James Carville Calls Death Panel Chatter "Right Wing Nuttery"

James Carville reacts to President Obama downplaying opponents of his health care reform proposal talking about "death panels."

"Conservatives like to believe nutty things," he says. "You're never gonna stop right wingers from [saying and ]believing nutty things."

Mary Matalin takes her husband to task for his comments, but Carville stands by them. "Of course, it's right wing nuttery." She also has a new rule for Sunday morning talk show viewers: "The greater the Carville level of vitriol, the more [the Democrats] are losing."

where does this woman live? every single health care organization has panels.. ALL of them. Does she live in an alternate reality?

@daveme7 Every time I went for surgery, counseling offered and never forcedon people. For some people-10-20 surgeries after coming home, I am glad that was made available to me. On the other hand-When Carville said the tea party protests intended to kill President Obama as he brought this sign in that said, "Bury Obama care with Kennedy." Who is the real nutty one or as I like toput it-who arethe liars-yep-on bothsides. Not having integrity comes from both sides.

As a conservative who disagrees with the healthcare by Obama, but in reality, this has been going on for some time in the military as what the stuff you decid to do. Had a bad time in Iraq and was in a coma as well as not able to communicate much after being wounded in Iraq. After that-I had a document explaining my wishes that legally can never be challanged. Besides the surgeries I recieved in Iraq-cannot remember but think I had four or maybe five,,,

@Pills526 I'd vote for him I just got his book from the library yesterday. He's a sharp cookie and the kind of Democrat we need running the show. Maybe Mr. O'Reilly will vote for James, he says he likes CNN.

Now Republicans are advising Genocide panels where is out rage from right wing thugs ? According to them once you spent your voucher, you are on your own.

@ajf1060 Excellent post. Sadly we keep waving the big foam #1 finger when we rank, as you correctly pointed out 37th in this 52nd in that, 45th in another one. Americans are so stupid that we can be talked out of the public option. They don't even comprehend the term "option." A majority of the teabaggers are terribly obese who sit on the couch in the fall watching college football teams run a triple option offense and still can't figure it out. sarah palin started this shit from a repub.

damn this is a good couple :) i mean it. despite their fundamental differences they still love each other :)) i assume that because there is no other explanation.

[spencerdev91]

Carville married a conservative. Sleeping with the enemy. Hes a pimp!

That girl is so stupid. Ask us up here in Canada! Our health care is run 100 percent by our government. We have amazing health care, much much better than America's. Not once in our history have we killed off an eldery, or any person, for that matter, due to costs. Government run health care is the best option period. Universal healthcare is something all us modernized countries adopted long ago..well accept one...guess which one, hmm whoever it is ranks 37th in the world for healthcare!! (USA)
