RUSH: January 17th, 2006. At a San Francisco town hall, Nancy Pelosi said this to the audience about protesters.<\/line> <\/line>PELOSI 2006: I thank all of you who have spoken out for your courage, your point of view. All of this — your advocacy — is very American and very important. I understand your anger. When Franklin Roosevelt died — and I… I draw great inspiration from him because he was a disrupter; and I\u2019m a fan of disrupters, people who make — make change.<\/line><\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: Woooooooo!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Nancy Pelosi ‘loves disrupters,\u2019 she told people in 2006. They\u2019re great president of the United States. Not anymore. Now they\u2019re Nazis. Blanche Lincoln in Little Rock at an event at John McClellan Memorial Veterans Hospital — Senator Blanche Lincoln, Arkansas Democrat — was asked by a local Fox reporter Jennifer Akers if she regrets calling people protesting at health care town halls ‘un-American.\u2019<\/p>\n

LINCOLN: I made an apology, and I said it was an inappropriate way to describe it and I think that\u2019s certainly adequate. I think I\u2019ve made my statement about that. I apologize for — for, you know, yuh, using a term that was inappropriate.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All these Democrats running around with all this hate speech aimed at the American people, and some of them now having to apologize for it. And Gene Green in Texas — who every time he has a chance, votes against requiring a photo ID to vote — is requiring a photo ID to get into one of his town halls. Last night on MSNBC, the socialist senator from Vermont, Bernie Sanders, was interviewed. Question: ‘In watching some of the events that have unfolded around the country over the last couple weeks with your Senate colleagues, what are you preparing yourself for out there?\u2019<\/p>\n

SANDERS: The question we should be talking about is not the end-of-life phony discussion of Rush Limbaugh, et cetera. What we should be talking about is how it can be that this nation spends almost twice as much per capita on health care as any other nation. That is the kind of debate that we should be having, not the issue of, ‘Does Barack Obama want to kill off the old people or the disabled?\u2019 That is insane.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s not insane. It\u2019s going to happen! It\u2019s going to happen. There\u2019s no other way this can happen. Look at health care spending. Do we spend money on the healthy? When\u2019s the last time a healthy person had a doctor cut off his foot for the money? When is the last time that a healthy person went in and had an appendix removed? When\u2019s the last time we had open heart surgery on a healthy person? It doesn\u2019t happen. Health care money is spent on sick people, and the older they are, the more we spend. It\u2019s just statistics, and it makes sense. So if you\u2019re going to ‘reduce spending\u2019 — and Obama says he\u2019s going to reduce the costs here because we\u2019ve gotta bring the deficit down. Ha-ha-ha-ha, but that\u2019s what he says. <\/p>\n

Well, if you\u2019re going to cut spending in health care and you don\u2019t spend any money on the healthy, then where in the hell are you gonna cutting spending? You\u2019ve gotta cut it on the sick. You gonna cut it on Medicare. You\u2019re going to cut spending in Medicare. It\u2019s in the House bill anyway. They\u2019re going to cut spending on Medicare. Mr. Sanders, you\u2019re lying through your teeth. You can invoke my name all you want, but you\u2019re lying through your teeth about it. There is no way that we can not cut spending on the sick, \u2019cause that\u2019s the only people we spend on! My friends, it\u2019s just simple logic. (interruption) What do you mean they ought…? Oh, right, they\u2019re going to stop the greedy doctors. They\u2019re going to stop the greedy insurers. <\/p>\n

Yeah, they\u2019re going to squeeze the profits and they\u2019re going to squeeze the doctors. Right. That\u2019s not going to be substantive savings. And, by the way, Bernie, you\u2019re a senator. The death panels that you say weren\u2019t there (laughing) have now been removed from the bill. At least they told us they\u2019re going to remove them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
