Misunderstanding all you see

Last Tuesday night Rachel Maddow showed a list of hypocritical Republicans who voted against the Stimulus Bill, yet climbed all over themselves to get the money & take credit for it back home. Bobby Jindal, for example, gave out Publishers' Clearing House-sized checks with his own name at the bottom, trying to take credit for what he voted against & denounced at socialism. And acknowledged that the $$ were creating jobs.

I went on the YouTubes™ that night, and it seemed no one had that clip up yet, so using the awesome magical powers of Safari, I downloaded it, and put it back up at my YouTube page.

Here it is:



I didn't blog about it that night as I was damn tired by that point, and went to bed.

By the next day, many other people had posted the same clip; I was not alone. But by this evening my YouTube has been viewed 19,662 times, and has generated 123 comments.

Some commentors get it, others, well . . . some are geniuses:

$100 REWARD to any Republican that can create a rational rebuttal to this. I can afford it, go for it!

We let almost anybody cross our state line here in Texas and sell health insurance policies.

Some of them sell for as little as $50-$100 per month.

But the catch is their policies are written so they seldom ever pay out even a dime...They are total scam artists.

Don't let this happen in your state.

This is excellent journalism right here. She is not making it personal, she is explaining the factual hypocrisy in these peoples actions vs. specific words.

Putting an actual face & name with facts hammers home the ideal of people running from rhetoric & facts in favor of hate

I've seen her do the same to Dems Pelosi, Dodd, & Max Baucus...

But then we have, well, these folks:
