Can’t get enough of that poster, and it really does have something to do with the topic of this post: health care. Specifically, I am always fascinated by the other side in this (or any) debate. A part of that is simple intellectual curiosity, a part of that is I constantly hear the Jesuits whispering in my ear: “always challenge your beliefs Rich.” (Also: “Use The Force”, although I’m not quite sure what that means).
Anyways – I went on a little internet expedition to the dark corners of the web where socialist health-care supporters lurk. There were, of course, a few harrowing moments – we narrowly avoided being trampled by a wild-horde of Pelosi supporters at one point – but I managed to collect a number of trinkets. Shall we take a look?
We shall:
If you can’t design a decent poster, given all of the tools that are available today, why would you assume that the bleedin’ government could design a decent health-care plan? Ugly colors. Crappy graphics and the author could not even be bothered to center his text. Ugh.
More crappy work. Why it was necessary to use a different point size on each and every line, I have no idea.
And do you expect that the author is more worried about “mobs” saying mean things at town hall meetings than he is concerned about jihadists gunning down and blowing up Americans?
Me too.
Hey, I googled “health care posters” and this came up. And we should not be surprised that it did. There’s a cure there for what ails you.
Take two and call me in the morning!
You know, President Obama has permanently sullied the reputation of an innocent geometric shape. The poor circle: it was minding it’s own business, providing the template for wheels and cannon-bores everywhere, when this goof-ball kidnaps it for his own nefarious ends. What did the circle ever do to deserve it?
At least we still have the ellipse…
From “Top Pun”. It’s his “pun name”. Get it? Because if you don’t, Top Pun is willing to repeat it four thousand times. If we do get public health care crammed down our throats (and other orifices) I hope they can cure whatever the hell is wrong with this guy. And quickly.
And all of the houses have little Obama-symbols on them! How nice. That way, the thought police know who’s been naughty and who’s been nice.
This one not subtle enough for you? Then try the next one on for size:
No, I didn’t create this in some Floyd-like narcotic+alcohol-induced trance, and no, I don’t understand it either.
Let’s just move along…
I’ve seen this quote a lot, and I wonder if Dr. King actually said it. Because, if he did, I’m thinking that – upon a bit of reflection – he might have come up with some other forms of inequality that are more shocking and inhumane. Lynching, slavery, murder, beatings and rape spring immediately to mind.
But perhaps that’s just me.
OK. Somebody spent some time on this. Bravo. The message is stupid and inaccurate and it’s insulting that he expropriated a symbol from a war that was fought to defeat socialism in order to argue in favor of socialism, but – other than those little details – not bad.
What’s the word to describe something like this?
“Pathetic”
That’s the word.
Zombie for Blackhawk?
Check.
Cleavage for Outlaw?
Check.
Abject denial of what “universal health care” would do to the nation and the economy?
Check – check!
“This business supports health care reform.”
Translation: “This business is run by an idiot”.
The banner says “Physicians for a National Health Program”. If any of the people holding the banner are Physicians, it’s plain why they would support socialized medicine: the only way they are going to get any patients to come to them is if the government forces them to.
I guess you can add creative bankruptcy to the list of bankruptcies they’ve caused.
I’m interested in what the other side says to. The problem is they are not interested in debate. If this was truly the progressive, ahead-of-the-curve decision they say it is, why isn’t Pres. Wonderful on the TV describing this bill in detail? Why isn’t Madame Pelosi lovingly describing the subtle ways this is going to improve life? Why isn’t there special report after special report on how this is going to be the best things since the invention of Reeses peanut butter cups?
I wonder…
NOTHING, repeat nothing, will ever trump the peanut butter cup!
That is the worst zombie I’ve ever seen. It looks less like a rotting corpse and more like an emo-girl that just OD’d on vodka and percocet.
There is no better example of the stunted intellectualism on the left these days than the propaganda poster. Just more illustrations that prove the left can get so caught up in the nobility of their goals that they don’t consider the consequences or even the legality.
Health care will bust our budget — faster than that girl’s bikini top.
What a shameless attempt by Rich to beat the Threedonia record for clicks on a post.
I’m just looking after Outlaw – unlike SOME people I can mention (whose name rhymes with Boyd Burbo) who post pictures of boobs that are the opposite of mammarylicous.
OMG these people are idiots. WTF?
Most importantly that was some magnificent cleavage, well done sir. Next the government doesn’t have “government run healthcare” they have privately adminstered healthcare through either GEHA or Blue Cross Federal and since they work for the government it’s just employer subsidized healthcare like everyone else.
Also my extensive…al right ten minutes of research on the MLK quote turns up a bogus. I didn’t find anything specifically saying it was a phoney but none of the legit quote databases show it and it is only shown by sites pushing guvment healthcare.
You have gone from a hairless freak to a hairy, poo-throwing, screaming freak.
Nice going.
What can I say, I’m evolving. I a big fan of any animal that is expected to hurl poo yet is still refined enough to look awesome in a Shriner’s hat and a gun belt.
“they have privately adminstered healthcare”
You never cease to amaze V – thanks for that tidbit!
Glad to be of service Trzupr. If you want to really have some fun with these moonbats on this point send them to here:

This is who Congress, the Senate, etc are insured through.
http://www.fepblue.org/
This is the insurance given to all other non-military Federal employees as well as some companies with Federal and defense department contracts like Lockheed Martin. This carrier is also known as FEHB.
http://www.tricare.mil/
This (along with Champus and Champ VA) is the insurance for all Federal employees directly affiliated with the military.
I think I’m going to start doing a section on defeating liberal moonbats talking points.
I… er… didn’t get past the boobs.
Argh! I’m awaiting moderation because I used links.
Skip all is forgiven for being distracted by the boobs. Those were the Taj Mahal of mammories.
You guys are awesome LOL………
Englands NHS is like the curates egg and in my experience not a bad organisation if you strip out the lesbian and disabled five a day vegetable co ordinators. The proposed American system to me however seems much more about control than delivering health care.
Thud, I’m a sucker for British expressions but I never heard “curate’s egg” before. What’s it mean?
If all medical practicioners had cleavage like that, it might be worth it.
I just can’t get past the “right not a privilege” thing. Ugh. It really bugs me that those two things have gotten very confused lately.
Tracy-
It’s the Obama Generation. Everyone is entitled. Government is there to provide all your needs. All you need to do is throw a couch outside your house, drink beer all day and watch the traffic go by.
See that used to be what white trash (aka my cousins) used to do. I’m stuck with an HOA that won’t let me do that and a President encouraging it.
Vomit.
Mike…the ‘curates egg’…is good in parts!
