Teabaggers cheer for death again, this time for letting uninsured die.

The Crowd On Health Insurance

A bit of a startling moment happened near the end of Monday night's CNN debate when a hypothetical question was posed to Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas).

What do you tell a guy who is sick, goes into a coma and doesn't have health insurance? Who pays for his coverage? "Are you saying society should just let him die?" Wolf Blitzer asked.

"Yeah!" several members of the crowd yelled out.

<SNIP>

The answer may have struck a truly libertarian tone but it was clearly overshadowed by the members of the crowd who enthusiastically cheered the prospect of letting a man die rather than picking up the tab for his coverage.

1. Some sick mother fuckers

What has happened to this country and humanity in particular?

[davidpdx]

15. Sick fuckers is an understatment

The party of "moral values" has not only been run off the road, it's been hijacked.

[Vicar In A Tutu]

2. What do they think of abortion?

Specifically very early on?

[sakabatou]

6. If you're out of the womb, you're fucked.

[davidpdx]

14. Well not necessarly

They screwed around with trying to keep the ex-husband in Florida from taking his wife off life support. It's whatever really fits their twisted description of "saving lives".

[sakabatou]

18. Oh well, it's a quote from G. Carlin.

[backscatter712]

20. If you're pre-born, you're fine, if you're pre-school, you're fucked! n/t

[RoccoR5955]

3. weird, ain't it...

most of those teabaggers are against abortion, in any case, yet after it's out of the womb, KILL IT!

[my2sense]

4. Yeah - and they THINK they have

the moral high ground. Hypocrites...each and every one of them.

[arcane1]

5. Wolf totally screwed up that insurance question

instead of a man who makes a conscious decision not to buy insurance, the question should've been about a man who cannot bloody AFFORD insurance!!!!!

[OwnedByFerrets]

7. Ding Ding Ding

[awoke_in_2003]

8. "communities and non-government institutions can fill the void"

yeah, Ron- they have such a good track record in that regard :crazy:

[Vicar In A Tutu]

11. Ron Paul's shrug, as if to say...

"That's their problem" was more chilling to me than the response of at the intellectually moribund shitheads slumped & slobbering in the audience. That manis supposed to be a fucking doctor? Can you imagine if you've gone to him with a health-complaint, he's doing some sort of procedure and suddenly gets a call telling him that your insurance doesn't cover that specific area? You're out of there; he's not even going to wipe the blood away!

Fuck me. And people wonder why no genuine Cancer or AIDS cures have been released. It's because these kind of people work among the biggest, most profitable medical establishment in the world.

[awoke_in_2003]

22. This is where our country is headed...

no one seems to give a damn about anyone but themselves. It is very chilling, indeed.

[Cosmocat]

17. SERIOUSLY ...

Sadly, there are about 30-35% of this country who REALLY believe that. They just don't understand the scale of it one bit.

We have an amazingly generous and giving people, but the non-government sector cannot even BEGIN to address the cost of health care in particular for more than a small percentage of those who cannot afford or access it

It just is childish.

[awoke_in_2003]

23. They don't seem to understand anything...

until it lands on their own doorstep.

[LiberalFighter]

9. Are these the same people that argued against universal health care

because they would have death panels?

[jwirr]

10. What in the hell would possess any human being to cheer for the

death of sick people. They are just evil.

[In Jest]

12. God Bless Liberty!

:patriot:

[RandomKoolzip]

21. Right - the liberty to die if you happen to be unlucky.

Living without a net - ain't that what America's all about?


Well, not since the 1830s, it hasn't....but hey! Americuh! Fuck yeah!

[Enthusiast]

13. This comes as no surprise.....nt

[paparush]

16. Isn't that what Christ said, "Let them die..."

The hypocrisy of the Baggers is just bone jarring.

[Blue_Tires]

19. Should have then asked him what he thought Jesus would have done

[FrenchieCat]

24. Folks who don't mind allowing that kind of mentality rule this nation

are on this site.

[Skittles]

25. followup question should have been

what if the uninsured is one of YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS
