Hillary to right-wing ideologues: Leave the 12-yr old alone.

In New Hampshire today, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) addressed the right-wing smear campaign against 12-year old Graeme Frost. “They put pictures of him on these websites. Made it seem like it was wrong that his family sought help to take care of their son after he was injured,” said Clinton. “Attacking a 12-year old boy and his family because they stood up for the principle that children in the richest country in the world should not be deprived of health care? We can’t let that go on.” Watch it:

    I would sure like to see Hillary call out her Senate colleague, Sen. McConnell, and ask why he and/or his staff is engaging in this war against a 12 year-old boy. She should ask what McConnell intends to do about this.


  2. Marie says:

    Yes. It seems that the right wing has had this particularly nasty episode backfire on them – may there be many more.
    This one highlighted their mean-spirited, nasty humored, callous attitude toward those in America who don’t belong to the upper class, and are being shoved out of the middle class by the likes of the Republiscum.


  3. Marie says:

    Hey, Mark @ #1
    I just checked out your website – I have it bookmarked now.


  4. Shayne says:

    I’d like to see her call out somebody, anybody. She didn’t name names or refer to any of the creeps or networks and bashed this kid.


  5. Leftside Annie says:

    Shayne – the Democrats are still playing nice, i.e., following Marquis of Queensbury rules — and the Rethugs have been biting, gouging and hitting below the belt for YEARS.

    Not that I want the Dems to play dirty – but damn, I wish they’d get tough on these scumballs….

    I agree, and it seems to follow her modus operandi; only go after Dubya, not her fellow colleagues to any great degree. And I think that may backfire on her, as she is starting to look a lot like many of her colleagues, complicit in her vote on the war with no apology, her semi-hawk position on Iran, her questionable fund sources, etc.

    Maybe her early-day Repug roots are beginning to show!


  7. FunMe says:

    First of all, she sounds boring. Too monotone.

    Hillary might even win some of us progressives who don’t like her if she stood up with real spine and spoke on the Senate floor about the boy who was attacked. How about starting a resolution? You can go and protect a chicken like BETRAYUS but nothing official is done to protect a 12-year old boy?


  8. Shayne says:

    She is too wishy washy about everything. She can’t get mad, she won’t talk about Michelle Malkin or the senators office that leaked about this kid. She keeps bringing a knife to the gunfight the Rethugs keep waging.

    But, they did, and very well. Took care of the whole family. Good for them.


  15. Lefty Patriot says:

    Why aren’t his parents providing him with the proper health care coverage? Why do they rely on a government program?

    Comment by michael — October 11, 2007 @ 7:10 pm

    Do you build your own roads as you drive? Do you build your own water supply system? Do you fight your own wars (Hahahahaha)? they relied on a government program, and it worked perfectly. Too bad for you!


  16. Christian51 says:

    I’ve looked at the numbers and this family needed and deserved the help, period! I’m self employed like his dad and though I make a little more, I have gone 30 years without health insurance, I’m just lucky God blessed me with the health to get through it. If not for my wife’s company plan, I would still be uninsured.

    It is a shame when politics is this disgusting.


  17. AngryOne says:

    While Republican politicians, conservative commentators and the right-wing blogosphere continued their jihad against the private school scholarship of 12 year old S-CHIP beneficiary Graeme Frost, the Supreme Court Wednesday quietly handed the son of multimillionaire former Viacom CEO Tom Freston private school tuition courtesy of New York taxpayers.

    For the details, see:
    “Supreme Irony: Frost Attacks Continue as Ex-Viacom Chief Wins Tuition Case.”


  18. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    Maybe if some of the conservatives who have questions would read some of the articles about it (especially the ones from left-leaning sites that made the effort to print the facts, as opposed to ones from the right who just asked snarky questions), they wouldn’t ask such dumb questions as “Why didn’t the Graeme’s parents take care of his healthcare needs?” The answer, of course, is that they did! Just because someone has to rely on the govetrnment to get by does not make them a horrible person, no matter what some conservatives in this country think. Conservatives rely far more on our government than they will ever admit. And I would add that conservatives are far more hopeful that people will die than they will ever admit.


  19. Lefty Patriot says:

    You forgot to ask me the most important question! Do I pay for my own health care? The answer is YES! And so should they!

    Comment by michael — October 11, 2007 @ 7:14 pm

    No they shouldn’t, nor should you! You never answered my questions, which are very important, as they show how ridiculous you are with your hatred. these people would be homeless if they had to pay those bills, and you don’t care. that shows you are an evil, greedy hater, with no soul and no morals, so we don;t need your ignorant, hateful opinions here. they havenothign to do with th real world. the Frosts are recovering and their family is stable because of a good, solid, worthwhile government program. Too bad for you!

    Comment by michael — October 11, 2007 @ 7:12 pm

    Why are you so ignorant? NO INSURANCE COMPANY WILL PROVIDE THEM PROPER INSURANCE AT A COST THEY CAN AFFORD. You are irresponsible for not caring to know anything about their situation and not understanding that millions of people are in the same boat.

    Damn it. I will never respond to your ignorance again.


  21. koko the talking gorilla says:

    It is very stupid for the the Bush Cultists to demonize universal health care when its favored by 60-70% majority. Watching the GOP noise machine attack CHIP is like watching a zombie walk into a buzz saw.

    Too bad it takes something this bad (and relatively pointless) for Hillary to look like a Democrat. She certainly doesn’t look like one when it comes to war with Iraq, war with Iran, populist economic policy, opposing corporate lobbyist written foreign trade deals, single-payer truly universal healthcare, routing money to Wall Street via government 401(k)s, and a whole swath of other issues that people will still care about in 10 days…


  34. old_hack says:

    Comment by michael — October 11, 2007 @ 7:14 pm

    No, you don’t. Just like the Frosts, you pay a premium and your healthcare is subsidized by everyone else who contributes. Hope that’s not too far over your pointy little head.

    Comment by michael

    You are right Right Wing Loon michael. His parents should have sold their modest home, the father’s business and their family car to pay for the medical bills for their two seriously injured children. And that might have paid for 1/3 the total medical bills. Then they would have to declare bankruptcy because they would not be able to pay the rest of the bills. Then this would have happened:

    1) The doctors would have been stiffed the remainder of their bills.
    2) The hospitals would have been stiffed the remainder of their bills
    3) The family would now be homeless
    4) The father would no longer have a way to earn a living

    Is that what you would want to happen to this family and the people who treated the children Right Wing Loon michael?

    Something like 40% of the people who declare bankruptcy every year do so because of unpaid medical bills. And most of those people are insured.

    Comment by Wayne A. Schneider

    I read somewhere recently about how much the blue states subsidize the red states. Meaning that the red states use more of their government resources than they pay for and the blue states pay more for their government resources than they use.


  39. koko the talking gorilla says:

    “Red States Feed at Federal Trough, Blue States Supply the Feed”

    “The report shows that of the 32 states (and the District of Columbia) that are “winners” — receiving more in federal spending than they pay in federal taxes — 76% are Red States that voted for George Bush in 2000. Indeed, 17 of the 20 (85%) states receiving the most federal spending per dollar of federal taxes paid are Red States.”

  40. Snowball says:

    If Hillary were really serious about this, she’d put forth a motion in the Senate to censor Mitch McConnel for starting these scurrilous attacks.


  41. Race Condition says:

    Next time some corporation gets a huge bailout from the feds, I’m gonna quote michael on this. “wahhhhh mommy they’re taking taxpayer money!”

    Oh, wait… IOKIYAR.


  42. Keith says:

    We are not talking about one or two children without healthcare. From cbsnews.com May 2, 2007:

    “It’s estimated that 9 million children are completely uninsured. But the new study says 11.5 million more kids end up without medical care for part of the year. And another 3 million can’t get a ride to the doctor. That’s more than 23 MILLION CHILDREN.”

    In the other top forty nations in the world, there is not one single citizen without healthcare. And by the US switching to their single-payer government-run system, we would save $250 billion each year, administratively-alone.

    Only Kucinich of all the candidates favors this type. Do not be fooled by the plans of Hillary, Obama, or Edwards.

  44. Keith says:

    koko is right. For quite a few years now, whenever polled, about 66% of Americans are in favor of universal, single-payer, government-run healthcare.

    Maybe congress’ failure to do anything on that issue is another reason their approval rating is so low.

  48. TheToonGuy says:

    Just for fun, do a search for insurance rates for self-employed and compare them to what you pay through work. Find out how much your employer pays as their share of your policy. Imagine how much extra you’d be taking home if your employer wasn’t taking money out to pay for insurance.

    But all of this is moot when it comes to the Frost family. No private insuarance company would offer them a policy. Programs like SCHIP exist to help honest Americans who can’t get a break otherwise.


  49. Keith says:

    Comment by Shayne — October 11, 2007 @ 8:56 pm

    Yes, and the funny part is his homecare professional was out-of-network, not pre-approved, and it was a pre-existing condition. Therefore he was NOT covered. HA HA.

    Comment by Shayne — October 11, 2007 @ 8:34 pm

    Good Luck on that one. I have asked him that question several times in the past and have been ignored. He also says he is in the insurance business so it explains why he is sooo afraid of any changes in the current rip-off world we live in.

    I have a small company and pay my own premiums of $1300/month with a $30 copay and $2500 deductable. And I have an exclusion on my cancer, even though I am considered cured.


  59. Shayne says:

    That’s right Keith, maybe that’s why we have so many people in prison. Although it’s probably cheaper to give them them healthcare than keep them year round in a prison.


  60. Shayne says:

    These wingnuts always give you the base price insurance companies quote. But the states determine how much over that rate the insurance companues can charge. In Illinois that is up to 300%. My husband has a hernia that doesn’t need surgery, may never need it, and United Healthcare was charging us the 300% because he had a preexisting condition.


  61. Keith says:

    I had an appendectomy in Britain. I didn’t pay anything. They paid me a few hundred for missing work (not my workplace, the government). Everyone else in the ward was there for a hernia.


  62. Shayne says:

    Keith, that must be that horrible socialized medicine we hear so much about.


  63. Bad Eye says:

    Damn…the one time I don’t copy the comment I’m about to post, it doesn’t show up.


  64. pbg says:

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the current system is bankrupting GENERAL MOTORS. Japanesecar companies are building plants in Canada so as not to pay healthcare costs in the US. And on a smaller level, people don’t start businesses now because, even with money in the bank, they can’t leave their benefits behind. Companies don’t hire: they’ll use temps if at all possible, even if it impedes productivity–or they outsource rather than take on more employees. It’s killing our competitiveness.
    It’s not only a huge expense, it’s an expense that’s still growing by leaps and bounds. The big companies look at the future cost of healthcare, and they get a crick in the neck.
    With all that, if the health insurance industry provided something worthy of the name–health INSURANCE–it wouldn’t be so outrageous: they’ll pay your bills–except if you’ve got a pre-existing condition–and except when they decide not to. There a legions of people out there, successful people, who can’t get insurance for any money–because they have chronic diseases, or have had a heart attack, or any one of a number of pre-existing conditions–not for any money–and that means their spouse and their kids don’t get insured either. Take that in youer winger Econ 101 supply-and-demand pipe and smoke it.
    With just about everything else in America–a car, a house, a college education, you go and buy it, and you get what you pay for. If you’re an ignorant college student pretending to be a 50-year old woman, you might be excused for thinking that healthcare is like that: it’s not.
    It’s like dealing with a loanshark who keeps upping the interest and calling you into the office and saying we don’t cover that no more. And your co-pay just went up too.
    The trolls who scream about socialized medicine are the 21st Century Marxists. It doesn’t matter whether it works or not, but it’s been tainted by Sooocialism! Ayn Rand would not approve! Basing things on ideological purity is a good way to go the way of the Soviet Union.

  67. Jason M. Hendler says:

    That’s it, line up behind Hill’reh’s skirt.


  68. Bad Eye says:

    Let’s try this again…

    Back when TN was offering a state-run healthcare program called TennCare, I signed up. I was about 27 at the time, living at home with my Mom (who was single) and my employer did not offer healthcare. When filling out the info on the application, there was a section to list household members and their income. I called Mom to get the info, and she said she wasn’t giving them that info unless they explained why. So I called the help line, and the lady on the other end, who was quite hateful, informed me that if I wanted coverage through the program, I’d better put all household income down.

    So I did, and obviously this affected my premium. It’s a darned good thing that I didn’t have any other working family members living at home, because I would have had to list them as well and that would have made my premium higher. Never mind that I paid my own bills, and was trying to be as independent as I could.


  69. pbg says:

    If Hillary is smart, she’ll hold onto this and won’t let go.
    The resonance, despite the media chattering sbout her cackle, will be there for millions: The Mother will not let the Children die. The nasty ex mayor and the governor who strapped his terrified dog to the roof of his station wagon will both find excuses–but the Mother will not let the Children die.

    Accurate or not, it could pave her way into the White House.

    How about holding them responsible for over a million deaths in Iraq? How about questioning their intentions to really threaten the world with war on Iran? Nobody, including Edwards, is saying that.

    They need to say ENOUGH of this extremist crap, enough of endless war. Say that this administration and their paid lackeys are all spewing all of these lies to get you to believe their hate. We will do better. We will make the world a better place. Is that so hard? Or are they all just the same?

    I am worried as to who will be pardoned, because “Madam Table-less-mess Pelosi” will not let Rule of Law and Constitution carry forward and end this fascist madness.

    Remember this, the Bush Fortune, was built on the blood of the people murdered by the Nazis.
    Coincidence that we are in the midst of a fascist overthrow of our Constitutional Government and the Bush’s are involved neck deep?
    I think not.

    But that IMHO

    We’ll just go down and snatch their asses back. I’d take a kidnapping charge to bring those criminals back for trial.

    Maybe use some Blackwater thugs to do it. Now that would be a cruel twist of fate ….. and SOOOOOO appropriate!

    Zooey,

    I believe they did snatch some Nazis (and one British train robber) that way.

    We will all come visit you in prison.

    They’ll be in prison as well. I was thinking of that kooky bounty hunter guy on tv — whatsisname.

    Naw, send the pissed off troops. Paraguay should not be “harborin’ dem dayr terrist, don yawl know?”


  97. Bad Eye says:

    I’d prefer that they suffer for life in Abu Ghraib.

    Comment by Zooey — October 11, 2007 @ 11:15 pm

    Oh, the thought of Bush on all fours, in a leash! Mmmmmmmm.

    (snark)


  98. milesL says:

    Yeah…and how about her subtle smear campaign against all her opponents.

    I real hope GORE GETS IN THE RACE. WE DESPERATELY NEED HIM NOW.

    I peg Micheal for a college dropout. His constant ranting about “public schools” is a strong indicator of disdain for a system he couldnt handle…

    So tell us, oh wise one, the things you rely on that are paid by taxpayer money, and why YOU deserve them.
