But what this latest edition of Shout Fest shows me is that the people who choose to disrupt a potentially productive conversation on health care with vitriol and volume are unwilling (or unable) to seize the moral high ground, and would rather sink to the level of the people whose behavior you clearly don’t approve of.

If these people want to truly reveal the flaws they believe exist in the health care reform plan, they could do far more damage by researching the issue and posing incisive questions…the recipient of said question would either reveal that yes, there is a dire flaw in the plan, or at least reveal himself as an under-prepared and under-informed doofus. Screaming baseless and sensational accusations just makes the opposition look like a bunch of panicky idiots.

Instead I have learned that:
*People are afraid of Obama
*He is either: foriegn, a communist, or (my personal fave) a liberal nazi.
*Jesus is against health care reform
*People will do anything to get on TV. Monty Hall dealt with less crazier people, on Let’s Make a Deal.

So, BostonDee and Dick, I’d really like to hear your actual thoughts on health care reform. What do you want to see happen? Tell us what you think is wrong with the debate,not just a knee-jerk reaction to the president. If we want thoughtless jargon, we have Rush Limbaugh and James Carville covering both sides for us. That’s why they make the big bucks.

C’mon, “Dick,” give me something here. How does my mockery of people who show up just to make noise without ever engaging in a meaningful debate equate to Obama toadyism? Hm? Don’t just dazzle me with your rapier wit, dude, let’s see the razor-sharp mind behind it.
