CU Obama basher Zach Lahn gets shut down on MSNBC

• Well done, Anonymous.

• What a complete tool! How did this mental midget end up on the air? Geez.

• RT @troll, climb back under your bridge. How stupid are you, exactly? Had you rather a bottom-line-driven insurance company, whose executives net hundreds of millions to deny your coverage, deciding on your heart transplant -- a death panel for which you have no redress and fear raising a ruckus because you might lose your insurance entirely? Get real. Zach asked for an example, received an answer, then refused to accept it. That's disingenuous debate. He comes off as a petulant child, as most Republicans do. Need more examples? OK. Private health clubs compete with public rec centers just fine. Private toll roads compete with free public highways just fine. Private schools compete with public schools just fine. And, guess what, despite Medicare, Medicaid and the VA, private insurance companies are doing just fine. I guess you can't help someone see if they refuse to open their eyes.

• When you absolutely positively need a document overnight...no one sends the document via US Mail. When I need you to absolutely positively get a heart transplant you don't need Obamacare to decide if you need it or not.

• In the age of "email."

• That boy is a fine specimen of <b>Teh Stupid�</b>. First class mail is the a money-losing proposition in the age of mail.

• I thought he did good... We ARE a whole different animal, this is probably this kids first time on TV and he did better than any of you hide behind the computer types ever would. Im not saying I agree 100%, but it takes some balls to call out the media for not researching the president...

• "We're a whole different animal from anybody else." What a tool. He can't even handle Wolf Blitzer, the biggest softball-lobber on the air.

• Why do you torture me, Anonymous? Mentioning Sarah Palin and boob (mmmmmm) in such close proximity to a mention of Joe the Plumber and Republican. p.s. Zach Lahn is a tool. I'd rather watch a Mattress King commercial.

• I laughed more at the CNN clip. Zach insinuates he was not a McCain campaign volunteer, then hems and has to explain he only volunteered after Palin joined the ticket and then he just made some phone calls. Um, OK .... so then you were a McCain campaign volunteer? First, Joe the Plumber. Now, Zach the boob. I also liked the fact he wouldn't call himself a Republican. Hey, at least the kid knows enough to be ashamed. More than you can say for Sarah Palin.

• So Contessa Brewer cuts Zach Lahn off because she is running out of time. That is a pretty common occurrence in TV and radio interviews. I don�t know how that translates into a bumpier ride. The exchange was relatively decent and Zach was still able to make his points� except for his last point because Contessa ran out of time. That is what she said and I am going to take her at her word. So again, Westword is reading into things and trying to spin nothing, into something. I guess the hard economic times has your publication looking to do anything to get readership. Start reporting on real news. Who cares about right wing or left wing. Take a stab at substantive reporting and stop with the banal desperate attempts at entertaining the lowest common denominator.
