Listen to the president of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, dismantle American wingnut radio host Michael Graham in a debate.

The money quote:

Because the image of the United States - we've got away from this war-mongering - is getting better. At least 47 million people that the likes of you condemn to no healthcare - in a country that I was proud to work in - these people are going to have some healthcare. So this is the issue. So therefore be proud to be a decent American, rather than be just a wanker whipping up fear.

Bless you, Ireland.
