Hey, Bill Fucking Maher: YOU CAN GET ON THE HEALTHCARE.GOV! Try it before buying into wingnut [View all]

talking points!!!!

I've been hearing this tripe from so-called Left political commentators all week long:

You can't get on the healthcare.gov website! You can't get on the healthcare.gov website!

YES YOU CAN GET ON!!!

I've been testing out the website all week long. On my Mac as well as my PC. On all times of the day when I get a chance and get breaks. On peak times, on off-peak times!

It's a fucking lie!!!

You CAN get on the site!!

Maher is not left or liberal lostincalifornia Nov 2013 #4

Somebody has gotten to Bill Maher and Jon Stewart. Can't watch either one much any more. libdem4life Nov 2013 #7

Jon Stewart tries too hard to be "even-handed" and goes way off the mark to prove he's unbiased. Liberal_Stalwart71 Nov 2013 #10
