DIGG HERE: http://digg.com/d31M57U On March 16, 2010, Tea Partiers from around the country gathered (in disappointing numbers) in front of the Capitol building for their final protest against health care reform. Also in town, appropriately, was Barnum & Bailey's actual circus. The protestors voiced their usual conspiratorial concerns about healthcare reform: that it was a government takeover and more government, of course, equals less freedom; that it would euthanize seniors too expensive to treat; and that the bill would sink the nation into irrecoverable debt, despite its actually reducing the deficit by more than $100-billion over the next ten years. Averse to facts, no one interviewed was able to cite evidence for their false beliefs about the reform proposal, and instead suggested we seek the "truth" from Glenn Beck and Fox News. THE PROPOSAL The healthcare reform proposal being advanced in congress, while imperfect, would bring long overdue changes to a broken system. Far from being rushed, the proposals that make up this reform have been debated for years, and this congress has been working on a bill for many months. It's time for an up or down vote on reform. The proposal will expand healthcare access to over 30-million uninsured Americans, make healthcare more affordable for everyone, hold insurance companies more accountable, end discrimination against Americans with pre-existing conditions, and help stabilize our budget and economy by reducing the deficit by over $100-billion in the next ten years. http://www.whitehouse.gov/health-care-meeting/proposal This NEW LEFT MEDIA film was produced and edited by Chase Whiteside (interviewer) and Erick Stoll (camera operator) with additional camera work from Zac Sleeth. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE: You can make a difference in the health care debate without leaving your bedroom. So stop typing that narcissistic Facebook status, pause your Mafia Wars game, and actually do something in reality to advance the cause you support by calling your representative. This is so easy. Many people are timid about making phone calls, but a phone call to your representative now could save you a series of phone calls to an uncooperative insurance company in the future. Too lazy to look up your representative's number? This website makes it even easier--it will find the number, call it for you, and then call your cell phone to connect you. Tell your representative's office that you support comprehensive health care reform, and urge them to support the public option. Your Representative needs to hear from you NOW - call them now and tell them to vote YES! http://tools.advomatic.com/8/housevote2 REFORM IS A "GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER": http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/12/opinion/12krugman.html DEATH PANELS AND RATIONING: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2009/08/11/denial_of_care HEALTHCARE REFORM AND THE CONSTITUTION: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/denise-dennis/to-promote-the-general-we_b_253593.html WHY TORT REFORM ISN'T A REAL SOLUTION: http://washingtonindependent.com/55535/tort-reform-unlikely-to-cut-health-care-costs WHERE THESE LIES COME FROM: Glenn Beck, Fox News, etc. JOIN OUR HEALTH CARE FOR AMERICA NOW!

Anaheim defenceman James Wisniewski knocked Brent Seabrook out of the game less than 2 1/2 minutes into the second period. Wisniewski began his NHL career with the Blackhawks before getting traded to the Ducks in March 2009. He drove his ex-teammate into the glass behind the Chicago net with a vicious shot to the jaw, causing Seabrook's head to strike the glass with enough force that it left him with a dazed expression a couple of seconds before he crumpled to the ice. Wisniewski's hit was payback for Seabrook's aggressive check on Perry seconds earlier in almost the same spot on the ice. "We're not happy about that, obviously. A lot of guys in this room know the guy that did it, and it becomes pretty personal when something like that happens," Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews said. "I don't understand how the referees can see something like that and don't identify the fact that he's trying to hurt one of our players. He wasn't skating in from the blue-line for any other reason than to run Seebs over and take the liberty on him." "It was a dirty hit, no question about it," said former Anaheim defenceman Nick Boynton, who also got into a fight with Wisniewski right after Ryan's empty-net goal. Afterward, a livid Hawks coach Joel Quenneville called it "as bad a hit as you can ever have in the game. Quenneville said "You hit a guy without the puck, you can kill a guy," "It's the most dangerous hit in the history of the game. He tried to hurt him." TSN's Bob McKenzie: -- As near as I can tell, the hit occurred solely for one purpose to avenge Seabrook's questionable/borderline hit of Duck player Corey Perry earlier on the same shift. I suppose that goes to intent, which isn't necessarily such a bad thing if the intent was to deliver a hard check that is somewhat within the bounds of the rules or even to drop the gloves to fight, because whether anyone likes it or not, fighting is part of hockey. And so is settling a score. Fair enough. But Wisniewski's hit was anything but close to legal. As soon as I saw it, it struck me as the Grand Slam of illegal hits. It was most certainly charging as Wisniewski wound up from a great distance to come in at top speed to hit Seabrook. That Wisniewski also left his feet is the exclamation point on the charging charge. I don't recall a defenceman being that aggressive on the forecheck in quite some time. It was also interference, insofar as Seabrook did not have possession of the puck and wasn't the last one to touch it. In fact, I think you can make the case that the puck was not a factor whatsoever in Wisniewski's decision-making process. I would also argue it was boarding, in the sense of an ultra-violent hit into the boards. In today's game, we have more or less accepted that players get driven into the boards quite forcefully on a regular basis, but if you read the penalty for boarding, I think it fits in this case. I am prepared to give Wisniewski the benefit of the doubt that it was not elbowing. It looked to me like the point of contact was the shoulder although the elbow did come up late in the hit. Charging? Check. Interference? Check. Boarding? Check. Throw in the predatory aspect of the hit, the seeming malice and forethought to avenge an earlier play and I would say Wisniewski hit this one out of the park. It had a vaguely Downie-esque feel to it (see Steve Downie's charging and high hit on Dean McAmmond). Where the NHL comes down on this one is anyone's guess. Tim Sassone (Between The Circles): -- What a cheap shot by Ducks defenseman James Wisniewski on Brent Seabrook in the second period on Wednesday night. A high-stick/elbow/charge to Seabrooks face, and all he got was a minor penalty for charging. Gutless no-call by referees Paul Devorski and Ian Walsh. Wisniewskis head shot knocked Seabrook out and he retired to the dressing room. The Hawks later announced that Seabrook wouldnt be returning to the game.
