Media Parrots Rehberg Parroting Limbaugh; This is How Lies Spread

by: Matt Singer

Sat Oct 31, 2009 at 12:20:13 PM MST


Pogie is on a tear today, noting the media's love for Dennis ReTweet, the first time a prominent politician in Montana has gotten such kind treatment for so clearly mimicking his party's line through a new technology.

But the bigger problem here isn't that Rehberg is simply using the right-wing playbook out there to kill health reform. We've known that for months.

The problem is that Rehberg is being either deliberately dishonest or dumb as shit.

seems about right for a person of rehberg's capabilities.  the audience denny is targeting prefer their information pre-packaged.

So... (0.00 / 0)
is the information accurate or not?  

Obviously you've read all 1,990 pages of the proposed legislation, so you can speak to the accuracy of the "pre-packaged" info, right?

Gee Rusty, what do you think? (0.00 / 0)
Is Rehberg accurate, lying, or dumb as shit?

We only need to look at his insistence on calling a public option a government take over to know he's dumb as shit...

By the way, why shouldn't government be able to offer people health insurance policies at the best rates they can negotiate?

Because of the Democrats, that's why. Have you read the bill? (0.00 / 0)
I'm calling Rehberg Monday morning and asking him to vote against the fake public option, to vote against mandates, and to vote against subsidizing private insurance companies with our tax dollars.

I think the Bill is a bad deal and we can do lots better if we  hold out for a better deal.

I'm not optimistic because  I can't remember the Dems making a good deal for about 20 years now. They seem far too timid and scared to actually be running a government.

I can always hope they will change.

This bill is garbage from our bought, sold out and paid for representatives. There is nothing redeeming about this crap legislation that subsidizes the Insurance Cartel fines employers when they shouldn't have anything to do with health insurance and the PO is the worst joke ever. However i'm sure you'll find Singer things this is the best we'll get and probably just what he was hoping for as a stockholder in the for Profit Insurance Schemes.
 Now i don't know it for a fact but anyone who is so bent on and corrupted by the ruse of Public Option could only be a stockholder in the profit for pain industry.
 i hate and despise Nancy Pelosi more than Bush, Cheney and all the Neocons combined. Baucus is a close 2nd.
 i too side with the disgusting Repugs on this shameful crime against humanity legislation that supports the Insurance Cartel and subjugates the American Public.
 JUST SAY NO TO THIS STINKING PIECE OF GARBAGE.

Why can't Rehberg be both? (0.00 / 0)
Deliberately dishonest and dumb as shit?

I can't believe it took 4 hours (0.00 / 0)
for someone to post this obvious (and accurate) rejoinder.  Admittedly, the Griz game was underway when this diary first went up, so that might account for some of the delay.

Rehberg & Limbaugh -- Siamese Twins? (0.00 / 0)
Sounds like Rehberg & Limbaugh are joined at the lip.

Campaigning early ? (0.00 / 0)

Funny post -

Fortunately, most Montanans agree with Representative Rehberg.


"most"? (0.00 / 0)
Not exactly the word I would use...

But if that is the case, then "most" Montanans are misinformed....not surprising given the last 90 days of lies and misinformation coming from Rehberg, Republican leadership,and the insurance industry, and the main stream media letting these lies and misinformation go unchallenged...

Death panels...govt take over of health care...new entitlement program....govt. bureaucrats making your health care decisions, socialized medicine, and on and on and on...

Mr. Cobbs...Given that in 40 states one or two health insurance providers control 95-100% of the market...I would like to know, whats wrong with the government offering health insurance policies at the best possible rates they can negotiate?
