have no idea on how pissed off that gets me. I wish with all my heart that I was there. I would have fucked him up so bad.

America for prosperity? All this faggot and his organization does is stir the pot. These idiots don't even know what they are mad about. He keeps saying "takeover of healthcare", yet this IS a market based solution. These greedy health insurance companies are still breathing. They still whining.

You the man Chris Matthews. Own that bitch!

[1949b]

@Seedofwinter right on

[Bd951]

Chris Matthews is probably the only human who can actually talk over himself.

[stme2008]

the old guy most likely did work his entire life could even be a war vet & now he has Parkinson's & insurance isn't covering him. sick display. this guy on Chris also asked why Dems do not go out & protest I we value our jobs & family's!! these tea people are rich or old & do not value jobs. some small business owners themselves or family there only employee. dems write letters & sign lists to Washington daily after work & phone calls in the morning before work. repubs care not for fellow man.

[George91280]

@stme2008 Republicans only care about money! Thats it! Money, to ensure that they, their buddies and HUGE corporations make ,boatlaods of money at the expense of the poor and middle class!

[kingpin8393]

FUCKING OWNED

[eqsmooth]

Most small businesses like the one I work for, if they are greedy, offer no pension, 401k, dental, vision etc... They offer an insurance card which gets rejected 8 out of ten times. They offer a medical plan for healthy people who aren't likely to get sick. just like this Americans for Prosperity asshole stands for. Beware of United HealthCare Oxford Liberty Plan. It is worthless. High prescription co-pays, high premiums, high office visits, high deductible and no good doctor will accept it.

[eqsmooth]

The guy is an old man sittin' on the street. I can't believe these fuckers. Elder people, sick or not get no respect anymore. And I mean like 20 year olds mess with 50 year olds. Guys who could help them, teach them, show them some decent manners. I see young guys on the street purposely hard bump into much older guys just to show their friends they are tough or this is their turf. Deep disrespect. This isn't just about angry teababggers, it is about one person being decent to another.

[MarkRosengarten]

I love how they use the constant whine of "2000 pages" to bash the bill. Maybe they would be happy with "The Little Golden Book Of Healthcare"...might be more up to their reading level.

[PoliticalSkeptic]

Hey maybe they would be happy with the FIRST attempt of the Bank bailout that Hank Paulson presented which was only 3 pages long!

[mrfinn9]

@MarkRosengarten Or they might like the 2 page bailout that had to happen so quickly. Or maybe the patriot act which had to get passed. The republicans do not like debate because they do not have a leg to stand on.

[sanjurokurosawa]

@MarkRosengarten No, we rather have private, i.e. secret, for-profit companies deciding whether my health concerns will keep the stock price up.

[The73mopar]

Republicans have nothing for healthcare reform. Their philosophy is for this and everything else, I GOT MINE GO SCREW YOURSELF!!!! They on a whole are a pathetic lot of individuals!!!!!!
