No wonder the Gods were always warring with each other without end, they’re dumbfucks. (And there’s the whole t-n-w Mythology Graduate Series 101 through 105b inclusive, sparing you thousands of dollars and a useless ‘Liberal Arts’ education–phooey.)

Anybody who is relatively sane and gets stuck reading Noonan knows she is an absolute mutant patrician clown. Of course she sees all the ‘lobbyist puppeteer/point and slap the yahoos/violence for the health industries’ democracy exorcisms called ‘Town Hall meetings’ on healthcare. And of course she understands what’s going on, this is exactly what the pundit gods are paid to know.

“What’s happening here is…the Democrats are turning into monsters in front of the little people who rightly feel scared about this brutal mistake: healthcare reform.

And done. Time for a Nectar Fizz.”

‘You Are Terrifying Us’
Voters send a message to Washington, and get an ugly response.

We have entered uncharted territory in the fight over national health care. There’s a new tone in the debate, and it’s ugly. At the moment the Democrats are looking like something they haven’t looked like in years, and that is: desperate.

This is the Democrats looking desperate?

They must know at this point they should not have pushed a national health-care plan…

50 million uninsured, 25 million with crap coverage, 1/4 of the nation. Of course we shouldn’t try–what a ridiculous idea. Heck, the last time we tried to solve this massive problem, our opponents were…very angry. And, look what we’ve got–they’re angry again! Why are we so stupid?! And Peggy Noonan, how did you get to be so wise?!

…And so the shock on the faces of Congressmen who’ve faced the grillings back home. And really, their shock is the first thing you see in the videos. They had no idea how people were feeling. Their 2008 win left them thinking an election that had been shaped by anti-Bush, anti-Republican, and pro-change feeling was really a mandate without context; they thought that in the middle of a historic recession featuring horrific deficits, they could assume support for the invention of a huge new entitlement carrying huge new costs.

The passions of the protesters, on the other hand, are not a surprise. They hired a man to represent them in Washington. They give him a big office, a huge staff and the power to tell people what to do. They give him a car and a driver, sometimes a security detail, and a special pin showing he’s a congressman. And all they ask in return is that he see to their interests and not terrify them too much. Really, that’s all people ask. Expectations are very low. What the protesters are saying is, “You are terrifying us.”

First of all, tough shit for that weak argument, Peggy. Second of all, we already know you to be a pathetic, warm-and-fuzzy dumbass. This is more of your same act: none of these a-holes ‘hired’ the ‘man’ Kathy Castor, whose Town Hall meeting is being destroyed in that clip. None of them are there to humbly confess ‘Gee, I feel scared.’ Your writing, as always, never amounts to more than obnoxious, disingenuous shit.

From the moment Obama was inaugurated, he’s been derided in the loudest, most screeching tones as a traitor, a Nazi, a communist, a socialist, an America hater, a white-race hater, a secret muslim, and, of course, a perfect Kenyan. No, I don’t need to provide the links, merely Google it and waste the next month of your life reading the bug-eyed rage yourself. On top of that, the amount of racism that’s been aimed personally at him is far beyond anything I would have imagined (and that’s probably but half of the posts I could link to).

The odds that these thugs are the local salt-of-the-earthers bizarrely acting out of character by your reasons is essentially zero. So your ‘please good people, these are regular ol’ Americans who just came out of their houses to ask a pressing question’ argument is one of the stupidest things any New York Times writer has ever written. And with the quality of the current NYT being what it is, that’s a serious achievement, but go on, hack away:

What has been most unsettling is not the congressmen’s surprise but a hard new tone that emerged this week. The leftosphere and the liberal commentariat charged that the town hall meetings weren’t authentic, the crowds were ginned up by insurance companies, lobbyists and the Republican National Committee. But you can’t get people to leave their homes and go to a meeting with a congressman (of all people) unless they are engaged to the point of passion. And what tends to agitate people most is the idea of loss—loss of money hard earned, loss of autonomy, loss of the few things that work in a great sweeping away of those that don’t…

Wow, a kingly turd paragraph on top of crap mountain. Nothing’s as unsettling as our fighting back, the screamers are ginned-up but you can’t address that, people only engage in nasty behavior for great reasons, and they’re all losing money except they’re saving money through competition, they’re losing autonomy except they’re gaining control over their healthcare security, and they’re losing things that work like the absence of healthcare. Peggy Noonan is almost too stupid to eat tacos.

But most damagingly to political civility, and even our political tradition, was the new White House email address to which citizens are asked to report instances of “disinformation” in the health-care debate: If you receive an email or see something on the Web about health-care reform that seems “fishy,” you can send it to flag@whitehouse.gov. The White House said it was merely trying to fight “intentionally misleading” information…

All of this is unnecessarily and unhelpfully divisive and provocative. They are mocking and menacing concerned citizens. This only makes a hot situation hotter. Is this what the president wants?

He wants healthcare, Peggy. Pretend to fret all you like in the pages of the Times, but he and we are not backing off. Healthcare is long overdue and we’re willing to go the long haul to get it, so, yes, we will be fighting back, and it will get uglier. An ounce of prevention, dear: water wings should prevent your demise by lachrymal means.

…frankly they ought to think about backing off. The president should call in his troops and his Congress and announce a rethinking. There are too many different bills, they’re all a thousand pages long, no one has time to read them, no one knows what’s going to be in the final one, the public is agitated, the nation’s in crisis, the timing is wrong, we’ll turn to it again—but not now. We’ll take a little longer, ponder every aspect, and make clear every complication.

You know what would happen if he did this? His numbers would go up. Even Congress’s would. Because they’d look responsive, deliberative and even wise. Discretion is the better part of valor.

Well, there’s a ‘magic dolphin’ solution, if ever I’ve heard one. The truth is that we are the only hard working mammals that can ever make this happen, and it’s an absolutely critical solution that’s already way, way past its prime.

Isn’t that obvious? Peggy Noonan, pathetic and stupid beyond words.
