Nancy Pelosi (House leader) warns against the rhetoric being used by small government capitalist a couple weeks ago. A total exaggeration. Then this:

Florida Rep. Alan Grayson, under fire for conservatives for describing the gist of their health care plans as "die quickly," is not exactly backing down from claims he's crossed a line of civility. Just now on the floor, he called on members of the House to pass health care reform in the most extreme terms possible: "I apologize to the dead and Fltheir families athat we haven't voted sooner to end this holocaust in America," Grayson said.

By Ben Smith 04:28 PM 80% plus of Americans want the current senate Baucus health care bill to be put on the internet. Democrats wont do it. Don't read it. Don't debate it. Just pass it. Its only your health and your money, you racist. Gore Vidal was recently interviewed. I think he agrees with Andy Williams. ...Last year he famously switched allegiance from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama during the Democratic nomination process for president. Now, he reveals, he regrets his change of heart. How’s Obama doing? “Dreadfully. I was hopeful. He was the most intelligent person we’ve had in that position for a long time. But he’s inexperienced. He has a total inability to understand military matters. He’s acting as if Afghanistan is the magic talisman: solve that and you solve terrorism.” America should leave Afghanistan, he says. “We’ve failed in every other aspect of our effort of conquering the Middle East or whatever you want to call it.” Another notable Obama mis-step has been on healthcare reform. “He f***ed it up. I don’t know how because the country wanted it. We’ll never see it happen.” As for his wider vision: “Maybe he doesn’t have one, not to imply he is a fraud. He loves quoting Lincoln and there’s a great Lincoln quote from a letter he wrote to one of his generals in the South after the Civil War. ‘I am President of the United States. I have full overall power and never forget it, because I will exercise it’. That’s what Obama needs — a bit of Lincoln’s chill.” Has he met Obama? “No,” he says quietly, “I’ve had my time with presidents.” Vidal raises his fingers to signify a gun and mutters: “Bang bang.” He is referring to the possibility of Obama being assassinated. “Just a mysterious lone gunman lurking in the shadows of the capital,” he says in a wry, dreamy way. Vidal now believes, as he did originally, Clinton would be the better president. “Hillary knows more about the world and what to do with the generals. History has proven when the girls get involved, they’re good at it. Elizabeth I knew Raleigh would be a good man to give a ship to.” Gore also mentioned his hate for Bush, and republicans. And his support for Timothy McVeigh. Here is the link: http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/the_way_we_live/article6854221.ece
