If you are an American family and you speak out for health care for kids, right wing bloggers will drive-by your home, sniff around your work place and do price checks of your kitchen appliances in order to accuse you of making too much money to deserve help getting health care for your kids.
No, really.
Oh, and please note that the link above is from a
right wing blogger who disagrees with the expansion of S-CHIP, but thinks Michelle Malkin is a psychotic douche-bag. Rational conservatives are wincing at the drooling hatred directed at this family.
Quote:
[W]hile the Frosts were helping a bipartisan majority in Congress sell a plan to expand the program, they were not prepared for comments such as this one, posted over the weekend on the conservative Web site Redstate:
“If federal funds were required [they] could die for all I care. Let the parents get second jobs, let their state foot the bill or let them seek help from private charities. … I would hire a team of PIs and find out exactly how much their parents made and where they spent every nickel. Then I’d do everything possible to destroy their lives with that info.” […]
“Hang ‘em. Publically,” [a Redstate] contributor wrote. “Let ‘em twist in the wind and be eaten by ravens. Then maybe the bunch of socialist patsies will think twice.”

Malkin claims the outpouring of disgust over the hounding of this family is an attempt to silence her and the rest of the right-wing blogosphere - of course tactics like these are really about silencing
anyone who disagrees with her.
