Steele on Health Care Reform: 'Can We All Get in a Room and Have a Rodney King Moment?'

[Eldrad235]

BROKEN RECORD

[2openurmind]

This guy Steele needs to NOT TALK. The neo-con string pullers must cringe when ever he opens his mouth.

"What Up"? Rodney King Moment?

I would like to see the RNC and the DNC chairmen both go into a room each with a California State issued spring loaded, retractable Tonfas (aka; billy-clubs, night sticks, cranium lumpers) and have a nice Rodney King moment with one another. Let the best man get his health plan.

[8blkcat]

"Rodney King moment" -?! WTF? Is this token suggesting that the best why to resolve health care is for a group of men to enter a room & then the white men procede to beat the crap out of the one black man?

Ok. I'll bite. I go along with his plan as long as he's the one black man....

[p00lman]

Steele is seriously out of touch with America.

America voted for Obama, who promised health care reform in his campaign. This is what America wants.

[YoungBudd]

"Can We All Get in a Room and Have a Rodney King Moment." WOW! Way to go with that ignorant statement Mr. Chairman.

[frostwolf1]

This guy is getting worse and worse...

[WKaliberr]

That made no fucking sense.

Its like saying "can we get in a room and have a That Mitchell and Webb Look moment?"

[Maplesyrup41]

fuck faux

[stupidb8888]

ah FOX!! Do they ever tell the truth or show a good perspective?

[wilhaysouth]

Steele forgets...he never would have had his job if it wasn't for Obama.

[KataVideo]

a Rodney King Moment? he wants us all to get our heads beaten in by racist cops?

[pakratmak]

So, chairman, who exactly is going to be playing Rodney in your example?

(Does this guy think before he speaks anymore?)

[doink1422]

so we hire ten lapd to beat a black man half to death is that a rodney king moment he is talking about Steele is a jackass

[Bunnicula71]

I adore how this clown and his GOP ilk invent what the american people think, polls or reality just don't matter to these bastards.

To hear him tell it, the status quo is awesome and the American people's top concern is the profit margins of insurance companies.

Michael Steele is a douchebag who owes his job to affirmative action, representing a party that publicly decries affirmative action. Irony, thy name is American politics.

[TrollBuster9090]

Regardless of what his silly analogy means, stripping away 90% of what the Democrats wanted to do with healthcare reform just so they could get ONE Republican vote is cause for embarrassment, not a victory lap.

The only good thing about the Baucus bill passing is that it now allows the process to continue. Let's hope none of the Buucus bill survives in Committee.

[bigc028282]

This is exactly what "they" wanted for a min in the first place. Stop drinking the koolaid from the 2party lie; that creates division. Watch the "news" tonight and see if they are talking about OPEC dumping the dollar, or what affects the Chinese changing their derivative policy has on the dollar. How about 'news" about "O" giving up financial sovereignty to foreign governments, so it slows our dollar collapse? Do you think it's OK to allow other countries to determine our currency policies?

[laleeloolelo]

Where do you get those ideas?

Who told you that "20.000 combat troops assigned to FEMA through NORCOM"?

Or that US dollar sovereignity has been "given up"?

Do you have any proof of what you said?

[bigc028282]

Your on utube, type it in. While your at it, look up OPEC and the dollar.

[Ender1zero1]

Big apparently doesn't understand that youtube vids aren't sourced and are often not fact based. The Army Times ran a really good article on the deployment of troops to NorCom and SoCom LAST YEAR when it happened and as for the other nonsense, Alex Jones, Ron Paul, truther and if you're a thinking individual I don't need to say anything else, do I?

[FlowerClown]

Screw the insurance companies. They have been screwing all of us for 60 years while bribing the government to look the other way.

Come on Obama grow some balls and treat them like Standard Oil.

Passing a bad bill is worst then doing nothing.

[dafttool]

Are the GOP going to come armed to the teeth like they did the townhall meetings? Because if so, I'm not coming near your room, Steele.

[bigmoney714]

Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness

[terrence0258]

Republicans would love to have a Rodney King moment with his dumb ass.

[bigc028282]

He loves executive orders like Bush did. He uses his position to control an agenda that continues the P-Act which is used by the gov to control our populations rights. He just gave financial sovereignty away to foreign governments because we need to keep our dollar alive for awhile longer. 20,000 COMBAT troops assigned to FEMA through NORCOM. What happened to all you people who wanted to end all this crap? This stuff looks like a continuation of the agenda21 playbook.

[chizzichizz]

Flip speaking big mouthed idiot. He crosses Rush again and his republican party will trap him in a room and give him a Rodney King moment..... Billy clubs and all.

[TheBeepBeepBeep]

Michael "House Nigger" Steele

[jennined]

Whoops.

[radudeATL]

Yeah! Just what we need - another race riot!

[guiltybob1]

"Can't we all just get along?"

Oh, fuck no.

It's waaay to late for that little man.

[bigc028282]

13 seconds on nothing but truth. Those who think that mr change, who hasn't done anything he promised to do and they continue to follow their fearless leader, wouldn't understand that he was speaking of the "can't we all just get along" statement from Rodney king.

The same banks that financed the last administration finance this one. You dollar is about dead, maybe you should wake the f*ck up already.

HINT: Those who receive the carbon tax money lead to the ones who are running the show.

[biggerflexible]

Step down from that soapbox pay a doctor to pull your head out of your ass, I'm sure you have health insurance.

[bigc028282]

As soon as you pull "his" dick out of your mouth. You would assume I have insurance. It's obvious how you think Thanks for the change of face dipsh!t.

[biggerflexible]

If you don't have insurance then you're even more retarded than I originally thought.

[bigc028282]

Not as retarded as someone who believes that mr change has change anything. Not as retarded as someone answering with this, instead of the facts I posted. The cap in trade bill was slammed through congress the day after day after MJ died. 1300 pages with 300 at the last min. Who gets all the carbon tax money? What countries refuse to participate? What happened to the wars ending? The terror prisons? The P-Act? The bankster bailout? THE LIST OF CHANGE?

JP MORGAN funded Mr Change of face.

[biggerflexible]

I'm noet even a big Obama supporter you mental cripple you're just another house nigger like Micheal Steele, here is a quarter dance for me.

[crtnyevans]

Obama hasn't done anything he's promised to do? Where hae you been? Maybe you should think before you post buddy..he was done more(positive) things in his 10 months in office then Bush did in 8 years

[njcarlos1]

Like?

[crtnyevans]

How about stop torture and Gitmo? How about extending rights and a hand to gay america? How about extending his hand to the muslim world instead of saying fuck you pay me? And now healthcare reform is about to be passed for the first time in what seems like a million years. If you think thats nothing then ok, but its a hell of a lot more then bush

[njcarlos1]

? ... you basically used 350 characters to say he did nothing... because everything you said either is a lie, didn't happen, or was nothing but a "gesture" which technically means nothing in politics (which measures success by action and outcome).

Awesome! :)

[TrollBuster9090]

If you want a running tally of the what promises have been kept and which have not, I think Politifact(dot)com is doing a pretty good job with their Obama truth-o-meter.

politifact. com/truth-o-meter/promises/

[njcarlos1]

~13% kept or compromised to achieve... looks like we have a winner. And the funniest thing? Most of that 13% is obscure/insignificant or "incomplete" ...like weatherizing 1million homes per year when they haven't even achieved half of that in 2009.

[TrollBuster9090]

I don't look on it quite that way. I count the "kept," "in the works" and "stalled," but leave out the compromised promises.

Factored that way, it gives him 181/515, or 35%, which isn't bad considering he's only been in office for nine months.

[bigc028282]

Same corporations behind him as the last, same wars plus the addition to declaration of war in Pakistan, same bailout that he participated in and shilled for when bush was in, torture prisons in foreign countries other that Gitmo, he jams bills like the carbon tax(that the IMF and UN get paid on) through congress without "time to read". The treasury sec is was the ceo at the PRIVATE FEDERAL RESERVE. Who owns that anyway???

HOPE in one hand, and BUSH in the other.

CHANGE OF FACE! Time to wake up

[crtnyevans]

ok the president cannot force the congress to read it. If they choose to pass something without reading it then that is their own fault. Please show me the declaration of war on Pakistan( although he did discuss that while running for pres. you must have missed it). Sorry buddy it seems like you just don't like Obama he's nothing like Bush

[quotendeutscher]

Hahahahaha - "I don't try to be an obstructionist." Great joke! :D

[charbroiledmonk1033]

Perhaps this is Michael Steele's way of admitting he is strung out on crack.

[sirdaveysockrocker]

what the fuck is this retard talking about? and WHY would anyone get in a room with him? how many times does he have to be told that the head of the RNC does NOT make policy. jesus what a fucking moron.

[integral]

Every time I listen to Steele speak I get the same "lying sack of shit" feeling I got when listening to W.

[sinistavoicez]

What The Fuck? Where does the GOP/FOX party find these coons. They set us back every time they can

[Philinspaces]

Perhaps he feels like Rodney King the way he has been beaten down. Of course this beating is only because he is ignorant and can't defend his positions. How hard it must be to be a talking head who seeks recognition for ideas he never had.

[ebleyes]

I really feel that this man is out of his depth, he doesn't make any sense.

[TheRamenAvenger]

What is wrong with this man

[bushputz]

A 'Rodney King moment'?

WTF are you talking about?

Do you mean when 4 LA cops beat the crap out of King?

Perhaps when the cops were acquitted by a predominantly white jury in the conservative suburb of Simi Valley?

Maybe the 6 days of rioting that ensued? You really can't call 6 days a 'moment', so maybe you're referring to Reginald Denny or Fidel Lopez being pulled from their trucks and beaten to a pulp?

This past teabagging summer of yours was chock full of 'Rodney King moments'

[Melpheos1er]

no trying to be an obstructionist ?

WFT ?

[darkally]

hm...I don't really understand how he made that mistake

[DemonicGemini]

i fucking hate this bitch ass nigga tryin to be down sayin shit Rodney King Moment nigga you was one of the cops that beat him fucking puppet

[SaintJust101]

Could someone help me out? I don't understand what he meant by that. Does it mean anything? How does rodney king fit into all this?

[njcarlos1]

"Can't we all just get along."

[SJamesGray]

I haven't a remote clue what that means either.

[njcarlos1]

Then you obviously don't know what happened during the Rodney King incident. /watch?v=FHlopjHepEw

[greyflcn]

Oh wait, wow... Steele screwed up that comment badly.

[Mojean24]

Seriously! What does that even mean???

[jasonsadventure]

can michael steele open his mouth and not be a moron? for the love of fuck

[poop121]

disgraceful minstrel show

[GreenEnergy2112]

His health insurance should be taken away from him because of pre-existing condition being a " numb skull"

[snarkwaupaca]

The party of no ....... Brains.

[zeroepyon]

Dear Goodness

[zeroepyon]

Dear Goodness.

[OrbisFerrum]

Wait, what?

Does he want to be locked in a room full of white cops who are going to beat him within an inch of his life?

[njcarlos1]

You're a bit slow aren't you?

[OrbisFerrum]

I was being tongue in cheek.

He really should pick his metaphors more carefully.

[njcarlos1]

Not really. To most people with an ounce of intellect they can discern what he meant pretty easily.

[OrbisFerrum]

Great, then you should have no problem explaining it to me or the many other people here who seem to be equally confused.

[njcarlos1]

Very simple ... /watch?v=FHlopjHepEw

[OrbisFerrum]

It may seem simple but for most people the reference is a little lost because saying a Rodney King moment without any additional qualifiers evokes the images of the beating he took at the hands of the police officers, not his pleas to end the riots.

It goes back to what I was saying before. He really should pick his metaphors more carefully and be clearer about what he means. I don't actually think MS was ill intentioned with this but he shouldn't take for granted that everyone thinks like him

[njcarlos1]

Point taken.
