I didn't get a chance to catch the Bill O'Reilly interview with the president but apparently Dana Millbank did.
O’Reilly devoted nearly 40 percent of his time to the attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, 30 percent to the Obamacare rollout and 20 percent to IRS targeting.
Wow. Talk about playin' the hits for the hardcore fans. Does he actually think that most people give a shit about any of these issues?
Of course, this is their modus operandi. We now live in a society where you are not only entitled to your opinion but your own facts as well. Case in point...
Anti-Obamacare, facts be damned
“Sick kids denied specialty care due to #Obamacare,” his Twitter feed proclaimed on Saturday, linking to a conservative blog post based on a TV news report out of Seattle. His Facebook page weighed in on the same story, calling it “heartbreaking” and vowing that House Republicans “will continue working to scrap this broken law.”
There’s just one problem: The shocking claim — that the President’s health reforms resulted in sick children being denied care — was flat-out false. Which Boehner’s staff must have known, assuming they actually read the material they were helping to spread across the Internet.
The anger and the hatred towards the president is so irrational that the Right is simply lying now and they don't really care.

At this point Congressional Republicans have spent about 10 times more effort on the Benghazi witch hunt than they did investigating the Bush administration's failure to stop the 9/11 hijackers, the lies and incompetence that led to the Iraq war, and bin Laden's escape into Pakistan.
Well hell Nikto, at this point, what difference does it make?
It will never cease to amaze me how much that bothers you guys. She really torpedoed you on that one, didn't she?:)
Shoulder thing that goes up.
Thirty caliber clip magazine.
Tip the island over.
Need to pass it to find out what's in it.
Bothers? Stupid people in a position to tell others what to do should bother everyone.
So should lying. Show the full context of the Pelosi quote.

Says the nitwit who posts a graphic implying that no background checks are needed on any gun purchases. What a fucking hypocrite.

Yeah, the full context - We have this bill that others don't like and are bringing up possible issues with. We think it's great, but those haters keep on hating. We don't have to talk to them because we got the votes to pass it. So we won't discuss it any more, we are just going to pass it and you'll see how wonderful it is after we ram it down your throats.
I think the one line version pretty much sums it up.
we ram it down your throats.
You missed the stomp down the hallway, slam the door and shout "Fuck you, Dad! You're not the boss of me!!!!"
Define "ram down our throats" based on the process by which the ACA was passed. Not liking it because you are a fucking baby is not a throat ram.
The full quote, with context...
The final health care legislation that will soon be passed by Congress will deliver successful reform at the local level. It will offer paid for investments that will improve health care services and coverage for millions more Americans. It will make significant investments in innovation, prevention, wellness and offer robust support for public health infrastructure. It will dramatically expand investments into community health centers. That means a dramatic expansion in the number of patients community health centers can see and ultimately healthier communities. Our bill will significantly reduce uncompensated care for hospitals.
“You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don’t know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America, where preventive care is not something that you have to pay a deductible for or out of pocket. Prevention, prevention, prevention — it’s about diet, not diabetes. It’s going to be very, very exciting.
“But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy. Furthermore, we believe that health care reform, again I said at the beginning of my remarks, that we sent the three pillars that the President’s economic stabilization and job creation initiatives were education and innovation — innovation begins in the classroom — clean energy and climate, addressing the climate issues in an innovative way to keep us number one and competitive in the world with the new technology, and the third, first among equals I may say, is health care, health insurance reform. Health insurance reform is about jobs. This legislation alone will create 4 million jobs, about 400,000 jobs very soon.
