Conservatives attack on H1N1 Vaccine shortage

Conservatives attack on H1N1

The American Future Fund, an Iowa-based conservative interest group, will launch

ads tomorrow that seek to link the Obama Administration's handling of the H1N1

flu with broader questions about the viability of a public option being included

in a health care overhaul.

The ad begins by noting that in July the Obama Administration promised 120

million H1N1 vaccines would be available by October but only 27 million actually

were ready at that time. " Children, pregnant women, seniors line up for

nothing, " says the ad's narrator before adding that the government had planned

to give vaccines to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. (The White House on Thursday

denied talk that Gitmo prisoners were being vaccinated before the general

public.)

" If the government can't run a flu program can we trust them to run America's

entire health care system? " asks the narrator at the ad's conclusion...

You mention our glorious free market. At the risk of being called a socialist,

I look at capitalism like a Monopoly Game. Here's a link to an interesting

article called " Lessons From Monopoly. " I think you'll find it interesting.

But to stoop to an outright lie--that government, and not the vaccine makers,

are at fault--shows how little respect the conservatives have for the

intellectual powers of their followers. Do they really want to tell such a big

lie?

This suggests that they agree with Nazi Reich Minister of Public Enlightenment

and Propaganda Dr. Goebbels " Big Lie " technique.

Great link. And of course our free market is actually a monopoly game with the

health care industry granted an antitrust exemption!

Oh the right-wingers have never worried about the intellectual powers of their

followers, believe me. They can tell them pretty much any lie or distortion or

logical fallacy they want with no fear that their followers will find them out.

Hi Don, LOL. But there are parts of America where " disrespecting " someone can

lead to a cemetery. This is very disrespectful.
