Why the hell are Keith and Rachel giving free air to protesters? |

I feel like even our friendly sources are repeating all of the anti-health care people's arguments all day. It makes it seem like there is critical mass against health care reform. Are there really no videos of the pro-health care people at these town halls? I don't think their strategy of "Let's show people how crazy they really are" is going to work.

1. Do you think if they ignore what everyone else is talking about 24/7 |
|
those watching KO and Rachel will forget all about this elephant in the room? I don't.

3. I'd prefer for them to get out a positive message |
|
instead of constantly playing defense.

4. Then they wouldn't be who they are. Neither are willing to sugarcoat |
|
what's going on, and I'm grateful for that.

6. So then there is no one at these town halls who is in favor of health care reform? |
|
There is no video for that?

7. I imagine there is, but interestingly, I haven't seen much. |
|
The closest I've come to seeing respectful dialogue at one of these things is with the prez, and that was covered (except by faux).

2. actually it is working... |
|
polls are starting to show that a majority of Americans view the protesters "facts' are not true.
Independents are not liking the GOP message.
There is some bad news, elderly seem to be the largest population segment that still believe some of the misinformation.

They're not just showing video... they're also pointing out the lies, the stupidity, the thuggery, etc.

11. One thing you have to understand |
|
Keith and Rachel are good at exposing the so called, "Grass Roots" folks. That's why I will trust them more than Fox Noise.

12. They're airing and disputing the faux arguments, which is very important. |
|
Let's embarrass them as they rightly deserve!
