re: #33 akarra

There are plenty of people who are more credible, but you don't see their thought and arguments circulating very much at all. Megan McArdle at The Atlantic is against this current attempt at health care reform, and lays out her case based on the numbers, puts forth the arguments others are making, and asks questions when she doesn't know something. And the WSJ hasn't been bad at looking at the taxes potentially involved and the fishy numbers being put forth; there's a lot on the editorial page that's sound.

The amazing thing is that many don't care to hear any of this: many on the Right want to jump to "Obama = Hitler." I don't want to get into the arrogance of the Left here, because it is the Right that is my primary concern currently. But I can say that while that arrogance isn't as dangerous as the insanity on the Right, it isn't helping anything.

Obama = Hitler is a lot easier to understand than complex spreadsheets full of large numbers and formulas.

It's also easier to yell at a rally.
