I assume the version of the Holy Bible she is holding is the one currently being written to remove the "liberal bias" in other translations.

Well, she may be "Crazy" to the Left but her comments about Obamacare meaning cuts in patient care look like being proved right....The Feds want to cut mammograms for women over 40...Hope & Change !!

From Ann Althouse blog...

"Tens of thousands of lives are being saved by mammography screening, and these idiots want to do away with it."
"It's crazy — unethical, really."

In its first reevaluation of breast cancer screening since 2002, the federal panel that sets government policy on prevention recommended the radical change, citing evidence that the potential harms of all women getting annual exams beginning at age 40 outweigh the benefits....

The task force's new guidelines... [also conclude] there is insufficient evidence to continue routine mammograms beyond age 74....

.... Mammograms produce false-positive results in about 10 percent of cases, causing anxiety and often prompting women to undergo unnecessary follow-up tests, sometimes-disfiguring biopsies, and unneeded treatment, including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

Now, now, don't say "death panel." They're saying we'll be better off. Really we will. Cheaper too!"

Durruti,

The mammogram study originated during the Bush administration. There also is no such thing as "Obamacare."

Next untrue comment here gets you banned for one week.

Durruti said...

Strange, you threaten me with banishment for an "untrue comment" and yet you lavishly praise Dahr Jamail. How bizarre .

Yusef Asabiyah said...

When you offer untrue comments about others, it opens the possibility what you've said undermining Dahr Jamail's credibility is also untrue.

I don't know anything about Dahr Jamail beyond what I have read on this blog, but I do know Durruti is fast and loose with the facts and the conclusions he draws from these "facts."

Dahr Jamail is innocent until proven guilty, but more than that-- Dahr Jamail is not smeared just because Durruti says so.

I note Phil did not banish Darruti for making critical comments about Dahr Jamail, I think because Phil had not ascertained whether these comments were true or false. That was honorable. However, if the accusations are false, I don't have a problem with Durruti getting the boot. I do hope there is followup on Durruti's accusations against Jamail.

"I do hope there is followup on Durruti's accusations against Jamail."

Me too.
