That’s what racist healthcare protesters are shouting now. No, I’m not making it up. See for yourselves:
I have been blogging for the last couple of days about this-how protesters of healthcare reform are falsely claiming that providing health care to the uninsured would cover “40 million illegals“, aka economic refugees.
Besides the fact that their angry violent shouts are pretty disturbing onto themselves, their claims are actually based on pure lies.
Sadly, in the meantime the real culprits for our healthcare crisis are not being called out: the insurance companies. Instead of scapegoating Latinos for the healthcare crisis, the American public would do itself a favor and go after the REAL bad guys.
Ed Schultz & Robert Greenwald explain best who the real evil guys are:
We can NOT and must NOT let these extremist displays of disrespect and hatred go unanswered. It is time to go to these townhalls and tell these bigots to stop scapegoating immigrants and instead focus on the REAL evil doers: the greedy insurance companies’ top executives … people like Rick Scott, former CEO of a hospital company that defrauded the government:
So let’s go and let people know we will NOT allow for the scapegoating to continue any longer!Â

SEIU & Organizing for America also offer ways you can sing up online to stay involved.
IMPORTANT: Don’t forget to bring your signs demanding that protesters stop scapegoating immigrants while the greedy insurance companies’ CEO’s are being given a pass!
Be safe and be strong!
Update 08/14/09: I am telling you guys, the right-wing protesters’ shouts and signs are getting more radical, evil, and disturbing. Check this report out:
Hagerstown, Maryland – The Secret Service is investigating a man who authorities said held a sign reading “Death to Obama” outside a town hall meeting on health-care reform in western Maryland.
The sign also read, “Death to Michelle and her two stupid kids,” referring to the first name of President Barack Obama’s wife, said Washington County Sheriff’s Capt. Peter Lazich.
Looks like the demons out there are showing up and exposing themselves in all their gory glory :-/Â To read the rest of the report, go here.
