They're Just Making Up Shit

If anyone still needs convincing that the wingnuts and teabaggers were simply making loud noises without any substance or logic, this from radio wingnut Neal Boortz should put any doubts to rest:

Well, no. Around 44,000 Americans die every year due to a lack of health insurance. That's according to Harvard. Neal Boortz's Twitter remark, on the other hand, was yanked out of his ass.

You mean like Michael Morre does? Oh nose!

Or like you do, Jonah Bolgna?! Yipper-dipper, skipper!

I'm still a "metrosexual," right?

and Jonah, Michael Moore does what? Yank stuff out of his ass? Ew, horrific visual, thanks. If you would dare to back such statement(s)/opinions up with some meat and potatoes, you might elevate to 1% cred. Until then, zero.

If you believe Michael Moore is an objective commentator than you clearly don't know Jack.

Im no huge MikeyMoore fan, but has he been wrong yet?

Nobody own's Michael Moore better than Christopher Hitchens, Jack

While I do believe that F911 was indeed his worst movie, I think that article you linked to was horrible. Hitchens is a pretentious dick, and talk about re-writing history (which he chastises Moore for by, ironically, calling him a hypocrite), it seems the Flavor of the Day for why we invaded Iraq is that they were holding the "slave state" of North Korea prisoner, WMDs the ransom. Yeeeah, thats the ticket!

Neal Boortz make specious claim on health reform.
Ad hominem attack of Michael Moore ensues.
Boortz still a dick.

"we invaded Iraq is that they were holding the "slave state" of North Korea prisoner.."

What? you'er a flip'n nutcase. Hitchen's knows
the same history I know.

Talk about rewritng history, perhaps you share the
same half-baked fantasies as Moore, as
Hitchens also states, regarding North Korea:
( the only reference to them in the article )

On Dec. 1, 2003, the New York Times reported—and the David Kay report had established—that Saddam had been secretly negotiating with the "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-il in a series of secret meetings in Syria, as late as the spring of 2003, to buy a North Korean missile system, and missile-production system, right off the shelf. (This attempt was not uncovered until after the fall of Baghdad, the coalition's presence having meanwhile put an end to the negotiations.)

So if we let you have Michael Moore you'll admit Neal Boortz and anyone else who has made the same claims he is making right now are utter morons or disingenuous pricks(I happen to think MM belongs here too)?

Notice that Jonah Bologna was unable to grab a direct quote from Moore in order to elaborate on his own direct point (and yes, I'm being generous with the word "point").

Posted by: Lexaburn [TypeKey Profile Page] at January 5, 2010 7:46 PM

Essentially, Bob Cesca is arguing with Neal Boortz, while Michael Moore and Christopher Hitchens are both trying to figure out how they were transported to this comments thread.

Apparently many things are a mystery to you Lex.

"Boortz!" is the sound my intestines make before I crap myself.

"Apparently many things are a mystery to you Lex."

Yeah, like why are you so dumb and full'a...stuffing.

Shaddap, and quit walking into my one-liners, you one-note hack of a troll.

Deserving of a "Worst Tweet" award.

Or, as he says: "What would you do, sir, if terrorists were killing 45,000 people every year in this country? Well, the current health care system, the insurance companies, and those who support them are doing just that. ... Those fighting health care reform – not those debating its shape or its nuance – people who demand the status quo, they are killing 45,000 Americans a year."
So, the 58% against the Dem bill are terrorists.

Meanwhile, Olbermann glibly supports killing a million human beings in utero a year, but this is not terrorism. It's feminism.
