1. Well technically it is a true statement.
Edited on Sun May-15-11 08:08 AM by RandomThoughts
If he has beer and travel money behind his door, and more then he needs, and can not show that he was not given that money by an imbalanced system, and not actual work.

Then yea I could kick his door down. Although I don't think that is a best choice and think education is better.


So if beer and travel money, was a tax on his work, by having him pay for some others to get health care then yea, he can be made to take care of people.

Just like laws make it so he is taken care of.

There are laws that make it so many things can't be done to a person or him, in the same way, there are laws that say a person can't be left to die becuase they are poor, even if that takes some extra income from someone else.



Some know more about that topic.

8. Same
I think O'Donnell is a poor excuse for Olberman. Personally I think O'Donnell is the one with dementia, for one Rand comment was about FREE health care and O'Donnell spent the whole segment commenting on Medicare which last time I checked was specifically funded for from the medicare tax. Food stamps, pell grants, agricultural subsidies, oil subsidies are free but Medicare is PAID for.

Then the other day when he was interviewing Bernie, he said that increasing the debt limit would NOT cost the country any money i.e the debt, deficit of the country would remain unchanged if we raise it when it is a lie. Which is type of truth found on fauxnews, the truth is that US treasury needs the limit to be raised so they can borrow money to pay off the current debt obligations.

10. who said he was trying to be Olberman in the first place?
O'Donnell was coming for their wigs long before Keith left msnbc to go to Current.

That's just you making up stuff to be a hater.

11. I assumed
You could see the disdain in his eyes for anybody who has a different opinion. I just think hes too partisan to be taken serious, he also doesn't do his homework before attacking republicans. A better example would have been teacher and student relationship. A lot of student get free education, lunch, school rides etc without anyone getting forced out of their home. But he went with medicare to able to attack him personally and professionally.

I dint know but theres just something and him and ED that drives me crazy

13. Too partisan compared to?
Edited on Sun May-15-11 11:33 AM by Enthusiast
How ridiculous. His criticism of Paul was right on the money.

14. I see disdain in his eyes for liars
that's it.

and for the record: I don't want bi-partisanship from him or anyone else on msnbc. I watch because they ARE partisan.

give an example of him not doing his homework before attacking republicans. Links, please.

Perhaps what you don't like about him and Ed are the fact that they're unapologetic liberals and... ...you aren't.

15. You are staring at 1 example in the video
where he tries to make Medicare out to be a FREE service. A little peek at his pay check is all the research one needs to see where the Medicare funds comes from. Ofc he knows this but because Rand was talking about free health care and medicare is popular, he justifies calling medicare free care just to score easy political points

Another recent example is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06I76Nt03ns
Lawrence here tried to convince his viewers that raising the debt limit would not add a cent to the national debt when we all know it is a lie. Also he points to republican hypocrisy for arguing against raising the debt limit now when they all voted for it in 2006 but ignores the fact that the democrats did the same thing in 2006, its just that they all voted against raising the debt ceiling

Don't get me wrong, I know that am getting the liberal perspective when am watching MSNBC but unlike Rachel or Cenk who are fair in their coverage, O'Donnell is totally unfair. He ignores the truth when it does against the democratic agent and that is what I have a problem with

17. I am sure you like
O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck, etc...

Lawrence O'Donnell Mini-Bio:
American political analyst, journalist, actor, producer, writer; He began his career as an aide to U.S. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan and was Staff Director for the Senate Finance Committee.

The above is regarding your comment on O'Donnell not doing his homework, as you can see he has been in politics for along time and does have the facts, unlike the Fox news entertainers who either make things up or just pass along the messages their bosses want them to sing.

I will give you this, I do believe that his point would be stronger if he did not appear to be so angry, not that he doesn't have good reason to be angry but...on TV you have to sell it right to the people who never bother to check the facts as that is the only one point these people will hang on to, not context and facts but the demeanor of the messenger.

19. Oh yea
I love O'Reilly, Limabaugh, Hannity, Savage, Levin etc. I am sure thats the only logical commentators to choose from if I happen to dislike the O'Donnells and EDs of this world. No way I can like Rachel, Keith, Cenk (youtube cenk) etc. Its the inconsistency and the blind support for party that I dislike. I respect a consistent commentator that I do not agree with than an inconsistent, knee jerk, go with the wind type of guy. I also watch opposition guys like the 5pm guy on fox (Smith) and Judge Napolitano

20. All those items are paid for by taxes ...
... they just don't get a line item on your paycheck.

By "free" he means no charge for the recipient. "Free" healthcare will be paid for by taxes. It won't be provided by forcing doctors and hospitals to provide services for free.

4. Yeah being a doctor in a country with the most overpaid doctors in the world
is just exactly the same as being a slave in 1700.

Those poor, poor overpaid doctors who can't afford a 2nd house. Or the ones who can't afford to send their children to Harvard, your heart breaks for them like it breaks for the Southern slave. The slave who was worked from sunup to sunset or longer seven days a week. The slave who was barely given enough to eat, barely housed and poorly clothed. The slave who gained nothing for his constant labor. Who frequently died at the hands of neglectful and cruel masters. Those slaves are just like the overpaid doctors in the US today.

:sarcasm:

Ron and Rand are some of the stupidest people on this planet.

5. I really appreciate this segment...
...and am SO glad that Lawrence O'Donnell is taking on issues like this. It's about time that we wrest the dialog back away from insanity. His closing remarks are exactly right: as long as we allow this sort of statement to be said and don't call it out for its evilness and insanity, we allow our politics to be poisoned.

9. its moxnews channel
they are not freepers, they are more of the Ron Paul types, 2 groups diametrically opposed to each other. Both are rightwings but one is far more wingnut than the other

7. Rand Paul's got his head back in Communist Russia.
That line about enslaving a person by promising services to all citizens comes from Ayn Rand, who live in -- and fled from -- Russia after the revolution. Maybe it really was like that in Russia at that time? And maybe Ayn Rand feared that bringing any kind of "collectivism" -- a sense of all society being responsible for everyone's needs -- to the U.S. would bring the same result.

12. Interseting that the Koch brothers also had bad experiences from Russia
Edited on Sun May-15-11 11:06 AM by Lars77
Rand fled Stalin's Russia, the Koch Brothers dad did business there and got screwed over and scared off.

It's a pretty damn long way from Stalin to universal healthcare though. Take it from me, i'm Scandinavian. And i don't exactly feel like i'm being screwed over by my government when i pay zero money to have knee surgery, or zero tuition fee to get my Bachlors degree.


In short: Ayn Rand, the Pauls and the Kochs are all hopelessly wrong. They look hysterical and paranoid.

16. take Down?
if one were to really take down rand Paul they would point out his privilege.If there were a real revolution Ron and rand paul would also be brought to the guillotine , he is saying he believes in private property,which means the disenfranchised become the slaves. Libertarian philosophy is ideological,forgive me it is a circle jerk of ideas,masturbation of the mind.
