Following the failed Christmas Day terrorist attack, many on the right have used the incident as a political football, trying to score partisan points on the issue of terrorism. Hate radio host Neal Boortz took this politicizing to a new level on his Twitter account yesterday, saying that the failed terrorist attack would have killed fewer people than the congressional health care bill if it is passed:

Think Progress » Hate radio host Neal Boortz: Health bill will kill more people than a terrorist attack.

Well well well you are on a roll. The health care bill will kill more people. Hospital after hospital and doctor after doctor are no longer going to take medicare. We already have a shortage of medical staff and doctors and will add millions and millions to health care including illegal immigrants. People will be waiting in long lines and on waiting list to get their health care. Many will not outlive the wait but that is probably the plan.

We should listen to the same group who predicted Iraq would greet us as liberators? Why in the world would anybody listen to you guys anyway, you've been dead wrong about everything for over eight years.

"THE SUPREME COURT of Canada just wasn't buying the familiar old case in favour of a PUBLIC HEALTH care monopoly. In rulings that stunned Canadian politicians last week, judges on the top court looked hard at some well-worn arguments against allowing private care - and tore that threadbare thinking apart. In key passages, the outrage of some judges seemed to be showing through their cool, deliberate prose, as they described how intolerably long waiting times for public treatment put individual Canadians through pain and psychological torment, or even allowed them to die because their names fell too far down some specialist's list. "Delays in the public system are widespread and have serious, sometimes grave, consequences," wrote Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin and Justice John Major. "Inevitably where patients have life-threatening conditions, some will die because of undue delay in awaiting surgery."

Why is it that anytime the left disagrees with someone from the right, that person is describbed as "hate filled host"? Because you disagree with a policy does not mean you hate the recipiants of that policy.

Let us examine this statement. Is it any different than what that nutbag from Florida said about the GOP wanting people to die? Yes it is different, he was being malicious and this statement in the OP is the truth.
