So turnabout seems fair play. Even though many of the protestors used talking points from conservative websites bankrolled by the pharmaceutical and health insurance industries, that's fair play in America, too. If they were motivated by fear, and not by payola, that's fair play protesting in America.
It may be asinine, but it's fair play.

And ISM, while I appreciate you sharing that sentiment, don't pretend many protesters on the left don't just take their talking points from liberal websites.
As far as who the pharmaceutical companies might be with....have you read this? Obama's been secretly dealing with them behind the scenes.

I never said there wasn't bias against Bush, the man. I was just responding to the claim that the health care protesters had no bias against Obama himself.
