Remember when the leftblog echo chamber pretended Ron would leave uninsured to die?

I saw a blog saying something about that and they still believe that happened, so I'm posting the actual debate question and answer:



This is particularly galling because Ron in his private practice refused medicare, and medicaid, yet never turned anyone away for inability to pay, and gave terms or discounts or free care as needed. And he required that the guy who join his practice do the same thing, in order to become a partner.

bump because that idiot meme is being circulated again as one of the smears being recycled to get the left from liking Ron's new foreign policy institute -- at least that is why I assume the lie is being recycled.

just saw that meme again, apparently Chomsky believed Ron said it and said he did and trashed Ron, and that is what is being sent around. They are trying to split civil libertarians and non interventionists on the left and right.

Since Ron announced his foreign policy institute a bunch of smears are being 're' circulated. Chomsky may not even have said this recently.

The first reports often leave out key words, the CROWD called for it and they put it as if Ron didn't disagree or they cut right before his answer. Then the looser blogs reliably run with the 'impression' as fact. MOST only remember the many many google headlines which are fake.

This lie is still being circulated. I wonder if it is to keep those on the left from responding to his new foreign policy institute and keep people divided who might otherwise get together to create change.

It's not going to stop being circulated. They'll do anything they can to keep their political system in place - lie, cheat, steal, kill, whatever.

What does Chomsky think of Ron Paul? If he's really anti-empire he should support Ron, regardless of personal disagreement on economic issues.

He is a major leftist redistributionist and they justify it by appealing to emotions, not logical analysis imho (but then, I'm not such and have my own point of view of what is actually better for the poor and middle class.) However, he does agree on foreign policy as I understand it. to be honest, I don't really follow him, but I've seen a few clips of him talking about Ron.
