Don't Fact Check Obama

NBC on Tuesday night tried to turn public opposition to ObamaCare into a “split” in public opinion discovered in a new NBC News poll as Chuck Todd assessed Obama's health effort is “still in serious condition politically, but it is stable,” and he listed four charges against the Democratic bills which he asserted have “been checked independently and proven to be false,” yet NBC didn't inquire about any claims from Obama and other liberals that those same groups have discredited.

Todd also tried to minimize the impact -- of what he derided as the “town hall madness” -- by attributing the view of them to partisan positions without mentioning how independents consider them beneficial: “And those town halls -- the country is evenly divided -- and by overwhelming majority, Democrats believe they're harmful. Republicans believe they're good.” On MSNBC.com, however, NBC News deputy political director Mark Murray pointed out: “Independents believe, by a 50-34 percent margin, that the protests have done more good.”

[Re: the illegal immigrant aspect of the poll, FactCheck.org claims this to be a false argument because ‘the House bill specifically says that no federal money would be spent on giving illegal immigrants health coverage'. But while the bill specifically states illegal immigrants are to be excluded, it also offers zero provisions to enforce such an exclusion, which in the real world means illegals will line up for the free services. The proof of this fact lies in the amendment to rectify have required immigration verification screening - but was shot down by Democrats in the House Ways and Means Committee in July. Why?]

Again, these bills have nothing to do with health care - they're about planting the seeds for governments eventual control of health care and by extension the populace.]
