Anthony Weiner To Bill O'Reilly: 'You're Making Stuff Up'

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) went head-to-head with Bill O'Reilly about health care reform last night, and ending up telling him: "You've gotta stop making stuff up about the bill."

On The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly claimed that someone who refuses to buy in to health care would be fined by the IRS.

Weiner replied: "That's not true."

He added: "I've got a very big burden here debunking every one of the mistakes that you're making."

awesome video at link!

1. the truth matters so much less than the Yelling Right Wing Hacks do

2. Too bad he isn't running for Senate in NY. I know a girl who used to date him a long time ago

who said he is a total dick but he seems like a great Rep. May be a good guy too I suppose and his ex just doesn't like him bc she is his ex!

[TuxedoKat]

19. I wish he was running too

although Gillebrand seems to be growing in the job and doing well by us so far. Probably Weiner has grown a great deal as a person since back then since it was long ago.

3. Weiner is outstanding.

A great spokesman for the party.

4. and if ONLY if we could switch his last name with Cantor's.....

.... we'd have us a Presidential candidate.

[DCBob]

8. Yeah maybe.. heheh

You never know though.. Barack Hussein Obama!

[Clio the Leo]

12. Yeah, but at least "Barack Hussein Obama" sounds like the name of a scary muslim ....

... Weiner sounds like ....... well ...... Cantor sounds better. :)

6. I love Anthony -- But how will they enforce the mandate? Will the FBI come to collect?

If a mandate is not enforced, it is not a mandate.

7. That is a good question. How was it done with the Medicare Part D?

9. It's a tax dude.

Goddamn it's not that hard to figure out.

[Armstead]

11. Yes an who collects taxes? Hence, Weiner is being a bit disingenuous

[Teaser]

13. so the IRS should not have authority to collect taxes?

is that what you're arguing?

[Armstead]

16. No I am arguing that saying the IRS will not enforce mandates is bogus

[Teaser]

17. meh, ~100 dollars

isn't something I see a lot of audit's happening for.

Some will I'm sure. But likely very rare.

10. Employers will be required to include the value of the health insurance on W-2 forms.

It will be the IRS that has jurisdiction.

14. Nobody will come to collect. See this link:

[Armstead]

15. That would make it a law that's not a law

A law without any penalty or enforcement mechanism is not a law.

Therefore why put it in?

No way are they going to have a mandate without a way to enforce it. That is not logical.

18. Bwahahahahaha!!! nt
