Article on HuffPo using Kent Snyder's death to attack libertarianism and Ron Paul

[maqsur]

Take some time and read the comments posted, you will see some ignorance that had me shaking my head.

I think it's funny how those commentators are up in arms over Kent's lack of health insurance, claiming that libertarianism and/or Ron Paul are at fault; I mean, let's remember, Kent did receive two months of ICU care, he wasn't out on the streets. Several of the posters are clamoring for universal health care.

The author, in my opinion, is just using Kent Snyder's passing as a way to attack Ron Paul and libertarianism in general.

Have a read, and see what you all think.

Great, now every time a socialist dies we have to write "where's your universal health coverage now"?

 

[votefreedomfirst]

Why would you read that garbage site, nevertheless give them exactly what they want (traffic)?

 

[malkusm]

It takes quite a bastard to make an insulting political statement out of a patriot's death. If we want to take back the country, we should start by cleaning out the sewers.

 

[maqsur]

Sometimes they have some interesting articles.

It's good to read different viewpoints, whether radical liberal lefty, or hard-core warmongering neocon.


That way, we know what we're up against. Besides, I love reading like-minded things, but I also like to see what else is out there, because it just reinforces my own political viewpoints.

 

[mport1]

Wow, thats despicable.

 

[revolutionman]

I'm actually creating an account just to go blast some idiots

poor man is spinning in his grave like a rotisserie chicken because these socialist pigs try to make him a sad sappy statistic to further their insidious nanny state ambitions. They feel so damn sorry for him, but i bet none of them are willing to donate to help his family and their time of need. Their form of government has to obligate them to be compassionate toward their fellow man, because the truth is they care less than we do. You wont see that on the news.

Who the hell do they think put that site together? Bleeding heart liberal democrats??

 

[powerofreason]

I had to stop reading the comments because I got so pissed at the ignorance I was encountering.

Edit: I'm gonna go make an account and refer them to some mises articles.

I'm shocked and outraged he would use Kent's death to score some cheap political
rhetorical points like that. Its disgusting.

Their email confirmation is slow as fuck...

 

[Sandra]

Don't visit that troll site and let it die. Their readership is dropping off and they're using troll articles to get RP supporters to join, and post dissenting opinion. It's more of a hostile membership drive.

Is it true that he did not have insurance or is that just BS?

No he didn't have insurance. I read that was because of a pre-existing condition.

This makes me sad. I wish Ron Paul would write a response.

 

[RP4Pres2008]

Ron, or someone, needs to respond to this!

 

[NH4RonPaul]

Liberals will stoop to any level even the name of a dead man to acheive their aims. They don't care.
They are the lowest of the low.

 

[angelatc]

Not to mention they don't seem to let facts stand in the way of their objectives.

 

[Aratus]

would this all be worse if hillary won out? between teddy kennedy's cancerous tumor and
poor kent snyder being a jack of all trades and juggling proverbially easily 15 plates in the air
while carrying the weight of the campaign on his sholders, are we now seeing the traditional
campaign worker status being redefined totally by this? if we all could get at least $40,ooo
up by the 17th, and a further chip-in for the rest that has the fall conventions as a timeframe
goal... wouldn't this be a fitting way to celebrate a life lived well??? anyway... this is my opinion...

I'm upset about this too, but lets not go filling our mouths with hatred toward liberals, especially when it was a Republican candidate (Rudy) who ran on the "I was there when 9/11 happened" platform. Thats one man using mass murder, terrorism, and a national tragedy to achieve his aims. This is just Bluffington Post trying to make a name for itself by any means necessary.

 

[Kludge]

I'm not going to read it...

 

[The_Orlonater]

This is why I hate liberals. They're disgusting; unter-mensch liberals. How could any human write that?
