Nothing to fear:
“We’re going to pay big time if we don’t get this [Obama's health care plan]. I don’t think we’re going to be a great world power.” –NBC medical correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman
Class act:
“As conservatives get to call universal health care ‘socialized medicine,’ I get to call private for-profit healthcare ‘soulless vampire bastards making money off human pain.’ The more people who get sick and stay sick, the higher their profit margins, which is why they’re always pushing the Jell-O.” –HBO’s Bill Maher
Race bait:
“The president wants to have constructive dialogue with people that clearly want to have constructive dialogue on issues that are as important as race. Uh, whether or not Rush Limbaugh wants to be part of, uh, a constructive dialogue or whether he wants to get ratings to sell commercials, uh, on a radio show, I’ll let him answer that question. … I think what’s important is obviously these are important issues, they have been over the lifetime and the history of our country, and the president takes them seriously and wants to deal with them seriously.” –White House press secretary Robert Gibbs blaming Rush for Obama making an issue of Henry Gates’ arrest
“This issue of Dr. Gates being a victim of excessive force and bad judgment is a much bigger subject. … This one case could open up the issue of the pervasiveness of race profiling. … And so, there is — this is a teachable moment if we, in fact, now address the issue of — race profiling is deadly, it’s costly and it’s expensive, and really is bad for your health.” –the “Reverend” Jesse Jackson weighing in
