[lbo-talk] repulsive right-wing press release

[Sean Andrews]

First off, this seems like a real missed opportunity for the right:
why not spin it is as the US having such an awesome health care system
even rich Turks want a piece of the action?

Second, how can the good Dr. cite the CIS in good conscious: they are
total hacks and no one with any credibility would cite that org--that
and a completely uncited wiki (which appears to be misspelled--not
CoperWiki but http://www.copperwiki.org/index.php?title=Birth_Tourism)
are two of the press-release ready citations.  I can only imagine what
jewels of authority he cites in the long form.

And third, anyone notice the name of the "Frosty Wooldridge."  I,
personally, felt the whole thing was an elaborate set up for an
Onion-type joke, where the punch-line was this guy's name. That and
the citation of a random wiki. Definite LOL there.

People who read this kind of crap deserve the awful government they
get.  I just wish we didn't all have to live under it.
