Washington Dem Congressman Smacks Down Right-Wing Lies At Townhall

This post is simply classic.
I'd call it "supercalifragelisticespeolodocious" (to borrow a word made famous in the 1960s Walt Disney movie, "Mary Poppins."
If all Democrats responded to right-wing lies the way Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) did in his townhall, boy, we'd beat these right-wingers to a pulp.
You can see the video on Crooks and Liars, but I would love to see more like this thrown in the face of Taliban Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX-32) when he holds his townhall Aug. 19 at Irving City Hall starting at 7 p.m.
Rep. Larsen didn't have to yell, scream, and threaten like the right-wing liars are doing. He stuck to facts and stuck it to the right-wing liar in a straight-forward manner.
Here's a transcript of Rep. Larsen's exchange:

CITIZEN: I have two real concerns about the nationalized health care insurance.

Why are all Americans forced into a government-run health care and insurance plan when only 46 million out of 312 million are uninsured? Do you want me to break down how those insured are found? 12 million are illegal immigrants, 17 million earn $50,000 plus and choose not to have inurance. 8.8 million without insurance for four months or less…or more because they’re between…they’re unemployed and between jobs. 8.2 are chronically uninsured. That’s a total of 46 million people. I’d be willing for the government to buy insurance policies for the 8.2 million chronically uninsured, but the other 37.8 million are not the responsibility of the American citizens and I will…I’m not willing…and I am unwilling to throw my present health care away for them.
LARSEN: Thanks. Thanks, Jim. Thanks for your input and your comments. With regards to the first comment about being forced to buy health care, I’ll say it again, not ‘till I’m blue in the face, I may get cold enough and I’ll look blue in the face here tonight, but it won’t be until I’m blue in the face. The bill does not force anybody to buy health care, to change…to change….I’m sorry, the bill does not force anybody to change their health care plan. If you’re in a plan, you will not be forced into the public option. You will not be forced into the health insurance exchange. Now folks will say that’s not true, but I’ve got facts on my side and you’ve got Glenn Beck on your side. It’s just not going to play off that way.

Rick Larsen, definitely my best person in the world
