Conservatard Media Fearmongers About H1N1 to Attack Health Care Reform

(Via http://www.mediamatters.org ) Since President Obama declared the H1N1 pandemic a national emergency on October 24, conservative media figures have accused the Obama administration of attempting to, in the words of Rush Limbaugh, "create panic and chaos" in order to "sell health care." These charges ignore the prevalence of the disease, which, along with the consequent need to "enable U.S. health care facilities to implement emergency operations plans," were factors Obama specifically cited when he declared the national emergency.

I am amazed at how stupid conservatives can actually be . They do anything they can to dig at this administration . It is utterly pathetic that anyone actually listens to this and believes it . I personally don't agree with vaccinations but thats my opinion .

I had to watch this twice to make sure i heard correctly but Rush just acused the white house of "keeping general unrest out there ! " If that's not the pot calling the kettle black . THAT GOES FOR ALL YOU RIGHT WING NUT JOBS !!!!!!

A swine commenting on swine flue. How appropriate.

There's plenty of the normal flu vaccine; we are running behind only in the N1H1 flu vaccine. These guys all need their heads examined.

Idiot! If they have swine flu, it's too late for the vaccine!

The test for H1N1 is free here in Socialist Canada.
