Katy Abram ("the sleeping giant" from Specter's Town hall) a picture worth 1,000 words.

[PA Democrat]

So that's it folks, this stupid woman who has a catastrophic high deductible health insurance policy fears for her "freedom", not bankruptcy due to a serious illness or accident.

[Richardo]

1. Is that the Rhodes Scholar that Hannity was so proud of yesterday?

Yikes.

[PA Democrat]

9. Yeah , the woman who stated that her husband changed her political views.

He looked so PROUD of his Stepford wife during that interview didn't he?

[Richardo]

11. I only heard her on his radio program

They sounded well-matched for each other intelligence-wise.

[PA Democrat]

14. Link to the TV interview here.

She was just loving Hannity's flattery. Don't watch unless you have a strong stomach.

[Richardo]

18. Thankfully the office blocks youtube :-D

I got all I needed of Hannity in a 10-minute burst yesterday. :)

[zbdent]

34. that sure sounds like our view of conservative women, doesn't it?

that they are forced to bow down to their husband, as opposed to being able to think for herself ...

[Kalyke]

39. Have you ever met a Freeper woman?

I won't say "conservative" woman - because there are those who are conservative for a variety of other reasons.

But, in this case, the author's view of Katy is dead-on. She seems to have been completely molded, whole cloth, by her HUSBAND's point of view. She doesn't seem like she thinks much for herself.

If she did, she'd know that universal health care INSURANCE would be cheaper for her, her husband, me, you, our families, our friends AND our enemies than the high deductible-low-out-payment-co-pay-no-pay-drop-you-like-a-hot-potato-if-you're-sick shit we have now (plus, she'd know that we're speaking of health insurance, not care).

[zbdent]

40. I encountered a RW nutjob who was orgasmically happy that God gave America

George W. Bush ... when he was in Richfield, Ohio ...

[Kansas Wyatt]

41. She's bought and paid for, and she has monetary interest in her passion

Does she have a job, or did she do well and "retired" early? I would suspect that she "did well" at marriage.

For someone who claimed to not care about politics, she was certainly motivated to score on all the talking points she brought up, and she was looking around the room for approval.

[flakey_foont]

31. geez

so Hannity has found another 'great Amurkin"?

yay! The people who really speak for the Average Amurkin.....this lady, Joe the Plumber, etc..

not exactly the inner circle of MENSA, are they?

[peacetalksforall]

2. Living walking proof that the sense and sensibility and logic capabilities of

these lemmings has been hammered out of them by right wing media.

[demodonkey]

3. OK, I pick universal healthcare.

Because once you (or a family member) is sick and you are caught in the web of the insurance/corporatist providers, your freedom is gone anyway, along with life as you knew it, and maybe even your life, period.

I would call her a stupid bitch, but a bitch is a nice animal.

THERE ARE NO WORDS for the anger I feel when I see these assholes.

[HughBeaumont]

4. There's just no talking to these idiots.

It's called "Low I.Q.". What are you going to do? They walk among us. I wish it weren't so, but sadly, it IS.

[OnyxCollie]

5. Choose Freedom

to hand over your cash to insurance bureaucrats who will look for ways to dump you when you get sick.

Idiot.

[undeterred]

24. Great dog pic!

[OnyxCollie]

28. Thank you!

That's my boy, Dante.

[C_U_L8R]

6. Boxed in by the stupidity of their own false choices.

If republicans want to fend for themselves for health insurance.... be my guest.
What losers.

[Cass]

7. These people have no idea what they are saying. Her rant at the town hall proved that.

It truly baffles me when I see people like her so deluded that they are eager to passionately work against their own interests.

[Solly Mack]

8. People demanding the freedom to be oppressed

The mind reels

[Solomon]

22. LOL

That about sizes them up.

[Solly Mack]

27. Unnecessary economic hardships must give them the incentive to work harder

be more productive & please the boss...keep'em working longer and harder for less and less.

And these people are begging for it

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. I guess you're too stupid to deserve both, right Katy?

[ThomWV]

12. So - she won't be free if its the Government rather than a company pays for her health care?

[Vickers]

13. Just think of all those enslaved Canadians, Germans, Japanese, etc!!!!!

:eyes:

Do these people ever TRAVEL?

[Ikonoklast]

20. For the most part, the answer would be 'no'..

I would wager most of the people who are protesting the __________(you pick, it's actually a melange of grievances now) live and die within a twenty mile circle of where they were born, and have never ventured outside the confines of the borders of this country.

First their parents, then their preacher, teachers, spouse, and boss all tell them what is good for them, their entire lives, and that's good enough.

Don't need no half-black guy with a furrin name from a big city tellin' me nuthin'.

[depakid]

21. Hey, don't forget the Aussies!

No "freedom" there either (Thank God).

[SOS]

45. Don't you feel sorry for our senior citizens?

With Medicare they had to give up all their freedom!

[babylonsister]

15. She doesn't want to have tp rationed. Who does?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=385&topic_id=352033

[Solly Mack]

17. She wouldn't have to worry about a lack of TP if she stopped spreading so much shit around

:D

[babylonsister]

26. Hahaha! So true, Solly!

:D :fistbump:

[PA Democrat]

23. I guess it's better to let the insurance companies ration health care

based upon profitability. Katy's not the brightest bulb in the room is she?

[depakid]

16. That's one pathetic American

Quite likely mentally unstable. Perfect for the corporate media to exploit.

[NJGeek]

19. dummy. should be a radio button not a check box

you can pick two checkboxes

[HughBeaumont]

48. The logic challenged don't need no steenkin' form controls!

:rofl: This clone's only radio button is that on her car . . . from Rush to Hannity in one tap.

[Jennicut]

25. "choose wisely"

Katy Abram is not wise. So its kind of an oxymoron. Or is that oxymoran?

[LibDemAlways]

29. Another stupid American who is clueless that the

Universal Health Care she's so afraid of would set her and every American free from worrying about losing everything to a devastating illness. Her employer sponsored corporate health insurance with its ever-increasing premiums and co-pays, denial of services, and ties to her present job provides no freedom and no guarantees. She's one diagnosis away from financial hell and too much of a "moran" to know it.

[PA Democrat]

43. Her situation is even worse. She is a stay-at-home mom; hubby is self-employed.

They have a high-deductible, catastrophic health insurance plan.

[Blue_Tires]

30. half-assed false dichotomy that the knucke-draggers excel in...

[City Lights]

32. She spelled it wrong...in her case, it's FREEDUMB.

Teh stoopid was out in force yesterday.

[Odin2005]

33. That's a whole lot of stupid.

[joecool65]

35. Saw it live

Her rant began in a somewhat reasonable fashion, then she just went psychotic. If I was captured in that manner on national television, I would be embarrassed.

[moggie]

36. Not a single spelling error!

The rest of the mob must regard her as a dangerous intellectual.

[Hepburn]

37. Terminal stupidity....

....first clue: Look at her perm!

[msedano]

38. saw similar signage in Alhambra CA

recommended.

[Kahuna]

42. These are the same people who gladly gave up their freedom to bushco..

'cause they were skeered.

[dgibby]

44. CNN had her on this am for an interview.

I think there's more to her than a "stay at home" mom. She referred to the Dems as the "Democrat" Party, but CNN cut that out in subsquent replays. Bet money she's going to be the new media darling. I'd sure like to know more about her. I smell a rat.

[PA Democrat]

49. She was on with Hannity last night .

She claimed to have been a Democrat but that her husband helped her see the error in her ways. Dumb little Stepford wife.

[taught_me_patience]

46. Freedom is...

Indentured servitude for five years after declaring bankruptcy because of medical bills. This lady is complete tool.

[PA Democrat]

52. She confirmed that with her pathetic appearance on Hardball.

[Cha]

47. She looks like a little scaredy cat shit who would rather

be brainwashed than know some fucking facts.

[graywarrior]

50. I see Prozac in her future.

[4_TN_TITANS]

51. I can't believe I turned off the Diane Rhem show

to listen to that garbage. Can anyone else tell from her body language and quirky expressions how emotionally wrecked and paranoid that chick is? I'll bet if someone asked her to join a protest over high diaper prices, she'd be humping that leg just as hard.

My read = emotionally unstable & stressed woman looking for a cause to unleash her frustrations on, with control-freak husband who gets some satisfaction out of winding her up and letting her go (crazy).

[kiva]

53. Just watched her on Hardball.

Lawrence O'Donnell did the best polite evisceration of someone that I've seen. *paraphrasing here* She whined that she didn't want her family's taxes to go up, and O'Donnell said that the current proposal would raise taxes on those with a family income of over $250,000 and asked if that would affect her family; she squirmed and said she'd rather not say, then blurted out that she didn't know, her husband took care of the money.

O'Donnell asked if her parents were on medicare and she said not yet; he then asked if she would be advising them not to accept medicare since she opposed federally sponsored health care.

O'Donnell talked about the fact she said she'd only recently gotten interested in politics and asked her why - when 9/11 and the war in Iraq didn't get her involved in politics - she would become interested when people recognized that poor people didn't have health insurance and gee, maybe we should help them.

She came across as an ignorant, self-absorbed fool, wrapped up in her Mormon faith and convinced that she actually knew something about history and politics. She's right about one thing - at one point she said "Maybe I'm stupid."

The interview is worth watching here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036697/vp/32393616#32393616 on msnbc.

[Born_A_Truman]

54. Looks like they found their Jill the Plumber!

[robertpaulsen]

55. If you have a pre-existing condition, freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

Too bad freedom doesn't really cost a buck oh five. :eyes:

[Mr. Sparkle]

56. I feel like i have dropped an iq point just looking at that picture.

great find.

[Gin]

57. "FREE" her from my TV and computer.....please!

why in the hell was she given so much publicity? television truly panders to the lowest common denominator.
