I need to know about the crap about the doc's in Madison were do this or not.

There are now multiple reports, complete with photographic evidence and video evidence, that multiple physicians have engaged in a willful and deliberate violation of the AMA Code of Ethics.

1. Possible..... but to me it smells like a setup.

2. I did see some WI pictures

of MD's providing excuses for teachers - and thought that it was dangerously incriminating evidence (I support them but knew that the pictures could - no would - be used to start a witch hunt against those MDs).

3. That is why until I see names and proof that they are docs I am going to be skeptical.

5. Do you think they are

protesters posing as MDs or right wing plants? Or do you think the MDs won't be identifiable?

8. I find it very hard to believe any Doctor would risk their livelihood doing....

something knowingly against the AMA code of ethics.

4. There are right wing sources attempting to make big scary deal out of it

Frankly, I think stripping Wisconsin state workers of their collective bargaining rights is the real outrage. Wingnut distraction is so tiresome.

6. Well, it clearly states that it is conservative.

"This blog will contain social and political commentary, sometimes with a humorous twist, from a conservative and constitutionalist perspective."


Here's an interview with Nathan Sass: http://punditpress.blogspot.com/2011/02/interview-with-dinner-table.html

7. The blog itself it RW...

...it days so outright on its home page. What would you expect from a blog which includes and entire keyword categoty of "crazy liberals"?

I'm not inclided to spend much time digging through his archives, but how much you want to bet he hasn't been nearly so quick to whip out the RICO act when the people he cheerleads for engage in far more substantial crimes. And that would be assuming the current claim is true, which is not something that can be relied upon coming as it does from conservative activists.

9. Unsurprisingly, looks like suspicions of fakery are not misplaced...

So if this turns out to be a fake, will Mr. Dinner Table call for the AG to prosecute the MacIver Institute and associated persons? What sort of felony is creating fraudulent documents?
