Aug 18 New, Improved Minnpost: Conservative Free!

We knew it was just a matter of time.

MinnPost, one of the more successful lefty propaganda/news sites has evidently decided it was just too costly to keep paying people to write fairy tales for Democrats only to have conservative comments tear them to shreds.

In my case, the straw that broke the camel's back was this response:

I thought the strongest image in the Strib story was evoked here: "But with 20 minutes to go before the start of a health care town hall meeting there last week, every one of the 150 seats was taken. Throngs, some still in work boots, others in suits, lined the walls or found a patch of carpet. Some lugged copies of the 1,000-page health care bill, the margins marked with comments or
questions."

The Obamabots have been trying to paint the American mainstream that has been turning out to protest socialized health care as "uninformed".

The article, however, invites an image wherein Obama's leftist droogs, and George Soros' paid sock puppets are held off by a guy in work boots holding aloft a dog-eared, hand-annotated copy of the bill.

Think about that.

Regular Joes and Jills working 8 hour shifts and raising families, find the time to print out copies of the bill, read through it, notate it and create a list of questions.

The Democrat legislators that are trying to cram it down our throats can't even get to it with the help of their well staffed offices.

Why couldn't my Rep., Betty McCollum have taken a copy on her flight to Japan? 13 uninterrupted hours available to read the most important piece of legislation to be considered in this country; wasted.

I guess the sushi menu was much more interesting.

To this bit of amphigory from "bunny" Sparber:

"In the meanwhile, the Star Tribune's Chris Serres explores the causes of the angry town hall meetings and finds a lot of very worried and angry people, but very little real information -- one of the strongest images from the story is of masses of town hall attendees frantically scribbling down Web addresses that purport to have information regarding proposed reforms, while others complain that the current bill is too big to print up from their home computer and too bewildering to understand. The fact that there has been a lot of misinformation hasn't helped either. "

Well, you can see where I've gone over the line, can't you? No, it wasn't the profanity laced run-on sentences......it was "Sockpuppets"....they hate being reminded about the sockpuppet thing; especially on pay day.
