| Kasz216 said: I don't see how saying Obama is lieing is racism. Its extremely unusual and rude to interrupt a presidents address to congress. If he had said it at some other time there wouldn't be these allegations. Plus earlier in his career this guy was an aide to a segregationist politician and voted to fly the confederate flag in his home state. I mean... illegal immigrants currently do benefit from public healthcare... so unless there are new reforms to kick them out of the healthcare programs i don't see how you could say he is telling the truth. The new proposals actually wouldn't benefit anybody who was unregistered, so while it won't stop immigrants from using the emergency room (I don't believe) it will stop them using the public option or any of the other proposed changes. He's claiming the vitriol that Obama is a dictator and a tyrant and all the Nazi symbology that has come out during these protests is because of something more than healthcare debate. It seems unlikely that these opinions are all based on his healthcare bill. It's more that people would rather have the crappy system we have... then an equal crappy if not worse system that will cost more money.
which... what wilson did would be seen as very mild in the chambers of british government. The Prime Minister is also the head of government but he is not the head of state. As such they are not equivalent offices. More respect is expected for a head of state in general. |
