Socialists on the march

Man, the socialists are quick!

I had barely finished the last blog about Pelosi and the Democrats' hate campaign against the insurance industry, when ... lo and behold!... an early-morning talk radio show features an interview as a live-and-in-color demonstration of same.

On a show hosted by Paul Harris at 6:00 am Saturday morning on WLS-AM, a speaker named Wendell Potter comes on. He's described as a public relations professional who was for decades employed by the insurance industry. But he's left that industry because it just made him sick. (He's truly concerned about people, you see, and only looking out for their best interests.)

Now he works for The Center for Media & Democracy, which is funded in part by the Tides Foundation and Proteus Fund. If I recall correctly, these organizations are tied to ACORN and to George Soros. The Center's web site also lists other organizations that are supposedly all about "democracy."

Mr. Wendell Potter is soft-spoken, somehow sad and sympathetic, talking about, "Boy, it's amazing when you see what these guys [insurance industry executives] will do to please Wall Street."

The magic of radio: you can just picture him sorrowfully nodding at the horror of it all, with a tear welling up in his eye.

And, of course, those nasty, greedy insurance executives.... They're the old meanies who are driving up costs and wrecking the health care industry. They just want to make a profit.

What a load of crap! And out so quickly!

Mr. Potter points out that there is public transportation and also people driving cars on the very same roads.... See, he says, the "public option" doesn't drive out the privately-owned.

If Mr. Potter truly had a brain and truly spent so many years in the insurance industry, he must be aware that transportation and health care are two very different animals, but we won't talk about that.

These jerks are organized. Man the battle stations! Unfortunately, I couldn't find the phone number to this talk show to call up and call this jerk out.
