Let me get this straight off the board here. The Smoking Ace loves the kids especially when they have stories to tell, truthful or not. I am just a sucker for children though I don’t have any. When a kid tells a true story about the things that are going on in his life, I cling to listen to it. Take Marcelas Owens (young man on the left) from Washington. His mother got sick, lost her job, lost her health insurance, and died. Just telling the story in a long version is seriously sad.
…..Don’t tell that to the Mt. Rushmore of Republican talk: Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Michelle Malkin.
Here is what Glen Beck said:
Here is what Michelle Malkin on her blog:
Never mind that there is not a shred of evidence that any health insurer ever “abused” Marcelas. Never mind that the family has made no claim that Marcelas himself has survived without insurance (in Washington state, low-income children have been covered either through Medicaid, SCHIP, or the SCHIP expansion program Apple Health for Kids).(see transcript)
And good ole uncle Rush said:
A little more research on the Washington Community Action Network. Technically, these people are not SEIU but they are involved with them. It's close. I want to be accurate here. They're not SEIU, but they're very much involved. And here is their basic stated mission: "to achieve economic fairness in order to establish a Democratic society characterized by racial and social justice --" which just means redistribution of wealth, that's what social justice means, "-- with respect to diversity and a decent quality of life for those who reside in Washington State." They got 50,000 members. That's who the mother of the woman who died works for, still the woman died. And then the woman's death is exploited by these people, along with the 11-year-old kid. (see transcript)
You see, this is what really kills me about Republican talk show pundits. They are heartless. They are saying “Since this little kid told his story, we are going to exposed his grandmother.” This kid believes that he can make a difference in each person life by telling his heart-warming story. This is not some sort of "Balloon Boy" incident, this is a child with a life that want to do better. There are certain things I say that is off-limit, ridiculing kids is a definite high priority. When the young kid came and said his speech at CPAC. I did not see one Democratic pundit ridicule him nor his parents. What conservatives think is that this young kids was exposed to say that. What if that child is telling the truth will shame all the humanity of the Republican party to the world. People are already saying that "All the Republicans want is what used to be. Things have change and people also change too." What these people are doing is calling bullying. If that is how you play it, do not get mad Michelle, Rush, and Glen if anybody start talking about you family members and such.
Should children be off-limits when they tell their story about things that concerns issue? If these people said something negative about you or your children and you belief of what you feel is true based on experience, what would you do?
