'Sicko'
is misleading
by Tom Harman
Excerpt:
At the briefing, Moore discussed his movie by
showcasing "tragedies" of our current healthcare system.
Wow - did he really put tragedies in quotes?
That implies there are no medical tragedies,
they exist only in Mike's mind.
Moore demonstrated his wholehearted support for
universal health care proposals currently pending in the
California Legislature; measures that would
strip away personal choice,
Objection!
No foundation and assumes facts not in evidence.
If you're going to state an opinion as fact,
as least give us a link or a footnote to back it up.
while imposing additional taxes upon small businesses
Objection!
No foundation and assumes facts not in evidence.
Plus, could anything be worse than the system
we have now?
to fund a socialized healthcare scheme for all California residents, regardless of citizenship.
Looks like the writer has no case beyond buzzwords
that drive the right-wing crazy.
Every American with insurance is involved with
"socialized" medicine.
Moore is nothing more than a sensationalist who
makes money on twisting half-truths
and producing factually inaccurate "mockumentaries,"
Objection!
No foundation and assumes facts not in evidence.
If you're going to call the man a liar, should
you run a list of lies?
...all at the expense of the victims of isolated tragedies.
I think it's called, "telling
their stories."
If Moore doesn't tell their stories, who will?
When was the last time the Huntington Beach
Independent ran a story on the disgrace
that the richest country in the world can't provide
their citizens basic health insurance?
It is amazing that so many legislators would give support and encouragement to this individual.
Why is it amazing?
You've given no reason why Moore shouldn't get
their support.
Heakth care is a real problem for the non-rich.
It seems to me that the Senate informational briefing
was nothing more than a soapbox
- provided at state expense - so that Moore could
promote his new film.
Moore is a filmmaker. That's how he communicates.
He could be producing dog-bit-my-crotch and turd-eating movies like
Ben Stiller,
Will Farrell, American Pie, Scream, Scary Movie, etc, but no,
he's not doing that.
He producing documentaries that open people's eyes to injustices around
them.
Moore has already done more good in his life than the Huntington
Beach Independent
and writer Tom Harman likely will ever do.
Next time you try to destroy a man and his art, bring some reasons with
you.
Oh, and before I forget, go Cheney yourself.
