The Media & Obama

LIBERAL LIES ABOUT NATIONAL HEALTH CARE: BONUS JOE WILSON EDITION!

Written by Ann Coulter

In an online Yahoo editorial, Coulter (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucac/20090916/cm_ucac/liberalliesaboutnationalhealthcarebonusjoewilsonedition, Retrieved on 9.18.09) argues that liberals are lying. Everybody's lying. She suggests that Senator Joe Wilson is right and is apparently “the greatest statesman.” She then provides evidence that the liberals are lying, and then shows how the liberals are wrong about how the Republicans are lying.

She also brings up the imaginary stereotype of Republicans as racist illiterates, as though that's what all liberals feel.



This is what all Republicans look like!

Coulter has some valid points but she includes too much extraneous information, likely to appeal to the pathos of her audience.. She has few facts to back up herself. Her writing is less persuasive and more catered for inciting an angry mob. She uses popular culture and rumors to beef up her argument.

We've just read Ann Coulter!

She says Obama is lying. When Obama said no illegal immigrant would be covered by his public option, Coulter says he was misleading.

She quotes a subsection that reads :

"Nothing in this subtitle shall allow federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States." (Section 216 , HR3200)

What is a subtitle? Why is this not in the entirety of the bill? Coulter argues that this section, which details giving out vouchers to poor health care clients, is the only part with an anti-illegal immigrant section.

She claims Obama was only technically not lying, and was rather misleading.



YOU'VE MISLED!

Coulter's credibility is practically nothing, she only uses that one disagreement, everything else is biased, stereotyped, or a story that does not seem to connect with her main point.

Her main point is that health care will be given to illegal immigrants. They will use up taxpayer money. Obama has said, that illegal immigrant will not be given health care. If he's pushing that policy and pushing for public health care, then he's not going to just let a bill pass that gives it to illegal immigrants. That would be lying.

This problem is easily rectified with a requirement for a Social Security number.
Coulter is screaming as though will bring down the entire health care bill, this little issue. There is no disagreement between parties. Both do not support illegal immigration.

  6. I was never in politics all my life. Many of them would back stab their own friends and family to further their own status and power. When they say something, they usually mean something else...
