Cavuto vs Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee- Playing the human shield game

January 20, 2011 | Jim Vicevich | |

It’s not new. Democrats use human shields to push every piece of big government legislation they propose. It’s just unusual to find someone like a Neil Cavuto to call Democrats on it. Fantastic ands funny … it’s your Cavuto moment of the day.

The noted constitutional authority Sheila Jackson Lee comes on the show to defend her statement that people will die if Obamacare is repealed. In doing so she brings her own background … held by a staffer … in what could be called either a laugher … or a trend? The problem is with the background. It is a woman in the hospital being treated under Medicare … not Obamacare, and Cavuto calls her on it. Good job.

The use of human shields used to make conservatives and journalists back down in a New York minute but no longer. The fact is the Congresswoman could not produce anything to prove her point that people will die if Obamacare is repealed because it’s just not true. Perhaps even the opposite is true when we factor in your health care will be controlled by HHS and Dr “Death Panel” Berwick.

    One has to wonder just how bad a Democrat spokesperson has to be to have the Dem leadership pull them aside and say "give it a rest,  you are embarrassing us".  Especially when it is so easy to demonstrate how pitiful she is.

     

    Of course, maybe she isn't embarrassing them….

     

    She just can't get off her talking points; a mindless Democrat zombie of Bob Hope fame!

    She believes her facts are accurate because she can exploit the elderly being treated through Medicare in order to argue for Obama care.  For God's sake, when am I going to wake up from this ridiculous 2+year nightmare I've been having since Obama was inaugurated?  Is it possible for the collective IQ of democrats in Washington to plummet even further?  Wait, wait…don't answer that.  I'm pretty sure I know the answer.

    Is that a parachute wrapped around her neck, or is someone applying a neck tourniquet?



Cavuto pissed
