	This is starting to become routine now.
	The state controlled media has fallen for another hoax.
	Last week the state controlled media in the sports world and everywhere else aid up, simply believe two totally fabricated made up quotes attributed to me.
	Today, CNBC and Reuters have fallen for a hoax.
	As reported by the politico, in a dramatic shift, the Chamber of Commerce announced Monday it's throwing its support behind climate change legislation making its way through the U.S. Senate.
	Only it didn't.
	An email press release announcing the change is a hoax.
	Chamber officials say several meeting organizations or uh uh several news organizations fell for it.
	A CNBC anchor interrupted herself mid-sentence Monday morning to announce the network had breaking news.
	Then they cut away to reporter Hampton Pearson, who read from the fake press release.
	Pearson quickly followed up with a second report saying the so-called bulletin was an absolute hoax.
	Smelling a rat, Larry Cudlow demanded to know whether the White House had been involved.
	In a story posted Monday morning, Reuters declared the Chamber of Commerce said on Monday it'll no longer oppose climate change legislation, but wants the bill to include a carbon tax.
	Reuters updated the story to acknowledge the hoax, but it was too late.
	The Washington Post and New York Times had already posted the fake story on their websites.
	Climate legislation supporters say the AVAAZ Action Factory is responsible for the release.
	I wonder if they have any connection to a New York law firm.
	Climate legislation, the group known for its activist media stunts, is not returned calls for comment, but a post on the group.
	The stunt, if you get so we've got a group known for for perpetrating stunts.
	And here we have our vaunted and respected.
	State controlled media falling for it without even checking it out.
	My God, folks, they are worthless.
	They are worse than worthless.
	They are harmful.
	The state controlled media is every bit as responsible for the damage done to this country as is the Obama administration because they are blood brothers.
	They are partners in it.
	This is just outrageous.
	So now the Chamber already under assault from the Obama administration.
	The Chamber of Commerce is already under assault.
	They are trying to destroy the Chamber.
	Next in line will be the Knights of Columbus and in the Lions Club, the Rotary Club, and they'll go after the Shriners.
	The Chamber of Commerce needs the support of every American who gives a damn about free markets, private property, and fears creeping fascism.
	This country cannot afford for the insurance industry to cave.
	This country cannot afford for the Chamber of Commerce to cave.
	The Chamber of Commerce has been screwed by this administration's policies, and now the Chamber is the enemy and a hoax that they had changed their minds and supporting cap and trade gets reported.
	Washington Post, New York Times, Reuters, and CNBC.
	A hoax, just that from an email.
	From a single email.
	How do these people look in the mirror every day and call themselves the great protectors and guardians of what is news?
	The internet is just a sewer.
	It seems to me they get most of their news from that sewer these days.
	The Obama administration systematically destroying this economy, the businesses that make up the Chamber of Commerce, and instead of remorse, we get fascism.
	This tells us everything we need to know about Obama and his associates.
	You've got companies leaving and trashing the Chamber of Commerce because these companies fear climate change and coming Obama legislation or regulation as they try to escape it.
	You've got the health care industry playing along with Obama on health care reform.
	If companies object to anything like the insurance industry, suddenly they're a villain.
	They are a target.
	Story of the New York Times today about this same infighting in the energy industry with some companies playing ball with Obama for protection and others having the gust to stand up.
	But more and more people, more I don't care, industries, individuals, wherever they are, more and more of them just have lost courage.
	They are not willing to fight for the system that made them prosperous.
	They're not willing to fight for the system that built them into the companies they are.
	They are so scared that they're playing ball with Obama in hopes that he'll exempt them in some way from the harm they know will come to others in their business.
	It is simply outrageous.
	Some of these companies may actually believe in what Obama's doing in both these areas.
	But regardless, I am reminded of a quote by Winston Churchill for all the others who damn well know that this is B.S. Winston Churchill and a Pizer.
	And all of you in business and all of you in the pharmaceutical business, all of you in the drug business, all of you in the insurance business who are thinking of caving.
	Thinking if you cave, Obama will exempt you from whatever damage you know he intends for the rest of people in your business.
	Listen to Winston Churchill.
	And a Paser is a guy who throws his friends to the alligator in hopes the alligator will eat him last.
	And a Paser knows it's over.
	And a Pizer knows he's going to get his, he just hopes he's last in line.
	We couldn't found the country today if we had to.
	There aren't enough people.
	Now that's not true.
	There aren't enough current leaders.
	We certainly have enough people.
	I just I find this just appalling.
	It has my blood boiling.
	A hoax email.
	And the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNBC, and Reuters post it that the chambers done a 180 on camp and trade.
	Meanwhile, if the truth be known, Obama's having trouble holding his coalition together on health care.
	Five different health care plans are out there bragging about it.
	Not one of them is his.
	This radio address of his, his YouTube address on Saturday, was perhaps, ladies and gentlemen, the ugliest presidential message in history.
	We have two sound bites from it.
	Here's the first.
	The insurance industry is rolling out the big guns and breaking out their massive war chest to marshal their forces for one last fight to save the status quo.
	They're filling the airwaves with deceptive and dishonest ads.
	They're flooding Capitol Hill with lobbyists and campaign contributions.
	And they're funding studies designed to mislead the American people.
	Of course, like clockwork, we've seen folks on cable television who know better, waving these industry-funded studies in the air.
	We've seen industry insiders and their apologists citing these studies as proof of claims that just aren't true.
	It's smoke and mirrors.
	It's bogus, and it's all too familiar.
	The President of the United States is calling out yet another industry after calling out doctors, after calling out the drug companies.
	Price Waterhouse did this survey that's got him so upset, and the reason he's so upset is because they came out with the truth.
	That his plan will lead to $4,000 in new taxes and bills.
	If he gets his plan, if he gets his health care, 4,000 minimum in new premiums.
	When President Obama sits here and says studies designed to mislead the American people, he may as well be talking about himself and everybody in his administration.
	Like clockwork.
	We've seen folks on cable TV who know better waving these industry-funded studies.
	Let me tell you something, Mr. President.
	Anybody with half a brain knows that whatever you come up with is going to cost much more than what you even say it is.
	There's not one government program that's ever come in on budget or under budget or on time.
	There's not one government program that has worked as designed, and the unintended consequences of all these programs are too numerous to mention.
	Here's a second portion of Obama's remarks.
	Every time we get close to passing reform, the insurance companies produce these phony studies as a prescription and say, take one of these and call us in a decade.
	Well, not this time.
	The fact is the insurance industry is making this last-ditch effort to stop reform, even as costs continue to rise and our health care dollars continue to be poured into their profits, bonuses, and administrative costs that do nothing to make us healthy.
	That often actually go toward figuring out how to avoid covering people.
	And they're earning these profits and bonuses while enjoying a privileged exception from our antitrust laws.
	A matter that Congress is rightfully reviewing.
	Let's go after bonuses, and let's threaten Another American industry.
	It is thuggish behavior.
	Now, I don't care, you know, I know a lot of you in this audience don't like big business.
	I know a lot of you can cite rhyme and reason and give examples how you think you've been ripped off and so on.
	That's one thing.
	But it is simply unAmerican for an administration to target industry and for industry after industry after industry for trying to protect itself against his takeover of that industry, which is what this is about.
	He wants to run them out of business, and it's their right to stay in business.
	Many of them are caving.
	The dirty little secret is that the insurance industry is not his problem when it comes to health care.
	His problem is he's got every different coalition on his side of the aisle opposed to it for one reason or another.
	There isn't a public option in it.
	It doesn't fund abortions, it does fund abortions, it's going to make union members pay more.
	I saw a headline the other day.
	Middle class workers should not have to pay for the uninsured.
	It was a story about union workers upset at one of these five different plans that Obama's touting out there.
	Baucus's plan, a Baucus's plan is everybody's going to face higher taxes to pay for the uninsured.
	And the union guys don't think they should have to.
	Obama's our buddy.
	Why, why, what that was not going to happen.
	You know, at the end of the day, when President Obama is in the privacy of his bedroom, when he peels off his mask, the smiling face mask.
	I'd love to see his real face.
	I'd love to see his Chicago community organizer face, his Alinsky face, his Machiavellian face.
	I know what's vicious and I know what's ugly, but I can't remember any presidential message to the nation more vicious, more ugly, more ruthless than the president's Saturday radio address.
	His attack, and this is an attack, make no mistake about it.
	His attack on insurance companies, on statisticians, on accounting firms, on cable news, on anybody who challenges his plan is appalling.
	And it's a he he doesn't even have a plan.
	He does not have his own plan.
	You have to understand a little history here.
	The president bet his presidency on health care reform.
	That's what he bet it all on.
	And he's losing.
	And he knows he is losing.
	He's losing with his base.
	He is losing with his party.
	He cannot get two of his biggest union supporters, the SEIU and the AFSCME to agree with each other about this.
	He can't get the Senate to agree with the House.
	He cannot even get the most liberal senators to agree with the less liberal senators.
	He does not have a plan.
	He has five congressional plans, none of which agree with each other.
	He said for the first time ever, all five committees in Congress responsible for health reform have passed a version of legislation.
	For the first time, five different versions.
	Why not throw in a Republican plan so Obama could pronounce we have six different versions then?
	We this is a mess.
	And the president who smiles better than any president in our history launches a vicious, bald-faced, demagogic attack on straw men.
	These no approval polls reveal that his previous attacks blaming Republicans didn't work, so now he's blaming it on insurance companies after blaming it on doctors, after blaming it on the drug companies.
	Mr. President, if I may, the fault lies not in our stars, but in the five plans.
	All of your domination of TV time has not made a case for a single plan.
	There are five different plans.
	You can't figure out which way to go.
	It's Democrats and Democrat constituencies and voting blocks that are the problem here.
	It ain't talk radio.
	It ain't Fox News, and you can try to distract everybody from your plunging support on health care all you want by picking a fight with Fox News, and you can pick a fight with me, and you can send your NFL buddies after me do all you want, but we cannot allow you to get away with covering up the fact that it is you, sir, who are failing.
	The great unifier Barack Obama can't even put the elements of his own party together on the same page to support what he bet the ball game on.
	Health care.
	They are on the defensive on this, folks.
	Do not fall prey to the sordid trash that that is disguised as news today.
	Because it is nothing but sordid trash no matter where you get it.
	In a newspaper, on a television, it's sports magazine.
	It doesn't matter where you get it, it is trash drivel, and garbage.
	The fact is they're on the defensive.
	This healthcare thing is ball game.
	So keep attacking the insurance companies.
	You keep attacking all these straw dogs.
	We are going to keep pointing out the real problem and the real solutions, such as portability of private insurance plans from state to state, so you can put all these 1,700 insurance companies competing with each other to lower premiums.
	Just because you live in Alabama doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to buy a plan from a company in Missouri.
	But you can't right now.
	We're also tort reform.
	Reduction in defensive medicine, real competition among the 1,300 or 1700 insurance companies.
	Let them compete across state lines, consumer control, the kind of reforms that would really reform.
	As for his vicious attacks on insurance companies, I have a suggestion, sir.
	If you're going to attack insurance companies, would you please attack those in Iran, in Afghanistan, and in North Korea, and the Taliban insurance company?
	And the Venezuelan insurance company.
	You know, a real enemy, sir.
	The real enemies of this country, not Fox News, Talk Radio, Rush Limbaugh, you name it.
	Our foreign policy's falling apart.
	This Afghanistan thing's spinning out of control, and we're letting lugheads like John Kerry and Joe Biden dictate what the hell's going to happen there.
	Folks, it is a disastrous mess that we're in.
	And the business that was once the safeguard against all this has thrown in its lot with the Obama administration.
	Whatever character and integrity they used to have is now almost all gone.
	We'll be back after this thing with it.
	And ladies and gentlemen, another sound explanation on why Obamacare is a fraud.
	It is from the Denver Post today.
	The headline, Colorado Insurers say health care bill would lead to system collapse.
	Executives who critics say are using scare tactics contend the proposed penalties for opting out are too low.
	Colorado insurance executives, cautious supporters of health care reform throughout the past year, are now warning that current proposals could cause a system collapse.
	At issue are what insurance companies consider absurdly low penalties for people who choose not to buy health insurance.
	See, this this is the this is the dirty little thing, secret that has it's still if you want somebody to sound irritated at an insurance company.
	They were all for it when they thought people's penalty for not having insurance would guarantee a bunch of people have to go out and buy policies.
	Then the White House got wind that people were onto that scheme, so they lowered in publicity only, they lowered what the fine would be.
	And the insurance companies, well, that fine's not low enough to motivate people to go buy a policy, because the fine's cheaper than the policy.
	So now some insurance companies are starting to uh to back out of this.
	Their concern is that people buy insurance only when they desperately need it, such as after they're diagnosed with cancer or heart disease.
	Well, common sense thing to do.
	Healthy people might choose to pay the penalty now proposed at a few hundred dollars a year, because it's far less expensive than buying insurance.
	See, this is what happens when the government tries to control actions with centralized control instead of letting market forces influence decisions.
	There is no one to pay for the people who need it.
	They're just if if you're going if every time they reach a grubby little hands into the private sector and try all of this command and control, it botches things worse than they could ever be botched if the private sector were left alone.
	Look at what's happening to us here.
	I mean, we're trucking along here just fine.
	All of a sudden, here comes Obama with this massive reform that believe me has as its end game, the elimination of private insurance.
	And that's what these clowns in the insurance business had better realize and fast.
	They're getting distracted here by how big the penalty is gonna be for not having insurance and what that'll mean to them in terms of selling policies.
	You people in the insurance industry had better understand something real fast.
	And I hope you do now that Obama has trained federal government big guns on you.
	The objective is your end.
	The objective is to have a giant public option and charge and have it be so cheap at first that companies will automatically offload all of their employees onto it.
	That's what is what you you you friends of mine in the insurance industry.
	You can sit around there, you can you can finesse this or debate this on the margins, but you're being distracted.
	What is really at uh at risk here is the survival of your industry.
	Obama may let one or two of you hang on just for the illusion that there's some private sector competition going on, but the truth of the matter is everybody's gonna be steered to the public option.
	That's all this is about.
	It's not about anything else.
	It's not even really about health care.
	It's not about improving health care.
	It's about Obama and the Democrat Party controlling everybody's future.
	Regulating their freedom and their lives, and putting the insurance industry out of business.
	I mentioned this earlier on the program, and I got looks of dismay from the staff on the other side of the glass from the South Florida Sun Sentinel Florida plan advises hospitals to bar some patients in the event of a severe flu pandemic.
	Health officials in Florida drawing up guidelines barring patients with incurable cancer, end stage MS and other conditions from being admitted to hospitals if the state is overwhelmed by flu cases.
	Now it sounds to me like the Florida death panel has got a little rationing going on here, folks.
	It sounds like that's going on to me.
	Okay, I will accede to this.
	I'm I'm being uh bombarded.
	I have been all morning.
	I've been bombarded with requests to uh play audio from the O'Reilly factor on Friday night, uh, was hosted by Juan Williams, and his guest was the Hutch.
	My good friend the Reverend Ken Hutchins Hutchison of uh of Seattle and the Antioch Bible Church.
	We're trying to move on here, but I guess the the Hutch deserves to be heard here.
	He is a good friend.
	And he um was asked a question by Juan Williams.
	If you're a black man, you stand up and say something that's not politically correct.
	You defend a Russian boy, you're his friend, you see what they did to me, you must know what they'll do to you.
	This is extremely personal to me.
	You see, to you, Juan, this is a news story, a big news story.
	And to the young lady that's from LA, you know, this is a news story.
	This is more than a news story.
	See, Rush and I are friends, close friends.
	And when you talk about being close friends, I don't see Rush as a white man.
	He's my friend.
	I don't see him as a talk show host, a very famous talk show host.
	He's a very close friend that overrides my political views and everything.
	So this attack is about a friend of mine who is being lied upon.
	And then they had this exchange about what happens to you when you defend somebody like me.
	We are made out to be less than faithful to all that's happened to black people in America and honest in our criticism.
	We're made out to be house slaves.
	What Warren Ballantine said to you was one of the most racist statements that you could get.
	The man just flat out called you a house Negro, and I don't know if white America understands the derogatory statement that that was.
	And we should not be able to put up with that kind of rhetoric from the other side who call themselves tolerant.
	We are conservatives.
	I'm a Christian, I'm a pastor.
	I lead a very large church.
	And what they are doing to Rush, this isn't about just rush.
	This is about attacking conservative values in America, and I'm not gonna put up with it.
	I find this so unbelievable as someone who sees themselves on the liberal side, the minute that you disagree, you get put down.
	Juan Williams and Ken Hutchison on the O'Reilly Factor Friday night on the Fox News channel.
	My thanks to both of them.
	Now back to the phones.
	This is Micah in uh in Shreep, Louisiana.
	Great to have you on the EIB network.
	Hello.
	Hey, Russ, how's it going?
	Good, sir.
	Thank you.
	Hey, uh, I just want to get back To what you were talking about uh a little bit earlier about uh Gordon Brown, uh his comments uh about global warming.
	And I was just wondering what you think.
	Obviously, as I'm sure you're aware, he's looking uh electoral defeat uh coming up here.
	Big time.
	And uh I was just wondering if you think uh his global warming strategy is part of maybe uh a chance to uh I don't know, like a Hail Mary that is throwing up here, or where do you think he's trying to go with this?
	Yeah, you're right.
	So uh you're right, but but if you think it's a Hail Mary to get re-elected in the UK wrong.
	It's a Hail Mary for the European Union to pick him up and put him in a position of prominence to advance the global agenda that that just includes uh global warming.
	But plus, Mike, don't forget, the guy is a socialist.
	He believes this dribble.
	These people believe it.
	They want it to be true because that's how it advances their vision of things.
	But yeah, he's throwing a Hail Mary here for a whole lot of reasons.
	But like a lot of people, what he's saying is intended for an audience other than the obvious.
	We think his his comments are aimed at uh the uh votees in UK.
	I think it's aimed at his fellow globalists, who will have the power to enrich him personally by putting him in charge of something uh very powerful if he is defeated.
	So he's covering his bath his bases both ways.
	And it's a den of thieves, Mike, of the way these people operate.
	They go in and out of government from their think tanks to their UN agencies, uh to the media.
	It's a it's a giant revolving door.
	Yeah.
	Okay, Russia, yeah, I uh I think I agree with you there.
	I just uh very wise thing to do.
	I just don't see how uh he thinks that uh at least uh in his own country, he's gonna be able to implement any kind of changes with uh with the situation electorally that he's facing.
	Well, that's it he won't the whole thing is to get countries like his and the United States and Obama to sign on to this.
	That's how it's done.
	It's turning over sovereignty to a United Nations agency.
	It's allowing if this if this climate change protocol treaty, whatever the new one's called, if this thing in Copenhagen in December, if it passes.
	It's what Lord Monkton was saying.
	Our sovereignty's over, and so is so would Judd Gregg.
	I mean, you know, our economic policies, uh, our energy policies are going to be subordinated to what the world body of the United Nations will allow us to not allow us to do.
	That's what's at stake here.
	And there's a lot of money and a lot of power in this kind of an agency if this kind of thing ever gets ratified.
	Lord Moncton's thinking, hey, look, he's gonna vote for it.
	This is he got the Nobel Peace Prize.
	He's got to vote for garbage like this.
	This is why they gave him the prize, meaning President uh Obama.
	Thanks, Micah, for the phone call.
	Appreciate it.
	This is Helen in uh Carrie, North Carolina.
	You're next in the EIB network.
	Hello.
	Hello, my hot rush, the sexiest brain in America.
	Thank you very much.
	And I have a question about Bio wanting to legalize marijuana.
	Um where is he gonna smoke if there's no smoking allowed anywhere anymore?
	And um don't the smoking laws apply to marijuana?
	Well, now it's very interesting point, uh, because I've never heard anybody say that marijuana either uh directly or via secondhand smoke is a carcinogen.
	Oh, it em it suppresses your immune system.
	I know you and I know this.
	I'm talking about I'm talking about the way uh marijuana's portrayed versus tobacco products, cigars and uh and cigarettes.
	And marijuana, marijuana in California they're talking about legalizing it just outright because it's uh it would be worth billions of dollars in proposed tax revenue every year on the sale of stuff.
	And I have a question also about uh this racist thing you're talking about.
	How can they be racist when I believe um the mother decides the race of the child, and I've always heard mama's baby, daddy's maybe.
	Does that apply?
	He could be just white.
	Uh and we don't have a problem with either one I'm like what he's doing.
	I had no idea I folks, I was generally confused here what she was talking about.
	I only now got it.
	Uh but but uh sh she's trying to say it doesn't matter to us what anybody's skin color is, and it's true.
	As I said earlier, our problem is not Obama's blackness, it's his redness.
	By the way, for those of you just joining us, we had a special announcement from the White House earlier today on this whole liberalization Of marijuana law stuff.
	My fellow Americans.
	Many of you are concerned about illegal drug use in our country.
	And I am too.
	So today, I'm instituting a plan to end all illegal medical marijuana use by making it legal.
	No longer will federal officers be allowed to enforce the law in states that want to get high.
	We call it don't ask, don't smell.
	They will not be allowed to question your prescription from a licensed professional dealer named Eddie for such ailments as rabies, headaches, acne, amnesia, or I just want to get high by allowing sick people to get their medicine.
	We will help those in our economy who were out of work and looking for a job to replace that job search with a new hobby.
	It will also have a greening effect.
	More kids will move back in with mom and dad once their ambition is cured by puffing on a blunt.
	Our economy will grow due to the side effect of increased random snack food use, which we plan to tax to help shrink the federal deficit.
	But the best result of don't ask, don't smell, is that my health care plan numbers will finally make sense to more Americans.
	People, change is in the air.
	So if you have a prescription to fight nicotine addiction, light up and take a long drag on me.
	cough
	Thank you.
	Here you have it straight from the White House on the future, the liberalization of marijuana laws right now that's on the medical side of things.
	Here again the story here.
	This is from the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
	Florida health officials drawing uh drawing up guidelines that recommend barring patients with incurable cancer, end stage MS, and other conditions from being admitted to hospitals if the state is overwhelmed by flu cases.
	So it sure sounds to me like the Florida death panel has got a little rationing going on here.
	They've already started it before Obamacare has been passed.
	The plan which would guide Florida hospitals on how to ration scarce medical care during a severe flu outbreak also calls for doctors to remove patients with poor prognoses from ventilators to treat those who have better chances of surviving.
	That decision would be made by the hospital.
	And they want to sit there and tell us that there's no such thing in the House bill or any of the Senate bills.
	Well, it's there, and it but it doesn't matter.
	It's already starting in Florida, and they're ginning up this swine flu scare like you can't.
	I mean, I I don't know about you.
	I don't watch a local news anymore, but I hear from a lot of people who do.
	And I hear that every night in local news from town to town in this country, you can bank on the first five or ten minutes of the latest swine flu panic story.
	And they're ginning people up about this.
	It's going to be really bad, and people are going to die.
	Oh, it's horrible, it's horrible.
	And now, can I read this to you again?
	The plan which would guide Florida hospitals.
	And this Florida Health officials now, I guess some state agency.
	The plan which would guide Florida hospitals on how to ration scarce medical care during a severe flu outbreak also calls for doctors to remove patients with poor prognoses from ventilators to treat those who have better chances of surviving that decision made by the hospital.
	Uh does any uh anybody want to dispute here that whatever you call it, there are death panels headed our way.
	A related story as the swine flu outbreak strikes the U.S. early and hard, health officials note a worrisome number of child deaths and warn that supplies of vaccine will remain scarce for at least the next couple of weeks.
	Delays in producing the vaccine mean 28 million to 30 million doses at most will be divided around the country by the end of the month.
	Not the 40 million plus that states have been expecting the new count from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention means anxiously awaited flu shot clinics in some parts of the U.S. may have to be postponed.
	Well, now wait a second here.
	I only have my wonderful memory to go on here.
	I seem to remember that Kathleen Sabutius said that we had enough vaccine.
	Didn't she say we had so much vaccine we had enough that we must take it?
	Uh And now, folks, I don't know if you've heard the latest panic.
	Yeah, I don't know if you've heard this.
	The media running with this one all over the place.
	They have actually found the swine flu in a pig.
	More than one.
	I thought it was just one pig, snurdly.
	I thought, now, granted, it was during the top of the hours glancing at this quickly.
	What should I do here, folks?
	Should I trust what I think?
	For my own credibility, should I trust what I think I saw in a fleeting moment?
	Or should I trust a valued member of the staff who said, no, it's many pigs.
	Okay.
	Okay, I'm being told to trust the staff.
	See, but you know, I wonder what the New York Times guys are saying to themselves about who to trust now.
	They trust Wikipedia.
	Do they trust the St. Louis Post Dispatch?
	Do they trust the Washington Post, Reuters, all these?
	That's tough out there, folks.
	Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
	Give you an object lesson in how the left, uh, the Democrat Party and the media operate.
	I think you're back to the Iraq War.
	Do you remember the daily, weekly obsession with the body count?
	The body count was one of many elements in the project that turned the American people against the war.
	They reveled every time a new uh denominator had been a hundred deaths, five hundred battlefield deaths, one thousand battlefield deaths in a row.
	Fifteen hundred.
	And they trumpeted this.
	And they made it sound like it was the first time ever in a war that any soldier had died.
	And it was not worth it.
	It was horrible.
	We had to get us out of Iraq and Obama and Afghanistan.
	Well, the tactic has been revised, and it's the swine flu.
	The swine flu.
	And the news about it is the new body count news for Obama and the media.
	No need to agitate anymore to get us out of Iraq in Afghanistan since Obama has that in the works.
	The new priority is health care.
	The new body count is H1N1 victims.
	And for the animal rights crowd, now we're going to start counting a number of pigs who get the disease and die.
	And then we're going to threaten the pig industry.
	We're going to frighten people that have, you know, not buying pork.
	So Obama's going to go out and attack that industry indirectly.
	This is how this works.
	So, and I got the story in this South Florida Southern Sentinel story and in an AP story about Scapley Sabilious and the vaccines, the body count is in there.
	The number of children who have died because of H1N1.
	And what makes it really odd is that it's not children who die from the flu.
	This must be really bad.
	It's seasoned citizens who normally perish in the flu, but now our future.
	So it's it's it's it's just the new battle.
	It's a new battlefield.
	But the same thing.
	Battlefield deaths, the new swine flu body count.
	All because the priority is health care.
	Now, I have here, ladies and gentlemen, page 187 of Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals.
	And this is in a chapter on converting the middle clause.
	The middle class are a fearful people who feel threatened from all sides, the nightmares of pending retirement, an old age with a social security decimated by inflation, the shadow of unemployment from a slumping economy with blacks already fearsome because the culture's conflict threatening job competition, the high cost.
	Oh, it looks to me like Saul Wolinsky was aggravate activating or advocating racial agitation here.
	Uh threatening job competition, the high cost of long-term illness, and finally with mortgages outstanding, the they dread the possibility of property devaluation from non-whites moving into their neighborhood.
	Now, this is rules for radicals.
	Alinsky advising people like Obama how to take advantage and promote all of these emotions.
	How to create this angst amongst people.
	And then there's this repeated financial crises result from accidents that the middle class thought they were insured against only to experience the fine print evasions of one of our most shocking confidence rackets of today, the insurance racket.
	So Saul Olinsky advocated converting the middle class to your side by attacking the insurance agency.
	And isn't it coincidental?
	It's happening right now.
	I think it was about ten days ago that I explained to you how the CBO scoring of the Baucus bill was a fraud that there was no bill, no legislative language, it was just a wild guess.
	Washington Post yesterday.
