The wing nuts are bringing out all the big guns to spread the word about Obama's dangerous economic stimulus package.
Limbaugh....it is a bill to socialize medicine and allow the government taking over your life!
Quote:
...one of the most onerous provisions in this stimulus bill on health care, and there's a new bureaucracy created, the national coordinator of health information technology -- now, listen to this -- the national coordinator of health information technology will monitor treatments that your doctor gives you to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective.

FALSE!
That "new bureaucracy" that will take over your life, the
National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, already exists. It was created by Bush.
Mike Huckabee (and Pat Robertson)...it is anti-religion!
Quote:
"The dust is settling on the 'bipartisan' stimulus bill and one thing is clear: It is anti-religious."
The former Republican presidential candidate pointed to a provision in both the House and Senate versions banning higher education funds in the bill from being used on a "school or department of divinity...."
...this myth has been making the rounds in right-wing circles for about a week. Originally, the American Center for Law and Justice, a right-wing legal group formed by TV preacher Pat Robertson, said the stimulus bill includes a provision that would prohibit "religious groups and organizations from using" buildings on college campuses. Soon after, religious right groups and right-wing blogs were up in arms, demanding that lawmakers fix the "anti-Christian" language of the bill.

FALSE!
The standard language in the bill simply blocks spending for on-campus buildings that are used primarily for religion (like a chapel, for example). This same language has been part of education spending bills for 46 years. It's just the law, and it's never been controversial.
March on, wing nuts! Keep throwing crap and see what sticks! Continue to be part of the problem rather than contribute to a solution!
