Rachel Maddow interviews Frank Schaeffer

[stonebender]

I'm increasingly concerned with the rhetoric coming from US conservatives since President Obama's election. Its become more and more racist and disconnected from reality. From Lou Dobbs asking for "proof" President Obama is a US citizen to Rush likening Obama's attempt at health care reform to Nazi Germany. I was bitterly disappointed at President Clinton's failed campaign to reform health care. Then conservatives lied and fear mongered us to failure. Now they're at it again, with claims that Obama's plans will lead to forced euthanasia and health care rationing (never mind the rationing we are already doing by allowing some of the poor, lower middle-class and disadvantaged to go untreated or undertreated because of a lack of insurance coverage or money.) The problem is those against health care reform can say anything without a shread of truth and put those infavor of reform on the defensive. Now part of the stategy, along with out and out lies about health care reform is just shouting down those in favor of reform. rmjwell posted the clip below and says,
