		<description>For Mrs. Frost, or anyone else to state, â€œThe nastiness caught me by surprise.â€ is astounding.

Someone slept through their first alarm. The noise machine has no shame or decency.

Rush and Mitch would much just as soon meet this young man alone in a quiet hotel room somewhere rather than give him or anyone else any federal or state assistance.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;So, this isnâ€™t an attack on the Frost family. Itâ€™s an expose [...] Grow up.&lt;/em&gt;

Get a clue. It is very stupid to demonize universal health care when its favored by 60-70% majority -- with no income test and no means test. 

Watching the GOP noise machine attack CHIP is like watching a ghoul walk into a buzz saw.

This is an issue most Americans care deeply about, and GOP members of Congress, if they want to keep their jobs, are gonna have to split with the White House on this. Thatâ€™s a first, and it bodes well for the Demsâ€™ effort to reign in Bushâ€™s Iraq fiasco.</description>

		<description>â€œThis is a perverse distraction from the issue at hand,â€ said Jim Manley, a spokesman for Reid, D-Nev. â€œInstead of debating the merits of providing health care to children, some in GOP leadership and their right-wing friends would rather attack a 12-year-old boy and his sister who were in a horrific car accident.â€

This is what is wrong with liberals.  No one attacked the children, and SCHIP isn&#039;t a program designed to help children in car accidents--it&#039;s healthcare.

Liberals like to avoid the facts.  No one is attacking anyone and no one is stalking anyone.  Libs abusing a 12-year-old boy brings out great investigations to the reasons why SCHIP is flawed so badly and one of those reasons is the Frost family.

I&#039;ve read many comments on many blogs, and it seems the left side of the issue can&#039;t deduce the benefits one gets being self-employed.  Write-offs are the wonderful blessing obtained in exchange for slightly higher insurance rates and higher mortgage rates.  The Frost family can afford the $500 or so per month to insure everyone but like any smart entrepreneur he&#039;s found a better option--free.  Free on *my* tab even though he makes (and has) much more than I do.

So, this isn&#039;t an attack on the Frost family.  It&#039;s an expose revealing the bitter truth that Dems try to hide behind a 12-year-old boy.  Grow up.</description>

		<description>#148, You expect a statement from McConnell about the despicable trashing of the Frost family?  Well, it ain&#039;t gonna happen.  

Ole Mitch is in hyper-spin today, covering all his tracks on this story.  But what about the email that Reid got?  We need to keep this story alive and hold McConnell responsible.

		<description>Where is McConnell?  Why hasn&#039;t he denounced the hateful and vicious attack on a young boy and his family?  Where is Lott?  Where is Boehner?  Where are all of the &quot;good&quot; &quot;chrisitian&quot; &quot;family values&quot; republicans whose duty it is to speak up against these vile, odious creatures who speak for them?

Their silence condones the words and the actions.  They use their disgusting putrid goons to attack children and families as the owners of pitt bulls allow their dogs to intimidate and attack passers by.  THIS then is the republican party.  They are disgusting.</description>

		<description>Typical hypocritical, cowardly Republican politics.  Vote the legislation on its merits, but get your attack dogs to demagogue on the issue.  Because who&#039;s paying the RNC bills? Big Pharma and the Healthcare-for Profit Industry, of course.  

But this is going to backfire bigtime.  These people have a biography that reads lower/middle class, but strong American values.  This program surely kept them from declaring bankruptcy, so they can remain part of the tax-paying middle-class.  This should be a cause for celebration that we have a government program that does what it&#039;s supposed to do...yet the Bushbots can&#039;t have that.  Much better to have people lose in the medical lottery and declare bankruptcy.  Much better to have our country degrade into a 3rd world economic darwinist experiment.

But the vast majority of Americans know better.  They understand that those that scream loudest against the Frosts have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.  I hope Vendetta, Toliver, RedState, FreeRepublic, Malkin, Steyn, Limbaugh, and the rest of the anti-American Bushbots continue to push this issue...they are making the choice in 2008 obvious for the American voter.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Typical hypocritical, cowardly Republican politics.  Vote the legislation on its merits, but get your attack dogs to demagogue on the issue.  Because who&#8217;s paying the RNC bills? Big Pharma and the Healthcare-for Profit Industry, of course.  </p>
<p>But this is going to backfire bigtime.  These people have a biography that reads lower/middle class, but strong American values.  This program surely kept them from declaring bankruptcy, so they can remain part of the tax-paying middle-class.  This should be a cause for celebration that we have a government program that does what it&#8217;s supposed to do&#8230;yet the Bushbots can&#8217;t have that.  Much better to have people lose in the medical lottery and declare bankruptcy.  Much better to have our country degrade into a 3rd world economic darwinist experiment.</p>
<p>But the vast majority of Americans know better.  They understand that those that scream loudest against the Frosts have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.  I hope Vendetta, Toliver, RedState, FreeRepublic, Malkin, Steyn, Limbaugh, and the rest of the anti-American Bushbots continue to push this issue&#8230;they are making the choice in 2008 obvious for the American voter.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=4114892', 400, 400)"></a></p>

To compare the 64% of Americns who favor universal coverage to devotees of Hugo Chavez demonstrates well how messed in the head some trolls the right are.</description>

		<description>By the way, how does one BAN the â€œpage downâ€ entries?

You know, the entries from trolls that I always ignore?

Wish TP was like C&amp;L or AB â€¦ trolls are banned fast!

&lt;em&gt;Comment by FunMe â€” October 10, 2007 @ 2:51 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Don&#039;t &quot;page down.&quot;  Read their comments, and if their comments violate the TP &quot;Terms of Use,&quot; click &quot;Report Abuse,&quot; report them, and ask TP to remove them from all threads.  

This takes some time, but it is worth the effort, in my opinion.

I have reported many of them, and I plan to continue to do so.

I&#039;ve also repeatedly asked my fellow progressives, like you, to join me, and I plan to continue to do so.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;...you are a busy-body tattletale.&lt;/em&gt;

This from a guy who came here to squawk about Malkin&#039;s phony exposÃ© of the Frost&#039;s vast wealth? 

You are a parody of a wingnut blowhard, aren&#039;t you?

Well if not, you &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; be.</description>

		<description>&quot;I am sorry most American dont want to live under tyrants like cha cha chavez.&quot;

again, to a parent whose child is sick and the medical bills are piling up, i&#039;m guessing that comparing democrats to hugo chavez isn&#039;t really going to convince the middle class that voting republican is the way to go.  and my apologies if you were referring to linda chavez.</description>
