Oh that is histerical. A blogger has a picture of the dead tree version of the N&O, and
it has the ridiculous NO Pubic Option featured. Did someone at the N7O realize and did this on purpose?

See the dead tree version here:

You have to wonder if the folks are that ignorant or if they've been infiltrated so as to make them look stupid.

OMG this is a scream.

anyone on here notice that on the 2nd picture that the ignoramous in on the left side, her huge sign says "no pubic care"

 LMFAO.... idiots i say.

also, to those against the bill, have u ever even read it??  oh lemme guess, cause Faux, crap.. i mean Fix... no wait... Fox news says its so, it MUST BE SO.  You all rallying like this is EXACTLY what your dear media wants you to do, they are feeding off the display you all are making.  You all are an embarassment to being an American.  

It is evident in your ranting diatribe that you were not and have not been coming to any events such as this. There were numerous BLACK Americans in the crowd as well. Not African-Americans, because none of them were actually born on the African Continent according to the ones that I spoke with, but real live Black Americans, people that were born and raise right here in North Carolina. There were also Indian-Americans who emigrated here from India, Korean-Americans who came here for a better life. There were Japanese-Americans who have emigrated here from Japan for a better life, Greek-Americans who came here for a better life. And the list goes on. Why is it that America is still the NUMBER ONE country that people want to immigrate to either legally or illegally? Because this is where a person can work hard and make a go of it for them self! They come here for economic and political freedom that they did not have in their homelands.

As for Liberialism/Statism, that is the agenda that the so-called Democratic Party wants to achieve in this nation. Total control over our lives with us beholding to the "Almighty State." Why is it that the Democrats are a bunch of "educated" elitist that believe they know what is better for all the rest of the country. Why do they refer to the areas outside of New York, Boston, Washington, and Hollywood as "flyover country?" It is because they cannot stand to be around the great "unwashed masses" of people who make up the GREATNESS of this nation. They serve no one but themselves!

Senator (sic) Kay Hagan, D-NC, HAS REFUSED TO HOLD TOWN HALL MEETINGS. Therefore, a specific individual from the Triangle Area had a specific appointment to discuss specific issues concerning healthcare. When Hagan found out that the people of North Carolina were lining up to see her at the time this lady was due to meet with her, SHE CHICKENED OUT and claimed a previous "family engagement" (according to WRAL-TV). She sent her office lackies to do her job--listen to what the people had to say!

Study your history. This battle has been raging in this country since the Granddaddy of all Liberal/Statist—Franklin D. Roosevelt was in office. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRdLpem-AAs&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwethepeoplenc%2Ening%2Ecom%2F&feature=player_embedded

Why is it that when we see fundraisers for needy causes it is predominant Conservative business people who are the ones donating their time and money for these events? The only time I see Liberals/Statist shelling out any money it is to put some "mouthpiece" in charge of a bunch of elitist who don't give a damn about the ordinary man. Do you give a tenth of your income to support any that are less fortunate than you? Or do you just suck at the hind tit of government largess like most Liberals? As for me I do give a tenth and more each month to support Falcon Children's Home right here in North Carolina. And by the way, it is not an orphanage run by the STATE. It is an orphanage that is run on private donations and it teaches the children manners, self-worth, and self-reliance. All of which grossly appear to be lacking in your character as evidenced by your writings.

As for both the Republicans and Democrats, they are both as corrupt as can be. They remind me of the Mafia. You have the Gambino's on one side and the Genovese's on the other side fighting over turf until some outside force comes against them at which point they unite. Well, that is what is happening right now in Washington. The people in the Heartland of America are sick and tired of being caught in the crossfire between politicians that can't or won't follow their oath of office. We The People are coming together to make a change in this country and it will be for the better because we are going to bring this nation back to being a Constitutional Republic like the Founding Fathers designed it to be! I am neither a Republican nor Democrat! I cannot stand either party because of the inherent corruption that percolates through both parties at all levels!

As for the Patriot Act, I think it is the most despicable piece of legislation that was ever fostered on this country to date. Giving the Government "legal" authority to spy on it's citizens and having agents at transportation points to "check your papers, please," i.e., Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) reminds me of Communist China, the old USSR, Saudi Arabia, Angola, Zimbabwe, Cuba, or Nazi Germany. The Patriot Act is about as un-American and UNCONSTITUTIONAL as you can get! I am so frustrated with the whole situation that I don't use commercial air anymore to travel. The last time I flew anywhere on a commercial airliner I showed up at the airport wearing just my bathing suit and flip-flops so that we could speed up the process of strip searching me! Nowadays I just drive or use my private pilot's license to fly long distances.

As for millions losing their homes--they lost their homes because they were not able to manage their money properly! When people live beyond their means they are bound to find themselves in deep, deep trouble sooner or later. As for me, I live within the confines of my means. I don't know and don't care what you credit score is. But mine is 830 out of an 850. And why is that? Because I only have one J.C. Penney's card and one credit card. And I pay both of them off when the bill comes in! I normally pay in cash. I learned as a boy, neither a lender nor borrower be! It has served me well all my life.

Addressing the issue of poor and low-income families in America let's start by saying that they need to get off their butts. They are poor and have low incomes because they are too lazy to stay in school and get an education. As for me, I grew up going to school in the "poor Southern school systems of south Georgia." When I went to school the LOCAL school board directed our education. It was not mandated and run from Washington. Therefore, we learned to READ, WRITE, THINK CRITICALLY, and to DO MATH WITHOUT A CALCULATOR OR COMPUTER! As a result of that education I was able to go on to earn 3 college degrees, get a pilot’s license, and have learned to get a bed, a bath, and a beer in eight different languages! And you? What are you capable of doing with your education? Today’s “education” is a total waste of time in the public setting. All public school teachers are doing today is being babysitters for a bunch of juvenile delinquents. To give you an example of this I stopped at a fast food facility in Raleigh after the rally for a burger. The total price was $6.25. I gave the “cashier” $11.25 for the meal. The idiot behind the counter (with his pants hanging below his butt) told me that I was overpaying for the meal. I informed the uneducated village idiot that he could give me a $5 bill in change and all would be well. He then proceeded to call over the manager. Like I said, the person was the village idiot. I explained to the manager what was going on. The “manager” told me I should not have given the cashiers the $11.25 because it would just confuse them. They only knew how to operate the cash register and give the change shown on the machine. At that point the “manager” gave me back $6.25 and told me to have a nice day! And then we wonder why they are working for minimum wage. Give me a break! Stay in school and get an education! I did! And so can you!

As for me "rioting" because the current administration is trying to give Americans health care I have not seen any "riots" nor have I have seen anyone being hauled off by the police for unruly behavior. In fact, we generally thank the Raleigh Police Department for the fine job that they do. However, I have seen numerous instances via the Internet and television where union members have attacked people who have been expressing their rights under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. And just for your edification I will post the First Amendment right here: Amendment I—Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free expression thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

And for as attacking me for my service to my country, just exactly what have you done to serve your country or your town or your neighborhood? Have you ever been part of the Jaycees and raised the funds needed to build the North Carolina Jaycees Burn Center at UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill? I was! Have your ever volunteered to serve as a Boy Scout Leader even though you don't have children because you gave up the opportunity to have a family because you answered a higher call to serve your nation? I do! Do you ever take a disabled friend or neighbor to the doctor or grocery shopping? I do every week! Have you ever stopped at a bus stop and offered a man (a stranger) in a wheelchair a ride to wherever he needed to go? I have! Do the neighborhood kids come over to your house to learn how to work on vehicles or do woodworking because either their parents are not home or are too ignorant? All the time at my house! Do you ever take the neighborhood kids fishing or camping so that their parents can have a little time for each other? I do! SO TELL US JUST WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SERVE OTHERS? Like most bleeding heart Liberals you just want to sit on your hands until they go numb then jerk yourself off and claim that somebody else did it to you!

As for being labeled a “racist pig” let’s not forget that “Princess Pelosi” is the one that started it all by calling Americans that are standing up for their Constitutional rights both Nazi’s and the new Klan. So if standing up for the Constitution of the United States makes me a “racist pig” or a "Nazi" then so be it. And speaking of the Constitution, I challenge you to show me anywhere in the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution of the United States, or the Bill of Rights where anyone has a “right” to guaranteed health care!

And unlike the rest of you sniveling dogs I have the gonads and the backbone to sign my name!

bitching about things they obviously don't have a clue about. If you are collecting social security...YOU are benifiting and collecting out of a socialist program. If you are using medicare....YOU are benifiting and collecting out of a socialist program. If you are collecting military retirment...YOU are benifiting and collecting out of a socialist program. If you have ever had to call or make use of the police or firemen of your town...YOU are benifiting and collecting out of a socialist program. So if your using and benifiting from a socialist program..you are a hypocrite to be bitching about it. As to Liberalism you stupid old women..YOU wouldnt be allowed to vote or to be wearing those pants or to be able to die your hair or even cut it or be out in public without your male family members or husbands escorting you if LIBERAL men and women had not fought and died for you to have those rights. It was not conservatives that built this nation, all they have ever done is run up debts. You people seem to have forgotten in less than eight months that these debts were run up under Bush and his administration. They are also the ones that put the bail outs in motion. Obama only inheirated Bush's mess. And yet you blame him. You didn't get mad when the offical 9-11 story was full of holes .  You didn't get mad when they Patriot Act was already written before two weeks had passed...all over 800 pages of it...which tore the Constitution (that some of your "morans" claim to have taken an oath to uphold) to shreds. You didn't get mad when our nation bombed an innocent nation and our children were marched off to serve and die in yet one more war based on a pack of lies. You didn't get mad when treason was committed and our agents outted for political gain. You didn't get mad when you found out millions were losing their homes or when the rich were bailed out once again by Bush and company. Hell no...you didn't get mad then but you sure got mad when Obama tried to help out poor and low income Americans and to try to insure those without medical care.  I can't write this as well as the original DUer that wrote the long long list of crap you didn't even bat an eyelash over but I think you get the idea.

You people make me sick and ashamed of you..and especially YOU sir who claim to be such a patriot and in the military. YOU sir have FAILED to uphold your oath when you supported Bushs lies. YOU sir have FAILED to be a patriot when you riot when our president is trying to help AMERICANS have health care. YOU sir have FAILED to be an American when you are proud to claim the name of racist pigs.  You sir are a disgrace to all the Americans that fought and died for the Constitution and especially to the proud marine corp.  You sir are attacking the COMMANDER IN CHIEF you idiot.

The sign in the 2nd slide is just another embarrassment for North Carolina. It says "No PUBIC option".   :O

Why did the N&O only show the anti health care signs?

See the advertisement in upper corner of this paper for "Coalition for Responsible Health Reform".

Who is that, exactly? 

Because the Coalition for Responsible Healthcare Reform (CRHR) is a front group created in 2007 by Blue Cross of California, the state's largest insurance company. The group's website is registered by the insurance company

In May 2007, the Associated Press and other publications reported that Blue Cross had "set aside $2 million for what is likely to be a deep-pocketed campaign to undermine the health care reforms being pushed by Democratic lawmakers and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger."

I highly doubt that any of your orders contained that phrase: "Liberalism/Statism/Socialism/Communism" - and which "liberal" countries you were waging war against, since I'm assuming now that you believed we waged war against nations that held free, open, and honest elections. Flying experience doesn't make you an expert in the social constructs of any nation. And you don't seem to complain about a career which not only provided you with special benefits, discounts, medical care, and retirement (all paid for by my taxes) but you readily accepted those benefits as an entitlement for serving your country.

Not every veteran gets those privileges. For example, in many of those wars you participated in, decorated gay and lesbian soldiers were dishonorably discharged for no other reason than conservative "witch hunts" and the conditions of their discharges left them with no benefits for serving their country. They took the same oath that you did, Sir, and received nothing back in return, even though more than 20 million of their fellow gay American citizens paid taxes. If you took an oath to defend the Constitution, and the Constitution says nothing about some Americans being "unfit" to serve AFTER they've already been enlisted, served with distinction, and committed no related crime to that service, why is it that you failed to smell THAT skunk?
