To make a long story short, a Jewish man extols the virtues of the Israeli health care system, to which a woman responds with "Heil Hitler!"
The right-wing that makes such outbursts possible have really no real alternative of their own when it comes to our healthcare crisis. All they've been able to do is to spread outright lies about our president wanting to "pull the plug on Grandma," then likening our president with Adolf Hitler, and spreading all other manner of disinformation and ridicule designed to defeat any real healthcare reform.
Well, guess what? We're fighting back, and we're not going to stand silent while right-wing hooligans egged on by inflammatory talk show hosts and opportunistic GOP politicians try to shut down any real debate and (to borrow an oft-quoted phrase, "slow walk" health care reform to death.
We're not going to let them do that, and we're not going to let the mainstream media give these nitwits dominance over the debate.
Having said it, here's the video of what the Jewish man said and the anti-Semitic remark that followed:
As the Huffington Post reports:
As ThinkProgress points out today, "Conservatives have strenuously denied that there is any anti-Semitism on display by anti-health reform protesters at town hall meetings nationwide." Those denials are no longer tenable, are they?
