Republicans bash health care using faked audiotape

by Hunter

You know what? If you're a group of political hacks so desperate to make your putative "point" that you have to doctor tape of oral arguments in front of the Supreme Court, maybe you need to just step back for a moment and reevaluate your sorry-ass excuse for a life:

A Republican Party web-based advertisement uses altered audio from U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments to attack President Barack Obama’s health-care law.

In a spot circulated yesterday, the Republican National Committee excerpts the opening seconds of the March 27 presentation of Obama’s top Supreme Court lawyer, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, in which he is heard struggling for words and twice stopping to drink water. [...]

A review of a transcript and recordings of those moments shows that Verrilli took a sip of water just once, paused for a much briefer period, and completed his thought, rather than stuttering and trailing off as heard in the doctored version.
Really? Really, that's the best we can do?

I'm not sure how we got to the point where "hey, let's try to make our health care system marginally better, and in a way that fully endorses the concept of these asshole insurance companies continuing to skim huge profits off the top because that's the goddamn American way" became the be-all, end-all point at which America's liberteez died, but by God I'm long past tired of it.

Apparently now the entire Republican National Committee can't manage standards any better than conservative internet troll James O'Keefe. I'm not saying we should have expected better—just noting how every festering little step in the health care "debate" keeps getting actively worse.

Republicans lie. That's all they've got, dishonesty.

Mitt Romney pushes his dishonesty to yet another level in new web video
