re: #344 Charles

She mentioned that she went to Canada for healthcare in the 60’s. This is a huge stretch to say she benefitted from free healthcare and is now denying it to US kids. That makes a lot of assumptions. One - the healthcare coverage she get in the 60’s was free and universal to her and her family (it wasn’t as noted above.) It also assumes that if the Democrats enact Universal Healthcare, that it will be a benefit to kids, moreso than our current system (which may be in some, and not others case, and isn’t clear long term). It’s also somewhat petty to make it sound like we agree with Palin just because we disagree with faulty logic and mislabeled hypocrisy.

Call my opinion a concurrent opinion, like in the Supreme Court. I disagree with Palin, but for other more logical reasons, not this which is a stretch and just seems like a faux outrage, which you usually blow holes in. It’s like the Danny Glover non-defense, defense during the Haiti misunderstanding. Danny Glover is crazy as you stated, but that time you gave him the benefit of the doubt. I agreed with you then for the same reason I disagree with you now. I try to take every statement, from every person at face value before I ascribe nefarious motives.
