The health care reform debate is reaching a fever-pitch as both sides dig in their heels for a final battle that will likely end with the dreaded reconciliation vote. So, the Flying Monkeys are pulling out all the stops. How low can they go? It's a high-speed race to the bottom of the moral bankruptcy barrel for the NeoCons in media as they stoop to mocking and ridiculing American citizens who cannot afford adequate health insurance.
Take Rush "Deaf by Temptation" Limbaugh (please) who, during his Friday show, mocked a woman whose predicament he deemed the "sob story of the day" because she was forced to wear her dead sister's dentures when she could not afford a set of her own: "What's wrong with using a dead person's teeth? Aren't the Democrats big into recycling? Save the planet? And so what? So if you don't have any teeth, so what? What's applesauce for? Isn't that why they make applesauce?"
Let them eat applesauce? Is that it?
According to Media Matters, Limbaugh previously told a caller who could not afford the $6,000 it would cost to treat a broken wrist that he "shouldn't have broken
wrist." Yeah, and you shouldn't have eaten all that fried crap and gotten chest pains. Why'd you go to the hospital in Hawaii? You brought it on yourself . . .
Lay off the poor, El Drugbo. We can't all afford expensive surgical placement of cochlear implants when we destroy our hearing with shoebox loads of illegally-obtained Oxycontin. This episode was reminiscent of the time the cameras caught Rush's big belly jigglng like a bowl full of jelly while mocking Michael J Fox's Parkinson's Disease. Of course you don't have a problem with a woman wearing dentures that belonged to someone else; you also have no problem taking medication for erectile dysfunction that was prescribed for someone else either,do you Rush? Sob story of the day?You're the S.O.B. story of the century.
Not to be outdone, Glenn "Tears of a Clown" Beck jumped on the jocular opportunity to mock this poor woman, adding: "I am wearing George Washington's dentures right now. I'm wearing his teeth right now. . .I just like wearing dead people's teeth. But in America -- I'm sorry, I didn't know that was -- I've read the Constitution before. I didn't see that you had a right to teeth."
