After discussing Coburn's blocking of Unemployment Insurance, which he argues has to be "Paid For" even though Coburn didn't previously make this kind of argument when he voted for the $Trillion Bush Tax Cuts, Funding extensions for the unnecessary Iraq War or the $Trillion Medicare Part-D Prescription Drug Donut Hole, Cavuto finally gets to the point... Why did you single out Fox?
Unlike O'Reilly - who made worst persons for denying it - Fox actually did promulgate the LIE that people will be arrested if they refuse to purchase Health Insurance when in fact - there is no penalty.
SEC 5000A Subsection G (A) WAIVER OF CRIMINAL PENALTIES- In the case of any failure by a taxpayer to timely pay any penalty imposed by this section, such taxpayer shall not be subject to any criminal prosecution or penalty with respect to such failure.
At the end of this discussion Coburn actually makes a compelling argument that Conservatives need to fight for their convictions using the truth and facts, not lies and distortions. It's something that I think takes Cavuto back a bit, but it's something that needs to be said and repeated. The problem is that Conservatievs and Tea Partiers have dived so deeply into the Conspiracy Theory Woods with accusations that the President crafted th Nuclear Summit Logo to look like a Muslim Flag - instead of a like an ATOM - that's at this point they could find the truth with both hands and a GPS.
But I'm glad somebody gave them some Tough Love, they desperately need it.
