This is a video by Keith Olbermann which I find to be worthwhile (all 14 minutes) (on the subject of the violence at Town Halls and "Death Panels" and other made-up 'facts' about the bill) , but I know many of you will not because I know many of you dislike Olbermann strongly and his viewpoints. Just pass over if you don't like him, because he can be obnoxious. However the points he brings up a lot of the time are very valid and blazingly true.

I think one of the problems is that people don't know what is in the bill. As a matter of fact, is there even a bill? I'm sure if and when there is a bill, it will take a bunch of expert lawyers to figure it out.

Yeah that is a major problem, there hasn't been too much talk on what the bill actually is. And it is only a House Bill, the Senate has not even come up with their version of the bill.
A problem with that arrogant sob on msnbc is he starts with a terrible moment in American history.
Terrible moment? Terrible because people disagree with you?
His fascination with Sarah Palin is sad.
She should not be in any municipality, does he say the same about others?
Congressman being hung, but when death to Bush was said he was quiet.
He does not like mob rule, but fast tracking billions in spending is good?
Racsim argumnet is old and shows his failure to grasp the concept that those that disagree may not have the same distorted view of the world as he does.
He takes a few words and gives us a rant and then comments its just a neighbor who disagrees with you.
hmmm, is that the same almost immoral and astroturf of a certain speaker of the house.
He wants dialogue and open minds, but fails to even understand the basic concept.
He cries about insurance comapnies, but somehow the bar association is offlimits.
Others are biased, he is fair.
They did want those those false emails and since the WH can not delete them, they would have to keep them, but guess since someone else did something wrong, its ok.
The government already controls too much and the more information they have on people, the scarier it is.
He fails to connect the dots shows his utter blindness that those in power have a thirst for more power and fails to understand basic economics.
That is why he is a sad and not worth the attention of anyone.

The problem is that we don't have enough people in the media who call it straight down the middle without any bias. Olbermann and Maddow are clearly hardcore liberals, then you have guys like Hannity and Limbaugh who lean way too far to the right. There isn't any balance or objectivity.
